Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Freelance in Purchasing, Production, and Merchandising, specializing in Made in France and Italy manufacturing (custom and finished products).

My added value: Passionate about Ready-to-Wear and with a strong appetite for data, I connect merchandising to production. Beyond analysis, I also manage development and manufacturing (sourcing, refinement and standardization, technical sheets, workshop monitoring, quality control). This comprehensive approach allows me to optimize production by intelligently managing reorders, adjusting volumes to actual performance, and ensuring reliable costs and deadlines.

Educated in business school and fashion design, I have worked for Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Cecilie Bahnsen, and De Bonne Facture.

Available for merchandising, strategic analysis, collection structuring, production management, and reporting automation missions.
