If anyone is interested in knowing how a person’s daily life is fashion editor? hmm… lemme thinkin… well pretty much the same. Yes. Like normal people usually – agree with Kelly Tandiono’s words when I asked how the daily life of a top model is, then the answer: “It’s normal. Like you guys too.” Well, the most I can say if I become a fashion editor it’s a really fun job! but please take a note: I’m a Digital Fashion Editorso not fashion editor a magazine that takes care of photo shootetc., all related to katern. Well Broadly speaking, my responsibility is more on how to create content fashion interesting digitally, then a lot of Google Analytics (so excited with all those numbers!), and the most important thing is to give review question fashion show.
Then… how is my daily life? Keep scrolling down, Bela.

I always start the day by praying… even I’m not a churchgoers, but starting something with spiritual calm is important, you know Bela! So always get in the habit of starting something by praying.

Then start looking at my schedule for today and some to-do list.

Both always have spirit which very youthful and they are among the people who inspire me creatively. My goal to ‘play’ into Danjyo Hiyoji’s studio itself is to see their preparations for the latest Danjyo collection. Exchange ideas, and laugh a lot when you meet Dana and Liza.

Someone once said, “enjoy your youth,” so…that’s what I do. I’ve always thought of this job as a ‘playground’. If you say busy, all work also has deadline. If you say it’s heavy, isn’t it company already warned you with statement“Can you work under pressure?“. So no matter how heavy your line of work, don’t forget to have fun. Whenever it is. Period.
