I really want to stray away from "basic" questions and try to do something more creative to provide actual content for viewers rather than answers they can find from any other source.
I took a look at Olivier Rousteing's interview with British Vogue for further inspiration. I chose to emulate this one because of how the questions flowed effortlessly and were more open-ended questions. "Describe the people you dress", "Is your perspective of fashion ever affected by your age?", "If you had a theme song, what would it be?", "Do you believe being active in social media is key to becoming successful?" are some of the questions I would love to ask, besides the necessary background info.
Huffington Post followed a similar format by first describing the setting (in this case, Catherine Litke's store) and then the questions. "When did you know you wanted to be a fashion designer?", "Is there a face to your brand?", "How do you balance creativity with commerce?", "Who inspires you most?", "Walk me through your creative process".
I really enjoy Vogue's take on interviews by doing dialogue-heavy interviews with big designers. It not only gives the designers a chance to take full control of the interview but it shows the thought process behind their decisions and shows their passion.
I'm also seriously intrigued by Vogue's quick fire 73 questions with some of fashion's most iconic people, such as this one with Victoria Beckham while she's running through her store. This type of "challenge" if you will is more fun as it gives the person less time to think and more of an instinct response.
"What's your biggest goal for 2015?", "If you could do a duet with any person, who would it be?", "If you could tell your 13-year-old-self something, what would it be?", "What's your favorite color?", "If your life was a movie, what would the title be?"
I think I'm leaning more towards the quick-fire questions just because of how surprising and quirky they are.
