Sitting at the intersection of streetwear and luxury, Highsnobiety [IG] is so worth watching. Today the Zalando-owned media brand delivers a fashion story featuring Pamela Anderson, now 56 years old.

If Highsnobiety is busy reinventing what defines a successful media landscape in a challenging business-world, Pamela Anderson is at work with a slow living, brilliantly-executed reinvention of her famous life as a top Playboy Bunny. Her personal evolution story is one with defined by sincerity and personal integrity.

More Interesting with Age

“My face gets more interesting with age,” says Pamela Anderson, speaking about her fashion story for Issue 34 of Highsnobiety Magazine.⁠

Fast-forward to now, and Pamela Anderson wears no makeup to her Highsnobiety interview ‘Mother’ with Willa Bennett.

No Makeup is a ‘Healing Experience’

She calls her recent hiatus from glam a “healing experience,” one that’s also fueling a comeback that began with a series of makeup-less appearances and quickly translated into collaborations, viral fashion campaigns, and brand deals. ⁠

In her interview Anderson takes on several keep themes, but success is center stage — and so is love and relationships:

“Success is living your life as you want. I feel successful because I’ve overcome and gotten through certain things and feelings. And this drives my kids nuts because my kids are ambitious. They’re calculated. They’re men. They’re young, and they have all this passion. But they’re materialistic, and I keep going, ‘Eh, it’ll pass.’”

The digital interplay between Bennett and Anderson flourishes in the moment, with Bennett gently challenging the talent when she says: “I know nothing when it comes to relationships.”

Knowing Nothing About Successful Relationships

Bennett queries her self-alleged lack of knowledge about relationships after five marriages.

. . . Anderson defaults to wisdom. “It’s important to remember that breakup tears aren’t just about that person. They’re about your whole life… Look, it’s not supposed to be easy. Relationships are one of the hardest things you can throw yourself into.” She stops and checks herself again, which I now recognize as one of her talents.

AOC really likes Bennett’s interview style generally and in summation about Pamela Anderson. She uses the word ‘authentic’ — a word we avoid now — but also the phrase “quite self-aware.” Well done, ladies.
