Editor in Residence

Elisabeth Bento has spent over three decades working in the fashion industry across modeling, editorial, brand direction, and styling. She began her career in the 1990s as a model with Karin Models in Paris, where she was introduced to the inner workings of the fashion world. In the early 2000s, she moved into journalism, working as a fashion editor for L’Officiel in Paris. She later became Image Director for the French label Maje, contributing to the development of the brand’s visual identity.

Since then, Bento has worked independently as a stylist, creative consultant, and content creator. She is also the founder of The Closeters, a project focused on secondhand fashion and circular wardrobes. Her work reflects an ongoing interest in how people build and rethink their personal style.
