00:00 Okay, first of all, come on,
00:01 get me into this look immediately.
00:03 - I went, "Hey, Colin Howen, hey, Colin Howen."
00:08 Yeah, that's what I'm wearing.
00:10 - And what inspired it?
00:11 Because it's body for that.
00:13 - I felt like I was coming at the VMAs
00:14 and I wanted to do something out of the box.
00:16 'Cause I feel like all the iconic moments,
00:18 all the iconic, rare, popular moments come from the VMAs.
00:22 Like Lil' Kim in the purple.
00:25 And I just feel like that's your time
00:26 to show your fashion moment, like yeah.
00:29 So that's what inspired me.
00:31 - And one thing I love that you just mentioned
00:33 is the fact that Lil' Kim and women in hip hop
00:36 have always been serving fashion.
00:38 And I wanna talk about that importance for you
00:40 growing up and seeing these red carpets
00:42 and seeing the girls pull the baddest looks.
00:45 Like what did that feel like for you?
00:46 And then, like you said, to be able to do it yourself today.
00:49 - Well, I'm so happy to just be a part,
00:51 like to be a part of that moment now.
00:53 So when I think about it, I'm like,
00:54 you gotta go, you gotta make your moment,
00:56 you gotta make your mark
00:57 so you can have your iconic moment like the ones before you.
01:01 - And you're doing it, you're doing it.
01:02 I can't wait to see these photos.
01:04 I know the whole look is, like, I just,
01:05 I can't wait to see what I'm gonna see on Instagram
01:07 'cause I know it's gonna be done up.
01:09 'Cause they can't even see the legs.
01:11 They can't even see the legs.
01:14 Come on, show 'em the legs.
01:16 - Woo!
01:17 - And before we get outta here,
01:19 I wanna know what is your favorite VMA memory?
01:23 - When Beyonce announced her pregnancy.
01:25 With Blue Ivy.
01:27 - The mic drop.
01:28 - Oh, she was like.
01:29 - And then, now we got Blue Ivy on the tour.
01:33 Did you go?
01:34 You went, right?
01:34 - Yeah, I went to the one in LA on her birthday.
01:37 - What was that like?
01:39 - Oh my God, it was so amazing.
01:40 It's like something you gotta see twice.
01:41 You ever felt something so good,
01:43 you're like, I gotta experience that again?
01:45 That's how I felt, like I have to go again.
01:47 - I went in New York and I'm really trying to go to Houston
01:49 'cause I know the hometown.
01:51 - Oh yeah, gotta go.
01:53 - So I'ma see you at another one, I'm sure.
01:55 - Yeah, you gotta see me in Houston if you go.
01:56 - Okay, let's go.
01:57 Let's go together.
01:58 - Houston, we got a problem.
02:00 - You're ignorant.
02:01 (laughing)
02:02 Thank you so much and enjoy.
02:04 Have fun tonight.
