Angelina Jolie posó para una revista de moda con un impactante peinado y ropa de su marca
BY CR STAFF SEPTEMBER 20, 2024
This is a new season for Angelina Jolie. Fresh off an eight-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for her role as Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s Maria, and in the throes of building a creative collective at her New York studio and fashion brand, Atelier Jolie, the actress, philanthropist and creative is finding new ways to “break the box.”

Carine Roitfeld: What inspired you to start Atelier Jolie, and why now?
Angelina Jolie: My intention was to build a space—a home, really—for people to create and be inspired. The house is comprised of artists and designers from around the world, and at the heart is an invitation to re-engage in design and build community.
CR: How did you envision Atelier Jolie blurring the lines between designer label and creative collective?
AJ: It doesn’t feel at all like blurring so much as honoring individuality and celebrating the spirit of personal expression. I have always loved making and designing alongside the brilliant tailors, costume designers, and pattern makers I’ve had the privilege of encountering over my career.
I wanted to build a collective with artists and designers who inspire me and are creating in a way that challenges overconsumption. Simon Ungless is a beautiful example of this; he has joined us in the atelier to share his craft and designs with our guests and has even printed on some of the pieces I’ve designed while he was teaching.
Zolay Sherzad, the founder and creative director of the Afghan brand Zarif, designed and embroidered the jacket seen on the cover [of CR] with her network of Afghan artisans. It’s part of a capsule collection that showcases their beautiful technique, design, and culture. It’s exciting to see what happens when artists collaborate. There’s only one rule for our guests in residence: they cannot only create for themselves. They have to contribute to the community, to trade or teach or entertain.
CR: How do you want Atelier Jolie to be perceived?
AJ: I hope it’s not perceived but rather experienced as a home for artists, and that it’s understood when our doors are open that we invite everyone to come create.

CR: What makes sustainability not just a trend, but a rebellious statement in the fashion industry?
AJ: Over the years, I’ve seen fashion dictated by trends and anointed arbiters of taste. But to look inward and dress for oneself—to truly express oneself with creativity and resourcefulness—is a useful rebellion in this modern age.
The modular Atelier Jolie suit seen in this issue, which is made from deadstock [fabric], is a collection staple, and includes interchangeable collars. It was made to be personalized; for a new look there can be new parts added or adjusted, instead of purchasing a new suit or new dress.

CR: Humanitarian efforts have defined your impact on the world. What inspired you to get involved with this work?
AJ: My mother was a very globally minded, thoughtful person, who often spoke to me about injustice. When I was in my twenties, I started to travel and realized how much I had not been taught in school or was aware of. I began my education, or reeducation rather, then. I began traveling to areas of conflict and post-conflict. Listening. Learning. My world view is very much shaped by refugee families, and I have so much respect for them. I hate it when I see the media and politicians using these families for their own gain. No one would choose that life. We are honored to have Eat Off Beat in residence. They are a refugee chef collective, and wonderful to work with.
CR: How do you stay informed and engaged with the communities you work with?
AJ: Being part of a global creative [collective] is a dream of mine, and I am fortunate to know so many of these artists personally.

CR: In terms of your acting career, what have been some of the roles you’ve played that you feel have marked your career as an actress?
AJ: I don’t know. I think the first script I wrote meant the most to me as an artist. There is also my experience directing Unbroken, before Louie Zamperini passed away, or First They Killed my Father, which I did for my dear friend about her childhood. Acting is hard for me to measure, as when I’m doing a role I am within, and it’s harder to think about.
CR: Is there a particular performance that you now see differently, perhaps with more wisdom or a deeper understanding?
AJ: I don’t think often of the past and some of my films I’ve not watched. I love the process more than the outcome at times. The films where I have portrayed real people always mean more because there is greater responsibility. Sometimes when I see a clip of an old film, it’s like seeing a home movie and remembering places and friends.
CR: In what ways has your work behind the camera influenced your choices and performances in front of it?
AJ: After directing I had more understanding of each crew member and their needs. I hope that I’m able to give more to the overall process on set after understanding more deeply the many moving parts.
CR: What’s one mantra that you live by?
AJ: I don’t have a motto, but freedom has always been important to me. For myself and others.
CR: In your opinion, what do you think it means to be a true creative?
AJ: I think everyone has it in them to create. To create is to live. But to create something new that comes from within is a special thing. It is also the ability to “break the box” and find something that moves others emotionally or make them think.
CR: Do you still feel punk? Do you think of yourself as a rebel now?
AJ: If punk means not to follow, but to question, then I suppose I do. The resistance to being told how to think, dress or feel is important to me.
CR: I know we’re both very family-oriented, what’s one lesson that your children have taught you?
AJ: There are too many to count or name just one. But the moment you become a parent you are never first again. Your life is for another. It’s a beautiful feeling.
CR: What’s one passion you geek out on that nobody knows about?
AJ: Foreign policy. I suppose it’s why I direct the films I do. But I also like to be silly and love good standup comedy.
CR: I just started my tattoo journey. Can you tell me about your most recent tattoo and the significance of it?
AJ: I got “Stay Gold” with my daughter Viv during our time with The Outsiders. It means so much to us separately and together. There is also a Bird that I share with some of my children that is personal to us.

CR: In what ways did you prepare to play Maria Callas?
AJ: Pablo expected me to really work very, very hard. And he expected me to sing. I went into classes six or seven months before…he expected me to learn, to really sing, to take Italian classes, to understand and study opera, to immerse completely and do the work, which of course for Maria, there was no other way. But it was much more than that, it was to understand Maria Callas and be able to play the character. The music was her life, her relationship to her voice and her body, her ability to sing, her presence on stage and her communication with the audience, it was her life. It was the key to her as well.
CR: How did you connect with her on a deeper, emotional level?
AJ: I sat in the dark for hours, often listening to her music. She is her music and through that you can begin to know her and feel her, if you let it in. Personally, I connected to her vulnerability.
CR: Given that you had never sung before, what was it like to undergo seven months of opera training?
AJ: In a way, it was the therapy I didn’t realize I needed. I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out. So, the challenge wasn’t the technical, it was an emotional experience to find my voice, to be in my body, to express. You have to give every single part of yourself. When opera singers’ express pain, it’s not like a little bit, it’s the biggest depth. Everything that you’ve got. It requires your full body, and it requires you to be full emotionally, as open and as loud, in as big a voice as you can possibly do. And you realize by doing it how much you can harm yourself to not feel and to not express fully what you carry in your body.

Uno de los looks más extravagantes de la sesión fue sin dudas un vestido blanco y negro con escote irregular, una manga voluminosa con pliegues y falda acampanada con ilustraciones realistas estilo foto y diseños de grafiti. Lo combinó con mitones negros de red y llevó un pincel en una mano, símbolo de su costado artístico.
Sobre la creación de Atelier Jolie, la actriz dijo a la revista: “Mi intención era construir un espacio (un hogar, en realidad) para que la gente creara y se inspirara. La casa está compuesta por artistas y diseñadores de todo el mundo, y en el fondo es una invitación a volver a participar en el diseño y construir una comunidad”.
Además, se expresó sobre su visión de la moda y el vínculo con la sustentabilidad. “A lo largo de los años, he visto la moda dictada por las tendencias y árbitros ungidos del gusto. Pero mirar hacia adentro y vestirse según uno mismo es una rebelión útil en esta era moderna”.

Y agregó: “El traje modular Atelier Jolie que se ve en esta edición, que está hecho de telas recicladas, es un elemento básico de la colección e incluye cuellos intercambiables. Fue hecho para ser personalizado; para una nueva apariencia se pueden agregar o ajustar nuevas piezas, en lugar de comprar un traje o vestido nuevo”.
