Visiting the party queen Susanne Bartsch in New York: “Switzerland is my backbone”

While the “mother of all influencers”, as she likes to be called (“I like the term!”), is an open book on almost every topic, she stubbornly remains silent when it comes to her age. “In my business, it’s a death knell to talk about it.” And what are numbers when you have so much energy? Events will include TV appearances, her own clothing line, beauty collaborations, exhibitions and the first part of a book series, which will be published in the fall. “I would like to realize something in Switzerland soon, for example an exhibition,” says Susanne Bartsch. Because even though most of her life has taken place in the Big Apple: “My homeland remains a part of me.”
