Editorial Apprentices

An editorial apprenticeship with LIGNES DE FUITE is the ideal path for young creatives interested in careers in fashion media, a diverse and ever-expanding field.



LIGNES DE FUITE editors' apprenticeship program aims to provide a space for learning through practice in a fun, fashion-focused, and creative environment. Led by LIGNES DE FUITE founder Milan Tanedjikov, this trade-based program offers numerous opportunities to build your writer's portfolio through publishing different types of texts while helping you to acquire the necessary skills to become an innovative, responsible, and informed editor.


Your development process is divided into 3 project-based modules that allow for experimentation and self-refining through exercises, assignments, readings, workshopping and plenty of constructive feedback. During the final module, you will gain first-hand experience editing and proofreading LIGNES DE FUITE Vol.4's annual print publication, while finding your voice and taking the first steps toward creating compelling fiction.


This apprenticeship opportunity is limited to only 3 hard-working, ambitious, and very motivated individuals who already exhibit a high level of writing skills that distinguish them from their peers. Let us know, before the end of the year, why you're interested by an Instagram DM or by email ( milan.tanedjikov@gmail.com ). After this initial contact, an in-person or online interview will be scheduled to ensure you are a good fit for the program and to learn more about us.
