Rue du Mail isn’t Martine Sitbon’s only new project. The designer, who returned to the Paris runways in March, has guest-edited the fifth issue of the Belgian magazine A. (Previous issues have been edited by Yohji Yamamoto, Haider Ackermann, Nick Knight, and Craig McDean.) Inside are Q&A’s with DJ Frederic Sanchez and designer Andrée Putman, as well as artwork by the likes of Jim Dine and Paul McCarthy. Sitbon also asked Sofia Coppola and Tilda Swinton to answer “Proust Questionnaires.” We turned the tables on her.
