Assistant Fashion Designer

About Us

Zwaan is an evening wear fashion label rooted in timeless elegance and modern femininity. Based in New Delhi, our design philosophy is driven by clean lines, thoughtful details, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. As a growing label with a presence in multi-designer stores across India and select international platforms, we are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our creative journey.

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Assistant Fashion Designer to support the design team in developing seasonal collections and custom orders. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of pattern making, garment construction, fabric sourcing, and a keen eye for design. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and is excited to contribute to various facets of a growing fashion brand.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist the head designer in developing and executing new collections from concept to production.
• Create technical sketches and detailed specification sheets.
• Conduct fabric and trim sourcing, vendor communication, and sample follow-ups.
• Coordinate with sampling and production teams to ensure timely development and execution of designs.
• Maintain design archives, mood boards, and seasonal presentations.

• Assist in styling and preparations for lookbooks, campaigns, and editorial shoots.
• Stay updated on fashion trends, market movements, and competitor brands.

Additional Notes

As we are a small and closely-knit team, we value adaptability and team spirit. While your primary role will be within the design department, we appreciate a proactive attitude and openness to supporting other brand functions when required — whether it’s helping out on shoots, exhibitions, or assisting in brand-related projects.
