THE RIQHT TIME

Once the right moment comes, you feel when to make the next step. That is what I always feel deep inside before a new challenge. Otherwise nothing can be achieved… And now it’s time for the IQ Beauté Magazine. After 20 years of many positive experiences in the field of beauty, magazines, television and fashion, and having at my side valuable partners, some of the best journalists, graphic designers, photographers, technicians and other specialists in this filed, the time has come for me to set a new goal. I want the IQ Beauté Magazine to become a successful and beloved beauty and fashion magazine for every woman but also every man who believes that beauty has intelligence!
