Zoe Saldana Reveals Her Fashionable Ancestry For Gotham Magazine

Gotham Mag caught up with the beauty to talk fashion and what she is looking forward to in her life. 

On her first memory of fashion:



“My grandmother and great grandmother were seamstresses their whole lives, so when my grandmother moved to New York in the ’60s, she worked for design houses throughout the city. She really loved fabrics and textiles, so it was natural to my family. Fashion wasn’t like a religion to us, but it is in my ancestry. It was never about luxury; it was about art.”



On the favorite piece of clothing she owns:
 

“There’s this Azzedine Alaia dress I have that makes me feel like I am collecting art. Collecting from certain designers is like collecting art and will always remain as memorable as the very first Chanel bag that I bought myself.”

On her contemporaries with a kindred sense of style:


“Sienna Miller, Julianne Moore, these kind of effortless beauties. Diane Kruger. I just love looking at their styles and feeling inspired by their choices.”
