Job Description

Freelance Apparel Designer creating streetwear for a global music-related brand. Designing apparel from concept to production with a focus on trends and street culture.

Responsibilities:

  • Set product direction for apparel and lifestyle ranges: silhouettes, fits, fabrications, colourways and styling.
  • Design pieces from concept to production - tees, caps, outerwear, totes and accessories - including graphics, trims and detailing.
  • Select and modify garment blanks where appropriate; spec fabric weights, washes and finishes.
  • Build techpacks and production-ready files, and work with sourcing partners through sampling and fit approval.
  • Track streetwear and lifestyle trends across South East Asia and globally, and translate them into a coherent range point of view.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years designing apparel in streetwear, contemporary or lifestyle categories.
  • A portfolio of produced work - pieces that were manufactured and sold, not just concepts.
  • Demonstrated taste and trend fluency: you can articulate why a fit, weight or shape is right for a brand and a moment.
  • Solid technical grounding: garment specs, fabrication, techpacks and the sampling process.
  • Graphic sensibility - comfortable designing or art-directing prints and embroidery alongside product.
  • Deep familiarity with street culture, music and design - particularly in South East Asia.
  • Self-directed and reliable on deadlines; comfortable working remotely with a Singapore-based team.
  • Bonus: experience collaborating with artists or musicians, or building a label or capsule from scratch.
