About the Role
Urban Revivo, a fashion brand under the FMG Group, is expanding in the UK. We are seeking a fashion-led Fabric Buyer - Woven with a strong eye for structure, drape and surface interest, and how they translate into modern, commercial garments.
This is a fabric-focused buying role, centred on sourcing and selecting commercially relevant woven fabrics from suppliers, rather than leading large-scale fabric innovation. It is ideal for someone who thinks in silhouettes when reviewing fabrics and can immediately recognise how a woven quality could be used and whether in tailored pieces, structured dresses, fluid midis, statement shirts or elevated outer layers.
You will play a key role in shaping the seasonal woven fabric direction, using fabric knowledge and fashion judgement to influence product and design decisions within a fast fashion context.
What You’ll Do
- Research, source and select woven fabrics aligned with seasonal trends, brand direction and target price architecture
- Evaluate fabrics based on structure, drape, texture and end-use suitability across different garment categories
- Translate fabric qualities into clear garment and product suggestions, influencing design decisions at an early stage
- Curate and build a seasonal woven fabric offering that balances fashion relevance with commercial viability
- Work closely with Designers and cross-functional teams to shape product direction through fabric-led judgement
- Liaise directly with mills and suppliers to identify suitable existing qualities, with occasional collaborative development where required
(Note: The focus of this role is sourcing and selection rather than large-scale fabric R&D.)
What We’re Looking For
- Strong fashion sensibility with a deep interest in woven fabrics and garment construction
- Ability to visualise silhouettes and product categories directly from fabric
- Experience in fabric-focused buying, sourcing or development, ideally within a fast fashion or high-volume environment
- Solid understanding of fibres, weaves, finishes and how they impact drape, structure and performance
- Commercial mindset with awareness of margin, price positioning and product strategy
- Confident communicator, comfortable working directly with suppliers and influencing cross-functional teams
Why Urban Revivo
- Be part of a growing international brand entering its next phase in the UK.
- Work in a creative yet fast-moving environment where your decisions directly influence the collection.
- Join a global team that values innovation, speed, and a strong point of view on fashion.
