By creating the FASK association in 2019, its founders have given it the mission of federating all those involved in fashion in the broadest sense of the term (textiles, jewelry, leather goods, etc.), bringing together trades, raising awareness and sharing skills, to strengthen this ecosystem in Marseille and the Sud-PACA region, making it better (re)known and more supported.

On May 30, a further step was taken in this process of union: by entrusting its presidency to Jocelyn Meire, the UPMH (Union des Professionnels de la Mode et de l'Habillement) Provence-Côte d'Azurjoined the dynamic, offering the Faskienne galaxy a new gateway to the entire profession, in other regions and notably in Paris.

On June 23, 2022, this spirit of unity was recognized at the General Meeting of the Fédération Française du Prêt-à-Porter Féminin, which elected Jocelyn Meire to its Board of Directors.

This nomination rewards the remarkable work of all the members of the regional Mode ecosystem, and in particular that of the 130 members of FASK, and proves that the field of possibilities is widening every day.

By creating a new, very strong link between our local professionals and the national level, the entire industry is strengthened, further broadening the spectrum of a more supportive, more responsible and more globally connected sector.

" As founder and CEO of FASK, I was instrumental in creating FASK ACADEMY, the textile manufacturing production school. My new responsibilities at the helm of the UPMH are an opportunity for me to further federate the members of the fashion ecosystem in our region, and to raise the stakes of our industries even higher with private and public decision-makers.

It is on the strength of this work of structuring and uniting that I am today joining the national bodies, with the intention of fully representing the interests of our industry, in our territory. "

- Jocelyn Meire.

Jocelyn Meire has a very special relationship with the KEDGE alumni network. For many years, he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Euromed Management alumni association, where he also held the position of Deputy Chairman of the network alongside Richard Caillat, co-founder of the HighCo group.

When BEM and Euromed Management merged to form KEDGE Business School, Jocelyn Meire was also involved in the merger of the two alumni associations to create KEDGE Alumni.
