New York-based writer and editor Mary Randolph
Carter worked her way through a number of positions in publishing --
including beauty and health editor at Mademoiselle and creative director at Self . These
days, Carter is senior vice-president of publishing for
Polo Ralph Lauren.
Her home is an
Americana fantasy packed with enough antiques, oddities, and memorabilia
from her insanely rich story to fill a museum. As she says, “I’ve never
stopped to think if I felt like I needed it. It’s not a matter of need;
it’s a matter of what is going to have personal meaning to me.” Her
style, too, is about layering, white shirts and chinos, and vintage everything from coats, sweaters and vests, to vintage hats, Frye boots and jewelry.
Some of the books MRC has written (she has written eight);
I love her funky, fun, fabulous style. She does what I strive to do...
dress for personal expression with unique fashion.
