Eric Young,Owner Le Monde de SHC. Shanghai, China

How did you become a buyer?
When I was preparing for Le Monde de SHC in Shanghai, I had a feeling that I was about to enter a career that I had not tried before, such as building a team of buyers for LMDS and taking on a leadership role. But despite having no experience of being a buyer at the time, I soon found it was a job I could master. 
Even as a consumer, I had always been keenly observing designer brands. Ten years ago, I started working with several luxury fashion brands, providing consumer consulting for their key VICs in the Chinese market. The process of moving from personal consumption to large orders came quickly and without much thought, really.
