Q&A: 5 minutes with Heather Marks
Photography by Tina Chang
Fresh off her Spring 2012 exclusive for Givenchy in Paris, jetsetting New York–based supermodel Heather Marks (a Calgary native) took a few moments to chat with us backstage at Edmonton’s Fashion with Compassion breast cancer fundraiser and fashion show. Despite insider access to fashion for nearly a decade, this 23-year-old beauty with rockstar style still has an appreciation for the simpler things in life.
Where do you shop when you’re back in Alberta?
“I always stop by Aritzia and I like going to Gravitypope on 17th Avenue [in Calgary] for shoes. Holt Renfrew is also a favourite.”
What’s your favourite accessory at the moment?
“I got a new Chanel bag that I’m currently obsessing over. It’s not your classic shape. It’s a little bit more round, a little bit more funky.”
Which beauty products do you never leave home without?
“Mascara—I’m usually a Maybelline mascara girl—and an eyelash curler.”
You tweeted a photo of a gifted Givenchy bad from the Spring 2012 show. What was it like to walk for Riccardo Tisci?
“It was great. It was such a beautiful collection. Riccardo Tisci is a genius, and it was so nice to go [to Paris] for just one show—super easy, one look, fly out.”
What’s your ideal Valentine’s Day date?
“Dinner and a movie, something super simple. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, just a date night—or a home-cooked meal. That would be good, to find a guy who cooks.”
