The Voxy Mission
Voxy is a growing fashion enterprise dedicated to the professional standard of luxury and bespoke design. We specialize in bridal, high-fashion, and luxury textiles. As we expand our operations, we are looking for a skilled Fashion Artisan who takes pride in their craft and understands that the beauty of a Voxy garment lies in the details. We value "smart brains," a proactive attitude, and the ability to grow with us.
Role Purpose
The Fashion Artisan will support our Bespoke and Bridal units by applying hand-beading, embroidery, and surface details to our garments. We aren't looking for perfection from day one; we are looking for a dedicated professional who is committed to high-quality work, constant improvement, and upholding the Voxy brand identity.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Application: Execute hand-beading, sequin placement, and lace appliqué onto various fabrics with care and precision.
Design Collaboration: Work with the design team to ensure beading patterns match the client's vision and the garment's structure.
Quality Maintenance: Perform self-checks to ensure beads are securely fastened and patterns are consistent across the garment.
Careful Material Handling: Track and manage the use of beads, crystals, and trims to minimize unnecessary waste while maintaining a clean workspace.
Professional Conduct: Maintain a reliable and proactive presence in the workshop, adhering to the company’s professional standards and timelines.
Qualifications & Requirements
Experience: Proven experience in hand-beading and garment embellishment (specifically in bridal or occasional wear).
Technical Skill: A strong hand for needlework and an understanding of how different beads interact with different fabric weights.
Problem-Solving Brain: A "smart-brain" approach to layout—knowing how to adjust a pattern if the fabric sits differently than expected.
Reliability: A proactive attitude and the ability to meet production deadlines without compromising the look of the piece.
Team Player: Comfortable working in a family-business environment where collaboration and clear communication are key.
Core Competencies
Attention to Detail: The ability to spot and fix loose threads or uneven spacing before a garment moves to the next stage.
Patience: The discipline required for detailed, manual work on high-value garments.
Growth Mindset: A willingness to learn new Voxy-specific techniques and improve speed and quality over time.
