00:00Hi, Brut. Hi, Bru. That's how we say in South Africa. I'm African. Hi, Bru, how's it going?
00:12I just love being back at Lakhri Fashion Week.
00:20What's the most expensive thing in your wardrobe?
00:22Probably my watches. Watches, shoes, everything is expensive, but nowadays I don't spend much.
00:28I just bought a watch which is very expensive.
00:30I am obsessed with shoes, so I think the most expensive thing in my wardrobe would be a couple of my pairs of shoes.
00:36You want to know the amount also or what?
00:38That'd be nice.
00:39No.
00:39Oh, yeah, there's nothing very expensive, I would say.
00:42Not really, can't really think of like something which is extraordinarily expensive.
00:46Shoes.
00:47A bag, definitely. A Goyard bag.
00:50So, what is the cheapest thing in your wardrobe?
00:52Me? Cheapest? I mean, I have a lot of those and I wear them a lot.
00:57Oh, so much. I'm a Delhi girl, I grew up here, went to Delhi University, so Janpath and Sarojini Nagar were my jam.
01:04Maybe some t-shirts worth 600 bucks.
01:09Jeans and a t-shirt, like very cheap. Sarojini, I bought it from somewhere.
01:12Oh, my like basic t-shirts, basic white t-shirts for like, I don't know, 499 something.
01:17So, today, hair and makeup was about, I would say three hours.
01:29It was like one hour and a half makeup.
01:32I think I take like, I don't know, like two hours.
01:37So, they don't do it at the same time. They do like some parts of your makeup and then the designer comes and checks if he likes it or he wants to change something.
01:45So, it can take a very long time.
01:47I think for men, it's very easy, like it takes hardly for us to 10 to 15 minutes to get ready.
01:53When the people watch it, so that it looks a very simple and a very well choreographed thing, but backstage, it's all a mess.
02:00After the rehearsals, we are not allowed to eat a lot so that the outfits don't get too tight.
02:05Rehearsals are pretty much exactly what the show looks like.
02:08It's just a lot of yelling by the choreographer that don't do this, don't do that.
02:12The design is made a month ago.
02:15Then, the show is planned a month ago.
02:17Then, the fitting is done.
02:19Then, planning a set up for a show.
02:21Then, selecting the models.
02:23We have been here since a week, like fittings and meeting the designer and everything.
02:29Today, we were here like seven hours to do refittings because they had to do the clothes according to our measurements.
02:39So, we have to do again fittings and then the rehearsal.
02:43We did rehearsal three times.
02:45So, it takes also a long time.
