00:00
I love Dubai, it's one of my favorite places in the world, and this is one of my favorite
00:07
malls in the world.
00:08
Welcome to Dubai.
00:09
Jess, why don't you just tell us a little bit about the collaboration you guys have
00:14
with Concept as well, and why did you choose Dubai to launch the fragrance?
00:18
I was so excited to launch my 24th fragrance, Platinum Rush, I thought Dubai was the perfect
00:23
place to come and launch it, with brands for you, and they've been so incredible.
00:28
And I love Dubai, I think it's an amazing place, and when I was coming up with this
00:34
perfume and creating it, I actually had the Middle East and Dubai in my mind, because
00:38
I wanted to make the perfect perfume.
00:40
Tell me a little bit about your dress, now you said this is inspired by a design, an
00:44
Arab designer?
00:45
Yeah, Youssef Al Jassmi, he's amazing, he makes the most gorgeous dresses, and I called
00:51
him and I said I need some Platinum Rush inspired dresses, and he sent me a huge bag full of
00:58
all these gorgeous gowns that look like the bottle, so that's perfect for today.
01:02
So Paris, you've turned social media on its head when you actually came out with A Simple
01:06
Life, now of course the American meme is scheduled to come out on Netflix next month, what would
01:12
you actually tell people who are trying to make it big on social media, what would you
01:16
want to tell them?
01:17
It's a lot of work, it's really about building your brand and figuring out what you want
01:23
to do, what your talent is, if you love to cook, you love to do makeup, you love fashion,
01:27
you want to be a designer, you really need to figure out your focus and get the right
01:32
content and really push it and also collaborate with other influencers, and that's always
01:38
a great way.
01:39
Do you think there's also a darker side to social media, can it really kind of emotionally
01:45
also bring you down in some ways?
01:47
Definitely, and in the film the American meme, it shows that a lot of the characters in the
01:53
film go through a lot, we all do, being in this industry, it's social media, people are
02:01
judging you all the time, so you really need to have a tough head on your shoulders.
02:06
So you mentioned in the press conference as well that after the Philippines, Dubai is
02:10
a place that you're looking at, is it a Paris Hilton hotel, is it a beach club, what do
02:14
we have here?
02:15
It's a surprise.
02:16
Can we expect it before Expo 2020?
02:19
Hopefully.
02:20
What advice would you actually give to female entrepreneurs who are looking out to make
02:24
a name for yourselves in the industry?
02:26
It's all about really working hard and finding out what your love and passion is and what
02:31
you want to do in your life, and to always believe in yourself and work ethic.
02:37
I work so hard and I've created my own empire, all on my own, and I think if anyone has a
02:44
dream and they really work at it, then anything is possible.
02:48
What advice did you get from your father or your grandfather, I'm sure they would have
02:51
actually given you some advice along the way in terms of setting a business up, investment
02:56
opportunities.
02:57
I always ask my father for advice and my grandfather always looked up to them, they're such amazing
03:02
mentors and the best advice is to always do background checks on people, make sure that
03:08
you're working with the correct people who are making the right products, I want to make
03:13
sure that all the ingredients that are used in my fragrances and my skincare, my makeup
03:18
and everything is always the top quality and just really taking complete control of my
03:24
brand and making sure I'm involved 110% always.
03:28
So where are you taking this empire, what are you going to be planning over the next
03:31
three years?
03:32
Are you planning to enhance on your product line, are we looking at more hotels?
03:36
What have you got in mind?
03:37
Well, I already have two of my properties in the Philippines and we're going to be doing
03:42
more Paris properties all around the world and I'm obsessed with tech and I've always
03:48
been a huge tech nerd, so I've been in Berlin and developing a new virtual reality world
03:54
which will be basically like the new social media.
03:57
Fabulous, so it will be entirely actually VR, am I correct here?
04:01
Yes, you're going to be in a Paris world, getting to meet people all around the world
04:05
and be your own avatar, whatever you want to look like, it's going to be pretty innovative.
04:10
From my BFF, with Dubai played a large part, over the years Dubai has somehow or the other
04:14
played some sort of integral part as you have built your empire, how will it actually play
04:19
a part in the future, over the next few years?
04:22
I can't wait to come here more often, I love it here, I love the people, it's an incredible
04:27
market for me and I look forward to doing real estate here and a lot of projects, so
04:33
I will be back very soon.
