If Zoë Kravitz took her first steps in the world of fashion, she was quickly caught up by the influences of her childhood: music and comedy. “My mother and my grandmother were actresses, and I knew I was going to do this since I was super young. I would put on shows at my grandparents’ house and sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow in the living room. J I was in drama club and choir, and I knew every word to Grease.”she confides to Teen Vogue.

As a woman in general, and also in this industry, I have seen some pretty wild behavior from the opposite sex”she explains to Deadline.
