Creative Director

About the Role

As Creative Director you own how Suspicious Antwerp shows up in the world. You turn our CEOs vision into a clear creative direction and carry it through everything we put out: the concepts the visuals the feed the campaigns. You decide what we say how we look and how it feels and you keep that one recognizable aesthetic consistent wherever people meet the brand. That could be an event with a partner the way our stores and showroom are dressed or the content we drop that day. Social is where it all comes together because thats where everything happens for us so thats where you push hardest.

You know our market. You read whats happening in fashion and streetwear you feel whos doing what and where its heading and you turn that into work that keeps us ahead of it. You have a real eye for aesthetics and you know fashion you dont just follow the culture you set the tone.

This is a hands-on leadership role not a sit-back-and-delegate one. You set the creative bar and lead the team that hits it but on the days that matter youre in it yourself: shaping concepts shooting editing writing. You think in strategy and you build with your hands and youre the link between where the brand wants to go and what people actually see.
