Tell me all about this.

Well, I'm wearing Sergio Hudson.

[gasps] Get in here.

The amazing Sergio Hudson, who's right over here.

And I mean, this is just a beautiful ode to,

I guess we're talking about Josephine Baker

in her glory days.

Yeah.

After the banana dress.

And obviously, a little bit of ode

to Chanel of the '90s with Karl.

[Emma] Was there one of those things

where you presented this concept to her, and that was it,

or was it a collaboration?

She definitely let me have my way. [laughs]

Oh, amazing.

From hair to makeup to everything,

it was really fun.

Yes. Yes.

I had this...

Of course, I'm a designer,

so I had this elaborate thought that it was, okay,

Josephine Baker in her heyday,

which was late '50s, early '60s.

Karl was there too.

So we wanted to do an ode to old Hollywood,

and just had a lot of fun.

[Emma] Yes. It looks fun, though.

Thank you. It does look fun.

Do you like being a canvas,

or do you like being in the weeds and like-

No, no, no, no.

I love to directed, I love to be a muse.

I love to be a doll, as the kids say, honey.

So take me, dress me up, make me over.

I live for it.

[Emma] Yes, that's my vibe. I love it.

You guys did the most beautiful job.

Go have fun in there.

[Keke] Thank you, you too.

[Emma] You look great, baby. I'll see you later.

Thank you.

I love it.
