About Cinq à Sept

cinq à sept sank

• ah
• set sæŋk’e’set n : The time between late afternoon and early evening when streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and anything is possible

Sharing its name with the French term for the liminal moment linking late afternoon and early evening, Cinq à Sept brings the intriguing tension between day and night to a new advanced contemporary collection. Inspired by the hours between 5 and 7 p.m., when city streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and office desks are abandoned for cocktails and as-yet unknown possibilities, Cinq à Sept embodies a deliberate balance between sophistication and ease, youthful daring and confident allure. The collection’s modern feminine aesthetic embraces unexpected details and striking silhouettes, resulting in clothing that draw their romance and sexiness from the woman wearing them.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Fabric Research & Development Associate to join our team and support material development from initial concept through to pre-production. This role plays a key part in bringing seasonal fashion collections to life by ensuring the right materials are developed, sourced, and delivered on time.

The ideal candidate is collaborative, organized, and an excellent communicator, with a strong understanding of textiles and a passion for fashion. You’ll work closely with mills, suppliers, and internal design, production, and merchandising teams to manage seasonal development of fabrics, leathers, and trims. Responsibilities include tracking development timelines, reviewing quality and cost, maintaining technical documentation, coordinating sample and bulk orders, and ensuring timely delivery. You will also maintain an organized and up-to-date fabric library that supports the creative process.
