ana kraš + devendra banhart

“In the winter of 2011, photographer and furniture designer Ana Kraš flew from her home in Belgrade( Serbia) to Los Angeles, where she’d been sent by a European magazine to photograph artist-musician Devendra Banhart. Within five minutes, he asked her to marry him. Despite her initial impulse to flee, she stayed—and the two have been together ever since. “

Kada pogledate Anu i Devendru 2gether, ako ste i pomislili da njihovu priču proglasite naučnom fantastikom ili izgubljenom bajkom braće Grim, odustali ste. 
Jer, možda se početak može izrežirati ali ljubav,teško.  
U njihovom kliku, ili još bolje reći - "krašu",  postoji nešto autentično i savršeno, lepršavo i jednostavno. Ana, nalik nežnoj lepotici iz šezdesetih. Devendra, nalik modernom Robinzonu Krusou.  

ANA KRAŠ
Prelepa Ana je multikreativac - fotograf, dizajner nameštaja i ilustrator. Rođena je u Beogradu 1984. godine gde je završila Fakultet primenjene umetnosti. Odmah nakon studija radila je za nekoliko domaćih kompanija u domenu dizajna nameštaja i grafičkog dizajna. Pažnju je skrenula svojim jednostavnim, retro nameštajem poput My lamp i Noodle stočića. Do sada je svoje radove predstavila na nekoliko svetskih sajmova. Živi i radi u Los Anđelesu. 

DEVENDRA BANHART  

Venecuelansko-američki mužičar rođen je 1981. godine u Hjustonu. Iako je započeo umetničke studije na Umetničkom institutu u San Francisku, 1998. godine napušta ih zarad muzike. Svoj debitantski album " Oh Me, oh My" izdaje 2002. godine. Njegova muzika iako okarakterisana kao freak-indie folk našla je put do publike a njegov najnoviji album "Mala" najavljen je za proleće 2013. godine. 

Upravo Ana i Devendra našli su se među parovima koji su odabrani za lookbook francuskog brenda "The Kooples ". Lookbook za autumn/ winter 2012" predstavljen je kao miks njujorškog roka i pariskog šika.  

intimnije i daleko romantičnije su njihove spontane i sweet....

u međivremenu oboje su dali zanimljive intervju.

Ana za sajt avantgarddiaries:

a Devendra za Pitchfork:

Pitchfork: I read that you asked Ana to marry you the first day you met her.

DB: I did. It's the first thing I said to her. It was not well-received, it really pissed her off. We met because she was supposed to shoot the interior of my house for this magazine calledApartamento, but she still hasn't shot the fucking thing. As far as the proposal, I thought, "If she says yes, this is going to be so cool if we do get married, and if we don't, who cares?" But she doesn't see how awesome and charming it is that we're actually getting married.

Pitchfork: Have you ever instantly proposed to someone like that before?

DB: [sarcastically] Yeah, I say that every time. [laughs]

Pitchfork: Well, why her then?

DB: I was just so shocked. I couldn't believe this person was in my house. She's quite stunning, easy on the eyes. So it just kind of flopped out, very casually. And I understand how it was a real turn off for her. I had to work hard to make up for that one. But she came to take the photos and she just stayed. We haven't been apart since that day.
