00:00Hi, how are you?
00:02Do you want to hold this or I can hold it for you?
00:04Either way. This is amazing.
00:08This is absolutely amazing. Tell me everything about it.
00:10Well, it's Madame Sarah Burton's
00:12from Givenchy.
00:14It's taken from her runway, but we had a look at some of the archival pieces
00:18from Lima Queen and Givenchy
00:20and sort of created a piece together.
00:22Amazing.
00:23And what we loved about the idea of doing the Superfine Tandy and Superfine's tailoring
00:29is that we could go back to the Rococo era, which is why you have the Bloomer.
00:34Love! Oh, and the boot!
00:36Zoom in on the boot. Everybody, you must see these boots.
00:40Wow, those are amazing. Amazing.
00:42What elements of your personal style are really present in this look in particular?
00:46Well, I think I'm a maximalist by all means. I can't help it.
00:50Yes.
00:51So, we talked about what we wanted when it came to the embroidery
00:55and the embellishment on the jacket here.
00:57I sat at the table with her, she sketched.
00:59Yeah.
01:00So, we were, it started from the very beginning.
01:02Absolutely.
01:03So, all of the sort of, one from the corset, because I love a corset.
01:06Yep.
01:07I like the tailoring that it brings to a piece.
01:09Same here.
01:10The finishing it is.
01:11Yep.
01:12And when we decided that we knew we wanted embellishment,
01:14she and I decided how we want it to be.
01:16So, the degradation is definitely part of that.
01:18Yes.
01:19It's the quiet and the loud at the same time.
01:21It's so magic.
01:22Yeah.
01:23It's so magic.
01:24It's been like put together.
