CREATE COLLECTIONS. SHAPE THE BRAND. SEE YOUR DESIGNS REACH THE MARKET.
Alexia Admor is an established contemporary womenswear brand specializing in dresses and sportswear, with distribution through leading department stores, off-price retailers, and e-commerce channels.
We’re looking for a Senior Fashion Designer with a strong creative point of view, commercial instincts, and the ability to move great ideas from concept to finished product.
This is an opportunity to have a meaningful voice in what we create and how our collections come to life. Working directly with company leadership, you’ll help shape seasonal direction, develop new product, build retailer-specific capsules, and guide the visual presentation of the collection.
If you enjoy taking ownership, working closely with decision-makers, and seeing the results of your work in the market, we’d love to meet you.
WHY JOIN ALEXIA ADMOR?
• Real creative ownership: Influence seasonal concepts, silhouettes, fabrics, prints, and collection direction.
• Direct access to leadership: Present ideas, make recommendations, and help drive product decisions.
• Broad market exposure: Develop collections for department stores, off-price retailers, wholesale, and e-commerce.
• Visible impact: Work within a small, collaborative team where your contribution matters.
• Room to innovate: Bring fresh thinking to design, product presentation, and digital creative tools.
