US Events Manager (M/F)

"More than ten years ago, I dared to imagine the first French fashion brand to be born online... Les Composantes, which has since become Sézane. My priorities haven't changed since then: to innovate and to put people, creativity, quality, respect and service at the heart of everything we do." - Morgane Sézalory
