Mallorie Moore

I chose the Global Luxury and Management MSc dual degree between North Carolina State University and SKEMA Business School because I wanted to build on my undergraduate degree in Fashion and Textile Management and focus specifically on the luxury industry. SKEMA’s strong global presence and reputation, as well as the unique synergy between SKEMA and NC State, both led to my decision to attend the Global Luxury and Management dual degree programme. Studying in France has allowed me the opportunity to experience luxury in a market rich in culture different than my own. SKEMA has provided me the opportunity to connect with industry experts and leaders who have opened my eyes to the opportunities in the three very diverse luxury sectors. Both inside and outside of the classroom, I am constantly immersed in the luxury industry making my experience more than meaningful. I’ve accepted a marketing internship in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA with Peter Millar, a leading luxury lifestyle apparel brand. Peter Millar was recently acquired by Richemont and is the first American brand to be acquired by the luxury goods holding company. The recent acquisition is going to open new doors for Peter Millar, especially in terms of a global presence, and I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting time for the brand.
