About the Role

• Partner with print/graphics and cross-functional teams to execute a clear, elevated seasonal vision.
• Work with the sample room and local vendors to develop prototypes and presentation samples to meet deliverables.
• Collaborate with technical design and production on fit/quality approvals to ensure brand standards are met.
• Initiate new denim concepts and categories; propose innovative washes, treatments, and silhouettes.
