    Description

    About Us:

    PISTOLA is redefining modern denim through craftsmanship and innovation, blending timeless style with forward-thinking design to create iconic, sustainable, and functional pieces that inspire confidence in every fit. As a Los Angeles-based contemporary apparel brand under KNG (PISTOLA and DAZE), we're known for effortlessly elevated essentials with a clean, cool California aesthetic.

    Position Overview:

    As the Associate Designer for Private Label, you will support the design and development of exclusive collections for our major retail partners. You will act as a bridge between Pistola's core aesthetic, known for effortlessly elevated essentials and the specific SKU needs of our key accounts. This role requires a high level of organization, a fast-paced "driver" mentality, and a deep understanding of the contemporary denim and ready-to-wear landscape.

    What You'll Do:

    • Collaborate with the Sr. Designer in the conceptualization, design, and development of seasonal denim collections.
    • Translate trend research and market insights into fresh, brand-relevant design ideas.
    • Create detailed technical sketches and CADs using Adobe Illustrator.
    • Build and present seasonal inspiration boards, color palettes, and concept presentations.
    • Develop and maintain tech packs, design line sheets, and PLM data.
    • Manage sample development process—track status, review submits, and ensure alignment with design intent.
    • Partner closely with Product Development and Technical Design teams to ensure design integrity through fit and production.
    • Participate in fittings, provide feedback, and oversee revisions.
    • Maintain sample libraries, fabric swatches, and trim archives.
    • Stay informed on current and emerging trends in denim, youth culture, and streetwear to inform design direction.
    • Support calendar management to ensure key milestones and deliverables are met

    What You'll Have:

    • Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design or related field.
    • 4+ years of experience in apparel design, preferably within denim or casualwear categories.
    • Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign); experience with PLM systems preferred.
    • Excellent technical drawing, sketching, and garment construction knowledge.
    • Strong understanding of washes, fabrications, and denim development.
    • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and follow-through.
    • Able to work both independently and collaboratively within a creative team environment.
    • Passionate about denim, street style, and youth culture, with an eye for trend and innovation.
    • Organized and strong attention to detail
    • Collaborative and solutions-oriented with cross functional teams
    • Adaptable to fast-paced, feedback-driven environments
    • Strong follow-through
    • Must be currently based in Los Angeles; no relocation assistance or support for out-of-state transitions is available at this time.
