We have run the P&L. We build the tool.
Seven Hills Architecture grew out of ten years running e-commerce for fashion houses. We design the tools they lack — with the eye of a head of e-commerce and the rigour of an engineer.
The missing link
Fashion brands have two kinds of partners for their tools: technical agencies that don’t read a P&L, and consultancies that don’t build anything. In between, the most concrete needs — the collection workbook, the product feed to marketplaces, the data that doesn’t flow — go unanswered. Seven Hills Architecture sits exactly there: understanding the trade because we have practised it, and building the tool because we know how.
Vincent Hacquard
Founder · Seven Hills Architecture
Before founding the firm, Vincent ran e-commerce and digital for three fashion houses: P&L, marketplaces and department stores, catalogue, acquisition, e-commerce supply chain and teams. Before fashion, he started on the information-systems side, at AXA then Generali. That double background is what the firm is built on.
