00:00I woke up even before my alarm because I was like so excited to do this show.
00:09Well, so we got here at 6.30, very early.
00:13But we've been doing hair, makeup, I'm getting my nails finished.
00:16We're getting ready for the show.
00:18It's a beautiful, beautiful show as always.
00:23When you are a part of the show, you just live in the best life
00:28because you are the moment, everyone looking at you
00:32and you are showing yourself in that cool outfit.
00:35You get to see your friends, you get to catch up with people you haven't seen
00:38and at the same time you can feel everyone excited and a little bit nervous
00:43when you're like going for the lineup.
00:45So I think it's just a really big mix of emotions, but honestly I enjoy it.
00:50British style and like London is so free
00:54and everyone can wear what they want.
00:59People here are really creative
01:00and they're at the same time really kind with their models
01:03and the people that are putting that dream together.
01:06And that's something that me as someone that is always backstage can really appreciate.
01:13We are having quite a nice, fresh summer loop.
01:19A bit of like French Riviera, Irish countryside type of thing.
01:25I just love getting everyone ready and seeing everyone transform
01:29and then at the end have the show as the end result, which is great.
01:34I want to give it to you.
