With a growing international presence, we are looking for an exceptional Senior Creative Pattern Cutter & Technical Designer to work closely with our Founder and Creative Director in Dubai.
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled individual with an outstanding eye for design, silhouette, proportion and construction to play an integral role in bringing our creative vision to life.
The Role
We are seeking someone who combines exceptional technical pattern-cutting expertise with a strong creative understanding of luxury fashion.
Working directly alongside the founder, you will translate sketches, references and design concepts into beautifully constructed, production-ready garments.
You must be confident developing original patterns from scratch, refining complex silhouettes and finding creative solutions to achieve the desired design.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop original patterns from sketches, images, references and creative direction.
* Translate design concepts into technically accurate, beautifully proportioned garments.
* Create and refine toiles, prototypes and samples, overseeing fittings and alterations.
* Develop structured outerwear including leather jackets, suede trenches, tailored coats, capes and statement pieces.
* Work confidently with leather, suede, faux fur and other specialist fabrics.
* Perfect technical details including collars, lapels, shoulders, sleeves, linings and garment construction.
* Advise on fabric suitability, construction methods and design feasibility.
* Prepare comprehensive technical packs, measurements, specifications and production-ready patterns.
* Liaise with overseas manufacturers to ensure designs are executed accurately.
* Oversee sampling and resolve fit, pattern and construction issues through to production approval.
About You
Essential Requirements

* Demonstrable experience in luxury or premium ready-to-wear, ideally specialising in outerwear.
* Exceptional manual pattern-cutting, draping and garment construction skills.
* Ability to create original patterns from concept, rather than relying solely on existing blocks.
* Excellent understanding of fit, proportion, tailoring and complex garment construction.
* Strong creative instincts and the ability to interpret and elevate a designer's vision.
* Experience developing garments from initial prototype through to factory-ready production.
* Excellent attention to detail and uncompromising standards of quality.
* Based in Dubai and available to work in person 2–3 days per week.
Highly Desirable
* Previous experience with established luxury fashion houses or premium designer labels.
* Specialist experience working with leather, suede and structured outerwear.
* Proficiency in digital pattern-making software such as Gerber, Lectra or CLO 3D.
* Ability to personally construct samples or work closely with a sample machinist.
* Experience managing international sampling and manufacturing.
* Mandarin speaking is a bonus.
What We Offer
* The opportunity to work directly with the Founder and Creative Director of a growing British fashion brand.
* Genuine creative involvement in developing new collections.
* Flexible freelance working arrangements, approximately 2–3 days per week.
* An exciting and varied range of premium outerwear projects.
* Competitive remuneration dependent on experience.
How to Apply
Please submit your CV and portfolio demonstrating your technical pattern-cutting expertise, examples of completed garments and previous luxury outerwear experience.
We would also love to hear about your availability, current location and expected freelance day rate.
