From 2013 to 2016, Matthias Schatz served as Head of Design Licensing for Courrèges, overseeing the brand’s ready-to-wear collection in Japan.

Designed for women aged 40 and up, the collection blended elegance with effortless style, positioned within the contemporary market. Drawing from Courrèges’ established aesthetic, the designs incorporated thoughtful color choices, flattering fits, and premium fabrics. Commercial viability was a key consideration, ensuring the collection remained both aspirational and accessible. Leather goods were a defining element, complementing the collection’s sophisticated yet practical appeal.
