Assistant Store Director

Job Description

Founded in 1961 by André and Coqueline Courrèges, the House revolutionised the worlds of fashion and design. Embodying a spirit of boldness and optimism, and resolutely forward-looking, Courrèges has continuously broken new ground across every field it has explored.

\n

Today, the revival of this iconic House is driven by a clear mission: to offer innovative and modern creations while building on its exceptional heritage and distinctive codes.

\n

Building on the extraordinary legacy of the brand, the company was acquired in 2018 by ARTEMIS, the Pinault family’s investment company. Following five years of renewal under the artistic direction of Nicolas Di Felice, a new chapter began with the appointment of Marie Leblanc as CEO at the end of 2024, followed by Drew Henry as Artistic Director in May 2026.

\n

Together, they are continuing to strengthen the influence of this legendary House while bringing fresh momentum to its growth, both in terms of brand awareness and business development, in France and internationally.
