00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.380
When I think of Chloe,
3
00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:20.063
I think of joy.
4
00:00:20.063 --> 00:00:21.150
[soft piano music]
5
00:00:21.150 --> 00:00:23.690
I think of freedom.
6
00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:26.193
I think of the strength of being feminine.
7
00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:30.520
I think of the founder of Chloe, Gaby Aghion,
8
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:33.820
coming from Egypt to Paris,
9
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:35.960
adapting to a new world.
10
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.364
I think of history and respect to the ancestors.
11
00:00:39.364 --> 00:00:40.210
[camera shutter sounding]
12
00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:42.210
The vision that Gaby Aghion had
13
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.350
for modern living.
14
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:44.870
She had only four bags.
15
00:00:44.870 --> 00:00:48.210
She lived in a 600 square foot apartment.
16
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.460
Things didn't own her.
17
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.060
She had what she needed, what gave her joy.
18
00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:56.090
And that measure of living
19
00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:58.743
is where we need to refine our balance.
20
00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:05.310
I'm Gabi, and I think it did really work for me
21
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.007
getting the job, because I was like,
22
00:01:08.007 --> 00:01:10.181 line:15%
"come on, my name is Gabi."
23
00:01:10.181 --> 00:01:11.014 line:15%
[chuckling]
24
00:01:11.014 --> 00:01:12.610 line:15%
Give me this job.
25
00:01:12.610 --> 00:01:14.981
It's like, it's meant to be!
26
00:01:14.981 --> 00:01:17.898
[soft piano music]
27
00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:22.090
Being the first Latin American female designer
28
00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:24.230
definitely has a weight,
29
00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:26.270
and a responsibility,
30
00:01:26.270 --> 00:01:27.590
to also bring the values
31
00:01:27.590 --> 00:01:30.040
of what is really and truly important.
32
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.420
It grounds you.
33
00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:33.710
If I cannot do a poncho right,
34
00:01:33.710 --> 00:01:34.580
I'll be kicked out
35
00:01:34.580 --> 00:01:37.684
of my citizenship in Uruguay. [chuckling]
36
00:01:37.684 --> 00:01:40.140
[soft acoustic music]
37
00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:42.080
Growing up in Uruguay seemed
38
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:43.883
like it's another century.
39
00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:48.280
We're two hours and a half from the closest city.
40
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.630
My mother still lives off the grid.
41
00:01:50.630 --> 00:01:52.520
We actually had one of those phones
42
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.120
that you had to wind and call to an operator
43
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.500
that would connect you.
44
00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:58.721
And I'm not that old.
45
00:01:58.721 --> 00:01:59.880
[soft acoustic music]
46
00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:01.590
There's a female grit that goes
47
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:03.070
through the veins of this place,
48
00:02:03.070 --> 00:02:06.290
and so I felt, growing up there,
49
00:02:06.290 --> 00:02:08.200
that women could do the work
50
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:09.570
that men were doing.
51
00:02:09.570 --> 00:02:12.160
My mom actually competed as a rodeo rider,
52
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.910
and so my first images of my childhood
53
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.790
was her being thrown
[horse neighing]
54
00:02:15.790 --> 00:02:18.057
by a horse and her standing up.
55
00:02:18.057 --> 00:02:19.240
[camera shutter sounding]
56
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.030
My early memories of fashion
57
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.760
were looking at my mom,
58
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:24.420
and she didn't have a lot of clothes,
59
00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:26.360
but she had very nice clothes.
60
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.070
She designed them herself,
61
00:02:28.070 --> 00:02:31.000
and they were special pieces.
62
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.680
You learn from everyone.
63
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.470
My mother taught me endurance.
64
00:02:34.470 --> 00:02:37.080
My best friends taught me loyalty.
65
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.043
My daughters are continuously inspiring.
66
00:02:41.980 --> 00:02:43.820
When I was offered the job,
67
00:02:43.820 --> 00:02:46.070
I discuss it with my daughters,
68
00:02:46.070 --> 00:02:49.323
to know what it would mean to them.
69
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:53.187
And they were extremely supportive.
70
00:02:53.187 --> 00:02:55.944
[soft acoustic music]
71
00:02:55.944 --> 00:02:56.777
The...
72
00:02:56.777 --> 00:02:57.920
[man laughing]
73
00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:01.170
Let's do a waltz, or a polka.
[man laughing]
74
00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:02.003
All right.
The bomb.
75
00:03:02.003 --> 00:03:03.580
It's gonna be very strong.
Eh?
76
00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:06.120
So I started thinking of buttons
77
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.878
before I started thinking of anything else.
78
00:03:08.878 --> 00:03:11.660
[soft piano music]
79
00:03:11.660 --> 00:03:12.750
The big question was like,
80
00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:14.330
how are you going to differentiate
81
00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:18.113
Gabriela Hearst and the Chloe women, right?
82
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:21.620
The Gabriela Hearst woman is Athena,
83
00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:23.760
and Chloe is Aphrodite.
84
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.653
Athena has a more warlike force.
85
00:03:28.010 --> 00:03:30.930
The Chloe women still has the same power,
86
00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:33.490
but the power is used in other ways.
87
00:03:33.490 --> 00:03:34.640
It's brought with love.
88
00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:37.500
It's brought with seduction.
89
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:39.130
It's brought with appeal,
90
00:03:39.130 --> 00:03:40.650
it's brought with softness.
91
00:03:40.650 --> 00:03:42.010
That doesn't mean that one is stronger
92
00:03:42.010 --> 00:03:42.843
than the other.
93
00:03:42.843 --> 00:03:46.713
It's just the approach to it is different.
94
00:03:46.713 --> 00:03:48.240
[soft piano music]
95
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.543
The Chloe woman has always been a free spirit.
96
00:03:52.910 --> 00:03:56.650
I think the Chloe woman today adopts the values
97
00:03:56.650 --> 00:04:00.330
that we need to move towards.
98
00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:01.920
It's the care for the environment,
99
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:05.570
it's really embracing all our different shapes,
100
00:04:05.570 --> 00:04:07.427
and forms, and colors.
101
00:04:07.427 --> 00:04:10.100
[soft piano music]
102
00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:11.030
Let's be clear,
103
00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:12.160
there's bigger things happening
104
00:04:12.160 --> 00:04:14.210
in the world than me designing for Chloe.
105
00:04:15.260 --> 00:04:16.730
The reality that we're living
106
00:04:16.730 --> 00:04:19.060
is that we have only nine years to figure
107
00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.520
out how to do business
108
00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:22.980
before we're in a critical situation
109
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:25.033
with no chances to reverse back.
110
00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:27.990
I never dreamed that we were gonna
111
00:04:27.990 --> 00:04:29.550
be facing the catastrophe
112
00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:32.023
that we're envisioning today.
113
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:36.170
That now I understand the mission more clearly,
114
00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:39.300
and if I don't put myself to good use on this,
115
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.819
I feel I fail.
116
00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:43.236
[soft music]
117
00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:47.120
Our trying out period is over,
118
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.920
it's now or never.
119
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.593
They're all made 100% repurposed materials.
120
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:54.433
They're going to be made
121
00:04:54.433 --> 00:04:57.183
by the Syrian refugees in Amsterdam.
122
00:04:58.460 --> 00:05:00.430
That's how I get excited.
123
00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:01.830
That's how it gives purpose
124
00:05:01.830 --> 00:05:03.370
for us to continue doing it.
125
00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:05.655
And it's just so beautiful.
126
00:05:05.655 --> 00:05:07.750
[soft music]
127
00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:09.860
This is the reality, we're in a pandemic,
128
00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:11.700
and we have to find a way
129
00:05:11.700 --> 00:05:15.020
of how to create emotion and tell the story.
130
00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:16.854
And that's what we're gonna do.
131
00:05:16.854 --> 00:05:19.271
[soft music]
132
00:05:23.191 --> 00:05:25.774
[upbeat music]
133
00:05:26.756 --> 00:05:27.760
We're gonna show 100 years
134
00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:29.573
from the founder's birthday.
135
00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:33.130
And each period is a link in this chain.
136
00:05:33.130 --> 00:05:34.530
And the idea when you're working
137
00:05:34.530 --> 00:05:36.900
in a heritage brand is that you are that link,
138
00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:38.850
then strengthening it for the future.
139
00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:43.170
From Karl, to Stella, to Phoebe, to Natacha.
140
00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:45.220
Everybody puts its imprint.
141
00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:47.530
It's really how to create this product,
142
00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:49.100
not just the beauty,
143
00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:51.200
but how can we make it in a way
144
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:52.770
that it's sound and balanced
145
00:05:52.770 --> 00:05:56.040
with our fellow humans, and with the environment?
146
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.707
[upbeat music]
147
00:06:00.790 --> 00:06:02.701
I feel the spirit of Gaby Aghion
148
00:06:02.701 --> 00:06:04.810
very much with me.
149
00:06:04.810 --> 00:06:08.350
I really hope that she knows
150
00:06:08.350 --> 00:06:11.950
how much I respect the woman she was.
151
00:06:11.950 --> 00:06:14.413
My job is to honor and celebrate her.
152
00:06:14.413 --> 00:06:17.080
[upbeat music]
153
00:06:27.340 --> 00:06:28.253
Oh my gosh.
154
00:06:29.372 --> 00:06:31.728
This hourglass.
Right.
155
00:06:31.728 --> 00:06:33.693
I feel like champagne.
[men laughing]
156
00:06:33.693 --> 00:06:35.477
Like I'm just gonna, whoo!
157
00:06:35.477 --> 00:06:36.310
Whoo!
158
00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:37.779
[men laughing]
159
00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:40.446
[upbeat music]
160
00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:45.340 line:15%
When an artist
161
00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:46.710 line:15%
like Regina approach you,
162
00:06:46.710 --> 00:06:48.480 line:15%
and ask you to design something
163
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.760
for such an historical moment,
164
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:53.395
is really a great inspiration.
165
00:06:53.395 --> 00:06:55.742
[upbeat music]
166
00:06:55.742 --> 00:06:59.440
Her desire was to be very bold, very glamorous.
167
00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:03.040
All those ideas together came in collaboration
168
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.040
with her stylists to illustrate her dream dress.
169
00:07:08.140 --> 00:07:10.080
So then we start to design.
170
00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:12.340
It's really an exchange of drawings,
171
00:07:12.340 --> 00:07:13.870
of samples of fabric,
172
00:07:13.870 --> 00:07:15.490
samples of embroidery,
173
00:07:15.490 --> 00:07:17.980
silhouettes, different shapes.
174
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:20.360
When it's time to realize the dress,
175
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.280
the crafting is so specific,
176
00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:23.350
and there is hundreds
177
00:07:23.350 --> 00:07:26.350
of hours of embroidery and realization.
178
00:07:26.350 --> 00:07:28.070
It's a few weeks work
179
00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:30.165
that involve a lot of people.
180
00:07:30.165 --> 00:07:31.420
[upbeat music]
181
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:34.620
What is very specific with Regina's dress
182
00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:36.940
is the duality of the design.
183
00:07:36.940 --> 00:07:38.510
It's really the game
184
00:07:38.510 --> 00:07:40.880
between revealing the body,
185
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:42.880
and covering the body.
186
00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:46.540
This dress represent a very glamorous armor,
187
00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:49.510
and I think it's what she wanted to feel.
188
00:07:49.510 --> 00:07:51.570
It is always wonderful to imagine
189
00:07:51.570 --> 00:07:55.800
the moment when the artist will try the dress.
190
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.210
You dream about it,
191
00:07:57.210 --> 00:07:58.730
you picture it in your head,
192
00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:01.173
but there is nothing better than see it in real.
193
00:08:03.561 --> 00:08:06.478
[airplane roaring]
194
00:08:09.549 --> 00:08:10.721
Hello.
Hello!
195
00:08:10.721 --> 00:08:12.480
[laughing]
196
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.532
I can't wait to, oh!
197
00:08:14.532 --> 00:08:15.702
[laughing]
198
00:08:15.702 --> 00:08:18.444
Okay, let's get this one on!
199
00:08:18.444 --> 00:08:21.526
[laughing]
200
00:08:21.526 --> 00:08:24.193
[upbeat music]
201
00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:27.070
This one is so special.
202
00:08:27.070 --> 00:08:30.450
Regina's motion picture directorial debut.
203
00:08:30.450 --> 00:08:32.340 line:15%
We're really thankful to the Vuitton team
204
00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:35.507 line:15%
for really understanding what this moment meant,
205
00:08:35.507 --> 00:08:37.350
and how special it is for her.
206
00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:39.800
So much Regina in it.
207
00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:41.500
And just this neckline.
208
00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:43.070
The way it wraps around.
209
00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:45.340
This fabric is like an embrace.
210
00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:46.520
We really wanted to find a way
211
00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:48.890
to infuse metals and mix metals together.
212
00:08:48.890 --> 00:08:52.320
From the onyx, to the gold, into the silver.
213
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.810
And between each color,
214
00:08:54.810 --> 00:08:56.800
there are infused crystals in there.
215
00:08:56.800 --> 00:08:58.330
We went back and forth for a while
216
00:08:58.330 --> 00:09:00.267
on how to make it very special,
217
00:09:00.267 --> 00:09:01.550
and very beautiful,
218
00:09:01.550 --> 00:09:03.250
and nuanced details
219
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:05.460
that we always love to incorporate in gowns.
220
00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.140
And I think it's gonna be amazing.
221
00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:08.585
It's gonna be stunning.
222
00:09:08.585 --> 00:09:11.168
[upbeat music]
223
00:09:21.833 --> 00:09:23.281
Cornbread, I know.
224
00:09:23.281 --> 00:09:24.679
I know.
[men laughing]
225
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:25.779
Cornbread, come here!
226
00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:27.283
Come here!
227
00:09:27.283 --> 00:09:29.170
You are one of the women nominated
228
00:09:29.170 --> 00:09:30.430
for best director tonight.
229
00:09:30.430 --> 00:09:31.621
Yes I am.
230
00:09:31.621 --> 00:09:32.623
How do you feel about that,
231
00:09:32.623 --> 00:09:34.090
and what's that say about culture today?
232
00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:37.260
It says that we still have a long way to go.
233
00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:40.510
It gives hope to what the landscape
234
00:09:40.510 --> 00:09:43.860
of women directors will look like soon to come.
235
00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:46.220
We are holding that window open,
236
00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:48.300
so that there are many others
237
00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:50.303
to follow behind us that are talented.
238
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.119
And this moment, oh my gosh.
239
00:09:56.119 --> 00:09:57.510
[upbeat music]
240
00:09:57.510 --> 00:09:59.620
It's been, you know, a heavy year.
241
00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:01.880
To bring some joy, and remind us
242
00:10:01.880 --> 00:10:05.140
how much fun, the coming together as a team,
243
00:10:05.140 --> 00:10:06.070
and dressing up.
244
00:10:06.070 --> 00:10:08.010
If you turn the camera around,
245
00:10:08.010 --> 00:10:09.431
it's a whole village!
246
00:10:09.431 --> 00:10:11.650
[laughing]
247
00:10:11.650 --> 00:10:12.483
[upbeat music]
248
00:10:12.483 --> 00:10:15.520
So it was just a celebration of that.
249
00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:16.900
How are you doing?
250
00:10:16.900 --> 00:10:20.360
I'm wonderful, Karamo, how are you?
251
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.193
I am good.
252
00:10:21.193 --> 00:10:22.026
Can we just, first of all,
253
00:10:22.026 --> 00:10:23.820
talk about what you have on, what you're wearing?
254
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:24.750
You look stunning.
255
00:10:24.750 --> 00:10:25.930
Thank you so much.
256
00:10:25.930 --> 00:10:27.430
I'm wearing Louis Vuitton.
257
00:10:28.904 --> 00:10:31.571
