Alain-Bernard

Catherine (1944). French journalist. In January 1992 she became director of the monthly magazine Dépèche Mode, changing both the content and its appearance. She updated the layout and reduced the cover price, dedicating 50% of its pages exclusively to fashion and limiting coverage of the news. She began her career in 1967, working for several magazines, including Mademoiselle. In 1972 Elisabeth Bernigaud appointed her chief-editor of Dépèche Mode Professionel. Four years later, the two of them created Dépèche Mode Grand Public, which they directed together. From 1977 to 1991 she worked with Elle, Madame Figaro and Nouveau Figaro.
