Reimagine. Refine. Release. Design defines everything we do. We’ll show you how to create products that end up in every customer’s home and wardrobe.
About the role
In this role, you’ll experience the key areas of fashion design and understand how they all work together to bring sustainable style, quality, and innovation to our customers.
What you’ll be doing
What does it take to create a product that becomes a must-have? It’s probably a lot more than you think. If you’re someone who always has an eye on the trends that most people haven’t seen coming yet and have always had a flair for fashion, we’ll show you how to translate it into clothing loved by millions of people. Over 12 months, you’ll rotate through different design teams such as menswear, womenswear, kids or lingerie to experience what it takes to design the highest quality, most sustainable fashion products.
What you’ll need
To succeed here, you’ll need to be a team player who tells it as it is, wants to aim high and learn fast.
Our Clothing and Home products are world-famous and high quality, so its essential that you are working towards a design-related degree and have bags of work you're bursting at the seams to tell us about.
You'll show a demonstrable interest in working in design at a retail company as well as hands on experience using Adobe Illustrator.
Our Industrial Placement Programmes are designed for undergraduates in their penultimate year of study. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of their preferred programme.

With our support, we want you to own and drive your development.
