This episode of the run-through is

0:03

brought to you by eBay. I'm

0:05

Arden Fanning Andrews Vogue's beauty editor

0:07

at large. Everyone's talking about tassels

0:09

right now, and that's the moment that I

0:12

end up typing it into eBay. I found

0:14

the perfect vintage triple-chain belt with

0:16

golden tassels, and it just looks

0:18

so elegant, timeless, and it's on

0:20

the way in the mail to

0:22

me thanks to eBay. This

0:30

is the run-through. I'm Play Mel

0:32

and we are continuing our fashion

0:34

week coverage with a special episode

0:37

with model Amelia Gray She spoke

0:39

to Vogue's willow Lindley and Irene

0:41

Kim and it was such a

0:44

treat. I loved listening to this

0:46

They really painted an incredible scene

0:48

of Amelia being such a good

0:51

sport trying on the incredible undercover

0:53

light up terrarium dress that she

0:55

wore to last year's Met Gala.

0:57

I think a screwdriver was involved

1:00

for Willow, not the cocktail. And

1:02

they also chatted about the incredible

1:04

fashion shows she's walked in, her

1:07

dream runway she would like to

1:09

walk, and also what it's like

1:11

dating as a model. Frought,

1:13

in fact. Amelia, we are so

1:15

happy to have you here at the

1:17

studio. I'm very happy to see you.

1:20

Welcome, it's great to see you again.

1:22

When we first met, actually in this building. Was

1:24

that the first time you'd come to the building?

1:26

Okay, so the first time Amelia and I met,

1:28

we had Amelia come to the World Trade Center

1:30

for the first time and it was ahead of

1:32

the Met Gala last year. It was three days

1:34

ahead of the Met Gala. It was three days

1:36

ahead of the Met Gala. You were fresh off

1:38

a flight from Chanel. Marseille? Yep, yep. And

1:41

we had quite a dress for you to

1:43

try not. The first time I met you,

1:45

you were pretty much on the floor under

1:47

the floor under my floor under my dress.

1:49

Under my dress. Under my dress. Exactly. And

1:51

most dresses don't require screwdrivers in my, you

1:54

know, I've been evoked for 10 years. It

1:56

was the first time I had to ask

1:58

maintenance for a screwdriver. Screwdrivers or... beautiful

2:00

blonde woman on the floor. Looking

2:02

up your skirt. Hi, nice to

2:04

meet you. It's so nice to

2:06

Amelia. Yeah. And Amelia was such

2:08

a trooper because that dress was

2:10

a terrarium. It was an undercover

2:12

dress that was in the exhibition.

2:14

It was actually the dress that

2:16

was the cover of the catalog

2:18

too, which was very impressive. But

2:21

it was an actual terrarium. Actual.

2:23

plexiglass or plastic or a variety

2:25

of things. And you kindly held

2:27

it up while I screwed you

2:29

in from a variety of... Gotta

2:31

help a sister out. You know, and you

2:33

held it together well. And then, do you

2:35

remember what we did after we screwed in

2:37

the dress? We turned the lights on. Well,

2:39

no, we couldn't turn the lights on.

2:41

So there were electrical strips in the

2:44

dress that we couldn't figure out to

2:46

turn on, but we made you go

2:48

to the cafeteria and practice walking up

2:50

and down the stairs. Right. Right. They

2:52

told me don't go to the cafeteria

2:55

because they were like someone's gonna be

2:57

in their metgal off it and you

2:59

can't look. But you know what? It's

3:01

interesting because I don't think many people

3:03

know like the story behind that met

3:06

look and it's interesting that right now

3:08

what is it now it's February and

3:10

I'm already having conversations of the met

3:12

blessed by the way blessed dreams come

3:15

true but last year I didn't have

3:17

conversations about the met until... four days

3:19

before the Met, in which I was

3:22

told that I needed to fly to

3:24

New York and try on this dress.

3:26

Crazy. And that if the dress fit

3:28

me, then I could go. Yes. Very

3:31

Cinderella. I didn't know that they had

3:33

really broken it down that much. Oh,

3:35

they broke it down. Yes. And I

3:37

was just like, you know what? If

3:39

it's meant to be, it's going to

3:41

be. I had no idea what to

3:43

expect. I didn't know if the dress

3:46

would be the size of a pinky

3:48

finger or if it would be huge

3:50

and it ended up actually being quite

3:52

big. Which was nice because I had

3:55

space to put patting and protect my

3:57

hips because it was hard as a

3:59

rock. Yeah, but in an incredible

4:01

memory. And then tell us a

4:04

little bit of the Day of

4:06

the Met experience, because I heard

4:08

there was an electrician involved. God

4:11

bless the Carlyle Hotel. I walked

4:13

into my room, because I actually had

4:15

a photo shoot, also the Day of

4:17

the Met, for Katie Grand, anything for

4:19

Katie. So I woke up at five

4:22

that day, shot, went straight to the

4:24

Carlyle, after shooting. And there was an

4:26

electrician in my room, and he was

4:28

the electrician from the Carlisle. I'm horrible

4:30

with names, and I sadly forgot his

4:32

name, but we love him so much,

4:35

and we made sure we took care

4:37

of him. And he was in my

4:39

room for like... Two hours, like going

4:41

downstairs, getting parts, coming back up,

4:43

going downstairs, coming back up. All

4:46

for the terrarium, dress. All for

4:48

the terrarium. I mean, it was

4:50

incredible, so it was worth it.

4:53

It really was. And speaking of

4:55

experiences, we've been loving, seeing photos

4:58

of you and videos of you, you know,

5:00

Katur, how was it? Katur was

5:02

amazing. I think for me, I still

5:04

can't really wrap my head around the

5:06

fact that I do Katur, and that

5:08

that's my life. I dreamt and I still

5:10

dream of so many things, but that

5:12

being said, I think there were dreams

5:15

that almost felt too far away, if

5:17

that makes sense. I'm very well aware

5:19

of the fact that I'm a nepo

5:21

baby and I'm extremely grateful for that.

5:24

I'm aware of everything that I am,

5:26

but Katoor was just never something

5:28

I thought I would be accepted

5:30

into, so... Jean-Paul Gautier was actually

5:32

my first ever couture show, and

5:35

it was Heider Ackerman. Oh, that's

5:37

a good one. Which was, oh

5:39

my gosh, like, and Heider had

5:41

already been someone that I had

5:43

looked up to so, so much,

5:45

and just like his idea of

5:47

a woman, and I hadn't even

5:49

known him as a human being

5:51

yet, and then it just takes

5:53

it to another level, because he's

5:55

one of the most incredible people,

5:57

I think, in this industry. And

6:00

so to have that moment was just

6:02

insane and then to now continue having

6:04

these insane couture moments I'm still not

6:06

really I don't understand how this is

6:09

my life and that being said I

6:11

really don't understand that I walk Chanel

6:13

Yeah, that's major like I've done I

6:15

think 11 Chanel shows I don't understand.

6:18

There's couture and then there's Chanel couture.

6:20

Every Chanel coutur. We see your runway

6:22

phone. I don't get it. I don't

6:24

get it like how is like it's

6:26

so insane to me and I love

6:29

what I do so much. Like to

6:31

be able to do all these different

6:33

runways and couture for brands

6:35

that I felt were too big to

6:37

dream about is just crazy. And

6:40

it's like pinched me, wake me up

6:42

from the dream, you know? You're fitting

6:44

at Vogue World, actually, which happened during Last

6:46

Katoor. Oh my gosh. It was one of

6:48

my faith. You were wearing Chanel. Exactly. And

6:51

your excitement over that dress. I mean, we

6:53

were doing a million fittings a day in

6:55

the Westin, and it was such a crazy

6:57

environment. And it was, you know, what's so

7:00

great is it can start to feel a

7:02

bit run of the mill, right? You're just

7:04

doing fittings, and you're... busy and you're running

7:06

around and then you come in and you

7:09

were such a ray of sun and you

7:11

were so excited about the dress and you

7:13

were so excited that the Chanel team

7:15

was there fixing the beating and it

7:18

was very special to watch your reaction

7:20

to that 1920s vintage dress. It was

7:22

a recreation of a vintage dress. Right,

7:25

which was insane. Thank you for saying

7:27

that. You know, I think it's really

7:29

interesting because the career that I have

7:31

and the industry that I'm in, it's

7:34

not usually one that people choose. Almost

7:36

every girl's story is I was walking

7:38

on the street and someone scouted me.

7:40

But that's completely opposite to my story. I

7:43

scouted everyone else. Like I had already

7:45

known that this is what I wanted

7:47

to do since I was five years

7:49

old. I have no idea why. I

7:51

swear like I have this intuitive

7:53

feeling that like either I was a

7:55

model in my past life and I died

7:57

like maybe Gia. Okay, don't come for me.

7:59

I'm just saying. Just an

8:02

idea. We're just spit-blowing. It's

8:04

just an idea. Okay, and

8:06

Many Lives, Many Masters, my

8:08

new favorite book, this one

8:10

woman has had 86 lives,

8:12

I'm just saying. Okay. It could

8:15

have been one. Yeah. But that

8:17

being said, I went out and

8:19

had to like find everyone. And

8:21

so my story is different, and

8:23

I think that... I don't really understand

8:25

how a lot of the girls don't

8:28

feel the same way that I do,

8:30

because to me it's so exciting and

8:32

it's my dream and it's what I

8:35

love to do and I could not

8:37

imagine doing anything really else. I

8:39

mean, I feel really lucky that I

8:41

love what I do. My dad always

8:43

said, if you love what you do.

8:46

you'll never work a day in your

8:48

life. Love that. I love that. And

8:50

it's so nice to meet fashion obsessives,

8:52

I think. I think we all can

8:54

get busy and it can feel like

8:56

a lot and it's so nice to

8:58

remember why we're here. Exactly. And I

9:00

don't think I'm necessarily obsessed with fashion

9:02

in itself, which is interesting, because I

9:04

was reading this interview that Lata did

9:06

and I'm not sure her exact verbatim,

9:08

but she said something like, like, I

9:10

just love, love clothes or something

9:12

like that or something like that.

9:14

I don't really care about clothes

9:16

that much. I love the art and

9:19

collaborative experience that

9:21

takes place in fashion,

9:24

and I love women. And I

9:26

think that, I mean, it's true

9:28

that fashion is one of

9:30

the only industries where women

9:32

make more and are sort

9:34

of on the pedestal more.

9:36

And I think that that's

9:39

such a beautiful thing, and

9:41

that's also why I love doing

9:43

it. And I love the people. There's

9:45

good people in fashion. Yeah. Before

9:47

we move on, I do want to

9:49

ask, are you excited for Heiders Tom

9:52

Ford? Because you brought him up. I

9:54

am so excited for Heiders Tom Ford.

9:56

You know, it's funny because I have

9:58

been to the Tom Ford. casting every

10:01

single time I land in Milan

10:03

since my career started and I have

10:05

gotten so close to getting it they

10:07

fit me in clothes this and that

10:10

no no and I've never gotten it

10:12

because it's always just been one person

10:14

doesn't support me which is fine I

10:17

love a challenge like make it harder

10:19

for me because it's so boring if

10:21

you get everything all at once like

10:23

that You know, careful what I wish

10:26

for, I need to like, careful what

10:28

I put out there, but you know,

10:30

you have to work for things.

10:32

And I think that, hopefully, I can

10:34

finally do Tom Port. Crossing a year!

10:37

Man investing. And it's in Paris, so

10:39

that's exciting. Oh my gosh, wait, I

10:41

didn't know that. You heard it for

10:44

first? Yeah. So Vogue France did a

10:46

really fun video with you where they

10:48

spent 24 hours with you and you

10:51

said before you go on the runway

10:53

you like to channel a character. Who

10:55

are some of the characters you channel

10:57

and you know what are you thinking

11:00

about in your mind when you're

11:02

walking? You know the character is

11:04

all dependent on the outfit that

11:06

I'm given and I think that

11:08

I was raised obviously in a household

11:11

of actors but that being said I

11:13

was also Raised to be an

11:15

actress I was forced I really

11:17

did not like this growing up,

11:20

but I'm so grateful for it

11:22

now I was forced to do

11:24

plays I have done like 11

11:26

or 12 musicals and I always

11:28

played a man Who's your favorite

11:31

man? I played um Teddy

11:33

Roosevelt For Annie, was that

11:35

the Roosevelt that was in

11:37

Annie? I was in a

11:39

wheelchair and then for High

11:42

School Musical, my sister was

11:44

Troy Bolton and I was

11:46

Mr. Fulton. I love that's

11:48

amazing. The way that I

11:51

work is just very like

11:53

an actor in the sense that

11:55

like no runway that I go

11:57

on is ever really the same.

12:00

I don't really think about my walk

12:02

ever, unless it was like the Chanel

12:04

show for Katoor that we did last

12:06

week was probably one of the hardest

12:08

shows I've ever done in my career

12:10

because it was uphill. And so both

12:13

of the seas were uphill and then

12:15

downhill and we had to. do both seas.

12:17

So we did that essentially four times

12:19

because the show is twice. So my

12:21

shinsplins were like on fire because we

12:23

couldn't bend our knees going uphill because

12:25

we had to look shanel. So it's

12:27

like going uphill in a poised way

12:29

and manner. So that is hard. And

12:31

when it's hard, I'm in my head and

12:34

I have weird thoughts. Just kind of like

12:36

Amelia, you got this, you're almost done. Like

12:38

you can breathe, you can breathe at the

12:40

end, like just hold it. But like, like,

12:42

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

12:45

like, like, like, like, like, I didn't have

12:47

anything going through my mind during

12:49

it and I think that's when

12:52

it's really such a beautiful experience

12:54

and an energizing experience when it's

12:56

just like you put the outfit on

12:59

and the character is already in

13:01

you. It's not even like I'm

13:03

necessarily thinking about the character that

13:05

I'm going to portray, it's all

13:07

about the outfit and that is

13:09

the character. And so I think that

13:11

when I'm really passionate about an

13:13

outfit... then it just makes the

13:16

experience so much more beautiful and

13:18

authentic to me. But you never

13:20

really know what you're going to

13:22

get when you go out there. It's

13:25

always different than rehearsal. I'm always like,

13:27

listen, I'm going to do my best,

13:29

but we're going to wing it. We're

13:31

going to wing it. We're going to

13:33

wing it. And yeah. Do you try

13:35

to like see your mom from the

13:37

corner of your eyes? I tried, but

13:39

you know, she didn't warn me that

13:41

she was wearing a blonde, insane

13:43

wig. There was a different

13:45

woman there. Yeah, and your mom, she

13:48

said she cried when she watched you,

13:50

which was so sweet. Like, is it

13:52

like comforting to have your mom at

13:55

the shows? And she's always here. You

13:57

guys are shopping, eating. She's like,

13:59

yeah, like. I am so beyond

14:01

grateful. to have her as a

14:03

mother in this life. And I

14:05

truly do believe that I chose

14:08

her. I don't know if those

14:10

are your guys' beliefs, but that

14:12

is mine. Like, I chose this

14:14

woman to be my mom. But

14:16

side note, my dad doesn't get

14:19

enough credit and he's great too.

14:21

Love him, love him, takes two.

14:23

It's pasta sauce. I had it

14:25

last night. It's so good. It's

14:28

so good. I can see your

14:30

mom last night. I know. Oh

14:32

my God. for the two of

14:35

you. That'd be cute.

14:37

Great. More with Amelia

14:39

Gray after a quick

14:42

break. I

14:53

like eBay for one-of-a-kind items, things

14:55

that feel limited edition, or collections

14:57

that can't be found in stores.

14:59

And with the eBay Authenticity Guarantee,

15:01

I know that when it arrives,

15:03

it's real. It is a piece

15:05

that is coming from the Designers

15:07

Collection, the Designers Archive. One of

15:10

the biggest conversation points for some

15:12

of the parties that I'll go

15:14

to during Fashion Week are the

15:16

pieces that I'm getting off of

15:18

eBay. Everyone's a little bit intrigued

15:20

and excited whenever they

15:23

hear that you were

15:25

able to find something on

15:27

this digital treasure hunt. We

15:29

had such a blast on

15:32

the subway. On the subway? Can

15:34

I break the news that

15:36

it was your first subway

15:38

ride on this podcast? Well, technically

15:40

it was my ticket. But the

15:43

first with your sister. I'm

15:45

going to get so much

15:47

shit for that. No, the

15:49

first of your sister. You're a

15:51

new New Yorker. Yeah. But

15:53

also, now people have been

15:55

seeing the news. Guys. Oh, no, I... I

15:57

want to live. I love my life. I know.

15:59

Yeah, we talk. Sometimes I walk, and

16:02

I walk further down to Brooklyn, so

16:04

I'm on the subway for as little

16:06

time as possible. It's scary. So I

16:08

need to take the ferry with you

16:11

now that I'm a BK girl. Exactly.

16:13

So we're BK girls, but this, we

16:15

had a really fun, it was for

16:17

our February issue, and we went down

16:19

into that subway. You and Delilah.

16:22

Yep. It was so fun. Our

16:24

first vogue shoot together. We were

16:26

gossiping about boys. Yeah. The entire

16:28

time. Have a lot to tell

16:30

you by the way. I'm so

16:32

excited. Off air conversation. And we

16:34

had so much fun. You almost

16:36

touched the ground of the subway.

16:38

You know, I was going to

16:41

just like harp on that for

16:43

a second because it's so funny

16:45

because when I'm myself, like when

16:48

I'm Amelia, just a girl. I

16:50

am so afraid of germs and I

16:52

don't like being dirty and I

16:54

don't like weird feelings on my

16:56

body. Like I don't like to

16:58

be all oily and weird and

17:00

like dirty. But when I'm

17:02

Amelia Gray at work, nothing matters.

17:04

Tell me why I was touching

17:07

every single subway rail. I could

17:09

have rolled around. You were rolling

17:11

around. I have video. Yeah, I

17:13

was rolling around. Yeah. I touched

17:16

everything. I would never do that.

17:18

Do I want to lay down? She laid

17:20

down. I mean, there's some crazy things that

17:22

I do, that I would never do in

17:24

my real life. Well, the photos came out

17:26

great, so. And just in case you thought

17:29

we'd shut down a subway car, there were

17:31

other riders. Right. We went three

17:33

stops? Maybe four. Maybe four. Yeah.

17:35

It was probably the first time

17:37

seeing a supermodel and Prada. Right.

17:39

Yeah, Irene was very nervous that we'd taken

17:42

the Prada looks and the Burberry look on

17:44

your sister on the subway. Irene was having

17:46

him on the top of the clothes. Yeah,

17:48

I was like, did like, like, like, Mark,

17:50

like, sometimes you sit on the subway and,

17:52

like, you sit on water. No, it was,

17:55

we took some clean cards, but it's also

17:57

interesting because I'm so shy in my real

17:59

life. Right. I don't want people looking at me

18:01

and I don't want to cause a scene

18:03

and I don't like trespassing or doing things

18:05

that aren't right, but then it's like, here

18:07

I am. On the subway, I mean, I

18:09

did a way crazier thing. than the subway

18:12

last week in Paris, where I

18:14

was painted gold, head-to-toe naked at

18:16

the Pompey-Doo Museum, and I had

18:18

to go to Gautier in an

18:20

hour, and now I'm painted gold,

18:22

and I ran through the Pompey-Doo

18:24

Museum with Louis Vuitton murkle bags

18:26

covering my boobs. There were people

18:29

in the museum. There were children,

18:31

and I'm pretty sure I traumatized

18:33

them, and everyone saw that, but to me

18:35

when I'm at work... Nobody's watching

18:37

me. I don't care. You're in

18:40

the zone. I'm in the zone.

18:42

You're in a character. But if

18:44

that was like my real life,

18:46

painted gold naked, I would have

18:48

cried. It's a weird way to

18:50

go to a museum if you're

18:52

just like strolling through on a

18:54

Sunday. Right. But no judgment. I

18:56

mean, you do you. Speaking of

18:58

children, you haven't traumatized kids.

19:01

And they had seen a picture of

19:03

you. as violet from the Incredibles. Oh

19:05

my God, and Candace was showing her

19:07

son a picture of me on the

19:10

plane, being like, this is who we're

19:12

gonna work with, whatever, and it was

19:14

the violet picture of me. And he

19:16

was like, Mommy, does she have superpowers?

19:19

So he came up to me and

19:21

he was like... So cute. Do you

19:23

have your superpowers with you? And I

19:25

was like, you know, I need my

19:28

suit to have my invisible bubble powers.

19:30

But next time I promise him that

19:32

next time I see him, I will

19:34

have my suit in my powers. So

19:37

Candas, I can never see your son

19:39

again. It's off the table. Yes. That

19:41

is the cutest story ever. But maybe

19:44

next Halloween, you can dress up, Ben.

19:46

Go right. Yeah, I need

19:49

to like figure out

19:51

the superpower part. Yeah,

19:53

but yeah The run-through

19:55

will be back in

19:58

just a moment Do

20:09

you have a Valentine Amelia?

20:11

Maybe. Yeah, maybe. But drop some

20:14

hints. Yes. The thing about

20:16

this industry is it's very

20:18

adjacent similar to high school. Yeah. And

20:20

I went to an all-girl school and

20:22

I kept thinking to myself, why did

20:25

I go to an all-girl school? Like

20:27

what was my lesson in going to

20:29

an all-girl school because I really hated

20:32

that. And now I realize... It was

20:34

to prep me for the all-girl school

20:36

that is my life. Yeah. Which is

20:38

great. But I think that it's interesting

20:41

navigating this industry because it's similar to

20:43

high school in the sense that you

20:45

feel like you need to be friends

20:48

with... all the people at your school

20:50

and you need to sit with

20:52

the cool girls at lunch and

20:54

no no no no no and

20:56

I did that I've dated people

20:58

in the industry I'm very private

21:00

about my dating life after one

21:03

situation that I had so I

21:05

learned a lot but you know

21:07

I don't think I'll ever do

21:09

that again yeah it's hard you

21:11

have to go to school with

21:13

them again and you know we

21:15

change in front of each other.

21:17

And that's really awkward when you're

21:19

broken up with someone to see

21:21

them naked and have them see

21:24

you naked. So that's interesting. Yeah.

21:26

This industry is very interesting and...

21:28

It definitely forces an issue. Yeah,

21:31

and you know, just the people from

21:33

the outside have no idea. No. Like,

21:35

sometimes I'm just like, the comments that

21:37

I get on Tik Talk and the

21:40

things, I'm just like, you guys have

21:42

no idea. Oh, I love. And it's

21:44

important to find someone who also travels

21:46

a lot, I feel, because it's really

21:49

hard to be in a relationship when

21:51

you're the only person leaving, because that's

21:53

like a whole weird guilt thing, and

21:55

like, you just need someone that's as

21:58

busy as you, if not busy. and

22:00

so I'm not the only one

22:02

leaving or unable to participate. To

22:04

participate, which is really nice, and

22:06

I think it's just all about,

22:08

yeah, finding someone who has a

22:10

similar life to you, but that isn't

22:12

a model. Okay, good advice. Yeah,

22:15

I like that. I mean, you're

22:17

very introspective and very positive, which

22:19

I really appreciate, because I think

22:21

as a model and as someone

22:23

who works in fashion, it's a... I

22:25

don't want to say it's a negative industry,

22:28

but it is a small world, right?

22:30

And it is a bit of a

22:32

clicky girl's school sometimes. Very much. Not

22:34

just the girls. But I think it's

22:36

really important to keep such a positive

22:38

attitude, and I appreciate your positive attitude.

22:41

Thank you, Alle. Is there anything that

22:43

you do to keep that up? Because

22:45

I'm sure not every day is some

22:48

beams and roses. No. It can be

22:50

hard, you know. I think that... a

22:52

support system, a beautiful support

22:54

system, a positive support system

22:57

is so important and I'm

22:59

really blessed to have such

23:01

a strong beautiful group of

23:03

amazing women around me. My

23:05

mom raised me and it

23:08

was so annoying growing up,

23:10

like, think positively, think positively,

23:12

think positively, and sometimes I was

23:14

like, but mom, I'm angry. I don't

23:16

want to. There's little things that I

23:18

say to myself that I do, rituals

23:20

that I have to keep on track,

23:22

and I think that, you know, rejection

23:25

is hard for anyone in any industry,

23:27

but I think it's all about perspective.

23:29

In my career, I've always been a

23:31

yes person, right? So if you say

23:33

yes to doing things, you tend to

23:35

learn. new skills that you don't even

23:37

know exist. I'm a big yes person

23:39

and it gets me in trouble sometimes.

23:41

Sometimes my agents are like, why are

23:43

you gold in the pumpidoo naked? You have

23:46

an hour to get to the show. We got

23:48

to get that gold off. It was a whole

23:50

thing. Three people had to help me shower. I

23:52

showered in the security corridors of the pumpidoo. It

23:54

was like intense. But you still made it. I

23:57

need to write a book. No kidding. Because I

23:59

have done some. weird stuff yeah and then

24:01

I had to go to the doctor

24:04

yesterday because turns out I'm like allergic

24:06

to whatever they put on me the

24:08

gold paint yes oh no it's like

24:11

really toxic I'm scary yeah I mean

24:13

I used one I mean I think

24:15

they used one that was fine but

24:17

I don't know like The Wizard of

24:20

Oz has some crazy stories about being

24:22

being gold. And I didn't really think

24:24

about it in the moment. They also

24:27

asked Pate Me Silver at the end

24:29

of the shoot. By that time it

24:31

was 3 a.m. And it was the

24:34

last day. That was like a couple

24:36

days ago. Yeah, anyways. Yeah, I do

24:38

some crazy things. Would you ever have

24:41

like cameras follow you around? You know,

24:43

it would great make for a great

24:45

reality show. But... I think it's not

24:48

my it's not my path in this

24:50

life for now at least I think

24:52

it's almost interesting that people don't really

24:55

know my personality and and I like

24:57

that like people have so many ideas

24:59

of me on the internet which we

25:02

could go into for hours and it's

25:04

it's so it's weird when people try

25:06

to tell you who you are And

25:09

it's scary because sometimes you can start

25:11

believing it, especially in a case that

25:13

I've had for the past couple years

25:16

that have a lot to do with

25:18

my eyebrows. Really? I love that you

25:20

don't know. I have no idea. I'm

25:22

so sorry. Irene knows. She's nodding. She's

25:25

nodding. Everyone knows. And that has been,

25:27

what was I talking about? I don't

25:29

know, but that has been really hard

25:32

for me being told who I am.

25:34

That I do things and no no

25:36

because you can really start to believe

25:39

these people and like I Don't know

25:41

I like to keep my personality and

25:43

my heart private because People are so

25:46

mean, but it's also almost like this

25:48

fun little game like everyone thinks that

25:50

I'm going to be so horrible and

25:53

like Diva on set or like when

25:55

they meet me and then people meet

25:57

me and it's like I have this

26:00

opportunity to change their mind about me

26:02

because everything that they had in their

26:04

head was like this false made up

26:07

just like perspective of me that doesn't

26:09

exist. Is that because you're a model

26:11

or because you grew up in an

26:14

industry around reality TV? That's because I

26:16

grew up in an industry around reality

26:18

TV and people just want to not

26:21

like me. Yeah. You know, and but

26:23

like I said I love a challenge.

26:25

Yeah. I was going to say, do

26:27

you like a low expectation? Do you

26:30

like just... Yeah, yeah. Because I was...

26:32

It's funny, because I was talking to

26:34

Guido the other day at the Goate

26:37

Show. I was showing him a video

26:39

of me painted gold, because I was

26:41

late, obviously, to the show. Right. Because

26:44

I was gold. Because you were showing

26:46

a security quarter. Right. And I was

26:48

showing Guido and everyone, like this video

26:51

of me running through the Pomby-Doo gold.

26:53

I'll show you after. But at the

26:55

same time... I love

26:57

that. But you're particularly nice to work

27:00

with. Yeah, and you should know that.

27:02

Well, thanks to my mom and my

27:04

dad. They raised me really well, and

27:06

it's all about, it comes down to

27:08

loving what you do. So here's the

27:11

happiness going into Fashion Month. Here's the

27:13

happiness. And loving what you do. Yeah.

27:15

Yeah. That's

27:25

it for the run-through. See

27:27

you tomorrow, everyone. The run-through

27:29

is produced by Chelsea Daniel,

27:32

Alex DePalma, and Joanna Solatara.

27:34

It's engineered by Jake Lumis

27:36

and James Yost. It is

27:39

mixed by Mike Kutchman. Stephanie

27:41

Kariyuki is our executive producer,

27:44

and Chris Bannon is Condonast's

27:46

head of global audio. The

27:58

other day I like on a real

28:00

real spree. There's this huge

28:02

push for like 80s opulence and 80s

28:04

sort of and we're going to we're

28:06

going to see that returning. I

28:08

And so I was already

28:10

kind of tapped into that

28:12

just from my gorgeous my gorgeous

28:14

eBay And I found a

28:16

really beautiful beautiful from the the 80s

28:18

and a a really great killed bees

28:20

great to your boots and your boots them

28:22

all I'm combining them all

28:24

together. Sometimes trend forecasting doesn't

28:26

require something that's going to be be like.

28:28

in the future. Sometimes you can

28:30

like tap into the past and tap

28:32

into the archive as well. the That's

28:35

what makes eBay a fun place

28:37

to actually discover things because you're not

28:39

going in with something so specific

28:41

in mind, but you have an idea

28:43

of what you're interested in or

28:45

what you're excited about you're know, just know

28:47

just trend forecasting. And so

28:49

one thing that I would say people

28:51

should be watching out for out for

28:53

opulent opulent 80 style. From
