Art Director

About the Role

Ladivine Collective is looking for a talented, hands-on Art Director to lead the creative vision across our portfolio of eveningwear and special occasion brands.

Based in Commerce, Los Angeles, Ladivine Collective is home to multiple fashion brands, each with its own distinct identity. We’re looking for someone with a strong visual eye who can understand and evolve these different brand worlds while maintaining a consistently elevated standard across everything we create.

This is a highly creative and hands-on role for someone who enjoys both big-picture thinking and getting into the details. You’ll lead and mentor a team of graphic designers while remaining actively involved in the work—from developing campaign concepts and directing photoshoots to reviewing retouching, catalogs, e-commerce imagery, social content, and digital assets.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about fashion and visual storytelling, has excellent taste and attention to detail, and feels comfortable balancing multiple projects and priorities in a creative environment.

Please include a portfolio link with your application that showcases your aesthetic, creative direction, and hands-on execution.

• Oversee and review photography, retouching, graphic design, catalogs, e-commerce imagery, digital marketing materials, video, and other creative assets.
• Provide clear, thoughtful, and detailed creative feedback to ensure all work meets a high visual standard and aligns with the appropriate brand identity.
• Review social media content and creative calendars to ensure consistency across platforms.
• Manage multiple projects, campaigns, and photoshoots simultaneously, balancing creative ambition with deadlines and business priorities.
• Collaborate closely with marketing, design, sales, and other internal teams to bring creative ideas to life.
• Maintain and evolve brand guidelines and visual standards across all customer touchpoints.
• Stay connected to fashion, culture, photography, design, retail, social media, and emerging digital trends, bringing fresh and relevant ideas to the team.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen and evolve the brands’ visual presence while staying connected to customer interests and current retail trends.
