00 — Freelance Fashion, Lifestyle, and Travel Writer | ELLE Online Columnist | Brand Writer
After winning a Dutch newspaper’s writing competition in 2005, I entered the field of fashion, lifestyle, and travel journalism. My writings have been published in print and digital magazines in The Netherlands and USA.
As a brand writer I wrote brand copy, press releases, web content, brochures, and ad copy for global fashion-, kids-wear-, retail-, and beauty brands, and advertising agencies in Dutch and English. I also was asked to conceptualize and create brand voices, and I wrote as a ghost writer for C-level executives.
Printed
A selection of my feature articles in fashion & lifestyle magazines. Topics included fashion history, new fashion collections, fashion designer profiles, interviews with authors and artists, human interest/psychology, and travel.
For the Dutch site of ELLE Magazine, I wrote a weekly column about my life in the Berliner fashion industry.
In the Media
As a fashion journalist and editor, I was featured in different digital magazines around the world.
I was also asked to be a judge in an international modeling contest.
By Priscilla Obermeier was my personal blog. It functioned as a place to write down vignettes from my city-life behind the scenes in the fashion industry and to share my adventures in parenthood as a mom of a then toddler.
