Is Emmanuelle Alt French?

Hilary Alexander of The Telegraph conducted another of her intriguing interviews with Emmanuelle Alt. Among the astonishing facts revealed:

• Emmanuelle disdains exercise, facials, makeup, skirts, and water, preferring to drink Diet Coke.
• She has her hair cut spontaneously while on fashion shoots and never bothers to go to the hairdresser.
• Her mother, Françoise, modeled for Lanvin and Nina Ricci in the 1960s and 70s.
• Emmanuelle enjoys cooking, driving, and family vacations.
• She neither smokes nor drinks alcohol; she even avoids coffee!
• She has an uncanny eye for the next big thing with an affinity for rising designers including "Bouchra Jarrar, Alexandre Vauthier, Anthony Vaccarello — 'I think he has a big future' — Julien Fournié, Maxime Simoens, Olympia Le-Tan (handbags), Haider Ackermann, Damir Doma."

Only ten days until the release of Emmanuelle's first issue as editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, I look forward to seeing what she has up her chic sleeve...

Madame Nas, it is an extreme pleasure to see you in the comments. Thank you for noting your disbelief, I believe you.

Alison, it does seem a bit much considering she IS, in fact, French!

[kellina]

She does sound down to earth and natural, Kate. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed reading the article.

[noelani]

Quite contrarian of her. I kind of like it...and that we are finding out more and more info about the mysterious Alt.

[noelani]

But seriously no wine or coffee?

[kellina]

I know, Noelani! No coffee seems quite contrarian to this espresso lover...
