GRAZIA: How was your experience at the Cannes Film Festival? You looked so beautiful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SOO JOO PARK: L\u2019Oreal Paris is a long time partner of Cannes Film Festival, and as a global ambassador, I\u2019m invited to walk the red carpet each year. Walking the Cannes red carpet this time was really special, especially after a year long pause.<\/p>\n

Tell us about shooting Sportmax\u2019s Fall Winter 21 Denim Culture Collection<\/a>. We <\/strong>feel like this collection\u2019s aesthetic really aligns with your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes indeed! And I felt so honored to be an inspiration for a collection that has so much character and effortless style. We shot the campaign in the centre of Milan, with the cityscape behind us…it felt urban but dreamy. I couldn\u2019t believe that I returned to Milan for the first time in a year since the lockdown!<\/p>\n

What are your top three favorite pieces in the Sportmax Denim Culture FW21 <\/a><\/strong>collection<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fringe trio – top, pants, and dress. The collection was inspired by the roaring 20s, and I can see the reference to flapper dresses reintroduced in denim for the new millennium.<\/p>\n

Could you tell us something about the “behind the scene” of the Sportmax Denim Culture FW21 capsule collection<\/a> shooting? <\/strong><\/p>\n

We shot the campaign in the centre of Milan, with the cityscape behind us\u2026it felt urban but dreamy. I couldn\u2019t believe that I returned to Milan for the first time in a year since lockdown!<\/p>\n

Do you think a denimwear item has to be always available in the perfect wardrobe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denim is a big part of my wardrobe. I say it\u2019s like fine wine – it gets better with age, creating unique patina and fit that\u2019s unique. I love them not only as classic jeans pants, but also in many different iterations, like corsets, coats, skirts, dresses.<\/p>\n

How would you describe your style?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to know and keep my pulse on trends, but not necessarily follow. Having a style is more ubiquitous and impactful. To me, style is about understanding and having a point of view in how you wear and live in your clothes.<\/p>\n

How do you style up an outfit for the day? And how long do you spend doing <\/strong>this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taken more than an hour trying clothes while deciding on an outfit all just to wear a simple tee and jeans in the end because I just wasn\u2019t feeling it. It happens more often than not! that\u2019s why it\u2019s good to think and have some go-to looks in advance, it gives me less stress. I\u2019ve learned to visualize and map out my favorite pieces and basic staples of the moment, and mix them around in my head. But obviously some days I like to be more of the moment, even if it takes an hour. It\u2019s all fun.<\/p>\n
