Fashion Designer Needed for "Old Money" Inspired Menswear Line
I am launching a new clothing line that embodies the timeless elegance of the old money aesthetic, combining high-quality craftsmanship with sophisticated and understated designs. I am seeking a talented fashion designer to conceptualize and create designs for menswear, focusing on pieces such as polos, chinos, trousers, belts, and turtlenecks.
Your designs should capture the essence of quiet luxury—effortless style that reflects refinement and attention to detail. The target audience is men aged 18-40 who value high-quality, classic fashion with a modern twist.
Key Responsibilities:
Design Creation:
Create original sketches and technical designs for the following:
Polos: Tailored fits with luxurious fabrics (e.g., Pima cotton, silk blends) and subtle, refined details such as contrasting trims, embroidered logos, or unique button placements.
Chinos: Slim or straight-fit chinos in neutral and earthy tones, incorporating clean lines and superior tailoring.
Trousers: Elegant dress trousers suitable for semi-formal and formal occasions, with options for pleats and flat fronts.
Turtlenecks: Lightweight, high-quality knit turtlenecks in classic colors like black, navy, cream, and charcoal.
Belts: Design versatile leather belts with understated yet distinct buckles, incorporating classic materials like calf leather or suede.
Material and Fabric Selection:
Recommend premium materials that align with the old money aesthetic, such as merino wool, cashmere, silk blends, Pima cotton, and fine twill.
Color Palette Development:
Develop a palette of neutral tones (e.g., beige, navy, cream, gray) with occasional accent colors (e.g., forest green, burgundy) for versatility and timelessness.
Details and Accents:
Incorporate subtle, sophisticated details that elevate the garments, such as monogramming, stitching details, tailored fits, and polished finishes.
Mood Boards and Inspiration:
Present mood boards that capture the old money aesthetic, drawing inspiration from icons like JFK Jr., vintage Ralph Lauren campaigns, and East Coast elite fashion.
Tech Pack Development:
Provide tech packs for manufacturing, including detailed measurements, material specs, construction techniques, and color swatches.
