Discover the #DreamInDior Experience in Footwear Products with Binta Mané
At Dior, we value and empower our teams to thrive.
Meet Binta Mané, Footwear Product Manager Assistant at Christian Dior Couture and discover the behind-the-scenes of her #DreamInDior experience.
What does #DreamInDior mean for you?
For me, as an Assistant Product Manager in the shoes department at Dior, #DreamInDior represents the opportunity to be part of a legendary luxury brand that has always inspired Dreams with its heritage and excellence. This hashtag embodies the aspiration for creativity, innovation, and excellence in fashion, while also reflecting a deep passion for a craft where the limits of design are constantly pushed.
What amazes you the most in your work?
I am fascinated by the balance between creativity and business strategy. Seeing how each shoe is a piece of art and also a product that needs to align with market trends, customer needs, and the overall brand identity is an incredible learning experience. Being part of a team that bridges these two worlds while upholding the legacy and innovation of Dior is what amazes me every day in my work.
How does Dior help you grow on a daily basis?
The brand helps me grow on a daily basis by offering a hands-on learning environment where I can actively participate in various stages of product development. Working alongside seasoned professionals, I’m constantly exposed to new skills, from understanding the intricacies of the luxury market to learning about materials, production processes, and consumer behavior.
Who do you rely on when you face challenges and why?
When I face challenges, I rely primarily on my team, my managers Alexandre PETITDIDIER, Gautier VOYER and my co-intern Matteo GODINHO. The expertise and experience of my colleagues are invaluable, as they offer guidance and support whenever I encounter difficulties. They provide me with insights that help me see challenges from different perspectives, allowing me to find effective solutions. I also rely on cross-departmental collaboration, as working closely with teams in development, and retail often brings fresh ideas and solutions to complex problems. This collaborative spirit at Dior ensures that challenges are approached with creativity and precision, which helps me grow and learn from each situation.
The new recruitment campaign to join the House of Dior as an intern or apprentice is open.
