Milla’s bag report – interview for marella S/S 2014

FOUR SEASON IN A ROW AND THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN MILLA JOVOVICH AND MARELLA GOES ON WITH A NEW SERIES OF VERY SUMMERY BAGS. ENTHUSIASTIC, PASSIONATE AND ALWAYS ACCURATE IN EVERY DETAIL, MILLA LOVES TO TELL HER EXPERIENCE WITH MARELLA’S CREATIVE TEAM.

“Marella has a great respect for women who want to feel better and this respect for me is very important. We all know each other more and often my personal style was their starting point.”

WHAT WAS THIS FOURTH COLLABORATION WITH MARELLA LIKE?
“Amazing! It gets better every season”

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SPRING SUMMER MILLA’S BAG AND THE AUTUMN WINTER COLLECTION?
“This season colors make the difference and we updated the clasp, with ton sur ton lacquer details, but the real novelty is that we came up with a smaller version, perfect for the evening. It’s still Milla’s Bag, but baby. It’s very practical and elegant”.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THE PERFECT BAG?
“The perfect bag is timeless. You wear it today and tomorrow. Milla ‘s Bags are perfect for all seasons”.

MILLA, TROPIC, LAGOON: WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THESE NAMES FOR THE BAGS?
“Milla is dedicated to me, of course, white with metal details and python print. The colors of the other two are inspired by holidays and have a patchwork of different textures. Tropic is the large model and Lagoon the mini.”

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THE COLORS?
“They are colors that remind me of Hawaii. They are a break from the day-to-day grind in the city. They immediately take me to an island resort.”

STRONG COLORS MIGHT BE HARD TO MATCH. ANY ADVICE?
“The turquoise bag is great with pink or yellow shoes. It’s my idea of color-blocking. Imagine it with a black outfit, for example with a Smart Jacket.”

TELL US ABOUT THE BAG THAT BEARS YOUR NAME?
“Beautiful, made of python-print leather. It’s very elegant, but simple and you can wear it with anything”.

AND THE FUCHSIA BAG?
“I would match the fuchsia bag with the cream ankle boots with metal heels. Fuchsia is great with beige tones. If the bag is the larger fuchsia one, maybe you should wear it with something simple”.

WHO IS MARELLA’S WOMAN?
“Me! I am the woman of Marella. Almost every working woman. To be honest every working mom. I am one of them. I want statement pieces, but easy to wear, to look good in and easy”.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FASHION TRENDS TO YOU?
“As all women, I like fashion. What you wear reflects your personality. It’s important to show respect for yourself and if you want to project a positive image, your appearance helps”.

YOU’RE ALWAYS SO WELL-DRESSED, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT TO WEAR?
“I grew up in fashion, I worked with some of the best designers, photographers and art directors. At the end of the day, what matters to me is being comfortable and at ease with what I’m wearing, otherwise if you don’t feel good, discomfort prevails. If you feel more comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt, go to a party dressed like that. It’s your personality that needs to shine and clothes are just complementary”.
