While practicing how to say "bonjour" and "très bien" with the Vogue France team, Felix, member of k-pop superstars 'Stray Kids,' heads to Barcelona to attend the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 show.

"My first time here in Barcelona. I'm just starting to love this country," says Felix as he soaks in the vitamin D on the shores of the Spanish metropolis. While cloaked in a silver-lined coat, hands covered in white gold, the Australian rapper and singer speaks with Vogue France about walking the runway for Nicolas Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton, learning about "ouah," and the incredible impact of Stray Kids's music around the globe.

00:00 It was one of my most happiest and memorable moments of my life.
00:04 Bonjour, comment ça va?
00:06 Très bien.
00:07 Bonjour.
00:27 Hi, this is Drake, it's Felix.
00:29 You want to come in?
00:30 Let's go.
00:31 Come this way.
00:32 So I'm here in Barcelona for the Louis Vuitton Cruise Show 2025.
00:41 My first time here in Barcelona.
00:43 I'm just starting to love this country.
00:46 The weather is yet very chilly,
00:48 and at the same time you can feel the sunlight that's very bright.
00:53 And I can just feel that vitamin D just entering my body.
00:55 Come with me.
00:56 We're getting ready to complete our fitting.
01:00 And yeah, let's get going.
01:02 So this is a very big door I've never seen.
01:05 When I look at the bigger picture,
01:08 it's just fascinating to see a lot of people,
01:12 Westerners that are interested in the Korean tradition,
01:16 the way we feel, the way we dress,
01:20 especially the way we dress.
01:21 I feel that a lot of people take inspiration from,
01:24 I feel like that's what people find very special in Korean culture.
01:28 Definitely music is also an impactful part,
01:32 such as Korean pop.
01:34 Even with our music, through Stray Kids' music as well,
01:37 we've given a lot of impact to a lot of our fans,
01:40 our stays all around the world.
01:42 I feel that fans also do lead up to.
01:44 So not only is there music,
01:46 but there's food, and then there's clothing,
01:49 and then there's like drama.
01:51 So in that sort of sense,
01:52 we kind of teach them that,
01:54 and we let them learn and kind of let them have the fun of
01:58 learning what our culture really is like.
02:00 I've been told you speak French.
02:11 No.
02:12 I don't speak French.
02:13 Oh, I mean, I did learn French,
02:16 but as I became a trainee,
02:18 I then stopped learning.
02:21 I only know a few.
02:22 I'm not the best.
02:25 I only know the basics.
02:26 For example,
02:27 "Bonjour, comment ça va?"
02:29 "Très bien."
02:30 That's one of the languages I love,
02:32 or words I love using.
02:34 "Désolé, je suis en contrat."
02:35 Which is "I'm sorry I'm late."
02:37 Because one time, late to my French class,
02:40 and yeah, that's what my French teacher would say.
02:43 There was one word that I learned.
02:45 "Ouais."
02:46 You know, when you say yes,
02:47 but like, kind of to friends, "Ouais."
02:50 Yeah, instead of "oui," it's "oui."
02:52 "Ouais."
02:52 Yeah.
02:53 I have a friend that says like,
02:56 "Ouais."
02:56 I'm like, "What are you saying, 'Ouais'?"
02:58 Like, "Why?"
02:59 And like, "Why are you saying it like that?"
03:00 And apparently that's what it was.
03:01 It's a slang for yes.
03:02 Yes.
03:03 The fact that I got to attend
03:14 and do my first runway
03:15 for Nicolas' 10th anniversary runway,
03:19 honestly, it just blew my mind.
03:21 It was always one of my dreams to do on the runway,
03:25 and yet Nicolas just inviting me and saying,
03:27 "Oh, I really want you to do this runway,
03:30 wearing this piece."
03:32 And so just in that moment,
03:34 I was very shocked.
03:36 I was surprised, and it was one of my most happiest
03:40 and memorable moments in my life.
03:42 So yeah, it's unbelievable.
03:43 Even wearing these pieces,
03:44 honestly, it's one of a gift.
03:47 Today, I'm wearing the long coat
03:49 with the silver lining,
03:51 and also with the white long pants and white shirt,
03:54 and with his bag, signature bag right here.
03:57 And also I'm wearing the white gold
03:59 with the diamond arm jewelry.
04:01 So it goes with along my hair color stunningly.
04:05 Yeah, it just fits so well.
04:07 And this was the first fitting that we did,
04:10 and it was straight on.
04:11 We have to go with this look straight away.
04:13 So yeah, it was great.
04:15 Thank you, Vogue, for getting ready with me.
04:17 I heard the show was at the park,
04:19 so I'll see you there.
04:20 Thank you.
