Assistant Designer, SPORTSWEAR

Assistant Designer

Originally founded in 1975, BCI has continually evolved to become a leader in the women's fashion industry. Launching initially with CHAUS and private label lines and then expanding into a multi-brand platform business, we have been at the forefront of market trends and the changing retail environment. Our brands, including CeCe, Vince Camuto, Ted Baker, 1.State and Parker, each serve unique customer demographics but are united in their commitment to quality and style. As we expand our presence, BCI remains dedicated to innovation, excellence, and women's empowerment through fashion.

This role is ideal for someone early in their fashion career who's eager to learn, support senior designers, and contribute to the full design process—from concept through production. The Assistant Designer will work closely with the Design Director on the development of the line.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the design and development of women's sportswear from concept to production
• Support in building design boards, sketching flats, and updating tech packs
• Help organize and maintain design sheets and seasonal line plans
• Research trends, colors, and materials relevant to the active and sportswear market
• Source fabrics, trims, and prints from vendors with guidance from the senior design team
• Assist in sample development by preparing materials and tracking sample progress
• Set up new styles with updated fabrics and prints for sampling (in our house sample room)
• Creating cad decks for sales with notes from buyers.
• Input sample data into asset manager
• Stay organized with fabric swatches, trims, and internal files
