Icon of the month January 2023: Marie Marot

What made you want to get into entrepreneurship?
It was natural, I'm convinced that it's a state of mind that you either have or you don't. It's a difficult daily life, whether it works or it doesn't, it's without a safety net, it's up to you. And at the same time it's a fabulous adventure, which pushes you to surpass yourself, you also learn a lot about yourself.

Why the shirt and where do you find your inspiration?
Most women "collect" shoes, I've always "collected" shirts since I was a teenager, in cotton, denim, linen, vintage, new and from many different brands. It's a garment in which I instantly feel good, whether it's worn dressed up or more casual. It's "torture" for me to wear a t-shirt ;)

I draw inspiration from everything, I look at everything, what we've done before and what we're doing now. Even if my shirts are timeless and classic, the eye and the image must remain fresh!

The Marie Marot universe in 3 words?
Timeless, desirable, feminine & masculine

In your opinion, what are the 3 essentials of a woman's wardrobe?
A shirt, jeans and a cashmere sweater – it doesn't get more feminine than this

Could you name your fashion and beauty icons?
Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant, Andrée Putman, Ali McGraw, Lauren Hutton, Giovanni Agnelli, Françoise Sagan and many others…

What are your wellness tips for living life in the fast lane?
Don't live life in the fast lane ;) – know how to take time, time for yourself, listen to yourself. Living life in the fast lane is not a guarantee of productivity...

D+ for care, what does that mean to you?
Inner beauty – reversing the trend, starting from the beginning, namely taking care of yourself from the inside out, through diet and supplements, and not just through creams and serums. Adopting new habits.

What is your relationship with beauty? A big consumer or more of a minimalist?
Quite minimalist – I like to test new products for at least 2/3 months and never too many products or supplements at the same time.

If you had to keep just one beauty product, which one would you keep?
Collagen sticks!

Finally, what would you say to a young entrepreneur who would like to start out?
Without hesitation I would tell him to go for it, everything is possible even without any background or investor.

Tell a story, create a universe, don't forget your intuition, know how to surround yourself with the right people, have fun and be persistent. The rest will follow...
