The comments that we got were Big Bed, this, Looney Tunes, that, and I'm like, oh my god, great, job well done
0:06
He was thrilled. I was thrilled. Hi, I'm Lisa Rinna. Hi, I'm Daniel Brown
0:10
And today we're going to go behind the looks with Who What Wear. We met in New York
0:22
New York City. New York City at the... It was in Columbus Circle
0:25
Mandarin Oriental. And we met for a drink, but really quick because I only had like..
0:29
Oh, it was like 10 minutes. A super short amount of time because I was already there for Fashion Week
0:33
You were doing Fashion Week, yeah. And I was already doing it. And then we met and it was like the heavens like exploded
0:41
I remember I said something to her like, if we're going to do this, we're going to start from scratch
0:46
And she said something to me like, I would make a trash bag look couture, honey
0:50
Did I? And I was like. I was like. Did I really? Wow. I was like
0:54
Falsy. And it went from there. That was really y then, wasn't it
0:58
Yeah, but I loved it. And I was just like, this is the dream client
1:03
Wow. Okay, so Richard Quinn. This was our very dear Richard Quinn
1:07
For paper magazine party. So we shot an incredible paper magazine shoot with our dear friend Justin, the editor-in-chief of paper
1:14
And we were throwing this exhibition for the shoot. So the exhibition very nearly never happened
1:21
And we made it happen. We sure did. You did brill it. I didn't sleep until it happened
1:26
But we used Richard Quinn in the shoot and we wanted to celebrate one of the designers that we had shot and worn in the shoot
1:33
And so Richard loves Lisa. Lisa loves Richard. And I had been to his show in London
1:38
So I loved it so much. I remember this coming down the runway. Yeah, we flew it in from London and it was amazing
1:45
Yeah. This was a moment. This was really quite a moment. And I'm in the pouring rain right there, by the way
1:50
Right. Pouring rain. Pouring rain. No tent. No umbrella. No. This was the 2023 British Fashion Awards and she attended with a designer called Chetlow
2:02
who is an incredible designer that was nominated that night. Yes. And you had fun
2:07
I had such a good time and my daughter was there. My youngest daughter was also going with another designer, which makes it even that much more fun
2:16
And Chetlow designed this dress and we were looking at drawings before and we had really no idea
2:23
but I was again game. I mean, why not? Yeah, we went with a punk rock look
2:28
You know, Chatlow's aesthetic is, you know, all of these incredible spikes that he does through knitwear
2:33
And so with it being black and with it being spikes, we, you know, we incorporated that into the hair and makeup as well
2:38
And she had a moment. This was the first fashion week after starting to work together
2:44
Yes. And this was the Harpers Bazaar France, which they were just relaunching
2:49
Yeah. and the assistant or the Mugler team came to put me in that dress with those gloves
2:57
There was another look. I can't remember what the other look was, but I remember being on FaceTime to you at like 3 a.m
3:02
And you were like, no, where the other one is. There was some drama around this. Yeah, but we ended up with this one
3:08
and I'm glad because that is hot. That's one of my favorite ones we've done. I know. It was fabulous
3:12
This is Archive Mugler, so that was a moment. That was a moment. I love that
3:17
Loved that look. Wow. Ah, the Goutier! I loved this look I loved this too because it was really classic Goutier Yeah this was the Gautier show in the Couture Week It was the Couture Week yeah yeah
3:32
And this was another moment of me going, because, you know, I go to the fashion houses for the fittings
3:37
and Daniel's not there, so he's, you know, up in the middle of the night
3:42
And I have the fittings with the teams. Right. But, I mean, also as well, because the fashion houses love hair so much
3:48
we always have the best looks on the rack anyway. And you do have good choices. And so there's confidence always that everything's going to look good on her anyway
3:55
So this was a good moment. It was chic, you know? It was chic. And I remember you saying, do fishnets
4:01
Do fishnets. And we found those shoes at the last minute. I mean, it's always like, there's always a little moment of something that happens
4:08
And you said, let's add the red gloves. Because we tried it on with black gloves
4:12
Yeah, it didn't work. It didn't work. This was great. This was cute. I liked it. It was flirty and fun
4:17
Yeah. Richard. This is my favorite look ever. This is honestly the favorite one
4:22
I don't think you could believe I was actually going to put that on and do it
4:26
No. And you know what? You know about this look is that, especially as a stylist in my aesthetic with what I do
4:33
I never like to be that stylist the next day on Instagram where people scroll and forget
4:37
about it. I always like to be the stylist where they scroll back up and they're like, do I love
4:41
or hate that? And so we knew we were going to get heat for this, but I knew that it was going to be a moment
4:46
and the moments and the shock factor in everything that we've done
4:50
is what's propelled us into this space that we're in right now. It's really true
4:54
And so, although it's very humorous, it's very fashion, it's very couture
4:59
and I think, you know, in terms of building characters with my clients
5:02
and especially Lisa, every single outfit is a different character, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a literal character
5:09
but it's something that shocks people, and this was one, I think, out of everything we've done
5:14
where people were like, what the is that? But it created a movement and it was insane
5:21
It's Richard Quinn and it was for Paper Magazine. And I had so much fun doing it with that thing over my face
5:26
Yeah, like I want to see people dressed as this for Halloween, you know? Me too, and you know what's so ironic
5:31
I'd been to the show in London and they had sent me two of these looks
5:36
Oh, I remember and you said you couldn't get it on. It's foam
5:40
Yeah, it's foam. And I didn't have anybody there to dress me and I literally went, oh my God, there's no possible way
5:47
And you couldn't sit at a fashion show in that. There's no way. You imagine
5:51
I couldn't even put it on by myself. So I remember calling my friend who was going to the show. And I showed it to him
5:55
I said, I can't put this on. He goes, hold on a minute
5:59
He called Richard Quinn's office and they ended up sending me that coat
6:03
That floral coat. That was also gorgeous. It was fabulous. But I couldn't have gotten that on
6:08
I couldn't even have gotten it on with people in the room. I would sleep in that if I could
6:12
So this was Givenchy for Numero magazine. We did the cover of Numero Netherlands
6:18
And it was shot by Dana Tripp, who I love. And I wanted you to work with
6:23
God, I love her. That was so fun. Oh my god, it was the best. We did 13 looks that day
6:28
Which is half impossible. Half impossible. With wigs. I was determined. Every look had a different wig
6:34
Again, this is about building a character. And it was like Daphne off Scooby-Doo, you know? We wanted to just jump into character
6:39
It was so much fun. to be you know as editorial as we can and I think with Lisa especially I'm game
6:45
your game and I think more game in editorials because we can decide not to use the image if we don like it that much but I think trying things with you in shoots leads to a clearer and more open mind when we try things in Fintans
6:58
It's like, we know that's going to work, so let's do it again. Yeah. But I love this look
7:03
I do too. Oh. Another Richard Quinn. There's actually a funny story behind this
7:08
This was the evening after the British Fashion Awards. That I was in the rain, standing there
7:13
The pouring rain, but we had this amazing look from Richard Quinn. And I was going to go the after part
7:17
But then I said, I don't want to go to the after party. And I said, well, we still got to take pictures in the look
7:22
Like, we can't not wear this look. We ran up to your room
7:25
I pulled my wig off. She pulled her wig off. I slicked my own hair back like that
7:30
Slicked her own. And we went down to the hotel lobby. And shot those
7:34
And shot those on my iPhone on the staircase. And it was like 1 a.m. in the morning
7:42
And we were in the elevator with a camera. We were, everyone was like, what are you guys doing? And by the way, so was everybody else. Yeah
7:47
Like the top models. Yes. Some of the biggest girls in the world are in the elevator shooting shots
7:55
It was fun. But we had to get this shot, look. The dress was so good
7:59
It's feathers. You have to look closely. It's feathers laying on each other
8:03
It's beautiful dress. We shot a similar look, but it was a jumpsuit
8:07
And again, it had the high neck. And it was for paper magazine. And it was in pink. And it was feathers as well with paper dots
8:13
I just love it. His work is so brilliant. We had to shoot it. This is so funny. and the shoes of Jimmy Choo
8:17
but this moment was hilarious to me because it was 1 a.m
8:21
I had been out since like 7 a.m. Waiting for you in the lobby to get back
8:25
And I'm really sopping wet. I hadn't even touched my makeup off. And I just took the wig off
8:29
I thought you were going to stay in glam. I'm getting her changed. I think I was steaming the dress
8:33
and the wig out the corner of my eye just got ripped. I'm like, okay, let's go. We had to do a different look
8:37
We couldn't do the wig again. Oh my God. This was a big moment
8:45
Yeah. That was pretty amazing. This was for the cover of Numero Netherlands and it's Victor and Wolf
8:52
And we wanted it to be the cover. Yeah, we wanted it. We really did. This was the last look that we shot as well
8:57
It was. And I think we were nearly running out of time. And I'm like, there's no way we're not shooting this look
9:01
Oh, no, we shot two of them because we shot the bikini one with the three bikinis too
9:06
But this was the one that was really special. And I remember we were going to do a different hair
9:11
And I was like, we've got to do a blonde buzz cut or blonde short hair
9:16
because I almost wanted it to look like a little bit of a punk Barbie, you know
9:20
And this, you know, difference between this crazy hair and makeup with this pretty look that just works
9:29
Yeah, it's very BarbieCon. Well, we shot it in the BarbieCon era, you know
9:34
Yeah, it was when the whole hype about Barbie was happening. This was for the Rabanne show in Paris
9:41
This is the look where Lisa put her own glasses on. Ah, it is. He had no idea
9:45
He never has any idea because I never tell him. Well, she shouts at me for not sleeping
9:49
And so I got an hour's sleep. And it was when she was at the show. It was the last show of the day
9:53
And so I was like, you know what? She's dressed. I can go to sleep for an hour. And I woke up
9:58
And this publication had done this video of her. And she's like, and Daniel doesn't know that I'm wearing the glasses
10:03
But he will when he wakes up. And I was like, but luckily they worked. But I remember I'm one of those stylists that sits on Getty Images and refreshes
10:11
And this look is fantastic. You know, it's amazing. but it entire silk And so I look at Getty Images and the entire back had come undone and I like Luckily Lisa the easiest and best person in the world
10:24
and didn't give me a horror story about it. Somebody came and fixed it for me
10:28
I think and said, you know, your whole ass is showing. Yeah. But who better that to happen to than Lisa
10:35
That's right. And then I want to tell you another thing. It was again like 90 degrees in this show
10:40
And I am sitting there and I get up and I completely sweat through the dress
10:47
And it's like silk, whatever. So it is like dark all around my vagina area, right
10:54
And oh, I mean, it is not cute. And I thought, shit, what am I going to do
10:59
Because the little bag that's in my hand is not going to cover anything
11:03
But luckily, I had also brought the glasses container. It's like a velvet chartreuse pouch
11:10
And I brought that with me, thank God, because when I went outside, there's like thousands of paparazzi
11:16
And I knew that they would shoot me. So I took that little bag and put it in front of my sweat-stained vagina, basically
11:23
And they didn't get it. Luckily, we survived it. No, we avoided it
11:28
Oh, my God. This was our first red carpet together. It was Jean-Paul Gaultier couture
11:34
And it was for the Elton John AIDS Foundation party during Oscars week
11:39
You were so excited for this look. I did not sleep until I got my hands on this
11:44
Were you scared I would say no to this? I was not going to let you say no. I was like, I think I remember showing you it and you were so excited about it
11:52
But then I think when we tried it on for the first time, we didn't quite know where to put the arms
11:56
We didn't. Remember, we had no idea and you had to call them
12:00
Yeah, because it was kind of coming off and on. We didn't know what to do and they said, oh, there's little slits in there
12:05
Because we were like, what are those holes? And they were like, you put their arms through. And I had little thimbles on every single finger on those gloves
12:11
Right. Yeah. I think this was another look, though, where people were like, what the is that
12:16
They were. They were, of course. They were so freaked out by this. But then other people who like no fashion were gagged
12:23
They were so gagged by it. Gagged. Like, people that go to couture shows, there were a handful of them there
12:27
Of course. And they were the people we want to impress, you know? And they were coming up to me, like, bowing down
12:31
And it was, like, amazing. And it just worked. Yeah. It's so funny because people think that, like, I had some secret scheming plan
12:39
Right. That I went from Housewives and became this fashionista all of a sudden overnight
12:44
Now, truth be told, I have loved fashion since I grew up in Medford, Oregon and got my first, you know, Mademoiselle and Vogue magazine
12:51
I have been a lover of fashion my whole entire life. And so it just took for ever to get to this point where I left the show
13:01
and it was almost like I got out of prison and all of a sudden, you know, I was like gypsy Blanchard
13:09
and everybody wants to work. No, it's true though. We love her
13:15
We want to dress her. Seriously though, I don't know how it happened because everybody said no
13:21
Yeah, they did. And now they say yes and we love it. Yeah. Thanks for watching
13:25
Thank you. Tell us what you loved and what you hated in the comments. Actually, tell us really what you hated
13:30
Tell us what you hated. No, you're not gonna hate it. It's all good. Be as sassy as you want
13:35
Be as y as you want. We don't care
