Limité Magazine is an academic journal dedicated to capturing the echelon of modern world culture - elevating the unique and inspiring in fashion, design, travel, the arts, and pure expression. Fueled by a desire to serve as the voice uniting cultures from around the globe, Limité celebrates diversity, creativity, and the modern lifestyle of today’s man and woman.

Whether derived from the styled catwalks of Milan or the graffitied streets of Brooklyn, it is the select works that alter the way we see our world that become Limité features. The men and women who are the tastemakers, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and determined underdogs all contribute to the living trans-world culture that is Limité.

Ideal Candidates:
We feel this position is ideal for college students (but not limited to) looking to gain valuable REAL experience with a fast-paced, up & coming online media company that focuses on dissecting pop culture in a relevant and intelligent manner.

Contributor Duties:
You will be responsible for various cultural and product reviews, conduct interviews and manage press release submissions for the online magazine. Experience is not necessary for the position, although we do recommend a writing background (literature, communication or any other liberal arts majors).  Most importantly, we need those with a lot of fire and enthusiasm and the ability to learn and contribute great editorial ideas. 

Incentives:
The position/internship is currently unpaid, but affords lots of networking opportunities at exciting industry events, school credit, work reference and valuable editorial experience.
