00:12My name's Thea Bregazzi and I'm a designer at Green.
00:15And I'm Justin Thornton and I'm Neil the designer.
00:26We're here in New York preparing for our show on Sunday.
00:30We got into town yesterday and we've started doing castings and fittings today.
00:34We've been showing in London for a long time.
00:36We love London, we live in London, you know we're very supportive of London
00:39but we just want to have the opportunity to show in other cities.
00:41It keeps it exciting, keeps it fresh.
00:46It's a bit of a challenge for us to show in different places as well.
00:49It's always nice for us to challenge ourselves.
00:51The collection is inspired by Kurt Cobain
00:55and the way that he used to wear night shirts and pyjamas
00:59mixed with heavy workman's clothes.
01:02A kind of Seattle grunge kind of feel.
01:04And then we also watched the film Nine and a Half Weeks
01:07and Kim Basinger's character in Nine and a Half Weeks is really inspiring.
01:11We loved the way she was wearing underwear but under suits.
01:14And also the feeling, like in winter I think you really want to snuggle up and get cosy.
01:19So this you've got the cheques which came from the Seattle kind of brand.
01:23And then because it's all made of silk, so it's like a quilted silk, like anorak,
01:26almost like a nerdy anorak.
01:29But then we kind of added the printed silk on the inside.
01:31It was actually inspired by a picture that Bob Richardson took in the 70s.
01:41Hi, how are you?
01:44Hello, that's us all.
01:45How are you doing?
01:46Ah, again you.
01:48Again you?
01:49You again.
01:49You again.
01:52This is Angus Munro and he works on casting for us.
01:56He's our casting director.
01:57This chair goes with me all around the world, of course.
02:01It's model heaven, we call it.
02:04And yes, without it I think that my empire would crumble.
02:11We've been working with Sarah for five and a half years.
02:16So Sarah Richardson does all the styling for our show.
02:20When we get really bogged down with it, Sarah's fresh eyes comes in.
02:33We've got a lot to do and I'll see you at the show.
02:35And if I understand it, I'm always racing against my mind.
02:43Taking consideration, but it's so easy to say goodbye.
