Dream Job Alert: EA to Fashion Creative Director

6 days ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom TALENTSMITHS Full time £65,000 - £70,000 per year

I'm the first to say that "dream jobs don't exist", and I'm also the first to admit when I may be wrong…

But here's the catch that'll break 95% of your hearts: You need fluent French.

Not "I can order croissants" French. Not "423-day Duolingo streak" French. Actual, sit-in-meetings-with-Parisians-and-hold-your-own French.

Still reading? Good. Because this role will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about being an EA.

I've placed EAs with tax partners, hedge fund managers, and CEOs who think 3am emails are perfectly reasonable. But a Creative Director at a rising fashion house? That's a different beast entirely.

This isn't Chanel. It's not part of some massive conglomerate where you're assistant number 47.

This is the vision of one Creative Director who's manifested a brand from nothing into something extraordinary. And it's growing. Fast.

Turnover? Doubling yearly.

Boutiques? Opening monthly.

The team? Expanding desperately.

Here's what "EA to a Creative Director" actually means:

You're not managing a calendar. You're choreographing controlled chaos.

Fashion week in Milan clashes with a boutique opening in Tokyo? You'll make it work.

The Creative Director needs to be at a party in Mayfair at 8pm after a photoshoot in Paris that afternoon? You'll find a way.

"Making everything 'just work' will be an art form," as one fashion EA told me. "Normal logic doesn't apply."

The London office is gorgeous. You'll be there 4 days when they're in town. But when they're travelling (which is often), you'll have flexibility. Late starts after they've been at events. Early departures when they're flying out. Remote days when they're out of town.

But let's be brutally honest about what "Full On" means:

Creative Directors don't work 9-5. They work when inspiration strikes, when opportunities arise, when the industry demands it.

You'll travel with them to specific events. Not because they can't handle their own luggage, but because having someone who truly understands the business on the ground is invaluable.

You must have proven experience in fashion or the wider creative industries. This isn't negotiable. I can't teach you how creative people think. You either get it, or you don't.

If you've only supported corporate executives who think "creative" means using a different PowerPoint template, this isn't for you.

But if you've been in the creative world, if you speak fluent French, if you understand that supporting visionaries requires being one yourself...

Then maybe, just maybe, this is your dream job.
