Justina x Kyle

 

Shoes. Bags. Jewelry. All in the domain of Kyle Anderson, Accessories Director for Marie Claire magazine. Check out my interview with the man who specializes in what to add to your outfit to make it an outfit.

J:What is your favorite part of your job?

K:Having the opportunity to see the newest coolest things out there before anyone else. I'm obsessed with accessories and I get bored easily so for me looking for new things on a daily basis hour by hour is perfect.

J:If you were mentoring someone, what’s the most important piece of advice you could give them? 

K:To never give up. Life is hard, work is hard, nothing is easy. Just decide what you want to do and make it happen. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you negative things about yourself. I've had people tell me all kinds of things like "You're not good enough" or something like that. You just have to believe in yourself and push forward.

J:You get to keep one thing out of your closet, the rest will be given away. What do you keep and what’s the story behind it?

K: My favorite thing right now are my jeweled Prada golf shoes. But then I guess I'd be naked right? Except the shoes?

J:What’s one accessory that you think should be splurged on?

K: Watches. Even if you don’t buy designer clothes, I think having a good watch is important. Your wardrobe can be zara for sure, no problem, but your watch should be Cartier, Rolex, Bulgari, etc.

J:What’s it like being Kyle? 

K: Its honestly really stressful. I work really hard from 9am until probably 11pm Monday-Friday and sometimes weekends. However I have a lot of fun and I'm goofy too. I've had a lot of opportunities to travel and see a lot of things and meet interesting people because of my work but really I'm just a normal guy who likes shopping and relaxing at home watching movies.
