Actress Zoe Saldana is in awe of the detail that goes into making clothes because she has seen her grandmother sewing in factories in the 1960s.

Not so interested in the latest style trends, the 34-year-old appreciates outfits for the craftsmanship that has gone into them, reports contactmusic.com.

"My grandmother arrived in New York in the 1960s and worked in sewing factories and also for design houses," she told Look magazine.

"I don't see it as, 'Oh my God, this is so cool because it's the latest.' That to me is superficial. I have a respect for fabrics, buttons, embroidery, shoes, colours and textures. I'll never lose sight of that because I see my grandma in all of them," she added.
