Fashion & Design

Textiles and clothing, luxury goods, accessories, leather goods, shoes, eyewear, jewellery, watches, costume jewellery, and beauty (perfumes & cosmetics)

The "Fashion & Design" field brings together a multitude of industries ranging from clothing to accessories, including beauty and watchmaking, not to mention the entire luxury industry. What do they have in common? They've embodied French know-how for several decades, represent the French Art de Vivre and contribute to France's international influence.

Today, Paris remains the undisputed capital of fashion, luxury and beauty. But to maintain this leadership, players in these sectors must accelerate their digitalisation across the entire value chain, and take CSR stakes into consideration in order to meet consumers' new expectations, in search of meaning and of products that respect the environment.
