Hello Vogue Paris,
I'm Karidja Touré.
I am here for the Iconic Interview.
I would say it is Emma Watson,
because I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter saga,
so obviously I grew up with posters of Emma Watson all over my room.
I would put myself in her place.
I remember I would sometimes search for YouTube videos,
making-of and behind-the-scenes videos.
It's Viola Davis.
Throughout her career, as a child and growing up,
the way she thinks, the way she talks,
the way she plays.
I am a big, big fan of Viola Davis.
I don't think I discovered her in this film,
but it is a film that I really liked,
it is called "The Help".
She was just great in that role.
And then "How to Get Away with Murder" which is more recent.
Recently, I enjoyed filming with Elsa Zylberstein,
She was very nice to me, a very good listener.
I also enjoyed shooting with Kristin Scott Thomas.
When I was younger, I did my first mini-acting class.
It was Cyrano de Bergerac.
Of course, I always remember:
"I, Sir, if I had such a nose, I’d have it amputated on the spot!"
I think it remains an iconic line,
at least for me.
The cover with Rihanna was my favorite.
Harry Potter, again.
Maybe I am still a bit stuck in my childhood,
but the films that impressed me the most were the ones I watched when I was younger,
and it was Harry Potter, or even Disney films like High School Musical.
Gabriella Montez and Zac Efron, Troy Bolton.
The Notebook, which is a romantic film.
Don't ask me why, but I am a very romantic woman.
I was born on February 14th, so that says it all.
The scene in the rain, the kiss in the rain.
And there is also a scene where they are on a lake with lots of swans, I think, around them.
This scene is sublime.
Recently, I have been into Spike Lee's work very much.
I liked "BlacKkKlansman", and "Do the Right Thing" which was superb.
There is not necessarily a lot of action,
but still I was captivated throughout the film.
The themes in his films are topical and will continue to be so,
and we can learn a lot from them as well.
In High School Musical 2, when Troy and Gabriella break up,
and there is a little tune that goes:
"What about us? What about everything we've been through?"
The separation and everything, I thought it was so cute,
so I think that really rocked my childhood.
I could stick with that particular scene.
Jeans.
I have a lot of pairs of jeans, and I keep buying and buying, and buying.
I like Rihanna a lot.
Her style is always flawless.
I also like Angelina Jolie a lot.
Sometimes she can be a tomboy,
and other times she can also be very classic, wear beautiful dresses,
be a bit more glamorous.
And that's what I like: playing with different styles.
That is what I also do in real life.
Right now, I really like the work of Virginie Viard at Chanel.
The last fashion show, there was a look –
I don't know if I could wear it,
but it was just so beautiful.
It was a little jacket with, glittery silver threads,
with matching mini shorts, like a jumpsuit.
I think it was a two-piece or three-piece,
but I found it sublime.
I could name many.
There was also a small waistcoat, tank top style,
with a belt that stopped right there, where you can see the skin.
It was so beautiful.
In fact, almost everything.
On a daily basis, I like everything that shines, when there is a bit of glitter,
and Chanel manages to do just that without being too girly.
It makes you feel like a woman, it makes you feel assertive.
And above all, they haven't really changed what Coco Chanel did at the beginning,
that is to say all the suits, the blazers.
And likewise, there is also a boyish side in certain styles
with more masculine jackets,
and skirts that are a bit deconstructed.
That is what I like a lot.
