Make $90k-100k/year

Who We Are

o5 group (formerly Oved Five Star Apparel) is an industry leader in global fashion and apparel design with 40+ years of success across wholesale, e-commerce, and retail. Privately owned and headquartered in NYC, we power a dynamic portfolio of global brands. Our in-house teams lead in design and product development, and we’re committed to operational excellence (production, sourcing, logistics). Category expertise spans menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, denim, outerwear, activewear, and loungewear/pajamas—trusted by top retailers.

About the Role

We’re seeking a trend-driven Designer to lead concept-to-creation across denim and lifestyle apparel. You’ll translate market insights into seasonal collections, driving color, fabric, washes, trims, print/graphics, and silhouette strategy—partnering closely with graphics, technical design, production, and vendors to deliver elevated, brand-right product.

How You’ll Contribute

· Own the end-to-end design process—from concept, color, wash, special treatments/finishes, and trim details (embroidery, appliqué, piping) to final execution.

· Shop the market and conduct competitive analysis/benchmarking; translate trend, fabric, trim, silhouette, and graphic/print insights into on-trend assortments (with a focus on denim).

· Build seasonal stories: mood boards, theme direction, sample rigging, and trend presentations; align with the Director of Design on creative direction.

· Partner with print/graphics and cross-functional teams to execute a clear, elevated seasonal vision.

· Work with the sample room and local vendors to develop prototypes and presentation samples to meet deliverables.

· Collaborate with technical design and production on fit/quality approvals to ensure brand standards are met.

· Initiate new denim concepts and categories; propose innovative washes, treatments, and silhouettes.

· Manage fabric and trim follow-ups to keep calendars on track.

What You Bring to the Team

· 7+ years of experience in fashion/apparel design (denim, sportswear, or lifestyle categories preferred).

· Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CAD.

· Proven success in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

· Strong knowledge of garment construction and tech pack creation.

· Experience collaborating with overseas factories and domestic vendors.

· Excellent communication and presentation skills; meticulous attention to detail with a spirit of innovation.
