French association for luxury brands searches for talent at Parisian school ENSAAMA

A group of 26 MA students from two courses in ‘Design Strategies’ and ‘Economy and Production of Cultural Products’ from the Parisian-based École nationale supérieure des arts appliqués et des métiers (ENSAAMA) were given the chance to deliver a pitch for a number of French luxury executives on Thursday. Amongst these executives were Françoise Montenay, who is part of Chanel’s supervisory board and Hermès International’s managing director Guillaume de Seynes. The event is part of a partnership that exists between ENSAAMA and the French luxury brand association Comité Colbert. The students had to base their pitch on briefs from six French luxury brands, ranging from Chanel and Christian Dior Couture to luxury home linen brand Yves Delorme.
