FASHION STORY
Anja : Who would you rather dress : Sharon Stone or Brigitte Bardot ?
A : Sharon, always...
Zahoua : What is THE recollection of our adolescence that inspires you in your work ?
A : When I customised your Quick T-shirt when we were 17, and you got yourself fired because of it.
Luca : How is your creative process or work ethic ? Structured, scheduled, stoic-like e.g. Thomas Mann, or rather unpredictable and characterised by phases of creative highs and lows ?
A : Every day , every hour , every minute I'm thinking of shoes, details, attitude, … It's quite awful sometimes, because it can overtake me while I’m having a completely different conversation with someone. But I can't help it.
What follows is never scheduled. I have a problem with that. Once I’ve thought all about a moment, the realisation of the concept is quite evident and fast. But it never turns out like I thought… Which is frustrating, but it helps to move on to the next one, and to always question things.
Caroline : Anthony, how do you define feminism, and do you consider yourself to be feminist ?
A : To me, being feminist today is to be free. To live for yourself and not for others. I believe to have done so since the beginning; the woman I dress is self-assured. Or at least I hope she is…
Julien : Who would be THE person to have reborn ?
A : Nobody. Once it’s over, it’s time to pass on to other things.
Saif : Who is the inspiration for the final dress worn by Anja during the S/S 2013 défilé ?
A : That’s you of course … #discomarrakesh... ;-)
Luca : What is your biggest fear, your worst nightmare ? Do you have any phobia ?
A : I’ve been a claustrophobic since I got stuck in an elevator in Casablanca five years ago. And I’m more and more afraid of taking a plane … I guess the more I take it, the more I risk having a crash … it’s just statistics. The older I grow, the more I’m scared of death.
Luca : Your collections are more than visual delights. How would you recognise someone wearing an Anthony Vaccarello piece in a darkroom ?
A : By touching her …
Barbara : How come your clothes are so sexy ?
A : That's a question you have to answer.
Laetitia : What is the best way for you to recover after the end of new collection ?
A : To spend time with friends and my family.
DAF : Where did you find Anthony ?
A : I found myself quite early I guess. At school in ’99, sketching on a wooden bench. It was there without knowing it could ever be a real job or business. It was just the desire to dress or undress a woman, which became reality in 2006.
Barbara : Sooner or later you will be offered to be the Creative Director of a Major Brand … Would you put your own brand on hold to pursue that project, or would you try to keep both, even with fashion’s demanding calendar today ?
A : Everything is possible, depending on how things come to be, and which house is asking. But only one can ask me to so. I believe it’s impossible to do two brands with the same enthusiasm and energy. It would drive me crazy knowing that one would always be less good than the other.
I don’t think it’s about moving energy towards something else. I could also stop fashion altogether and put my creative energy in another field than fashion. I don’t want to see fashion as a goal itself.
Emmanuel : When will boys finally have the opportunity to dress in AV ? I for one would really love to…
A : There are quite a few pieces for men in the collections… It’s merely a question of looking… You already have Amber Valetta’s bomber jacket ;-)
Saskia : What is the positive thought to makes you bounce back up when you are at the end of your strength ?
A : I rarely am at the end. And when I am, I fall… and think of nothing else. It’s quite rare.
Anja : Would you rather be Gianni Versace or do Gianni Versace ?
A : Being myself, having grown up with all Gianni Versace did in the 90´s.
Alastair : What is today's obsession ?
A : Change.

Warm leatherette
Melts on your burning flesh
You can see your reflection
In the luminescent dash
Warm leatherette
A tear of petrol
Is in your eye
The hand brake
Penetrates your thigh
Quick - Let's make love
Before you die
On warm leatherette
