Maintain and update the fashion and cultural calendar, tracking upcoming trade shows, exhibitions, key events, and relevant cultural releases.
Generate inspirational design boards and updating seasonal colour flow charts.

What You’ll Bring
You are highly trend-aware, creatively curious, and commercially minded. You have a natural ability to connect cultural shifts to real-world product opportunities, thriving in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
