Fashion Design

Design Lead-level less important - Junior
PefectlyFitting - New York, United States

A start-up company seeks out a talented forward-
thinking designer to bring some innovation to an
otherwise traditional and often stale apparel
segment.

The business was born from the vision of a
strategic planner who has worked in the NYC
advertising, marketing and new product
development industry for over a decade. The
business is destined for success as it's based on
a critical gap in the market. but needs a designer
with the imagination to make it happen.

An interest in bringing a new sense of style,
sensibility and substance to the world of
undergarments (bras, et al) is a must. Number of
years experience is of no concern, but ability to
innovate and technical skills are critical.

Thanks so very much!
