Client Description
About the role – Headhunter’s note:
We are partnering with a fast-scaling, global fashion retailer to find a visionary Global Visual Creative Director. This is a rare executive-level role based in London, owning the entire visual identity of a brand expanding rapidly across Europe, the US, and Asia.
If you have led world-class campaign and brand creative at scale – think high-street to premium fashion – and want to build something iconic on a global stage, let’s talk!
Company overview
A leading global fashion retailer known for fast-paced, design-led, and trend-responsive collections.
Over 400 stores worldwide, plus a fast-growing e-commerce presence.
Headquartered in Asia but increasingly London-centric for creative and brand leadership.
Backed by significant investment in brand elevation – currently transforming from regional powerhouse to a truly global fashion name.
Culture: high creative ambition, commercially smart, fast decision-making, and international collaboration.
Role Description
What you’ll lead:
Define and execute the global visual creative strategy – including seasonal campaigns, lookbooks, digital assets, social content, retail VM, and space design.
Lead the creative direction of all major brand moments (season launches, collaborations, festive campaigns, key openings).
Build and manage an in-house creative team (art direction, graphic design, photography, casting) plus external networks (photographers, stylists, agencies, production).
Partner with product, marketing, and retail teams to ensure creative output aligns with commercial calendars and regional nuances (Europe, US, APAC).
Drive creative excellence – consistently benchmarking against top-tier international fashion brands.
Key Responsibilities
This role is for you if:
You’ve held senior creative roles at scale – think global fashion retailers or flagship creative agencies serving fashion clients.
You know how to balance uncompromising creativity with commercial reality.
You can move seamlessly between London, European, and Asian creative cultures.
You want to help build a future iconic global fashion brand – not just maintain status quo.
Requirements
What you bring:
10+ years in fashion/apparel retail visual creative roles, with at least 5 years at Creative Director or Global Head level.
Proven experience leading global campaigns and visual systems for a multinational fashion brand (high-street, contemporary, or premium).
A world-class portfolio showing campaign, lookbook, social, and digital asset work.
Strong track record of managing cross-cultural creative teams and external production partners.
Fluent business English (Mandarin is a strong plus but not essential).
Based in London.
