Not sure whether I believe some of this – Rob is about to launch his own line of clothing? Well he did say years ago that he liked designing women’s clothes but then again we know Rob is the King of Clickbait. I also suspect an increase in traffic at LA stores Sleeper and Bearded Beagle. Here is a very rough translation:

UNDER THE LENS of the paparazzi or the lights of the red carpet, the allure of Robert Pattinson’s look is blowing in the opposite direction. Baggys, vintage T-shirt, camouflage hoodies, beanie, skate sneakers … versus tuxedos shorts, Luke Skywalker fawn coat, shine and transparent. On the screen as in the city, the English actor catapulted to stardom thanks to Twilight, polished by James Gray, David Cronenberg, Christopher Nolan and soon on the verge of donning the cape of Batman, dares everything. He was chosen by Kim Jones, artistic director of Dior Homme, to embody the Modern Tailoring collection, an ideal wardrobe reduced to the essentials (three jackets, three pants), a mix of couture and street. A fashion enthusiast, he might even launch his own line of clothes …

What are the three basics of your wardrobe?
A beanie, a sublimely knitted hoodie and another very soft gray from Dior.

What is your favourite piece of clothing?
I have a hard time naming just one. Recently, I’ve been sorting through my wardrobe and have been unable to part with some pieces that I know I’ll never wear. Including because some of them are in an advanced state of decomposition. I keep them only for their sentimental value, for what they remind me of. I’m not very nostalgic by nature but I like the idea that a piece of clothing or an object is imprinted with a memory.

Your favorite materials?
Cashmere, and more recently linen.

Which men, in your eyes, embody elegance?
Alain Delon and Tupac Shakur.

Do you have a taboo garment?
I’m not afraid of anything, I’m open to everything…

What do you wear to sleep?
My anti-noise night mask. It’s like a sensory deprivation chamber, I can listen to a talk show and then fall asleep with a snap of my fingers.

Where do you shop?
Because of the confinement and filming, online sites have become my go-to places.

Do you have any vintage addresses to share?
There’s this little store in Los Angeles called Sleeper. It’s cool, you go down to the basement, which is classic in London, but not so much in LA. The selection is very sharp. Bearded Beagle, also in L.A offers a great selection.

Do you wear jewelry, watches?
An ankle chain.

Do you have a grooming routine?
I just discovered baths with magnesium salts. I’m crazy about it.

What bag do you carry on a daily basis? And what do you find inside?
A backpack in which I often have a script, my iPad or my computer, a notebook to take notes, a book and the usual little mess found at the bottom of bags.

Are you more loafers, derbies, boots or sneakers?
I love sneakers and can get stuck on one particular pair. When the brand stops producing them, I spend an inordinate amount of time on clearance sites or eBay to find them. And I love the Air Dior that Kim Jones gave me.

How would you define your relationship with Kim Jones, by the way ?
Kim and I hit it off very quickly and it was only after we started working together that I discovered we grew up in the same neighborhood in London. Literally a block away from each other. This is one of the many elements that bring us together both personally and professionally.

What is it about his work for Dior that appeals to me?
Kim creates with ease and grace – rare qualities of great masters and geniuses. Like when you watch a dancer doing the most difficult movement and you see only ease and lightness. Kim also has a great sense of humor and a taste for risk. I can tell you that I like it.
