Holy crap, y'all, there is a reason this interview is being mocked all around the internet. Not only is it completely ridiculous but also torturous to watch. Kristen Stewart bumbles her way through various questions about the fragrance, fashion and French style all the while insulting numerous people and raising many other questions, namely "Why would anyone choose to have Kristen Stewart as the face of their high-fashion brand?" Even Kristen Stewart must be wondering that as she makes comments about how the perfume doesn't smell old lady-ish, how French people really are stereotyped and how she never thinks about fashion. Despite the fact that she drops Nicolas Ghesquière's name many times it is clear she doesn't have a bloody clue what she is talking about. Now, I don't like Kristen Stewart and I certainly do not like her "I'm too cool and individual to care about fashion, or, you know, smiling" attitude. The fact is, no matter how individual she thinks she is, she has received an amount of money that most of us can only dream of to represent a brand. Sure, we can criticize high fashion but like anything else it is a fantasy, it is an idea, and it's Kristen Stewart's job to sell that brand, something she did an absolutely horrible job of. If she wants to go home and fart around, drink beer and watch sports, that's her prerogative but when she's in a live interview for a perfume like this she should be elegant, classy and have a modicum of respect for her fans and for Balenciaga. Yes, some of the questions were obviously difficult for her but would those questions have been difficult for someone else, someone a bit more mature, a bit more interested in actually having their face as the face of a prestigious company like this? That said, it's a bit hard to blame Kristen Stewart for everything here. She clearly needed some guidance on how to answer the questions and her "people" or friends and family or, for heaven's sake the people at Florabotanica can, perhaps, be blamed for not counselling her a bit on how to act (ie: not to spend the whole interview acting like you are in an advert for restless leg syndrome) and what to say. Even if the questions really were a surprise (doubtful) they weren't surprising and she could have been advised on how to answer them or similar questions.
