Starting as Fashion Assistant, I was promoted after 18 months to Style Editor. Responsible for pitching ideas, writing, editing and commissioning journalists including Sarah Mower and Alexandra Shulman for The Daily Telegraph, I oversaw the entire creative and production processes for the Style section.
I was also Contributing Editor to ST, the paper’s bi-annual luxury fashion magazine, wrote news and opinion pieces for the website and paper, and co-hosted presentations with the Commercial team for beauty advertisers, including L'Oréal.
This role instilled the importance of chasing new stories and finding fresh angles in the familiar; writing and editing through the eyes of the audience; how images and words always go hand-in-hand; and maintaining standards even under the tightest of deadlines – foundations that still shape the way I work to this day.
