i-D Spring 2021 : The Utopia in Dystopia Issue
Matty Fall and Mika Schneider by Alasdair Mcellan
Mika Schneider, 19, Paris
Describe yourself in four words…
Indecisive, productive, altruistic, tall.
What was your professional highlight of 2020?
My first
Vogue Japan cover.
And your personal one?
When my family returned to France this summer.
What’s the best piece of advice you got in 2020?
Do not worry about something you can't change.
Favourite song of the year?
It Might Be Time by Tame Impala.
What’s the strangest dream you had in 2020?
I'm the master of strange dreams and definitely had a couple this year. One of the recent ones was my mom asking me to get a deodorant from a happy meal and being told by the McDonald's employee that the person asking me for it was very weird, and that I needed to get away from that person. Then I went to a techno party, then a demon jumped from house to house to burn them before it attacked mine.
What are you the most excited about doing when life returns to normal?
I can't wait to go back to a life where we don't wear masks anymore. I want to see entire faces.
Who would you most like to see on an i-D cover in 2021?
Someone in the industry who's fighting against climate change.
