With the complete refurbishment of the second floor of the Paris luxury shopping mall Printemps, it was impossible not to include personalised shopping, the luxury service par excellence and which is in keeping with Printemps’ repositioning – at the heart of luxury.
Personalised shopping is becoming a more specialised service and taking its place in the brand new Fashion and Luxury second floor at Printemps de la Mode with a 100% fashion consultation service, a specially-dedicated helpdesk and three new, decidedly international experts in all that is luxury.
Emmanuel, Alma and Joyce have joined Dominique, Bertrand and the dozen other “shoppers” whose daily challenge is to perfectly meet the needs of Parisian and International clients who are nothing if they are not savvy.
‘Luxury everyday’ is Emmanuel Isaia’s philosophy. He has an MBA in luxury marketing and then had the important experience of working freelance in such houses as Céline, Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Givenchy, to name just a few; Emmanuel knows how to combine passion and work effectively. His in-depth knowledge of the sector is the essential skill that makes him an exceptional shopper, whatever the clients’ profiles and tastes. He speaks French, English, Spanish and Italian.
‘Festive and glamorous’ are Alma Ashirbekova’s watchwords. She learned everything she knows from her experiences with the most important luxury houses in Eastern Europe and China: Dolce & Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Galliano, Armani… Her specialty is Russian, Eastern European and Chinese clients; she speaks fluent French, English, Kazakh and Russian.
