ABOUT - Thomas Leruez

Thomas Leruez has been a key figure in the luxury industry for nearly 15 years. After starting his career at GIORGIO ARMANI, he established himself by advising a demanding international clientele. His training with Stefano Galli, the right-hand man to the creators of DOLCE & GABBANA, refined his expertise and sharp sense of style.

Building on these prestigious experiences, Thomas developed a loyal clientele as a PERSONAL STYLIST, including renowned actresses such as Monica Bellucci, Karine Viard, and Caterina Murino. In 2015, he realized his vision of luxury and elegance with the opening of the Montaigne Style shopping experience agency.

Under this impetus, he designs unique exceptional journeys at the heart of French know-how and craftsmanship for American companies and clients, notably by organizing events within the Métiers d’Arts of Maison CHANEL and the embroiderer LEMARIE, or even Place Vendôme for the iconic watchmaker JAEGER-LECOULTRE and the jeweler VAN CLEEFS.

With HOF Paris, he highlights his expertise and creativity as a content creator for emerging brands and fashion houses in the luxury sector.
