W MAGAZINE released the second of four covers for its latest issue, Volume 4, The Fall Fashion Issue, featuring actor, musician, fashion icon Zoë Kravitz. This year, The Fall Fashion Issue is inspired by obsessions – what were we dying for, who were we living for, and what couldn’t we get out of our heads.
People close to her were not surprised that she wanted to direct a movie. “Everyone said, ‘You are a control freak, and you’re super bossy—directing is perfect for you,’ ” Kravitz told me, as she leaned into the carpet where the lizard had been.
On how the #MeToo movement inspired her to write her new film Blink Twice: “In the summer of 2017, I had come to a place of frustration with society and culture power dynamics…I went home one day after talking to a friend, and I wrote down the original title of the film: Pussy Island. Then—when was it? October, I think, when everything happened with Har—actually, I don’t want to say his name. I don’t want to give him any power.”
Recalling her biggest fashion/trend fail: “I did have one bad moment,…I plucked my eyebrows scarily thin. My mom said, ‘If you ever touch your eyebrows again, I will kill you.’ Thank god they grew back.”
On her favorite movie as a child: “The first movie I fell in love with was Grease…I drove everyone crazy with the songs, with leather jackets, talking about Danny Zuko. I would put on shows in my grandmother’s or my mom’s house. I’d perform songs with my cousins. I would cut up little tickets—I’d make the family pay me money! I was like, ‘It’s one dollar to get in.’ They’d say, ‘We live here; this is crazy,’ but they’d give me the dollar.”
Discussing her preferred fashion choices when directing Blink Twice: “We were like this weird, culty summer camp group…I bought 10 pairs of Patagonia shorts in different colors. I wore dresses sometimes, and I was really into loafers with socks. And hats. My ’fits were pretty cool. I didn’t think about it a lot, but when I looked back, I was like, ‘These are pretty cool.’”
