01:44the beginning of
01:44this whole award season and campaign since last year like what june july i've been thinking about
01:50the oscars red carpet dress and it was really cool because jonathan anderson was you know gonna custom
01:57make this dress i remember telling him what was really important i was saving a golden look for the
02:04oscars very specifically so you know we went back and forth and you know there are a bunch of looks

02:36with ej it was a whole new beginning you know she's never been in this spotlight so there was a
02:43lot of things that we needed to help her in her journey of finding her her brand and her look
02:50we
02:51met in korea and we kind of felt inspired by the story and we wanted to be part of it
02:57and i think it also gave us a freedom of expression of working with such a talented person oh me
03:07it's just been an incredible journey because i've been learning so much from these two and like
03:11when it comes to style and the story of outfits there's a story to it i never thought of it
03:17that way
03:18and like also with theo he's helped so much with movement which i never had to do in the beginning
03:24i
03:25would be with all my dress and i would literally this is how i used to pose but now he
03:33was like
03:34relax your hands like like put your shoulders back and then like relax your eyes now we're gonna
03:39actually get into this dress
03:51the moment i first saw it was obviously sketch form i thought the sketch was just so beautiful
03:58the first fitting was in in paris the moment i saw it i was like okay it came out of
04:04the sketchbook
04:05but looked even better in person in paris was like kind of the silhouette of the dress and it was
04:10just already stunning i was like okay we're done then they were putting like the flowers where we
04:15should put it talking about the fringe what color should this be pretty much like 95 done it was it

04:29i look so snatched
04:42how long have you guys
04:45since vmas uh which was was it september yeah it was fun
04:51what color was so small no mirror so dark so dark yeah i noticed that you know communication is super
05:00key and glam um i'm very like picky with makeup am i picky did you hear that
05:10that's kind of where it started and once we talked vmas was beautiful i felt confident and beautiful that
05:18day yeah so that was a good the rest was history yeah this will not be our final glam for
05:24the actual
05:24day like hair and makeup is going to be different but if we want to talk about what we're doing
05:29it's i would say it's inspired by old hollywood we want to do like a classic but also very chic
05:34and
05:35modern look so i would say the inspiration is coming from there and we always do collaborate really
05:40like with theo and yeah you kind of talk about what's the what's the vision and literally that's why
05:47it's like the looks are always impeccable so thank you theo and jeff

05:59i feel golden i mean i love the detail of this like how it like folds in the dress the
06:07creasing of it
06:08so intentional and i love the fringe detail that's so cool but yeah i love it so shiny
06:16i feel like the oscar statue for her first oscars we were able to work with zararski we wanted to
