A fashion journalist has a conversation with Model: Ines del la Fressange

(a re-blog)...
With the collections wrapping up in Paris, who better to answer my questionnaire than one of France's most iconic figures, Ines de la Fressange. The former model turned Roger Vivier bigwig opens up about her dislike for aggressive and stingy men who wear short socks, goes cryptic on the topic of her mother, and suggests we all run to the grocery to buy a jar of Nutella
When I wake up... I smile even if I don't want to. It helps transform my ideas.
Before I go to bed... I apply Dior nail cream and Revitalift from L'Oréal. This is a religion.
A well-dressed man/woman... usually they are anonymous but let's say Freida Pinto (sic).
Women should always... have sense of humor and clean teeth.
Men should never... be aggressive and stingy or wear short socks.
The best thing that's been said about me... "she is beyond stunning" but I can't remember who said it!
The biggest misconception about me... is that I have plenty of clothes.
If I weren't doing what I'm doing today... I'd be a psychoanalyst, painter, ebeniste or gardener.
My legacy... is my imagination.
A great idea... is Nutella giving 1€ for every box sold to help alleviate starvation in the world.
Botox is... expensive, ephemeral and awful.
My mother... is not really the grandmother of my children. It's a pity.
The soundtrack of my life... is Douce France by Charles Trenet.
The future... is about trying to stop talking about the past. People always ask me about the past.
Happiness... is having at least an "Ines" in this world!
There's a time and place for... everything you love. Just take time to make a list of your priorities.
There is too much... waste. Waste of food, waste of money, waste of time, waste of words.
In the end... I am happy. I know it and I hope you are too!

Patrick Scwarzenegger Talks Modeling...

Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold and Maria Shriver, talked to Details about what he's been up to lately.
It turns out that the 17-year-old already has a clothing line (he founded it at age 15, people) called Project360 that donates 10 percent of its sales to charity. The t-shirts bracelets and hoodies are sold at Bloomingdale's and Henri Bendel. But that isn't Patty's only link to the fashion biz:

He just signed on with L.A. Models, which has plans to push him for the Ralph Lauren and Armani campaigns. He's doing it to "inject some capital" into Project360 and to "get comfortable in front of the camera." But modeling "isn't going to be my permanent job. There's a lot of other things I want to do."

On hanging out with the Hollywood set:

"I just saw Tallulah over winter break," he says, referring to the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. "I was at their house in Sun Valley." Although he just reunited with an ex, Patrick cockily refers to his tweet-mates Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez as "girls for the future.""My eye, though," he adds, "is set on Miley."

On a future in politics:

"My mom always talks about how hard it was to grow up in a political family," Patrick says. "It's always split up, and just--I want to have fun in life. No, politics isn't on the list."
