Interview with Millane for Grazia Philippines

1. When was the first time you were in Cannes? What is the best you can remember?
   I was in Cannes for the first time during summer 2020. Me and my friends made a road trip, and I remember them showing me the film festival, and I thought to myself how mind-blowing it would be to be invited one day. Here I am now, I guess.
2. What was the best movie you saw these days in Cannes festival and what you were wearing?
   I loved watching “Horizon.” It caught my attention from the very beginning and kept it till the very end. I was wearing a red dress from Genny during that movie.
3. What does fashion mean to you?
   Fashion means art. Not only does the way you dress express yourself, but it also represents yourself. Fashion is movement and design in one, and an individual taste for every person. For me, fashion is passion and also the art of putting different pieces together that creates a whole masterpiece.
4. What do you have in your handbag right now?
   Always my lip gloss with me.
5. Who is your favorite film director?
   I love George Lucas, but also Martin Scorsese is an absolute genius.
6. How would you describe yourself as a woman?
   I would describe myself as a creative, passionate, and warm-hearted woman.
7. Do you live with rules in your life?
   I live with a lot of rules. Rules for my well-being, my daily life routine, my belief, my relationships. In my opinion, rules are important to set a standard for your life.
8. What is love for you?
   Love is God, and everything that flows from God is love. Love is unconditional and undeserving. Love is putting its own needs aside, and love is the opposite of fear.
9. Who is your favorite designer?
   That’s a tough one, but I have to say I’m absolutely in love with everything Marcelo Gaia is doing.
10. Your favorite holiday destination?
    It’s either Italy, France, or Hawaii.
11. Best restaurant in Cannes?
    I absolutely love La Mome.
12. Your biggest wish?
    That’s going to stay a secret, or otherwise, it’s not going to get fulfilled, right?
