In the latest issue of CR Fashion Book, Jolie opened up about her creative venture, Atelier Jolie.
The Oscar winner reflected on the fashion industry, saying, "Over the years, I've seen fashion dictated by trends and anointed arbiters of taste. But to look inward and dress for oneself—to truly express oneself with creativity and resourcefulness—is a useful rebellion in this modern age."
While known for her serious demeanor, Jolie revealed her lighter side: "I like to be silly and love good standup comedy."
She expressed excitement for Atelier Jolie, saying it's "thrilling to see what unfolds when artists come together to collaborate."
Jolie also discussed the reason why she started the fashion house.
"My intention was to build a space—a home, really—for people to create and be inspired," she explained. "The house is comprised of artists and designers from around the world, and at the heart is an invitation to re-engage in design and build community."
Angelina Jolie Reflects On Her Mother's Influence And Commitment To Advocacy For Refugees
During her interview, Jolie shared that her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, remains a driving influence in her life.
"My mother was a very globally minded, thoughtful person who often spoke to me about injustice," the actress said. "When I was in my twenties, I started to travel and realized how much I had not been taught in school or was aware of."
She continued, "I began my education, or reeducation rather, then. I began traveling to areas of conflict and post-conflict. Listening. Learning. My world view is very much shaped by refugee families, and I have so much respect for them."
"I hate it when I see the media and politicians using these families for their own gain," Jolie added, per Daily Mail. "No one would choose that life. We are honored to have Eat Off Beat in residence. They are a refugee chef collective, and wonderful to work with."
When asked about her guiding principles, Jolie said, "I don't have a motto, but freedom has always been important to me. For myself and others."

She Plans To Leave Los Angeles When Her Twins Turn 18
During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie spoke about her plans to leave Los Angeles, travel the world, pursue her career, and be surrounded by her loved ones.
The actress revealed that although she's done with LA, she can't leave because of her ongoing divorce battle with Brad Pitt and their custody agreement regarding their kids.
The agreement states that Pitt has visitation rights to their youngest kids, Vivienne and Knox, which means she can't move away with them.
However, Jolie will be free to leave LA once they turn 18 in July 2026. The agreement only applies to the twins, as their four other kids are already adults.
During the interview, Jolie said, "I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave."
