Since 2012, renowned designer Nicolas Le Moigne has led the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship at ECAL.
This program aims to equip students with the skills to engage with sectors of excellence as diverse as fine watchmaking, fashion, cosmetics, gastronomy, and technology. Through close collaborations with prestigious companies and heritage-rich Maisons, as well as visits to manufacturing sites and meetings with key figures in the international design scene, students have the unique opportunity to confront the realities and challenges of the luxury industry.
A captivating luncheon and an immersive dive into the challenges of design in the service of the world’s most prestigious Maisons.
What a pleasure to welcome Nicolas Le Moigne to discuss design in the service of the aspirations of Luxury and Craftsmanship, both today and in the future. This is precisely the focus of the Master’s program he leads at the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne. An aesthetic and avant-garde journey he invites us on—an event not to be missed!”— Béril Gurdogan

Our outing to Aix-en-Provence on October 5th is approaching and becoming more defined. At Catherine STARKMAN’s, we will discover a pure form of pictorial art, characterized by a profound exploration of color and texture, which has taken her from Paris to New York, where she spent nearly 20 years.
With BONNARD, one of the great pioneers of modernity, we will explore his elective affinities with Japan and the “images of the floating world.” Thanks to several connections through Delphine Cussac, we have chosen Mado, a cozy bistro-style restaurant, very popular with the locals in Aix.
We are delighted to invite you to our next Féminin Pluriel Montpellier meeting.
Marie-Anne Clair, Technical and Digital Director of CNES (National Centre for Space Studies), will be our guest.
Marie-Anne Clair:
Completely dedicated to space, Marie-Anne Clair’s professional journey has taken place within CNES since 1983, covering a wide range of topics, from research offices to management positions, including responsibilities as a project manager.
She has been heavily involved in numerous scientific missions, notably the Integral gamma-ray observatory, and was responsible for the Myriade program.
She oversaw stratospheric balloon activities and contributed to the development of the Ariane 6 dossier in 2014.
From 2017 to 2019, she created the Orbital Systems Directorate at CNES, leading key missions in Martian exploration, including the ultra-sensitive SEIS seismometer and SuperCam, the main instrument of the Perseverance rover that landed on Mars on February 18, 2021.
She served as the Director of the Guiana Space Centre from 2019 to 2023. During these four years, major renovation projects for the CSG were launched, focusing on operations, digitalization, greening the energy of the space base, opening up to new launch operators, and improving competitiveness and working methods.
She has been the Technical and Digital Director of CNES since December 1, 2023.
Born in 1969, Delphine quickly realized that she didn’t understand the world she was living in—a world where inequalities were widely accepted and normalized. She became determined to make sense of what she observed and sensed around her. As a teenager, both rebellious and studious, she turned to psychology to find meaning in human behaviors and the unconscious forces driving them. After earning her degree from Psychoprat’, she spent a year in the USA exploring another societal model, which turned out to be not so different after all. However, it was in West Africa that she found the new perspective she sought, along with a husband with whom she would spend nearly 15 years working in humanitarian aid.
In 2009, following a divorce and with her son in tow, Delphine returned to France and started from scratch. She pursued a master’s degree in work psychology and human resources, eventually embarking on a career as an HR consultant. By 2018, she had set up her own practice as an HR facilitator. Alongside her work, aware of the need to integrate all three centers of intelligence—mental, emotional, and physical—she continued exploring fields like psychobiology, transgenerational psychology, neuroscience, animal communication, nonviolent communication, and more recently, the Enneagram.
Delphine invites you to discover this powerful tool for understanding the human psyche at her workshop, which will be held at her home at the Pranzac Mill.
In 1988, along with Professor Alain Deloche, he established La Chaîne de l’Espoir, an organization dedicated to providing the best medical care to the poorest children.
