Fanny Moizant, co-founder and president of the French luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective, has left the company. Her departure is described as part of “recent organisational changes” and was not a decision initiated by Moizant herself.
In a post shared on LinkedIn, Moizant stated: “As part of recent organisational changes, I am leaving the company. This was not a decision I initiated, nor one I expected, but I accept that it marks the end of an extraordinary chapter.”
Moizant’s departure comes at a pivotal moment for the global resale market, which is expected to grow rapidly over the next decade. According to a joint report released in November 2025 by BCG and Vestiaire Collective, the secondhand and luxury resale market is projected to reach $360 billion by 2030, growing at a faster pace than the primary retail market. Resale is already becoming a mainstream choice in consumer purchasing behavior.
Sixteen Years Leading the Company from Launch to Global Expansion
Fanny Moizant co-founded Vestiaire Collective in 2009 alongside Sophie Hersan and Sébastien Fabre, with a vision to transform the very structure of the fashion industry through second-hand luxury.
Founded in Paris, the company subsequently expanded across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Today, it operates in more than 70 countries and has grown into one of the world’s leading luxury resale platforms, offering millions of items to a global community of users.
Reflecting on her 16-year journey, Moizant wrote: “For 16 years, I woke up every day proud to do this work. It was never just a job. It was a calling, a cause, a fierce belief that circularity matters — for the planet, for future generations, for the industry itself.”
Vestiaire Collective has positioned circular fashion at the core of its corporate philosophy. In 2021, the company achieved B Corp certification and implemented initiatives that foreground environmental responsibility, including the removal of certain fast-fashion brands from its platform. In its 2025 Impact Report, Vestiaire Collective also disclosed carbon-related initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact through resale.
Departure Amid a Leadership Transition
The departure comes as the company is in the midst of a management structure transition. In October 2025, Bernard Osta, the former Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Chief Executive Officer, while Maximilian Bittner, who had led the company for seven years, stepped down. At the time, the board described the leadership change as the beginning of “a new chapter.”
Under its new leadership, Vestiaire Collective is focusing on strengthening investment in technology and accelerating global expansion. In particular, the company is advancing authentication capabilities and expanding its menswear category, with men’s resale currently regarded as one of its fastest-growing segments.
At the same time, competition in the luxury resale market is intensifying. Amid the proliferation of diverse business models—including large-scale platforms such as Vinted—the industry as a whole faces the shared challenge of balancing mission-driven circular strategies with profitability and operational efficiency.
A Message to Teams and the Community
Moizant also expressed gratitude to those who have shaped Vestiaire Collective’s journey: “I want to thank the many people I’ve crossed paths with along the way — team mates, partners, creators, and activists — and especially those I had the honour of working with inside Vestiaire. You’ve always been its beating pulse — I trust you to carry its values forward with conviction and integrity.”
While Moizant has not disclosed her next move, she made clear that her commitment to impact-driven work in fashion remains unchanged: “I don’t know exactly what comes next yet, but I move forward with energy, resilience, and fire in my belly. There’s more to build. More impact to create. Stay tuned — the next story begins soon..”
