IFM Alumni Hosts the “Rencontres de Faverolles, Forum de la Mode” at the Domaine des Oseraies
The annual IFM Alumni event was held as usual at the Domaine des Oseraies in Faverolles, the home of Didier and Sylvie Grumbach. Attended by global leaders in fashion and luxury goods, the 2025 edition of the Rencontres de Faverolles took place this weekend and took on an international dimension this year thanks to its merger with the Forum de la Mode.
The programme features a series of talks, beginning with a conference on the theme of ‘Emerging in a changing world’ with fashion designers Jeanne Friot, Kevin Germanier, Emeric Tchatchoua (3.Paradis), Alain Paul (ALAINPAUL, IFM Labels 2025, ANDAM Special Prize) and Sarah Levy (ANDAM Accessories Prize), moderated by Pascal Morand (Executive President of the Fédération de la Haute Couture & de la Mode).
Another highlight of the event was a presentation about the challenges of international trade policy, moderated by François Chimits. It was followed by a panel discussion about leading a fashion brand in a complex geopolitical context, attended by Delphine Bellini, Myriam Serrano, Olivier Bron, Isabelle Allouch, respectively CEOs of Schiaparelli, Alaïa, Bloomingdale’s and Sandro, and moderated by Pierre-François Le Louët, co-president of the UFIMH and vice-president of IFM Alumni. And because art goes hand in hand with fashion, Emmanuel Perrotin gave a highly anticipated masterclass, moderated by Stéphane Wargnier.
Finally, guests were treated to an embroidery workshop led by Ecole Lesage, a visit by Ukrainian artist in residency Daria Koltsova and a DJ set by Inès Mélia.
