Creative Director
Descrizione dell'offerta
About Silenti
Silenti is a contemporary fashion brand built on the intersection of precision, silence, and form. We design garments that speak without noise — where every silhouette, material choice, and construction detail carries deliberate intention. We are a small, high-conviction team building something with longevity at its core.
The Role
We are looking for a Creative Director to lead the aesthetic and conceptual vision of Silenti across collections, brand identity, and all creative output. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will set the seasonal direction, oversee the design-to-sample pipeline, and ensure coherence across every touchpoint, from the first sketch to the final lookbook.
You will work closely with the founders and cross-functional teams including technical product development, procurement, and production.
What You'll Own
Collection Direction
- Define seasonal briefs: concept, mood, silhouette language, color palette, fabric story
- Lead the creative team through all 20 steps of the product development process — from concept to campionario approval
- Chair both Gate 1 (collection review) and Gate 2 (sample approval) with the founders
Design Execution
- Oversee and contribute to 2D design, CLO 3D prototyping, and tech pack review
- Ensure design intent survives through to final garment — maintaining creative quality through modelling, construction, and production phases
- Collaborate with modellisti and technical product developers on fit, finish, and execution
Brand Identity
- Own the visual identity of Silenti across campaigns, editorial content, packaging, and digital
- Art direct lookbooks, campaign shoots, and all brand imagery
- Build and maintain a consistent design language that evolves without diluting
Team & Process
- Build and mentor a small design team (currently a lean structure)
- Contribute to ongoing improvements to Silenti Studio, our internal product development platform
- Work directly with procurement on fabric sourcing, supplier relationships, and material innovation
What We're Looking For
Experience
- 7+ years in fashion design or creative roles, with at least 2 years at creative director level or equivalent
- Deep knowledge of garment construction, pattern-making principles, and the sample development process
- Experience working with Italian or European manufacturing and suppliers is a strong plus
- Fluency in CLO 3D or similar 3D design tools is preferred
Who You Are
- You have a strong, defined point of view — you're not a follower of trends, you're a translator of culture into form
- You're as comfortable on the floor of an atelier as you are in a creative review
- You move with rigor and restraint — you know that what you remove is as important as what you add
- You can hold a long-term vision while managing short-term collection cycles
- You communicate clearly with both creative and operational stakeholders
What We Offer
- A founding-level creative role with direct influence on the brand's trajectory
- Full creative ownership — this is not an execution role
- A lean, fast-moving team that trusts its people
- Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience
