Three missions at the heart of Mode des EPV

The Fashion and Beauty Réseau Excellence is structured around three strong axes:

  • Federate EPV companies of fashion and beauty and strengthen their links with major luxury houses and brands
  • Accompany companies on key issues in the sector: CSR, artificial intelligence, transfer of know-how and training
  • Radiate through dedicated events, an enhanced presence on international fairs and Fashion Weeks

On this occasion, Tristan De Witte recalled the ambition of the Réseau Excellence:

  • "The Fashion and Beauty of Réseau Excellence symbolizes our commitment to the preservation, recognition and revitalization of our craft and industrial heritage. Through this new platform, we are committed to opening doors, building bridges and fostering enriching exchanges between exceptional know-how holders and key influencers in fashion and luxury. What to do is to make French living heritage shine out and inspire future generations to pursue the quest for excellence. »
