7 reasons to entrust your Fashion & Luxury recruitment to our agency

01.

In-depth knowledge of luxury house practices

Luxury houses, premium ready-to-wear brands and independent labels: each organisation has its own brand identity and recruitment standards. From the first discussion with your teams, our consultants tailor their approach to your positioning.

02.

Targeted sourcing of scarce creative profiles

Creative Directors, Collection Managers and experts in artisanal craftsmanship are sought after by luxury houses across the market and are rarely available through open channels. Our direct search approach enables us to identify them, even when they are not actively looking for a new role.

03.

A pool of qualified industry professionals

Our candidate database spans the sector's entire value chain: creation and design, product development, manufacturing, retail and marketing. This coverage enables us to quickly introduce professionals who already understand the exacting standards and craftsmanship expected in fashion and luxury.

04.

Consultants fluent in the sector's technical vocabulary

Distinguishing a Creative Director from a Head of Design, an Industrialisation Manager from a Design Office Manager, or a Merchandising Director from an Operations Director requires precision. This expertise prevents recruitment mismatches and reassures candidates who expect to speak with people who understand their profession.

05.

Ongoing engagement with talent across the sector

Digital transformation, new consumer behaviours and growing CSR expectations: we monitor these developments closely and maintain regular contact with industry experts, even when they are not actively seeking a new role. This proximity enables us to engage qualified professionals quickly when the need arises.

06.

Insight into the talent pressures affecting each type of organisation

Established luxury houses, growing ready-to-wear brands and independent labels: recruitment needs and salary levels vary considerably depending on brand positioning and recognition. Our international network enables us to compare these practices and advise clients on their employer positioning.

07.

Job advert formats tailored to creative professionals

For highly creative roles such as design or creative direction, the way the position and brand universe are presented makes all the difference. We use a range of job advert formats, including video, to showcase your identity and inspire expert candidates to join you.
