    Tavi Gevinson and Emma Watson Discuss Beyonce


    Girls' heads everywhere are exploding this morning, because Tavi Gevinson's been interviewed by ex-Hogwarts indie gal Emma Watson, and together, they discuss Beyonce. The talk picks up where the girls left off from their Tavi-led interview for Rookie last year. As you would expect from these two geniuses, talking about Beyonce's new album quickly turns to concepts of sexuality, empowerment and other good things fairly quickly. Here are a few key points from the interview. We actively encourage discussing these in your next weekly Bey meeting.

    On Bey sexuality:
    Emma: "I felt her message felt very conflicted in the sense that on the one hand she is putting herself in a category of a feminist, you know this very strong woman and she has that beautiful speech in one of her songs but then the camera, it felt very male, such a male voyeuristic experience of her."
    Tavi: "I would not read Miley's behaviour as empowering, but with Beyonce's album, I just felt such a sense of being obsessed with it and read all the interviews and whatever, so I felt that she was in control of it and I also think that when she holds herself up in that way she is changing the standard of what we think of as beautiful in the centre of beauty, or sexually desirable and she expands it to include someone like herself, who is a woman of colour, and I find that so key."

    On Bey feminism:
    Emma: "I can be a feminist, I can be an intellectual, I can be all these other things but I can also be okay with my feminity and being pretty and with all these things that I thought, you know, would negate my message or negate what I am about. That really is the most interesting thing about the album. It is so inclusive and puts feminism and female empowerment on such a broad spectrum."
    Tavi: "It's not perfect and Beyonce is not perfect even though she is kind of a badass but I think it is very generous of her to work these things out publically, to you know, have the songs that include the assemble of like a Ted Talk about feminism. I think it is very generous of her to let us see her relationship to feminism publically and I think that if we are being really nit-picky there are definitely contradictions, but I'm mostly just so thankful that album exists and for me it felt like real progress."

     

    Something we can all agree on is Tavi's comment to round out the interview, "I am so glad you asked me about this because I want to be Beyonce's scholar and just talk about her all the time." We'll see you in class, Tavi!

    That what I found.



    Tavi Gevinson Told Emma Watson She Doesn’t Want to Edit Vogue

    Masthead-climbers, rest assured: Editorial wunderkind Tavi Gevinson would rather be a Beyoncé scholar than the editor-in-chief of Vogue. Or so she revealed over the course of a 3,500-word, candidly conflicted interview with actress Emma Watson in Wonderland Magazine. First, Watson was conflicted on Gevinson’s behalf: She wants Gevinson to be the editor ofVogue one day, but she also would “hate to see [her] having to conform in any way?†To which Gevinson replied that she, too, has complicated feelings about the successful career she's launched with Rookie:

     

    "For the sake of our community it is really important to be this online accessible publication ... [N]ot that anyone is kind of knocking on my door right now but I don’t think I’d ever want to be like heading a magazine that has this legacy that goes back for so many decades. I’d maybe rather be a friend with that editor-in-chief and you know like send them links to things."

     

    Naturally, Gevinson and Watson are both obsessed with Beyoncé’s new album — but also conflicted! Watson said:

     

    “As I was watching [the videos] I felt very conflicted, I felt her message felt very conflicted in the sense that on the one hand she is putting herself in a category of a feminist, but then the camera, it felt very male, such a male voyeuristic experience of her and I just wondered if you had thoughts about that or if you had any of your own thoughts about any of it really …â€

    Gevinson had a lot of her own thoughts about all of it. Here’s a sampling:

     

    “Beyoncé is not perfect even though she is kind of a badass but I think it is very generous of her to work these things out publicly, to you know, have the songs that include the sample of like a Ted Talk about feminism. I think it is very generous of her to let us see her relationship to feminism publicly and I think that if we are being really nit-picky there are definitely contradictions, but I’m mostly just so thankful that album exists and for me it felt like real progress ...

    “I think she also makes it as known as she can without putting it in her music that her dad was her manager, she fired him, she started her own company, and she calls the shots. When I watch this album I feel like she is truly displaying her own sense of agency and it is hard to look at a lot of other pop stars right now and say the same, 
    which I don’t mean to sound condescending, and I’m obviously not one to argue that young women have self-awareness or autonomy but I do think there is something to be said for seeing Beyoncé’s sexuality being put into the context of a video with her kid in the Grown Woman video it feels like she is so in control, like you said.

    “I am so glad you asked me about this because I want to be Beyoncé’s scholar and just talk about her all the time.â€

    so we must stop wearing Nike , Adidas , Puma , shoes. And stop uses a Apple stuff etc. The company like this ones use cheap workers in Africa for ages now and nobody talk about it. Why? Well maybe because they are big corporation. Or something else. 

     

    And may be Emma Team make mistake sometimes too. Everybody make mistakes that is human. And I don't see this mistake like big big fail in Emma's image or career. Don't forget that emma isn't stupid person, or naive. She makes mistake like normal person as well.   

     

    But really ask yourself question. When you do shopping do you check every wardrobe original production country or you just buy them because the company is Nike or Adidas so is German 100%. But is not. 

     

    Sorry guys this is how I see it.

    Emma Watson Nominated for 2014 British Fashion Award

    The 2014 British Fashion Award nominees are in, and most of the list probably won’t surprise you.


    The picks for most stylish stars across the pond included the usual suspects, such as Emma Watson, Cara Delevingne, Benedict Cumberbatch and Idris Elba. But there was one always impeccably dressed star who was missing: Kate Middleton!


    So why was the duchess left without a nomination? The British Fashion Awards included the royal in last year’s honors, and this year they’re celebrating a fresh group of nominees.


    Watson has been ruling the red carpet since she was a teen. The actress is always one to watch at award shows, frequently sporting daring and unexpected choices—like the crimson Dior frock she wore over black cigarette pants and cobalt pumps at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards.


    The British Fashion Council hand-selected this year’s crop of potential Fashion Award winners, but the awards are actually decided by members of the public. You can vote for your most stylish celeb on the British Fashion Awards website.
