Reporting To: Operations Manager
Deadline: 21st November 2025

About: Gigi & Olive is a modern bridal brand creating thoughtful, personal, and joyful pieces for brides and their wedding parties. Known for our elevated aesthetic, attention to detail, and signature personalisation, we design beautiful products that celebrate love in all its forms.

As we grow, we’re expanding into new product categories that reflect our brand world and community — from luxury nightwear to modern bridal-inspired ready-to-wear.  We’re looking for a talented, experienced fashion designer–developer to collaborate with our founder and operations team on the next phase of Gigi & Olive’s product evolution.

This role will lead the design and development of a new premium apparel line for the brand, starting with luxury bridal nightwear and expanding into bride and bridal party ready-to-wear. The ideal candidate will blend creative flair with strong technical knowledge, able to turn an idea into a beautifully made, commercially viable product.

Location: London (in-person fittings and sample reviews required)

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create design concepts and sketches in line with the Gigi & Olive aesthetic and brand direction
  • Produce detailed tech packs and technical drawings for sampling and production
  • Advise on fabric selection, trims, and finishing for premium quality
  • Manage fittings and sample reviews in person in London, ensuring the highest standard of construction and fit
  • Work closely with our operations team and production partners to refine samples and prepare for production
  • Ensure designs meet both creative and commercial objectives
  • Collaborate with internal and external partners, including manufacturers and suppliers

Requirements:

  • We’re looking for someone dynamic and entrepreneurial — a designer who’s as passionate about luxury craftsmanship as they are about building a brand.
  • At least 3 years' fashion design, product development, or garment technology experience
  • Proven ability to create both design concepts and detailed technical specifications
  • Strong understanding of pattern cutting, garment construction, and fit
  • Experience managing the sampling process with factories or ateliers
  • Excellent communication and project management skills
  • A refined, modern aesthetic aligned with Gigi & Olive’s brand values
  • Based in London or able to attend fittings and sample reviews in person

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in small-batch production or emerging luxury brands
  • Familiarity with embroidery or personalised detailing
  • Fashion design, product development, or garment technology experience in bridalwear, nightwear, or womenswear
