The Senior Graphic Designer will lead the design and development of the brand’s expanding product categories, spanning elevated tailoring, suiting, outerwear, lounge, denim, jersey and knitwear. Reporting to the Founders and Head of Product to translate the brand’s signature aesthetic into refined, high-impact collections that support the brand’s evolution into a globally recognised, premium fashion destination.
