Reference information:
« Après l'obtention du BTS Design de mode en 2005 j'ai choisi d'intégrer une Année post BTS.
J'ai alors effectué un stage de 5 mois dans le service presse d'Issey Miyake à Paris, et un autre de 3 mois chez Vogue Hommes International et Sport & Style -rédaction commune aux deux magazines-.
Pendant quelques mois j'ai assisté des stylistes pour Vogue Italie, Vogue Japon, Vogue Chine... -Editions Conde Nast-, ainsi que des rédacteurs horlogerie pour le Figaro magazine.
Ensuite j'ai intégré le magazine Sport & Style -supplément mode du journal l'Equipe- en tant qu'assistante et rédactrice horlogerie, à mi-temps pendant 2 ans, tout en travaillant en freelance pour des publicités et catalogues. Depuis septembre 2008 je travaille pour le magazine Stiletto -presse et web-, je suis assistante mode masculine, joaillerie/horlogerie, et rédactrice accessoires homme.
