About the Role
Burberry is seeking an experienced Senior Pattern Cutter to create technically complex soft garments for Runway, Pre-Collections, and Special Projects. This role involves translating ambitious design concepts into beautifully resolved patterns, preserving silhouette, movement, and proportion, and taking ownership of styles from development through to final resolution. The Senior Pattern Cutter will also contribute to strengthening technical capabilities within the Atelier through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Responsibilities
- Create and develop technically complex patterns for dresses, gowns, skirts, blouses, tops, and other soft-sewn garments from sketches, blocks, draped concepts, reference pieces, and creative direction.
- Translate the Design vision into technically resolved garments while protecting the intended silhouette, volume, balance, movement, and styling.
- Lead assigned styles through pattern development, toile, fittings, amendments, and final resolution, identifying and addressing technical, fit, or fabrication risks.
- Apply advanced draping, bias cutting, soft construction, and garment-engineering techniques to delicate, fluid, and technically challenging fabrics.
- Partner with Design, Product Development, Atelier Management, Seamstresses, and Pattern Cutters to deliver exceptional craftsmanship within seasonal and project priorities.
- Share specialist knowledge, support colleagues’ technical development, and contribute to the evolution of traditional and digital pattern-cutting practices across the Atelier.
Requirements
- Deep practical expertise in soft-garment pattern cutting, draping, and construction gained within a luxury atelier, couture, high-end fashion house, or comparable environment.
- A strong understanding of fit, proportion, balance, body movement, and the relationship between fabric, pattern, construction, and final garment behaviour.
- A track record of working with delicate or technically challenging materials, including lightweight, fluid, transparent, or bias-cut fabrics.
- The ability to interpret complex creative concepts and develop precise technical solutions while maintaining the integrity of the original Design vision.
- A collaborative and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to manage priorities, communicate risks clearly, and contribute constructively during fittings.
- Clear communication in English, and an interest in sharing knowledge while continuing to develop traditional and digital craft techniques.
