#Springboard to your career

Personally, the Master's in Luxury, Fashion and Sales Management at ISM helped me understand the luxury sectors of Kering, Richemont and LVMH much better. The practice-oriented lectures and case studies gave me unique insights into the working methods of these companies. Together with my semester abroad in Paris, this was the ideal springboard for my career in the luxury segment.
The knowledge of how luxury brands are managed helped me gain a foothold with LOREMO as a new, innovative art brand.
