L’École Internationale de Mode & Luxe (EIDM) is pleased to announce the appointment of Aline Meynard as director of the Paris campus. With extensive experience at major fashion and luxury houses, Meynard will bring her strategic vision, keen management skills and passion for education to the school.

Expertise at the intersection of business, fashion and transformation

A seasoned professional in the luxury, fashion and lifestyle industry, Meynard has held management positions at major players such as Ralph Lauren, Balenciaga, AMI Paris, Roseanna, Carven and Maison Kitsuné. Her international career has taken her to Paris, Geneva, Milan, Lugano and London. This experience gives her a comprehensive understanding of the economic, cultural and sustainability issues currently redefining the industry.

Trio of skills for EIDM

What distinguishes Meynard and adds value to her appointment is based on three key areas:

Extensive knowledge of the fashion and luxury industry, gained from over 20 years with companies undergoing growth or transformation.

Recognised expertise in business management and strategic direction, particularly in supply chain, CSR and operational transformation.

A strong commitment to education, demonstrated through her ongoing involvement in training, leadership development and mentoring young talent.

Vision for the Paris campus

As head of the EIDM Paris campus, Meynard aims to strengthen the school's academic and international reputation. She will achieve this by promoting pedagogical innovation and the professional development of students. Meynard will also champion the ambition to make EIDM a centre for reflection and experimentation on new sustainable models in fashion.

“My experience and ambition enable me to align EIDM's courses with the real needs of the sector's professions and companies. It is a great responsibility to prepare this generation to find a job, often a passion, in an industry that is both resilient and undergoing profound change. Fashion and luxury are among the most polluting industries. Training today, therefore, also means learning to design differently. Education must integrate eco-design, responsible supply chains and new business models if we want to build a sustainable future for this sector.” — Aline Meynard
