Career / Mary Jane Quan

One of the best things about working here at the Studio is that we get to meet incredible people with incredible stories. Which is why I am so excited to share today’s career interview with Mary Jane, also known as MJ, who at the age of 51, is one of our interns.

We met MJ at an event at The Wing, where she asked us if she could intern for us! We were thrilled to have her—she has a background in financial journalism and her story is really incredible. I won’t give away too much, but MJ is a fighter who is jumping back into the world of media feet first after a nearly 16 year break from working. I’m inspired by her every day, and just hope that she’s finding inspiration in the work we’re doing here! [Editor’s Note: get your tissues ready!]

Flaws and All

Scars are in a beauty no-man’s land. They’re imperfections that aren’t conversation topics (or heavily commercialized) the way wrinkles and grey hairs are. Basically we don’t talk about them, even though they’re universal and come with very personal stories. While very literally they are wounds, they also represent the power and fragility of the human body. They are evidence of a mistake, a life well-lived, a dedication to a craft…they truly make you, you.

We invited Sophie, Jane and Teaunna to the studio, three women who have scars of totally different origins, to talk with us about how they got their scars, how they feel about them and how their relationship with their own bodies were impacted as a result. Oh, and Emily’s pup Fitz makes an appearance – he might not have a scar but he’s cute enough to make the cut!

Style Story / Sofia Wood

A self-proclaimed foodie, Sofia Wood’s beautifully arranged recipes she posts on her Instagram are perfectly in line with her straightforward way of dressing. Turn back the clock to 2008 and you might not recognize her when Garance photographed her… with bright blonde hair! But I’m sure even then Sofia was as lovely as she was that warm day in Stockholm when she invited us into her home for yet another fika and some easy-listening to the newest Frank Ocean album.
