“We are thrilled to continue our work with Tan France to inspire confidence through fashion and grow our Styling Community. Tan has a deep understanding of our brand purpose and is able to bring it to life by tapping into his own sense of style and unique personal experiences,” said Sara Tervo, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Express.

Launched in July 2021, the Style Editor program offers fashion enthusiasts a way to style, inspire and earn commission on a special collection of seasonal assortments. France succeeds fashion authority, Rachel Zoe, who was the brand’s first Lead Stylist and will continue her relationship with Express in a new capacity, which is to be announced later this year.

“I am so excited to continue my work with Express as their new Lead Stylist. The Style Editor program has changed the game and gives aspiring stylists and content creators the tools to build relationships, network and be a part of an amazing styling community,” said Tan France. “I am honored to work with Express to build their styling community and support their larger brand purpose of building confidence through fashion.”

France will share his fashion expertise in social content on his platforms, the brand’s owned channels and paid media to help inspire and guide the entire Express Styling Community inclusive of Style Editors and store associates. To further expand the program and inspire career growth, France will mentor Style Editors and encourage aspiring stylists to apply to the program at brand events throughout the year.

To support the brand’s ongoing partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the largest national youth mentoring organization, France has also led the ‘Dream Big, Dress Accordingly Styling Series,’ a collaborative series that helps ‘Littles’ get dressed for success. Serving as the Dream Big Project Ambassador, France works closely with ‘Littles’ in personalized styling content featured across the brand’s YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels, as well as his personal social platforms.
