A Moment with...Diane Kruger
The chic actress on her fall wish list, her style icons, and how Jason Wu is "like Chanel"
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
(LOS ANGELES) Designer Jason Wu caused a stylish stir at Neiman Marcus on Tuesday night, drawing a bevy of beauties to swoon over his most recent collection in Beverly Hills. Hosting the fête, Diane Kruger looked impeccable in a one-shouldered confection by the designer, and took a few moments with The Daily to talk shop.
JENNIFER CHAN
Tell us about your relationship with Jason and why you were interested in hosting tonight's party.
I love Jason. He's made a couple of really gorgeous dresses for me over the last few months. I think every dress he's ever made fits really great. I couldn't pick a favorite...every dress he does is sexy yet traditional. It appeals to young girls, but also to a older customer, too. He's like Chanel in that way.
How were you first introduced to Jason?
Well, he introduced himself to me, actually! I liked a dress from his collection for Cannes and my publicist called up and asked about it. Before I knew it, he showed up with the dress and fitted me for it right then and there. I thought it was so refreshing, you know?
What is it about his pieces that draws you to his collection?
They fit me really well and are really well-made. They don't unravel at the end of the night...because that happens a lot! They're flirty and they're timeless.
What are you currently coveting for fall?
Ohh what do I like? Well I love his dresses, of course, and his daywear is really great. Chanel has a fantastic collection, and I am unconditionally a Chanel lover. I love Chloé this season. I very much want a pair of menswear trousers.
Who has great style in Hollywood?
Honestly, there are a lot of girls who have great style, but I tend to be attracted to girls who have something that I don't personally want to emulate. Like Agyness Deyn...she wears stuff that I would never wear, but it's so authentic and sincere, that it inspires me to find my own style. I don't want to look like anyone else, quite frankly. I try not to follow fashion.
How has your style changed over the years?
I think you evolve depending on whatever message you're trying to put out. You wear a different kind of dress to the Cannes Festival than you wear to the Oscars. I try to be appropriate with whatever I'm promoting....depending on the movie, I can look flirty or I can look very serious.
What is the one fashion item and beauty item you cant live without?
(Laughs.) Honestly, everything is replaceable! There is nothing that I can't live without.
