Fabric Development Assistant Intern - Fashion

Internship based in Paris, Fashion division, starting in March 2027

Fashion is the Brand’s original activity. Two Haute Couture collections, six Ready-to-Wear collections, and two capsule collections inspired by sportswear and lifestyle, Coco Beach and Coco Neige, offer a style that captures the spirit of the times while fitting seamlessly into women’s everyday lives.
