Fashion journalist, Jessica Michault, will be starting as the fashion columnist for Elite Traveler magazine found aboard private jets and mega-yachts.Michault covers the industry for the International Herald Tribune, based in Paris. She will serve as a Contributing Editor for Elite Traveler.

“Jessica will bring unparalleled expertise and fashion industry insight to our more than 400,000 readers,” said Laura Q. Hughes, Editorial Director of Elite Traveler.

“Jessica’s knowledge of what’s new, important and hot on the fashion front, combined with a visually beautiful page design and Elite Traveler’s luxuriously oversized format, will make the new Fashion Column an immediate must-read for elite travelers,” Hughes said.

In each issue of Elite Traveler, Michault’s column will highlight a key fashion trend for the season ahead and include such details as top looks from the ready-to-wear or haute couture runways, luxury boutique shopping tips and opinions from the most revered designers today.

In keeping with Elite Traveler’s award-winning style and format, the column will provide readers with pictures of the fashions discussed and easy-to-use information on where all items can by purchased.

“Fashion is an integral part of our readers’ lives—on average, the Elite Traveler reader spends over $100,000 per year on fashion alone,” Hughes said.
