Here at Free People, our design team is made up of 40 people. Though most studied design in college, several did not. Their successes are the same regardless of their degrees. In fact, our two most senior designers majored in computer science and art history.
Please submit a project that shows both your love and understanding of the Free People product and your vision of what the product should look like.
You can sew, sketch, collage…anything you’d like…to clearly express your creativity.
We will be accepting projects until January 30th. Please email a photo attachment (preferably a JPEG) of your project to: designlove@freepeople.com
The designers whose work we love may have an opportunity to travel to Philadelphia to interview and spend a day with us.
We are very excited to find some extremely talented young designers to add to our growing team!
Do you have to be able to sew / knit?
I have a jewelry business would that count if I put the items with an outfit i put together that I thought represented free people?
Is it necessary to live in Phily?
Do you have to be American citizen to apply?
hi! we are looking for people who love to knit, sew and design clothing. as mentioned above, if we love your work, you might have the opportunity to travel to philly for an interview. you do not have to live in philly or be an american citizen but you would have to move here for the job.
If you need a photographer for any upcoming projects, let me know! I’d love the opportunity!

What a wonderful opportunity!!! i love that you are willing to consider any creative “free people” who are following their dreams, regardless of degree!

I just wanna be there its my dream!
Too bad the job is only offered half way around the world. I live in Sweden and I think it’s about time you open up a store here in Sweden – I can be your store manager and contact her in Sweden! I love knitting, crafting, sewing, crocheting and all that jazz, so decorating the store and keeping it Free People-style would be the perfect job for me.
When will the designers be contacted concerning their ideas?
hi guys! this is an entry level, out of college job. we will be accepting projects until january 30th.
I’m also wondering if you have to know how to sew/ draw/ work with CAD, as most design positions require this.
Love this picture all the girls look great…..
Is this opportunity strictly for fashion designers? or does it it include graphic design?
I think this is such an amazing oppurtunity, will this competition be held yearly?
I too would like to know if this includes graphic design at all?
hi! we are looking for clothing designers. i don’t think this is a yearly thing but we’re always hiring for other positions in the home office, check out our job site:http://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.welcome&category_id=9930&company_id=15602&version=4&startflag=1&parent=Home%20Office&levelid1=9930
What does your sewing/knitting level have to be? Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced?
What..[!] seriously, Yes!!
I’m a design illustrator/stylist that just graduated from Milano last year. I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this for a while now[about a year]. Unfortunately the job market for those of us that have just graduated has been virtually non existent lol, but fortunately now there is this. I love vintage, and after looking through all you blog and everything[your style], i cld definitely see myself styling with you guy. So a big thanks for this opportunity, on behave of everyone like moi.
perfect. Free the ppl.

&Happy New Year ;’D
