00:11So we're really excited. We have Calico Mantra. They're a band from Nashville, Tennessee, and they really encompass this kind
00:16of 70s feeling, and we were designing the collection, we're listening to it over and over and over again, and
00:22it always helps kind of influence the design process.
00:24We're in a real kind of art deco mysticism mood, but also mixed with a kind of 60s psychedelia feeling,
00:30and so we kind of like mushed it together to come up with something that we felt encompassed our mood
00:35for the season.
00:36Every season we're trying to like come up with new techniques. One of our favorite is like the chiffon applique
00:40on top of the tulle, and then it's like kind of beaded around the edges, and all the colors are
00:45hand dyed, so we're really excited about that.
00:53I'm a big fan. This is my third time at their show. Whenever they invite me to anything, I'm like
00:58immediately, I'm canceling all plans, and this is them tonight, so I feel very lucky.
01:04I'm sort of obsessed with this like renaissance era that's sort of coming back into fashion right now. I love
01:09to embody that ethereal theme.
01:15The clothes are incredible and so elaborate. Sometimes if you're wearing really beautiful clothing, I think there has to be
01:21a kind of yin and yang contrast.
01:23We're doing just pure beauty. It's not really a concept. It's just making girls look as gorgeous as possible in
01:30that slightly old school supermodel way.
01:33You know, a sharp cheekbone, you know, a bronze cheek, a beige lip. But we're putting a little line of
01:39fine glitter in the lash line to make it look a bit wet, like she's just come out of the
01:42shower.
01:43I kind of almost wanted them to have that slightly kind of festival feel.
01:47We're here at the Bowery Ballroom, so today the look was kind of an art deco vibe. A lot of
01:53short bobs. You'll see these structured haircuts.
01:56So we just kind of enhanced them, made them a little bit more natural, rocker, kind of downtown. And then
02:00we also put little geodes in the hair to kind of give a little pop with the braids.
02:04I guess there's like a little nod to like the 20s vibe with the short bobs. So just natural enhance.
02:14It's always good to like have someone to throw ideas against. And the best things that come out of our
02:20design partnership are things that we tend to like kind of not argue about, but we kind of have to
02:25convince one another that we're into.
02:27You kind of almost have to like talk them over to your side. And in doing that, sometimes we come
02:31up with even like a third idea, which is even more exciting than where we started.
02:35And I think that's the benefit of having like a partnership, having two people to kind of like play ideas
02:39off of.
