Testimony
Laurane EXILIE
Digital Communication Assistant - LVMH - promotion 2022
Thanks to business tours we had the chance to get a first foot in the field of luxury and to establish contact with people from several areas of the luxury world. This was an opportunity to see the knowledge passed on by Faculty members to us during the various courses applied in real life.
Whether through the visit to Cognac, Champagne, Deauville or Antwerp, we had the great chance to meet professionals who shared their passion for their profession with us.
I am truly convinced that these business trips have an important place in this Master in order to better understand how the luxury industry really works. Thus, we have been able to see that luxury is not only linked to fashion but is also found in other universes such as spirits or jewelry for instance.
On the social side, these business trips were an opportunity for us students to meet outside school and get to know each other better. It is undeniable that these trips allowed us to create real relationships, to be much more united and to create unforgettable memories.
