💻 The Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Fashion Designer to lead the creation and launch of an in-house brand using THE/STUDIO’s manufacturing ecosystem.

This role is part of a high-impact, experimental initiative designed to push our supply chain, production processes, and product experience forward.

You’ll have full access to our factories, materials, and production partners, with samples and production costs fully covered by THE/STUDIO. While THE/STUDIO will own the brand, you will act as its Creative Director, with meaningful creative autonomy and influence over the brand’s vision, aesthetic, and execution.

• Strong creative direction skills, with working knowledge of branding, graphic design, and fashion marketing

• Experience working directly with factories and production partners, balancing creative vision with real-world constraints

• Exposure to accessories, jewelry, or home decor is a strong plus

• Highly self-directed and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-paced startup environment

• Strong sense of urgency, bias toward action, and ability to operate well with ambiguity

• Clear communicator and collaborator who brings thoughtful insights to both internal teams and customers

• Deep passion for fashion, materials, and craftsmanship, with curiosity about how things are made and improved
