Kristen Stewart in Balenciaga on May 23.
We'll be honest—we basically flipped our LID when we found out that Kristen Stewart was the face of Balenciaga's new fragrance. Whenever the Twilight star gets involved in the fashion world, straight-up magic always happens. I mean, um, haiii, have you seen her Wmag cover?
*swoon* Since the big news was released, K Stew has uncovered SO many
more deets including the name of the fragrance (Florabotanica!), the
inspiration behind the Steven Meisel-shot campaign, and, yes, even the ad itself in an interview with WWD. Lucky for you, we plucked out all the best parts from the piece, so check out the highlights below!
KRISTEN STEWART ON WEARING PERFUME: “On a base
level, the reason you want to wear a fragrance is because you want to
smell attractive. That in itself is a pretty mature idea, especially
considering the teenager I was. I was never the one wearing my mom’s
perfume and trying to be sexy. I was like hanging out with my brothers
and doing the opposite of that."
KRISTEN STEWART ON THE FLORABOTANICA FRAGRANCE: “I’m
very lucky that I like the fragrance, because I would have done
anything with [Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière]. And I’m a
terrible liar. There is something natural about it. It’s very alive. I
think that as a young person wearing it—considering that I’ve never worn
a scent—it kind of puts you on this level of, like, ‘Whoa, check me
out.’”
KRISTEN STEWART ON SHOOTING THE BALENCIAGA CAMPAIGN: “When
I first stood there, I was like, ‘OK, do you want me to show the curves
of the dress? Do you want me to stand like this? Like that?’ And they
were like, ‘Just be comfortable.’ I find when you do a really good photo
shoot, you’ve unlocked something that you didn’t necessarily know you
had in you,. There are qualities that certain clothes, or certain
environments and certain people, bring to the surface that can be
surprising. But that doesn’t mean that they’re not authentic.”
