Patricia Turck-Paquelier: “She was a role model for all of us at L’Oréal” |
FRANCE. The L’Oréal Group has announced the sad passing of Patricia Turck-Paquelier, Managing Director of International Prestige and Collections within the Luxury Division.
In a press release announcing her death, L’Oréal said: “Patricia joined the group in 1996 and since then her extraordinary commitment and her great talent have had an enormous influence on the success of the history of the Luxury Division of L’Oréal.
“Her visionary ideas of luxury and her entrepreneurial spirit allowed her to push back creative frontiers as well as to identify the brand potential of Viktor & Rolf, Diesel or Martin Margiela, with whom she built particularly privileged ties. Also, thanks to her tremendous relationship with Giorgio Armani, the brand has become one of the premium luxury beauty brands on the planet.
“Alongside these designer brands, Patricia managed to integrate the Helena Rubinstein and Biotherm brands as integral and dynamic parts of the International Prestige & Collections department, which she had been leading since 2000.
Describing her role as an inspiration to the company, the statement continued: “Patricia never ceased to transmit to a whole generation of young talent, her immense know-how of luxury. She will be sorely missed as she was a role model for all of us at L’Oréal and in particular for the women in the group who admired her ability to successfully combine and achieve a perfect balance between professional success and family life.”
