THE WORLD OF BEAUTY In order to break with its traditionally rigid image and extremely hierarchical organisation, the beauty sector is evolving. The selfie mega trend has profoundly impacted consumer behaviour, while make-up has replaced cosmetic care in the customers’ heart. New independent brands of the DNVB kind, are sending shockwaves across large companies – when they aren’t being bought for over a billion dollars by the latter. As for the holy influence, it has shifted from glossy magazines to beauty bloggers and other specialised youtubbers. The need to recruit fresh talent becomes more urgent every day, provided that they have been trained to deal with the new challenges confronting the sector. THE WORLDS OF LUXURY AND FASHION Historical fashion houses are experiencing a double-digit growth (Gucci, Hermès, Saint Laurent, etc). Large financial groups (Kering, LVMH) have become once again the big players of the stock markets; they are focusing their investments on digitalisation and recruiting a new generation of clients. Young entrepreneurs will not be overshadowed, as the most influential observers see Paris as the Silicon Valley of fashion. Acutely aware of the potential of this new generation, LVMH and Kering keep developing initiatives to discover and help the best among them. This is an exceptionally promising context for any young talent, provided that they receive appropriate training, tailored to the profound transformations experienced by the fashion sector. 4

INES DE LA FRESSANGE PATRON OF THE PARIS SCHOOL OF LUXURY Chanel muse, fashion and jewellery designer, perfumer, businesswoman and brand ambassador, Ines de la Fressange embodies Parisian luxury. “I wanted to join the Paris School of Luxury because it is a school that embodies the future of luxury. The luxury sector expresses itself because it is unique ; our students are just as unique and they possess strong beliefs. They reflect luxury and keep changing the beauty and fashion codes, reinventing them every day. They own this world now and are magnifying its influence. Our students will explore with us the new luxury domains. They will develop new creations and become unique talent who will stand out. The Paris School of Luxury carries the values of Paris in its name, in the manner of the great fashion houses such as Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent, among many other heritage brands. Paris lives and breathes luxury.” © Alessandra d’Urso ÉRIC BRIONES CO-FOUNDER OF THE PARIS SCHOOL OF LUXURY, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR OF THE JOURNAL DU LUXE, CURATOR OF THE SALON DU LUXE I have had the fortune to advise the most prestigious luxury, fashion and beauty brands for over 10 years, and to discuss their challenges in two books: La Génération Y et le luxe and Luxe & Digital. What struck me the most is their extraordinary desire for acceleration. An example? The creation in 2017 of the LVMH online shopping platform “24 Sèvres”, seemingly out of nowhere and just as successful as pure players such as Net à Porter, Farfetch and other Amazon-like sites. There is the same kind of acceleration in the beauty world, with the astounding results of the Estée Lauder group on the most complex target of the market, millennials, by snapping up the young gems “Becca Cosmetics” and “Too Faced”. The luxury, fashion and beauty sectors are equally addicted to acceleration and fresh talent; we must address this addiction. 11

AN IMMERSIVE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH 100% PROJECT-ORIENTED MASTER CLASS X JOURNAL DU LUXE Being aware of the fact that your school was established by professionals who contribute to the development of course programmes and set a global roadmap is one thing; to be able to meet them, ask them questions and become part of their networks is another matter. Each year, the school organises more than 20 masterclass lectures taught by experts in order to provide students with the opportunity to discover new luxury strategies and careers in fashion or the beauty business. Entrepreneurs, brand directors, sale managers, influencers and CEOs will succeed each other throughout the year. STUDY ABROAD The 1st and 3rd year of the B.A degree conclude with an immersive week in two flagship cities of luxury and fashion: London and Milan. As for the 2nd year, it culminates in a two-week visit to New York, where students will have a luxury, fashion and beauty experience 100% American! For those who wish to study abroad, the 3rd year offers the opportunity to study in the MediaSchool campus in London for the full school year. (cf. page 22). TAILOR-MADE Would it make sense to oblige a French-English bilingual student to take an English course? Similarly, does every fifth-year student need to develop the exact same skills? Taking into account the uniqueness of each student, our tailor-made pedagogical approach consists in assessing each profile, each talent, and to offer them, if necessary, an alternative proposal: to replace a course for an individual project, to let them develop their entrepreneurial project, to accept an internship exemption if they create their own business, a recommendation of certain seminars or courses to follow, etc. 16

THE AGENCY SCHOOL IMMERSIVE, 100% PROJECT-ORIENTED AND AIMED TOWARDS EMPLOYMENT CREATIVE WEEKS Hands-on learning! Once a month, our Creative Weeks immerse the students in the professional world through a creative business case study (always introduced by a luxury, fashion or beauty partner brand). In groups and competing against each other, you will have to create your own concept, communication strategy, packaging, new product launch, advertising or launching event, all in one week, before you present your ideas to the brand representative who set the challenge. SPRINT The school becomes an agency! You will have 2 weeks, or 2 intense SPRINTS, to solve a key challenge while immersed in a prestigious luxury, fashion or beauty brand. These SPRINTS also provide companies with an acceleration platform to understanding, harnessing and developing the new talents which millennials have to offer. A compulsory generational synergy takes place: a SPRINT team is composed of 90% Master’s students (1st and 2nd year) as well as 10% Bachelor’s students. FASHION WEEK PROJECT This 3rd year challenge fully embodies our project-oriented approach. After two years of fashion industry analysis, fashion culture, fashion sociology, fashion show culture and communication, students will now experience event planning in real life. Nothing better than a full-scale project to master the processes and challenges of event management. For this exercise, the fashion culture, fashion show culture and event management tutors will advise students aiming to develop an event open to the public. 19
