00:00
You look unbelievable.
00:02
Really Emma?
00:03
This is so cool.
00:04
So do you.
00:05
Thank you so much.
00:06
I appreciate it.
00:07
So are you like a big accessorizer?
00:08
I feel like the glasses are so chic and so special.
00:11
Is this something that you incorporate into your day to day life?
00:14
Yeah, yeah.
00:15
I wear glasses.
00:16
These particular ones are by Jacques-Marie Mage.
00:19
A great company and I have, I collaborated believe it or not.
00:23
There's a Jeff frame that Jacques-Marie Mage does.
00:26
That's amazing.
00:27
Yeah, yeah.
00:28
Did you read that story from which the theme is partly derived?
00:32
Yes, yes.
00:33
Garden of Time.
00:34
Yes.
00:35
The main character is Count Axel.
00:37
Yep.
00:38
Tall and imperious, you know.
00:40
Yes.
00:41
And living a kind of a beautiful life with his wife.
00:44
Yep.
00:45
But there are kind of Goya-esque, you know Goya, the Spanish artists, you know.
00:49
Yep.
00:50
The artists and there are hordes that are coming toward the house.
00:54
Yeah.
00:55
But they, you know the story.
00:56
Yes.
00:57
And you have these magical crystalline flowers that then become liquid but it makes you go
01:02
back in time.
01:03
Yes.
01:04
And for stalls kind of delays the inevitable destruction of their lives.
01:09
Of their beautiful lives and gardens.
01:11
Yeah.
01:12
Yeah.
01:13
I love that you read the short story which is the theme.
01:17
Yeah.
01:18
And you kind of did your homework.
01:19
So were you super involved in bringing the theme to life?
01:21
Well, I was interested and involved but without much time to do it, I've been doing a bunch
01:26
of other stuff.
01:27
Andrew Vitero is my stylist.
01:29
Amazing.
01:30
And he thrilled to this challenge and assignment.
01:33
He knew the story and devised this thing with Prada, you know, with whom I've worked a little
01:39
bit before.
01:40
I love them and we kind of came up with this including this Tiffany watch.
01:45
That is unbelievable.
01:46
I know.
01:47
Isn't that something?
01:48
Unbelievable.
01:49
And these, you know, on loan, these Tiffany little brooches.
01:52
The little like green brooch with the green glasses is unbelievable.
01:56
You think so?
01:57
I love it.
01:58
I do have one more question for you.
01:59
Shoot.
02:00
So this is based on a short story, right?
02:02
The theme is based on a short story.
02:03
Partly, yeah.
02:04
Do you have a favorite short story?
02:05
Do you know that short story by J.D. Salinger who wrote Catcher in the Rye called Perfect
02:11
Day for Banana Fish?
02:13
Never heard of it.
02:14
I haven't read it in a while but that's something.
02:16
How about those ones I, you know, came to know in school?
02:20
Gift of the Magi, O. Henry and the Monkey's Paw.
02:24
Yes.
02:25
And, you know, Edgar Allen Poe.
02:28
Oh, I mean Love.
02:29
Yeah, Mask of the Red Death which is a little not adjacent to this.
02:33
That's right.
02:34
The Telltale Heart.
02:35
Oh yeah.
02:36
Yeah.
02:37
Oh, not to mention The Raven.
02:38
You know, let's recite it together.
02:40
The Raven.
02:41
Ready?
02:42
Oh God, don't make me recite this.
02:43
I'm just going to dance for you while you recite it.
02:44
Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary over many a quaint and curious
02:52
volume of forgotten lore.
02:54
Oh, that's good.
02:55
That was fucking amazing.
02:56
Okay, well this is going to be the best interview of the night.
02:59
You're so good, Emma.
03:00
You're the best.
03:01
Thank you so much.
03:02
I can't thank you enough.
03:03
You're amazing.
03:04
Go have so much fun and I'll see you in there and we'll party.
03:05
Good to see you.
03:06
Good to see you, Emma.
03:07
You're so fun.
03:08
I love you.
03:09
Thank you for letting me dance.
03:09
I love you. Thank you for letting me dance.
