00:00We are behind the scenes at our July-August cover shoot with the fabulous Iman.
00:15Today is just a celebration of color and print.
00:18We pulled from various tribal and ethnic influences.
00:21For this cover shoot we had designers flying pieces from all over the world.
00:25We had items come in from Ghana, from Nigeria.
00:28We had pieces hand carried from the Caribbean.
00:30And it's just an explosion of culture, of color, of print, of texture.
00:34So it's just really exciting.
00:35You'll see a mix of different influences from all over the world.
00:46I always say my motto in life, especially in my working life, is that I want to remain a classic in a world full of trends.
00:54Something that is timeless.
00:56This is a fantastic day with the most incredible crew and beauty team.
01:02I mean, it is going to be iconic and it's something to be remembered for a long time.
01:08We're giving respect and honor to Iman by celebrating over 40 years in the industry.
01:15Iman is a whole entire icon, so we wanted to create really iconic images with her, which we are definitely achieving.
01:22And we had this whole tribal theme, very global, very worldly, but not so precious.
01:27Well, you know, it's great when you gather the best of a team and they are creative and you just give them an idea and they'll take it a mile.
01:48Look at this hair.
01:49I mean, it's incredible what Vernon has created and Renee with her makeup.
01:53I mean, it still looks classic.
01:55It still looks modern, but also it is a bit of a tribal and a bit of celebration of heritage.
02:01Well, that's a wrap for my Essence Uncovered.
02:16I hope you enjoyed yourself.
02:18Thank you, team.
02:19Thank you, team.
