COS Freelance Fashion Designer (Speculative)

£24.2 - £26.9 per hourEstimated
Job Description

At COS, we believe in the power of creative collaboration and the art of timeless design. We are always eager to connect with freelance fashion designers who share our passion for modernity, functional elegance, and innovative craftsmanship. If you are driven to create garments that inspire-pieces that blend sophistication with practicality and elevate everyday wear-we would love to hear your story. We warmly welcome speculative applications from designers who dream of shaping the future of fashion alongside us.

As a freelance partner, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to concept development, push boundaries through design exploration, refine products, and infuse our collections with your unique vision.

We are keen to connect with talented designers at all stages of their careers, but we are especially interested in meeting accomplished senior creatives, design managers, and heads of design across every product category, including menswear, womenswear, and accessories. If you're ready to make your mark and bring fresh perspectives to COS, reach out and let's create something remarkable together.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in hearing from designers who can demonstrate:

A strong aesthetic aligned with the COS design philosophy
  • Modern, brand relevant, effortless design
  • Silhouette driven designs and innovative construction
  • A depth or understanding for fabric, technique, and thoughtful detail
Proven design experience within womenswear, menswear, or accessories
  • Experience in contemporary, premium, or luxury fashion markets
  • Strong ability to interpret brand DNA into commercially relevant design
Excellent portfolio that showcases: - Concept development
  • Research and mood exploration
  • Technical sketches and garment details
  • Final product or collection outcomes
  • Exploration of materials, textures, and sustainable design approach
Strong technical and creative capabilities
  • Confident hand and digital sketching
  • Understanding of pattern cutting and garment construction
  • Ability to work with 3D and AI design tools
Collaborative approach & professional communication
  • Ability to work to briefs, timelines, and feedback
  • Experience working with product development teams or manufacturers
  • Strong organisational and self-management skills throughout the collection process, collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, including during remote working.
  • Flexibility in managing workflow schedules to ensure efficient collaboration with the in-house team.
How to Apply

If you're interested in being considered for upcoming freelance opportunities, please upload
  • Your CV
  • Portfolio or PDF of recent work (or link to online portfolio)
  • A short introduction outlining your design focus and availability
Please note that all freelance roles require spending a significant amount of time working from our beautiful, art-deco inspired office and atelier in central London. Regular commuting to London is therefore essential for anyone considering a freelance position with us.
