Your fashion career deserves more than another assistant role. Ready to take your fashion knowledge beyond the classroom and into the world of luxury fashion?
This is an opportunity to join an internationally recognised ready-to-wear fashion business, working behind the scenes to bring beautifully considered collections to life.
If you have some hands-on fashion, design or production experience and want to understand how fabrics, trims and technical details come together in a global fashion business, this could be your next move.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS
Our client is a Melbourne-founded luxury fashion house with an international presence, known for its distinctive bridal and ready-to-wear collections.
With a strong design identity and a growing global footprint, the business brings together creativity, craftsmanship and technical expertise to deliver exceptional garments.
You'll be joining a passionate team where the details matter, collaboration is key, and your contribution helps bring each collection from concept to production.

ABOUT THE ROLE
Working closely with Design, Development and Production, you'll support the sourcing, development and coordination of fabrics and trims across ready-to-wear collections.
You'll work with a worldwide supplier network and gain exposure to the journey from initial material selection through to sampling, bulk production and delivery.

• Support fabric and trim sourcing in line with design and quality requirements.
• Liaise with suppliers on pricing, delivery and technical information.
• Coordinate sampling and bulk material orders across local and offshore partners.
• Manage lab dips and colour approvals alongside the Design team.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• A fashion, textiles or design qualification, or equivalent practical experience.
• Some experience in fashion design, production, textiles or product development.
• Exposure to garment sampling or in-house production workflows.
• An interest in fabrics, trims, garment construction and quality.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• Confidence communicating with suppliers and internal teams.
• Good Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
• Experience with an ERP or PLM system is advantageous.

Around two years' apparel experience is desirable, but we're also interested in emerging talent with relevant hands-on experience and a genuine passion for fashion.
