To the question « Where to meet The Cobrasnake ? », we were tempted to simply answer « EVERYWHERE ».

You probably already met him in a club, had a quick chat over your third vodka-anything, visited his website to check if they really have more fun in NY or Miami, or even found yourself making the weirdest face on one of his pics, but just couldn’t remember him taking that pic (the vodka I was referring to earlier might just be the reason of this amnesia) . Indeed, just like a snake, Mark Hunter has been slipping into every party from all around the world and thus has been defying the rules of sleep and jet lag for more that 7 years now.

We met him in Paris during last Fashion Week for the presentation of his burger sneaker, in collaboration with Vans and Colette. Which obviously led us to talk about food, fashion and fun.

Food

Whenever I’m in Paris, I like to go to Hotel Amour for lunch or dinner, there are always cool and trendy people there.

I’m also a big fan of Pierre Hermé. My favorite macaron flavors would be passion fruit, and rose. I have to admit I have very girly tastes.

You would think I can tell you where to eat very good burgers considering I just designed a burger sneaker, but funny thing is I’ve been a vegetarian for 10 years now. I used to have burgers almost everyday before though ! La Maison Mère (where was held The Cobrasnake x Vans x Colette dinner party) is supposed to have very good burgers.

Fashion

I like to hang in the Marais, I go get drinks at La Perle and then go shopping to American Apparel (L.A. represent !) and APC which I really like for the simplicity of the design.

Fun

When it comes to partying, it’s hard to name a place better than another. There has been some good times at Le Baron, le Social Club and le Montana… And a lot of places which I don’t even know the name, I just happened to find myslef there !

A really nice place I remember though is The Hemingway bar at the Ritz. Awesome cocktails.
