00:00Ah, good evening everyone. They asked me to present, and I said, you sure? I talk like I speak in
00:05cursive, so, uh.
00:06I have the honor of presenting an award to a man I affectionately refer to as my fairy godmother.
00:11A man who tells me what to wear, and more importantly, what not to wear.
00:15He's pushed me out of my comfort zone in a lot of ways. He's even helped me conquer my fear
00:19of trench coat.
00:21Believe it, it's a real fear of mine. He sees the person before he sees the clothes.
00:25He doesn't just put you in beautiful clothes, he makes sure you feel like yourself wearing them.
00:31And I think that's what a true image maker does.
00:33Ladies and gentlemen, please help me celebrate my friend, the incomparable Jason Bolden.
00:38First things first, thank you in style. The clothes are great, the diamonds are good, Cartier.
00:43The diamonds are good, but like, the magic is humanity, and that's what I love about my job.
00:50Finding humanity in all of this, and understanding that, you know, without us, without the people behind you guys,
00:57a lot of this stuff doesn't happen.
01:00I'm gonna clap to you guys. Not about me, I think it's about all of us who keep it going.
01:06Thank you guys all so much. Thank you in style. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
