00:00You're a black woman, and this is Black Dandyism, and I gotta come see you.
00:04How are you?
00:04I'm doing good.
00:05Very well.
00:06You look amazing.
00:07Tell me about your look.
00:08Who are you wearing?
00:09I'm wearing paragama, and Max Davis and I collaborated on the look, and, you know, he killed it.
00:15You know, it's just some silk with some cashmere and a robe, a robe coat, so, yeah, it's feeling good.
00:22Very hard on nights.
00:23It looks...
00:24Yeah, I've been hearing that, you know?
00:26So good, good.
00:27How important or significant does the theme feel to you as a black man?
00:31Oh, very significant.
00:32I mean, like, expressing ourselves has been the way we've been able to communicate and engage in change and conversation on a global stage for a long time,
00:39so it's nice to be able to pay homage to that, like, all the ancestors, you know, were laying it down and expressing themselves through their fashion ever since we've been doing it,
00:49so I'm just glad to be here honoring that, and I'm happy about it.
00:52And I want to ask, I think I've seen you on set doing some dance moves, Tiana Taylor, Aaron Pierre, how much fun are you having?
01:00Oh, yeah, absolutely.
01:01Me and Tiana was just talking about doing another one soon, so, yeah, y'all might see us doing it again.
01:05It's so fun, you know what I mean?
01:07So good, wholesome fun.
01:09Are you heading to any after parties?
01:11Oh, yeah, absolutely.
01:11I'll be at all of them.
01:12I'm going to stop by for a second.
