We are looking for a Design Intern to join our Design Department for a period of 12 months. Our placements start in Autumn 2022 and are open to students who are available to do a placement year in 2022/2023 starting November 2022.
Our Design team are at the core of our business, creating the mood, colour palette, prints and key shapes of our collection each season that offer our Hobbs customer a point of difference. Working closely with the buying team to develop new product ranges seasonally, our designers ensure the balance of commerciality and fashion is met – the team keep abreast of the key global trends and anticipate those which are relevant to our Hobbs customer.
