Graphic Designer

We are recruiting a very talented graphic designer for a full-time position.

THE BRAND:

Hayley Menzies is a British luxury brand that exists to bring a sense of escapism into the everyday wardrobe. Inspired by nature's vivacity, faraway travels and the glamour and hedonism of eras past, the Hayley Menzies aesthetic is shaped by a collector's mindset. A hunter-gatherer style rich with reference and fantasy, each piece is made as a collectible. Designed not only as a standalone statement, but to be layered artfully and with singularity. Richly woven jacquard knits and lengths of printed silk are crafted as flights of fancy using techniques that have been passed through generations. A small- scale approach to design and production prioritises exquisite craft and uncompromisingly beautiful fabrics. Imaginative and unexpected, Hayley Menzies is for the woman who dares to be excessively herself.
