Fashion Designer

Company Description

Bluethread Brands is a leading fashion conglomerate known for its diverse portfolio of fashion brands Dorabi (www.shopdorabi.com) and Aamili (www.aamili.com).

Role Description

We're hiring a Fashion Designer (3–5 years experience) — Gurgaon/Delhi NCR

This is not a typical design role.

At Dorabi, design is not just about creating clothes. It's about building a visual language, shaping a brand, and understanding what actually works in the real world — not just on a moodboard.

We're looking for someone who is:

• An artist at heart — you think in textures, stories, forms, and emotion

• Deeply technical — garment construction, fit, sketching, and fabric understanding are second nature to you

• Curious about data — you care about what sells, why it sells, and how design decisions impact business

• Comfortable working in a startup — fast, messy, hands-on, and beyond defined roles

• Long-term oriented — you're not here to do a collection, you want to help build a brand identity over time

What you'll do:

• Design collections end-to-end — from concept to final product

• Work closely on developing Dorabi's evolving visual identity

• Translate creative ideas into commercially viable products

• Collaborate across functions — marketing, production, merchandising

• Be involved in fittings, sampling, and fabric development (including dye processes)

• Take ownership — not just of design, but outcomes

Must-haves (non-negotiable):

• 3–5 years of experience in fashion design

• Strong command over garment construction and fit

• Excellent sketching and visualization skills

• Solid understanding of fabrics and processes (including pre-dye stages like RFD, fabric behavior, etc.)

• Ability to balance creativity with commercial thinking

This role is not for you if:

• You only enjoy the creative side but not execution

• You are not detail-oriented or technically strong

• You're looking for a slow-paced or highly structured environment

We're building something long-term and meaningful.

• If that excites you, write to us at [Confidential Information] with your portfolio and a note on how you think design and business should work together.
