Job description

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.

Your position reports to the Head of Styling, and you are responsible for: defining, building, designing, leading, expressing, collaborating, implementing, and supporting the operational excellence and strategic priorities of the styling activity.

Your key missions are:

• Take ownership of priority operational projects as assigned by the Head, with rigor and attention to detail
• Oversee talent fittings in Paris, based on needs defined by the Head: events, try-ons
• Oversee the tracking of looks selected for campaigns (F&B, WFJ, Beauty) and film projects, in collaboration with relevant teams and as directed by the Head
• Manage budget tracking and purchase order processing, shipping, proactively flagging areas of concern, providing regular estimates
• Oversee the team’s preparation of key analyses and recaps (looks shot, reserved pieces, unworn deck) to support the Director’s decision-making
• 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

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Proven expertise in celebrity styling within a demanding fashion environment — strong knowledge of booking operations, fittings, and showroom coordination
• 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

• The independence of a creative House that places people at its center
• The dynamism of an environment that cultivates excellence while fostering the fulfillment of all
• Opportunities for advancement, growth, and diverse career paths within a House attentive to each individual’s uniqueness

The richness of our teams is born from each person’s uniqueness. CHANEL values diversity in all its forms and is committed to treating every application fairly.

During your first interview, we will inform you about the steps of the process.
