You look absolutely amazing. Can you tell us a bit about what you're wearing?
00:03
This is Sarah Burton's Givenchy, and we combined a piece from her runway
00:08
and a piece from the Lee McQueen archive of Givenchy.
00:12
But we sort of like took from the Rococo era.
00:15
We looked for, and as I searched for pictures, there aren't many pictures of us in the Rococo era,
00:20
but there is one beautiful picture of the Chevalier Saint-Georges.
00:23
And I sort of like, I love that, that we can play in that space.
00:27
And I then sort of realized that Prince had been carrying that vibe on,
00:33
the frills, the tailoring, the long jackets, and we wanted to sort of play in that.
00:37
So that's why we have this, the bloomers, the boots, it was like all one thing, you know.
00:43
I love it. When you first heard the theme, what was important to you to incorporate in your ensemble?
00:47
I really wanted to play, and I didn't want to go just for a suit.
00:50
I really wanted to sort of like play in the shapes and the cuts that we could use.
00:56
So this is completely deconstructed, which I, why I loved it when it was on the runway,
01:00
because it sort of subverts the narrative of what a suit jacket can look like,
01:06
and plays with it. So I'm all about the structure of things.
01:10
So if I can play with it, I will.
01:12
I will.
01:14
I will.
01:16
I will.
