Interview à Mariel Bennett

few questions from the "Questionnaire de Proust"

What do you Regard as the lowest depth of misery? Feeling alone, When I have a thosand texts / emails I have to respond to. Feelings of misery make me think about death, which in my opinion is not attractive.
Where would you like to live? In a place where I feel loved and that feels like home. I think I need a house or apartment not only like the one I have in the West Village, but one in L.A., one in Paris, and one in Holland. What is your idea of earthly happiness? Knowing that everyone I love is happy and the feeling you get when you buy a new garment that you are in love with.
To what faults do you feel most indulgent? Shopping, I know that sounds terribly cliche but if I had to choose between a meal or clothes... I mean I do all the time, I choose clothes.
Who are your favorite heroines?
My heroes would be the main characters from the Novels by Plum Sykes, many movie characters. Secretly I have many made up personas that I blog under. I guess I like them as well!

The quality you most admire in a woman? Confidence, mystery, happiness Your favorite occupation? Designer: graphic or a clothing designer/editor-in-chief of a publication like Lula or Vogue.
Who would you have liked to be? It is not who would I have liked to be, it is what will I be, no? I hope to be editor in chief of a magazine (VOGUE!).

Dress Me

Mariel Eve Bennett is a very special friend of mine, born in Vermon now lives in NY for his studies at the Parsons School and its work projects ;, I love having the opportunity to be part of his project that is to say, a magazine in which some people (including me) have been chosen by her to write our opinion on divere bases, all about fashion, style, obsession, all followed by the beautiful pictures that appear Mariel, depending on the subject to interpret a different style.
to see the complete job (which I recommend to read and admire) just go to this site, or contact Mariel to have a copy.
