Adeline Mans

Your nickname?

Adelain, in English. My name is Frans, but when I say that, they go deaf here at the editorial office.

And what do you do when no one is home?

An empty cup of coffee, keys, notebooks, receipts, breakfast plates, but really leaving everything lying around everywhere. Wonderful. And as long as I can, I’ll be wandering around in my joggers.

This must remain fashion forever?

The high-waist. I don’t know who ever thought that such a low pair of pants on the hips is flattering, but it’s not. Hands up for high-waist.

If your bag could talk, what would she tell us?

That you’re dealing with Jekyll & Hyde. Sometimes intensely tidy and organized, but then the chaos strikes out of nowhere.

Who do you swap wardrobes with à la minute?

With Julie Sariñana from Sincerely Jules and then I immediately adopt that beachy hair and those brown legs.

You want a ticket to…

Iceland via Scandinavia. And one per year to Greece. I want to go to New York, I’m actually an NYC virgin. And then I’ll also add Sri Lanka to my flight ticket wish list.

Favorite book/series/music of all time?

I consume just about everything in books, television, and music. Choosing is the hardest for me. Sometimes I have to reread the first page of a book or see a trailer of a movie to refresh my memory. It’s probably due to the overload I’m taking in. Because of that, I suffer from title amnesia, I don’t remember a single name.

What is on your bucket list?

So I’ve kicked that out the door. I have a fuck-it list, it really makes life more fun.

With whom would you like to swap for a day?

Ooh, with Blake Lively. I find her self-deprecation too funny and she is ridiculously beautiful.
