Mika Schneider on How She Wants to Be Remembered
Bazaar’s 2022 Icons issue celebrates a rising generation of stars—people 30 years old or younger—who are making an impact on the world through their ideas and their art. Here, we talk to French-Japanese model Mika Schneider about her thoughts on leaving a legacy and more.
Who is one icon you wish you could have met?
Maybe a goddess, like Athena, because I want to hear how she sees life and how she solves problems—how she is going to deal with what she deals with.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
To be grateful. My mom gave it to me, but also life has taught me to be grateful every day for everything.
When do you feel most iconic?
Once I’ve accomplished everything in the day. So when I go to bed, it’s like, okay, now I can go to bed.
What do you want your legacy to be?
Almost nothing. Nothing physical. I don’t want to leave a big trace, but I want people to remember me as something respectable and clean. Once again, something really light, but quite sweet.
What, in your opinion, is the most iconic astrological sign?
As a Virgo, I want to say Virgos, but I think Scorpio and Leos can make really good icons. Maybe this is just because I’m Scorpio rising, but I think Scorpios always know what to do. They know themselves; they’re really charming. And Virgos are iconic because we get things done. By doing things effectively, we get people to respect us.
