Creative Director

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
