What is Willa Bennett Even Doing?

Kyle suits up for Cosmopolitan and Seventeen Editor-in-Chief Willa Bennett to discuss their ties du jour & love for Demna, the impact high school English teachers had on their careers, how Willa honors & evolves the magazines she loved growing up with, their Highsnobiety photoshoot that minted Kyle’s babygirl status, Willa’s inspiration for Cosmopolitan’s 60th anniversary edition & what makes magazines (and Macaulay Culkin) so special. Willa and Kyle wax about their shared passion for ballet & Blind Date, and Kyle gauges Willa’s journalism prowess in a friendly game of “News or Not” while sporting chic headwear.
