Uuuuund - was war eure Reaktion auf diese Cover? 😝 Bei mir war es eine Mischung aus diesen GIFs:
Weitere Bilder vom Photoshooting sprechen ebenfalls für sich ;)
Sicherlich ist dies eine Seite, die wir so von Rob bisher nicht gesehen haben. Auch wenn die Outfits & vor allem die Perücken und das Make-Up gewöhnungsbedürftig sind, fand ich es dann doch irgendwie cool, das Rob zu so etwas bereit war. Schließlich ist er Schauspieler ;) Ein wenig erinnerte mich das Shooting auch an diesen herrlichen Moment aus Wasser für die Elefanten:
Laut dem Magazine fungierte Rob sogar als Creative Director dieses Photoshootings, also der Großteil der Ideen zu Outfit & Styling kam von ihm. EOnline hat ihn dazu genauer befragt:
Robert Pattinson: I wanted the theme of the Wonderland issue to be something like ‘The Nature of Reality’ and contrast people whose sole purpose seems to be to pervert reality with a cross-section of people like you, who seem to have a more healthy and comprehensive understanding of it.
Yuval Noah Harari: I think that in a way you’re in the business of creating reality, at least from my viewpoint as a historian and philosopher. Images and fantasies and fictions basically rule the world. The tools we use are built by engineers and technicians and chemists and physicists, but the aims that we use these tools for, they are basically our dreams. So many people spend all their lives chasing a dream that was implanted in their minds by some movie, TV series, poem, novel, whatever – of course it is rarely just one, you can’t create a culture based on just one piece of art. I’m fascinated by the way that art and fiction are really the movers and shakers of the world.
RP: I loved what you said about the picture of Obama compared to the picture of Louis XIV [in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind]. What did you say about that?
YNH: How male fashion has changed so much. What is feminine dress and what is masculine dress changes so much in history. Wearing a wig and high heels and things like that, this was very masculine in 17th or 18th century Europe. Today maybe it’s a bit different, but for most of the 20th and 21st centuries masculine dress, at least in the West, is very low-key and grey and women are the flamboyant gender and men are much more reserved. This is actually an abnormality for much of history: men dressed in a much more flamboyant way than the women and certainly in the animal kingdom, in most mammals and birds, the males are far more colourful and flamboyant than the females.
RP: What do you think predicated that in the 20th century then?
YNH: I’m not an expert in fashion history! One of my best guesses would be that this is partly to do with the Industrial Revolution and new ideals. You have for example the socialist ideals of equality coming up in the 19th and 20th century and what you see is that the working outfits of lower classes are becoming the status symbols. Jeans were invented as the working outfit for working class people because of their strong material. Today we are still there basically. Even the richest people in the world, if you go to Silicon Valley and look at Elon Musk and Bill Gates, they are very, very low-key. They wear simple T-shirts and flip-flops.
Bei den vielen vielen Photoshootings, die wir mit Rob schon erleben durften, werden wir uns an dieses bestimmt lange erinnern :D
