Fashion Design and development

Lockwood Skate shop is a household name within the Belgian skate scene since 1996. Last year we launched our first full-blown Lockwood collection with a sharp vision on the future. This was our first step into expending the Lockwood universe into a brand with a focus on the Antwerp skate and fashion scene. We aim to be a skate-credible cross-over.

As our own brand is growing and we are still positioned within the multi-brand sector, a designer will work in both fields. There will be a wide variety of tasks which should be executed with a vision on contemporary aesthetics and trends.

Lockwood brand is seeking an intern with academic experience in fashion design and/or product development to work in our design studio. This team is led by our creative director who works together with an in-house graphic designer, you will be professionally guided under their supervision.
