Teen Vogue: The Zoe Kravitz Aesthetic

Ismail oubarka | 4:15 AM

“Everyone is looking at everyone else to see what’s cool. So it’s just all about a level of confidence. When anyone sets out to be cool it becomes contrived. Cool just means “I agree with this in this moment. People thought acid-washed was cool, and it wasn’t cool — it was cool then. So it really is a moment of acceptance. It’s superficial that people think I’m cool because I wear certain clothes and I have tattoos. The funniest part is, when they get to know me, they’re always surprised by how nerdy I am.” –Zoe Kravitz for Teen Vogue

So if Zoe Kravitz has not solidified exactly how cool she is in certain minds then any ambiguity will be washed away by her feature for Teen Vogue with one of her best friends, Alexander Wang, as the interviewer. The in-depth interview reveals her thoughts on her famous parents, fashion and those driven by labels, diversity in Hollywood, Alexander Wang’s guidance, and the direction of her career. The Zoe Kravitz aesthetic is not only because she is ridiculously beautiful on the outside rather what you see before you is a reflection from within. It only seems apt to quote one of Derek Zoolander’s revelations: “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.” Zoe Kravitz certainly has done exactly that.
