CDI - Styling Manager CHANEL Mode (H/F/X)

Permanent contract, based in Paris (1st arrondissement), available as soon as possible.

FASHION DIVISION

Fashion is the brand’s original activity. Two Haute Couture collections, six Ready-to-Wear collections, and two capsule collections inspired by sportswear and lifestyle – Coco Beach and Coco Neige – offer a style that captures the spirit of the times and fits seamlessly into women’s daily lives. A dynamic silhouette and accessories are essential elements of CHANEL’s allure and the brand’s timeless codes, instantly recognizable, imagined by Gabrielle Chanel and now interpreted by Matthieu Blazy.

WHAT IMPACT YOU CREATE AT CHANEL

Within the Fashion department, you will join the Styling team, whose mission is to elevate and coordinate all styling operations and projects for CHANEL Fashion.

• Be able to represent the Head of Styling during travel when needed, ensuring continuity and quality across styling projects

• Be the point of contact of a selection of regions and markets for styling needs. Selection TBD

• In support of the Head of Styling, guide team members (booking coordination, fitting schedules, temporary showroom management) in a collaborative and constructive dynamic

• Ensure smooth information flow across all stakeholders: showroom, press, Relations & Activation, WFJ, Haute Couture, studio

• Structure coordination processes ahead of key moments (shows, major events, campaigns) to anticipate rather than react

• Ensure rigorous upkeep of tracking tools: dressing calendar, celebrity database, collection recaps

• Contribute to the development and sharing of styling guidelines and best practices across markets

• Participate in overseeing collection buyings for key markets, in support of the Head

• Maintain a watch on emerging stylists (“stylists to watch”) and keep reference decks up to date

• Strong experience, ideally with exposure to international markets and a complex ecosystem

• Strong organizational skills and ability to create structure in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment

• Mature, discreet, confident, and humble posture — able to serve as a trusted deputy without overstepping

• Product sensitivity and deep understanding of Chanel culture

• Fluent in French and English

WHAT ENERGIZE YOU & WHAT CHANEL CAN OFFER YOU
