• Collaboration & Presentation: Present new trends and collections to internal and external stakeholders. You will work closely with the merchandising team to define seasonal timelines and ensure creative and business goals are in sync.
• Product Execution: Oversee the approval of sales samples and provide fit comments to ensure each garment is production-ready. You will be responsible for staying on track with the time and action calendar to meet all deadlines.

• Garment Construction: A solid understanding of garment construction, specifically regarding wovens, is essential.

Personal Attributes:

• Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and meeting tight deadlines.
• Creativity: A highly creative individual with a passion for traditional style and a portfolio showcasing a cohesive, polished body of work.
