A Day In the life of a Lipsy Garment Technologist.

The Lipsy technical team has grown to a team of 10, including a permanent fit model. Each garment technologist has their own product area that they work on directly with their Buyer and Designer.

We partner weekly with the Buyer and Designer in the fit sessions to ensure the garments look how they envisage and to ensure we meet our Lipsy customer expectations. We fit on a standard size 10 and we want to ensure the dress, top or bottom is at an exceptionally high standard with regards to quality and fit.

It’s incredibly important that we have the best relationship with our suppliers so we ensure we meet them regularly and speak to them daily. We also work closely with our warehouse quality team, ensuring the goods received from our suppliers meet the Lipsy standard.

 With the fast pace of the Lipsy business, the team is passionate and adaptable to the constantly changing environment. This might mean supplier and factory visits home and abroad, warehouse visits, working on projects such as supplier manuals, grading and blocks and our new childrens product. We are always challenging our processes and coming up with new ways to be more efficient and save cost for the business as part of the team strategy.

We encourage development of all our staff, so we incorporate technical seminars, along with formal and informal training sessions, with more senior members of the team mentoring others.

But not everything is so serious; we like to have fun at Lipsy too. We are currently organising fundraising events for our chosen charity Mind and there are always plenty of social events happening to be able to get to know each other.

Lipsy is a growing business which means new product areas are coming on board all the time. We are excited by the launch of our new childrenswear range and are looking for a Garment Technologist to support this exciting new area.
