OUR TALENTS

I’m a Color Technician at LVMH Fragrance Brands. Mymétier consists in giving color to our different makeup products once the formulation has been approved. I work from a color brief provided by the Creative Director, which could be photos, objects or even flowers they’ve brought back from their travels, and then I have to reproduce the color. I work with pigments that are shared by all LVMH Group Perfumes & Cosmetics Houses.

I became the head of the Chaumet workshop in 2017 after working as a jeweler for a number of years. My métier and my role is to support the team of jewelers that crafts the Maison’s extraordinary pieces. I receive the drawings of the pieces from the design studio and I prepare a cost estimate based on an assessment of the number of hours of work involved and the materials needed. Then I select the jeweler who will make the piece. This is a critical step because each of our artisans has their own sensibilities and know-how. Here, my job as manager is to put people at the heart of the process to ensure that the artisans find personal fulfillment, and that the entire team thrives. To make sure everyone progresses, I assign the most beautiful pieces to different artisans for each collection.
