The Institut Superieur de Marketing du Luxe, also known as Sup de Luxe, is an institute that provides luxury management programs from bachelor's to MBAs. Sup de Luxe is part of the EDC Paris Business School. The institute is a "chair Cartier" and was created by professionals working in the luxury goods sector. The institute's goal is to prepare graduates for employment and careers in the luxury sector. Since its creation in 1990, more than 3,000 international students have graduated.[1]

History

[edit]
The institute was created in collaboration by Cartier.

The Institut Supérieur de Marketing du Luxe was founded by Alain-Dominique Perrin, in collaboration with Cartier in 1990. By creating the Institut Supérieur de Marketing du Luxe, Cartier first trained a large number of its managers and then offered other brands creative profiles with the values of the sector.

Sup de luxe was the first educational institute in France specialising in the luxury management. The absence of luxury management schools is what gave Perrin his initial idea of founding the institute. Its initial aim was to produce young managers and experts in the luxury field and to stimulate research into luxury on a global scale.[2]

Sup de luxe is a subdivision of the school mayor EDC Paris Business School acquired by the Planeta group in 2017.[3] Sup de Luxe is not recognized as a business school. As a result, an RNCP title diploma is issued in agreement with the ministry.[4]

Rankings

In 2022, Sup de Luxe was ranked only 4th on 25 in Luxury Management programs in France.[5] The MSc-Master of Science Global Luxury Brand Management is ranked 19 on 24 in France.[6] According to Eduniversal Best Masters Ranking, in 2013-2014 the Luxury Brand Marketing and International Management MBA of the Institut Supérieur de Marketing du Luxe was ranked number 9 in the world for Masters in the sectors of luxury management and fashion.[7]

He still remains a member of the supervisory board of Cartier.

Michel Guten became President of "Sup de Luxe" in 1990, a course designed as a postgraduate specialization for young professionals.
