Fashion career profile

Séverine Merle

Séverine Merle is the Chief Executive Officer of CELINE. Her public profile describes a three-decade career within LVMH culminating in leadership of the Paris house, where she works alongside Creative Director Michael Rider. The directory presents those two roles with different scopes: Merle is the executive lead for the company, while Rider is responsible for creative direction. This separation also keeps historic designer tenures, including Phoebe Philo and Hedi Slimane, legible rather than merging them into an undifferentiated company history. CELINE is an LVMH maison, so parent-group financial disclosures are not labelled as CELINE-only performance. The profile focuses on the current professional mandate and the evidence available from LVMH, without inventing education, personal history or responsibilities beyond publicly established company leadership.
