Kristen and Nicolas Ghesquiére Talk Balenciaga With Vanity Fair Italy
Translation
I’ve never seen a muse so into her role and an artist so inspired. The dangerous relationship between Kristen Stewart and Nicolas Ghesquiére, started for pure interest, as often happens between an Hollywood actress and a successful designer.. “it could have left no trace on me, instead it changed my life”, Kristen tells to Vanity Fair, in a suite at the Bristol Hotel in Paris, looking at Nicolas.
How did you meet each other?
K: I accepted this collaboration, following my instinct, as I always do. Then he got me involved completely. I forgot that I was american, 22, and I found another world and culture; I started dreaming and I felt my body changing: I was becoming a real woman, in the capable hands of someone that guided me.
N: I didn’t want to do a “masquerade”, I wanted her, flesh and blood, with all the emotional baggage that I could get from her. I wanted her to be a “femme” and bold in her choices.

Kristen in Marie Claire Magazine - November 2012
Full Transcript
Kristen isn’t one of those girls who sprays perfume in the air and that spins around in its mist. The world’s favourite vampire has too much bite for the softly, softly approach to applying scent, ‘Fragrance is feral,’she says, rubbing her chest provocatively, ‘It’s sexual, it’s about your skin.’
In real life, Stewart is a world away from the gawky teenager that Twilight fans have come to know and love. But we all know that now because, a fortnight after this interview, news broke that she’s been two-timing R-Patz with her dashing director on Snow White and the Huntsman, Rupert Sanders. Having met her, the affair isn’t surprising in the slightest; Stewart seems to have a highly developed rebellious streak.
Considering the amount of waiting around and general celeb reverence that been involved in getting my Dictaphone in front of her, I’m pretty surprised Stewart is talking about being sexual at all. If that wasn’t enough, she says ‘f***’ and ‘c***’ all the time, too. Inside, I’m rubbing my hands with glee (‘She swears’), but I remain poker-faced. In the sweltering Parisian heat, on a plush couch, in the plushest hotel, I am not going to be the one who loses her cool factor.
Stewart and her expletives aside, there is someone else in the room, making up this rather fabulous tete-a-trois: Nicholas Ghesquiere. Better known as Mr. Balenciaga, he also happens to be my fashion hero and, if I’m going to keep my cool in front of anyone, it’s going to be him. To be clear, I’m not usually so hung up on the notion of 'cool', but it becomes a recurring theme during our chat about the new Balenciaga fragrance, Florabotanica, to which Stewart has lent her face.
For the record, both agree that fearlessness is the key to cool, 'It's about being on the edge of something - about not taking the easy route,' says Stewart, the girl who found international mega-fame as a teenager.'To be cool is not to be crippled by yourself,' she adds, lest anyone dare assume that her brisk confidence isn't the genuine article.
As for Ghesquiere, well, he's so cool he is able to pay a compliment and talk definitions. 'What's cool is bravery and to be very fashionable - and that is very Kristen." I quickly realise two things: 1) I am not very cool; 2) despite the oppressive heat, the temperature in the room (myself excluded) is sub-zero.
Not only are Stewart and Ghesquiere untouchably (sorry to be repetitive) cool (hers emerald, his sea blue) and are also proper friends. Genuine, real-life friendship is a rarity in the world of celebrity match-ups, so the conversation flows easily. They finish each other's sentences, they have in-jokes and they giggle like a pair of carefree lovers.
The pair met on a Bruce Weber shoot in 2004. 'It was a journey,' says Ghesquiere of their first conversation. 'Ever since that moment I have never forgotten her. It was a curiosity to interact with Kristen. You can't imagine anyone would ever forget her - she has a strong tendency to dominate the room.
'You meet someone and you recognise them. You f***ing recognise them', says Stewart. Observing them interact is like watching an extremely stylish version of Tom & Jerry. And from what I can gather, it's this Jerry-like fight, the rebellion i talked about earlier, that made Stewart the perfect Balenciaga muse.
The fact that she had no idea about the house's heritage (Cristóbal Balenciaga was Spain's answer to Christian Dior) was rather unexpected but, in the context of it's futuristic place in today's world, hardly surprising. By the time Nicholas Ghesquiere joined in 1995, the house had lapsed into obscurity. 'No one had any expectations,' he says. So he could perfect his craft without the world watching.
'No one cared about Balenciaga when I started, and that was a great freedom for me. I made mistakes, but that was OK.' His honestly is infectious. 'I am thankful that I have this crazy heritage, but at the same time I love looking forward.'
The results of this mash-up are the exquisitely mind-challenging clothes he shows each season. Like the house's founder, Ghesquiere challenges expectations. Cristóbal shocked the fashion world with his new silhouette: broad and rounded in the shoulders, he did away with the fashionable waist and favoured wide, tunic style dresses and coats inspired by the kimono.
Ghesquiere has his revolutionary markers, too. You can send him your thanks for that bit-sporty, bit-arty look you've been trying to perfect for several seasons now. The engineered neoprene is him, too; ditto your chunky-but-beautiful mega -heels and those moulded, curved jackets heavy with summer blooms. He has a varied vision, but his mark, his bravery, his ability to hold the house's heritage with great care and yet catapult it beyond the fashion frontier - these are the qualities that make Balenciaga the definition of, yes, cool.
'It was a sleeping beauty,' says the Frenchman of the house he inherited. 'With strength and determination, we put it back on the map. I haven't changed my intention since I started.'
Ghesquiere approached the process of perfume-making in the same way he does his mainline collections. Old meets new, 'a hybrid', he says. 'I tried not to be too hard. Fragrance is an emotion,' he adds with conviction. It's a smell, it's skin. You can remember someone from smelling them. I wanted it to stay emotional. When you try to control it too much, one thing will take over everything.'
This is where he and Stewart differ completely. He holds something back; he he lets silence, clothes, fragrance do his talking. The actress is all too aware that she is on show, an the 'on-show' Stewart can be brash and provocotive. I mean, if I was the new face of Balenciaga and had the pick of the latest collection to wear, I wouldn't have chosen a neoprene vest and grubby-looking jeans for the interview.
But that's just me. The fans love her, and the brains at Balenciaga certainly aren't stupid. they want their beautiful newrose scent, in its minimalist, Mondrian-inspired bottle to sell, and I'm guessing their target market is those savvy girls who know the brand's name, but perhaps aren't rich enough to afford one of its capacious handbags.
Stewart, therefore, is their ticket to ride, and she's happy to oblige. Because Balenciaga is cool. Seriously cool. And that's all that really matters.

The 6 allies of Kristen Stewart
The American face of Florabotanica, the new Balenciaga juice, has the biggest Hollywood salaries, and a sense of coquetry bang on trend.
- Sabine Maida
1. The sharp perfume
"I'm not crazy of perfume, but this Balenciaga juice pleases me! I vaporize it on my wrists during the day, to give me a boost, and the evening, to go out. Fragrance helps to feel more self-assured, more women." Florabotanica, Balenciaga
2. Dry shampoo
"I am not of these Americans who go every day to the hairdresser. I wash my hair just once or twice a week, I often refresh them with a dry shampoo." Full Detox, Ojon

Kristen and Nicholas Ghesquire in Vogue Spain nº295
About Kristen Stewart and Charlotte Gainsbourg:
"Both are mysterious, and mystery provokes desire. Both choose very define artistic ways in which I recognize myself. And they feel in the same way with my fashion, so that way we can create a kind of creative dialogue."

Kristen and Nicolas Ghesquière in Madame Figaro French Magazine - Interview + Scans
Between star actress and fashion designer prodigy, it was obvious. These two grow complicity based on agreements of head, heart and base … No wonder the artistic director of Balenciaga has chosen to embody the beautiful image Florabotanica, the new fragrance house. Confidence artists.
There is something terribly animal about this beautiful girl with green eyes and a deep voice, to whom the world belongs.

NICOLAS GHESQUIERE TALKS KRISTEN AND FLORABOTANICA
MoodieReport Coty Prestige has unveiled the new feminine fragrance from the house of Balenciaga. Florabotanica, which is fronted by actress Kristen Stewart, will be available in travel retail worldwide from October.
The edp scent is said to combine the fantastical and ultra-contemporary aspects of the Balenciaga brand. “There is a real duality in Balenciaga, between classicism and experimentation,” noted Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière. “For this new fragrance, I wanted to explore this paradox between the pure and the enigmatic further. A few years ago, I designed this ‘floral collection’. The dresses were covered with flowers, but these flowers were neither charming nor romantic. They structured the whole silhouette. I wanted the flowers in this perfume to express the same idea.”
(...) The fragrance face is actress Kristen Stewart, best known for her role in the blockbuster Twilight saga. Balanciaga chose her for her tetchy youthfulness and rebellious femininity.
“Kristen Stewart has a real personality,” noted Ghesquière. “She captivated me when we met a few years ago. I had not forgotten her. She is the perfect embodiment of a certain idea of Balenciaga: that beauty that is both pure and uncontrollable. We met again for Florabotanica. She is totally this graceful and mysterious figure that symbolises this strange botanical garden.”
The fragrance flacon features graphic black and white stripes, as favoured by Cristóbal Balenciaga. An oversized tube plunges into the middle of the bottle in the style of a laboratory test tube. Read in full

BETTER QUALITY OF THE NEW KRISTEN BALENCIAGA FLORABOTANICA PROMO PIC
Older pics posted here and here now bigger/higher quality Grazia via kstewartfans
Basenotes Balenciaga have announced their latest fragrance, Florabotanica, which is due this September. The scent was created by perfumers, Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Hérault, who worked in collaboration with house designer, Nicolas Ghesquière. The fragrance is aimed at a younger market than Balenciaga Paris.
As announced in January, the face of the fragrance is Kristen Stewart, of whom Ghesquière said "embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence".
Florabotanica contains notes of vetiver, amber, caladium leaf, rose,carnation and mint. "At first glance, it is a very floral, almost romanticcomposition. But on closer inspection, a strongerand more obscure character can be discerned. It is a perfume that I like to think of as tender and dangerous. An enchanting and provocative scent. " says Ghesquière.
The fragrance will be available in September exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, before rolling out at other retailers and internationally. Florabotanica will be available as 30ml, 50ml and 100ml eau de toilette, with matching body products.

PREVIEW OF KRISTEN'S NEW INTERVIEW WITH FASHION MAG.COM
Fashion Magazine.com Last week Fashion Canada was in Paris to interview Kristen about being the face of Balenciaga’s new Florabotanica perfume, which launches this fall. Between attending a garden party—hosted by Stewart and the fashion house’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière—and chatting one-on-one with the actress the next day about everything from fashion to fragrance, here are three things they learned about Kristen:She loves her Balenciaga leather jacket
In Vanity Fair’s July issue cover story, the writer noted she wore it at two of their meetings. At last week’s launch party she layered the jacket over a pale blue dress, which she also paired with black booties.
She drops a lot of F-bombs
We counted six in our interview and heard a few more at dinner the night before.
She hates getting real flowers
“I would much rather keep them in the garden. Things need to move. I just feel like flowers are dead. They smell great, but I’m not a huge fan,” she told us. Note toRobert Pattinson: if you want to make Kristen your real-life bride, send her a bouquet made of twisted metal flowers modelled after the wild and dangerous-looking blooms seen in Florabotanica’s fragrance ad campaign. “Imagine getting this big metal [arrangement]… that would be awesome. I would marry whoever sent me that.”
To read more from their interview with Kristen Stewart, stay tuned for FASHION’s October issue.
