Back to original languageAbout Stephanie
With dual expertise (North America / Paris), I support Luxury Houses and international designers in their business development and operational excellence. My key asset? A sharp command of the Parisian ecosystem combined with native English, essential for selling to global buyers, retaining UHNW clients, and liaising with headquarters.
🎯 MY 3 AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
1. Showroom Management & B2B Development (Wholesale)
Showroom Management:Management of prestigious temporary showrooms (e.g., Intercontinental Paris Le Grand) during Fashion Weeks.
B2B Sales:Strategic presentation of collections to international buyers to expand global distribution networks.
Sales Representation:Direct interface between emerging designers and the market to maximize sales opportunities.
2. Retail Transition Management (Acting Store Manager)
Flagship Management:Full responsibility for the store (P&L, operations, multicultural team management) to ensure continuity.
Growth & Restructuring:Achieved +10.8% overall growth (Oscar de la Renta) and strategic relaunch of key departments (+276% in Bridal).
3. VIP & Brand Event Special Projects
Trunk Shows:Organization of exclusive sales events for HNW clients (e.g., €170K generated from a single event).
VIP "Couture" Orders:Technical coordination between UHNW clients and Ateliers (e.g., logistical management for Zendaya and Dan Levy at the Met Gala for Loewe).
Fashion Show Production:Logistical coordination (Backstage) and setup (Venue) for major fashion shows (Rick Owens, Oxford Fashion Studio).
My daily rate is adaptable based on the mission's nature (long-term management, showroom management, or one-off VIP mission). Let's discuss your project!
