At age 77, Jane Fonda makes a smashing impression on the cover of W Magazine’s June 2015 issue. ‘It’s a hoot that, at my age, people are calling me a fashion icon,’ Fonda says as she showcases her famous figure in Lanvin, Nina Ricci and a Giambattista Valli dress and cape.
Fonda explains that she has an ambivalent relationship with fashion om ‘See Jane Run … and Run and Run’
Truthfully, my relationship to fashion has always been strained. When I was starting out as an actress in New York, I worked as a model because I needed to pay for acting classes. But I didn’t have what it took to be a model. I hated all the emphasis on how I looked, and I never paid much attention to clothes.
Fonda is styled by Edward Enninful and lensed by Steven Meisel. Read her in-depth interview with Lynn Hirschberg. Note also that Jane Fonda was one of two recipients of the first-ever Women in Motion awards, presented in Cannes by Kering CEO François-HenriPinault.
