Visual Merchandising Coordinator

“I’ve had the joy of building Sézane alongside you - the first French fashion brand born online, rooted in quality, creativity, and intention.

To tell the story of Sézane is to retrace more than 20 years of defining adventures and bold decisions: choosing to do things differently, choosing people, choosing to act, and above all, choosing to trust in one’s convictions - even when that means rethinking what we thought we knew.

Sézane is more than a fashion brand. It’s a story of life - mine, yours, and all those who shape it every day.” Morgane Sézalory, Founder & CEO
