Amayzine Questionnaire
Anna Nooshin
Yes, it's snowing today, but I'm giving you some sun. Anna Nooshin launched her Swim Collection together with Hunkemöller her Swim Collection. And that calls for an Amayzine Questionnaire.
Anna, first things first. Your new collection?
“It had to be different from the lingerie line, but not too different. I really wanted the idea of being in a desert, road trip-like as in a western movie. The Mexican vibe. You get in the car, put on a hat and drive off, all very relaxed. I often hear: I have big or small breasts, does it fit? It's quite basic and that's why I think it suits everyone. You just have to step out of your comfort zone and try it. I want to convey with everything I do that it's okay to feel like a woman. And that also means being sexy in a bikini, no matter how intelligent and smart you are.”
What is your favorite from the collection?
“The bikini with the embroidered roses.”
Your nickname?
“Antje.”
Your fashion icon?
“Monique Waijenberg, my stylist. And Heleen Hulsmann and Leandra Medine.”
First job?
“In a cactus nursery.”
“Calories never play a role.”
Your favourite among shops?
“Salon Heleen Hulsmann.”
What do you eat when calories are not a factor?
“Calories never play a role. You just have to eat what you want. Pizza.”
One confession…
“I once got my heel stuck in the escalator on a date, but I pretended everything was okay. I walked around all night with bloody feet. I'm incredibly clumsy and always covered in bruises.”
And what do you do when no one is home?
“Lying in the same position on the couch for a long time, with my coat on. Really a long time, preferably just four hours in a row.”
Your very first designer piece?
“My first was a Mulberry bag, but that was really a hundred years ago. What I still find beautiful? My Chanel bag.”
Do you have a beauty secret?
“Leave everything alone. Use as little as possible and mess around.”
Who would you like to have coffee with?
“Yes, I should give a very intellectual answer, but I think a Tom Hardy or a Bieber.”
No one knows this about you?
“I have quite a few obsessive-compulsive tendencies and I'm not completely on track in that area.”
Which item from your closet do you wear the most?
“My vintage Levi's 501, which is very old and only cost thirty euros.”
Ultimate moment of relaxation?
“That moment when I come home and flop down in my coat. And then it's so nice and warm and I prefer to stay like that, with my phone.”
Your spirit animal?
“Tupac, I've been a fan since I was twelve. I had posters of him, and I still have them. A piece of art on the wall.”
You want a ticket to?
“I really want to go to Chile actually.”
“Stop burdening me.”
Name the last three things you bought:
“In Bali, I bought quite a few off-shoulder tops, I think literally three.”
What are the first three hits when you Google yourself?
“I don't Google myself, but I do have an alert set up. What would it be? Instagram, I think.”
Favorite movie/book/series/music of all time?
“Oh, movie: Legends of the Fall and Anna Karenina I can always read again. I'm a film lover, because Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Kids are also favorites.”
If your bag could talk, what would she tell us?
“Stop burdening me. I always try to push the limit of how far she can go and I'm really not nice to her. Be a little nicer to me, she would say.”
What is on your bucket list?
“I actually always do everything I want. Oh, but now I do want to live in a hotel for a month.”
With whom would you like to swap for a day?
“With Jennifer Lopez.”
Fashion rule you live by?
“Don't care if others think it's nice.”
