Fashion Consultant – Jacquemus, The Grove – Chalhoub Group

Chalhoub Group has spent over six decades as a partner and creator of luxury in the Middle East, and this Fashion Consultant role is based at the Jacquemus boutique within The Grove in Abu Dhabi — placing it at the sharp end of luxury fashion retail, representing a globally recognised, design-forward French fashion house to a discerning client base. Luxury fashion consulting is a different discipline from mass-market retail sales: the expectation is genuine styling expertise and a client relationship that extends well beyond a single transaction.

Day to day, the role covers providing an elevated, personalised shopping experience to Jacquemus clients, building real product and brand knowledge deep enough to style and advise confidently, maintaining the boutique’s visual and service standards to luxury brand expectations, and building the kind of client relationships that bring customers back by name rather than by chance. It’s a role where product passion and genuine fashion sensibility matter as much as sales technique.

It suits someone with luxury or premium fashion retail experience, genuine styling instinct, and the polish and client-relationship skill that a design-led brand like Jacquemus expects from the people representing it on the floor.

In luxury fashion retail, the consultant on the floor is effectively the brand in that moment -- clients spending at this level expect expertise, genuine styling advice, and a level of service that justifies the price point, which makes this role central to how Jacquemus is actually experienced by customers in Abu Dhabi, regardless of how strong the brand's global reputation might be. Chalhoub Group's six-decade position as a trusted partner for luxury brands in the region depends on consistently delivering that calibre of in-boutique experience across every brand in its portfolio, which makes strong consultant performance a protection of Chalhoub's broader relationships with the luxury houses it represents, not just this one boutique's sales. Building genuine, lasting client relationships also matters more in luxury retail than almost any other retail category, since repeat high-value clients are disproportionately important to a boutique's performance compared to one-time footfall. Strong consultant performance at The Grove also reinforces Abu Dhabi's positioning as a genuine luxury retail destination within the region.

Working as a Fashion Consultant for a globally recognised house like Jacquemus, under the Chalhoub Group umbrella, is a strong credential within the luxury retail sector, given Chalhoub's six-decade reputation as the region's leading luxury retail partner and the brand recognition Jacquemus itself carries internationally. Luxury retail experience of this kind builds a genuinely elevated skill set -- styling expertise, high-touch client relationship management, and polished service under real brand scrutiny -- that's highly valued across the broader luxury and premium retail sector, not just within this one boutique. Chalhoub Group's portfolio spans dozens of luxury fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, which gives strong-performing consultants genuine internal mobility to explore other brands or move into boutique management roles over time. For someone passionate about fashion and building a long-term career in luxury retail, few regional employers offer the brand breadth and training standards that Chalhoub provides, and this kind of client-facing role is a well-recognised route toward boutique management or luxury retail buying roles further down the line. It's also worth noting that experience representing a single, design-led house like Jacquemus closely tends to be viewed differently by future luxury employers than broader department-store style retail experience, since it demonstrates deeper brand fluency.
