Décris-toi en quelques mots…
Quelqu’un qui commence à me connaitre serait surpris de savoir que je suis un garçon manqué: sports extrèmes (moto, quad, jet ski), jeux de bagarre, expériences en métallurgie et mécanique…
Mon père voulait des garçons, helas il a eut deux filles!  il nous a donc éduqué à la garçonne!!

Ta musique ou ton artiste du moment…
Pour ne pas le regretter d’ici quelques mois je vais faire une selection de mes sons préférés…
Les doors PEOPLE ARE STRANGE, Jacques brel CES GENS Là, Massive attack ANGEL, Zap mama feat dj Krush DANGER OF LOVE, Sting ENGLISH MAN IN NEW YORK, Santogold ANNE, Janis joplin SUMMERTIME, Ray Charles HIT THE ROAD JACK.

Ton look de tous les jours?
Une robe ou un pull très large, court, avec de grande manches, mais  où je m’y sens sexy..le tout complété avec des grosses boots et 9 bagues serties de pierres semi précieuses…

La robe à laquelle tu tiens le plus?
Une grande robe blanche de gitane, tombante sur les épaules et avec de grosses manches…

Tes dernières achats?
Mes derniers achats:  un sac 48 h, “LE MILLE ANS” du créateur Nicolas Theil, un bracelet pomme en galuchat vert et un collier de ce même créateur. Des chaussures compensées, un pull, un short et une jupe ACNE.

C’est quoi pour toi une fête reussie?
Pour moi une fête réussie réunit les personnes que j’aime dans un lieu sympa avec de la bonne musique, du champagne ou du bon vin, des  petits amuses gueule ….ou rien de cela tant que l’ambiance est bonne!!!

Dans la profession de mannequin… j’ aime particulièrement la diversité que ce soit sur le planning, les lieux, les rôles à jouer (beautée, lingerie, commercial, fashion..), les rencontres…

Ta boutique préféré en ville? Chez Chiffon: cette boutique chine et raccomode des pièces vintages!! robes, vestes, manteaux, chaussures…

Une de tes découvertes récente? Le jeune créateur Nicolas Theil  (je vous laisse jeter un oeil sur son site!! c’est top!!) ses pièces sont inspirées de la nature, avant-gardistes, modernes et graphiques.Certaine de ses pièces sont même recyclées et restent luxueuses.

La poudre libre Chanel…

Un conseil de beauté à partager?
A essayer absolument!! le gommage à la cassonade! Dans un bol mettre de la cassonade et un tout petit peu d’eau pour l’humidifier.
Avant de se mouiller dans la douche se frotter le corps en faisant des mouvements circulaires!! La peau est nettoyer et douce comme celle des bébés, puis utiliser le baume pour le corps de LAROCH POSAY. A faire une fois toutes les deux demaines! C’est bien plus efficace que les gommages qu’on achete en grandes surfaces ou magasins spécialisés..

C’est quoi qui te rend le plus heureuse?
Ce qui me rend le plus heureuse est de passer un bon moment avec ma familles ou des personnes qui comptent pour moi,  manger un bon repas, et se défier au poker ou autres jeux pour la famille (jet ski pour papa, plage pour maman, nature et découvertes pour papi et mamie!!!

Ce que tu fais quand tu as le moral à terre…
Quand mon moral est au plus bas je me réfugie chez ma grand mère ou ma meilleure amie…j’ai droit un bol de «chocapic» ou une bonne tisane selon la personne, les mots qui requinquent et je me change les idées devant un bon film!!

La gourmandise que à laquelle tu renonce pendant ton régime?
Je ne renonce à aucune gourmandise…je réduit simplement les doses…tout est bon tant qu’il n’y a pas d’excès

Marie Piovesan “Models of the Week” on Models.com

Posted by in Interviews

Marie Piovesan is the Model of the week on Models.com 

Here’s the interview that you can find on Models.com
How discovered:
People have been asking me to model since I was 16 but I wasn’t interested in it. I wanted to study… I did two years of fine arts and then three and a half years of archaeology… I wanted to change my point of view, discovering a brand new world so I decided to try modeling several months ago

Favorite things:
Hum… a nice concert with friends, or just stay at home with my boyfriend watching a nice movie

Favorite music, band:
Hole, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dresden Dolls, the Pogues, Stone Roses, Jesus and Mary Chain, Joy Division, Virgin Prunes and so many more…

Hobbies:
I still love to paint, I’m also trying to write a book (not sure yet that I am gifted enough for it :) ). I also read a lot : E.A . Poe, Dostoievsky, Gogol, Pouchkine, Baudelaire, Raimbaud, Nabokov, Shakespeare (I named my dog Othello), Cioran. My favorite book is Nadja from André Breton…

Favorite piece of clothing:
My leather jacket. It looks great, matches almost everything

What’s your idea of fun?
I couldn’t say I actually never have fun… :)

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Hard to pick one… Everything is so different. But I would say opening Céline because it pushed me out of my comfort zone, I used to be extremely shy not really the self confident type you need to be on the catwalk…

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
Food!!!!!!!!!! And red wine of course!

Favorite artist (any kind):
Courtney Love, Nan Goldin, E.A. Poe, David Lynch, Botticelli

Place you would love to visit:
I love traveling. I have already been to several places but I’d like to go to Scotland and travel in North and South America (I studied a bit of Nahuatl, the Mayan language ), Syria, Jerusalem, Turkey…

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Being alive. I see so many people who walk around dead and I want to be sure I am always living

Mia Moretti for Icons.

Posted by in Interviews

Icons Magazine celebrates Mia Moretti in its “internal preview”.
She shares some secrets on her success and favourite places.

On how she started….
” I did not ever imagine to do this work…I just had a collection of LP’s that I played at the Standard Hotel in LA.  It all started from there”

About the best club for people aged 30-40 in the world…
“Age counts only in Los Angeles, a town which is young by definition.  In other places the difference is defined by style rather than by age.  We mix together: There is the art crowd style MOMA, or the chic floors like at the Vuitton party, or the nightly mash ups in the clubs.

The clubs she goes to when she isn’t working.
The Box in London and Le Baron in Paris, and I am awaiting the opening of the London subsidiary – maybe at the end of November as promised by the Baron himself.
