Why You Will Be Excited About This Role

This is one of the most significant creative leadership opportunities in Australian luxury fashion. As Art Director of an iconic heritage House with a global retail and digital footprint, you will be responsible for the totality of the brand's visual world — across eCommerce, retail, campaign, editorial and international channels. This is not a role defined by one medium or one market. It is the custodianship of an entire creative identity.

This is a role for a creative leader of genuine distinction — someone whose career has been shaped by international luxury environments and who brings both an impeccable aesthetic sensibility and the strategic authority to translate a design house's vision into imagery that resonates across every channel, in every market, at the highest level.

•    Own the creative vision across the brand's full omnichannel network — retail, digital, campaign and international

•    A rare opportunity to bring a global luxury perspective to one of Australia's most enduring fashion houses

•    Work at the intersection of creative leadership and commercial impact, with direct access to senior brand leadership

Why You Will Like Working Here

This is a House built on four decades of elevated craftsmanship, refined silhouette and an unwavering commitment to beauty in every form. Now expanding globally, the brand is at a defining moment in its creative evolution — and this role exists to lead it. You will work alongside a passionate, talented leadership team that holds the work to an exceptionally high standard and understands that great art direction is not a support function — it is the brand itself.

•    A brand with the heritage, integrity and global ambition that draws serious creative leaders

•    The scope to shape and elevate the visual identity of a House across its entire global footprint

•    A culture defined by excellence, dedication and a deeply held respect for the craft of design

What You Will Be Working On

•    Set and lead the creative direction across all brand touchpoints — eCommerce, retail, campaign, editorial and international markets

•    Translate the design room's vision into imagery that is elevated, consistent and commercially powerful across every channel

•    Direct photographers, stylists, talent and production partners with authority and precision across complex, multi-format shoot environments

•    Oversee the full production cycle — from creative concepting and casting through to post-production and final delivery

•    Lead and develop an in-house creative team including stylist and production staff

•    Partner with Digital, Marketing, Retail and Product teams to ensure brand consistency and commercial impact across all channels

•    Continuously evolve brand guidelines, style guides and production processes to maintain the highest creative standards globally

What Type of Person Will Be Successful

You are a creative leader with an impeccable eye, a considered point of view and the authority to bring a room with you. Your career has taken you across international luxury or premium fashion environments — you understand how the world's great houses approach image-making and brand storytelling, and you bring that perspective and rigour to everything you do. You are equally fluent in creative vision and commercial reality, and you know how to hold both without compromise.

•    Significant art direction experience within luxury or premium fashion, with international experience essential

•    A portfolio that demonstrates elevated aesthetic vision, technical precision and confident creative leadership across multiple channels and markets

•    Proven experience directing complex, multi-format shoot productions across both digital and physical brand environments

•    Commercially astute — you understand how creative direction drives brand equity, conversion and global perception

•    A confident, collaborative leader who elevates the creative standards of every team and partner they work with

•    A deep reverence for craft, heritage and the discipline required to steward a luxury brand's visual identity globally

Backgrounds in Art Direction or Creative Direction within international luxury fashion, premium apparel or high-end editorial environments are all welcome.
