0:21

by naomi campbell she's a global style icon and one of the most recognizable supermodels of all time you can catch her on her interview series no filter on the naomi youtube channel as well as the docu-series the supermodels which is coming soon to apple tv

0:34

naomi campbell welcome to the show thank you so much sean thank you for having me before we get started how into hot sauce are you like when you go to brixton market you just load up on the caribbean scotch bonnet sauces well first it was one it was jamaican hot sauce

0:51

then it grew into a cave i went to rwanda i got rwanda hot sauce i went to sicily i've got sicilian hot sauce i went to nigeria i got nigerian hustle so now i have a bag of four horses well i look forward to introducing you to a bunch of new ones today are you

1:06

ready to get started i know all of them like fire to me [Music] actually i'm going to do a little shake shawn because sometimes with these liquidy ones they get a bit like the liquid stays on top and you lose the peppers so i'm going to do a little shake and

1:34

then i'm going to pour that's fine yes especially in transit you know like we're doing this on uh opposite sides of the pond over here so uh that's good to shake it up okay [Music] it's good it's mild i'm enjoying this mild zone show so as we mentioned up top you have an

2:01

interview series called no filter where you and a guest ponder life's great questions at the intersection of culture and fashion and i thought that your conversation with marc jacobs was really interesting on fashion during quarantine is it possible to make my sweatpants

2:17

look oat couture i think sweatpants have long been controlled before the the quarantine happened i mean you had ricardo t-shirt juventus doing it and taking streetwear and really just bringing it to like high fashion i mean i just stand constantly in a

2:36

burberry or a luchy tracksuit or a or a champion or a valentino know whatever i feel comfortably what are the chances that we see a designer hazmat suit on the runway sometime in the next year i think there's big chances i mean i've been asked to put my house in that

2:55

suit into an exit into a um a museum they asked me for the one that i actually wore and my burberry cake that i put on top of it so i'm going to give it so um very possible [Music] tasty they're tasty i said i had indian food last night

3:21

this might remind you of that [Music] oh god i got mama so we can't have a naomi campbell interview without talking about style in the 90s a decade that really redefined the fashion industry as a whole if you were to put together a timeline of watershed moments that took

3:40

fashion out of this niche exclusionary world and entered the era of supermodels being celebrities and household names what would be some of the marquee events on that timeline that's a very big answer that you asked for me and i can only tell you so much but um

3:57

it's designers like johnny versace as you know liar you said alone that basically put us all together that's when we kind of saw things turn because back in the day the models that used to do the fashion shows were separate from the models that

4:14

used to do the photographs and the magazines and i feel like my error really came that's my the era that i come from kind of came in and mixed the two together and solidified it as stay in that way veteran artists often have gripes with young rappers who aren't familiar with

4:32

the catalogues of notorious big or tupac do you feel the same way about models who don't take the time to study design houses or learn the history very very smart question um i'm not sure today how far the what the models have time or make the time to do the research

4:56

about the designers that they worked for definitely in my era we did we didn't have anyone in between the model and designer so we had a much more intimate and personal relationship directly with them not discredited in any way it's just that now there's

5:11

more people there in between than before i'm not saying the models today don't get to be close to knowing designers but i feel like it was just more intimate well i just got a jamaican edge to it this one this one tastes to me like you know jamaican patties yeah yeah

5:37

this one gives that taste to me there is some uh some scotch bonnet pepper in this one yeah because i feel a little kickback under my tongue that's when you know it's rising according to ceo marco bizarri more than half of gucci's sales last year were to people

5:57

under the age of 35. do you have any insight as to why gucci seems to garner such strong favor particularly amongst young people i mean alexander i feel he loves to go into like the vintage and but do it in his own way so this generation they missed all that

6:15

i've seen it for them it's new you know what it means i get that they would be fascinated and love it where do you stand on celine casting tick-tock stars as show models is that a crime against fashion or is that genius i wasn't aware of it i've just been enlightened now

6:36

i don't see anything wrong with it people choose to be creative in their own in different ways so that's the way pettiness the man who wants to do his show when using tik tok stars then from there as someone who understands fashion's aberrations and eccentricity

6:52

how would you explain people wearing off-white with the zip tie tag still on the clothes how would you explain that to like my dad i don't know how to explain it to your dad but i have to tell you i had to at when i came when i first got my off-white i love mr virgil avlo

7:12

thank you so much i wasn't sure do i keep it on or do i take it off because my generation i would take it off my friend's son linda's son evangelista said no no you're supposed to keep it on so i'm like okay even on my sneakers yes you're supposed to keep it on

7:29

so that's how i became educated about keeping on the tag was through my friend lindy's son moki i'm not into smokey too much but let's give it a go i like barbecue i like the barbecue sauce this has kind of that barbecue smokey vibe to it i'd say this was my

7:51

least favorite so far let me have one more place these favorites so far not into the smoke so brixton where you grew up like harlem in new york or shibuya and tokyo it's one of these neighborhoods that you see emblazoned on fast fashion

8:12

t-shirts to connote a certain level of stylishness what does brixton really stand for and what do you think the fashion shorthand of brixton is even supposed to mean can i just say one name and that's sure to sum it up david bowie [Music] that's it it's music and it's fashion

8:31

says it all in one can't get any better than that can you what do you see is the biggest difference in the style sensibilities of americans versus brits oh no darling we're cutting edge we've always been cutting edge sorry to tell you we get it first you get it later

8:55

is from where uh we actually make this one believe it or not this is yours yeah we make this product but you know what naomi if you don't like it tell me the truth i know you always speak the truth i'll tell you the truth i'm i'm a straight up gemini i'm not gonna lie

9:10

hey i know that okay [Music] okay keeping in suspense i'm on the edge of my suit this is nice you can definitely mix this in a pasta sauce no yeah that's the move that's the move okay so i give it thumbs up wow humbled humbled all right naomi

9:38

campbell we have a recurring segment on our show called explain that gram where we do a deep dive on our guest instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context so i'll show you the picture you just tell us the bigger story here you are pictured with sasha baron

9:51

cohen as ali g do you find his bruno character to be an accurate depiction of the fashion industry's megalomaniacs oh sasha i love him um it's an exaggeration it's a caricature of the designers but it's not how they actually are enough but it's a fun caricature

10:11

i did ali g i was so nervous and sasha was so like sweet and trying to make me feel comfortable but then you know i'm always nervous before i do anything including this and then i'll get there and then i'll somehow overcome my fear next thing i've got the whip and i'm

10:30

like being dominant dominating being predominate tricks and you were a lot of fun i'm very happy i did it it's just so funny because it's just come up a lot in the last few days here we have the famous spill at the vivian westwood show maybe the most

10:43

famous runway spill of all time have you been able to run back the tape and figure out exactly what went wrong in that moment i don't have to run back the tape to watch it i can run back the tape in my head because first you think i just have white tights on

11:00

but they're not just white tights they're rubber so i couldn't feel my feet my toes so but also there's a there's a way to walk in vivian's westwards shoes you have to walk on your tiptoes not on the heels so you everything on the front not on the back

11:19

i just went walking like as if i was walking in a normal shoe no no no that's why i fell might be might be this might be the one so during a recent interview with mark jacobs you guys discussed his infamous grunge rock show for perry ellis in 1992. what do you remember about the reaction

11:44

to that show specifically and looking back what did critics get wrong well they were blown away i didn't know they didn't expect that i loved mark's conviction behind it because it's just what he wanted to do and it's what he loved and by the end of that show the whole

11:58

room loved it too the whole fashion edition of two and then it was everyone trying to shoot it yeah and i think it too kind of shows the intrinsic link between fashion and music you know because here comes this thing that's like a total disruption and total

12:12

reversal in large part because of this music trend that was going on in the pacific northwest with bands like nirvana it was great it was so perfect the timing of that and i mean there we were and the glamorous dresses the beautiful dresses the finale dresses and then it

12:30

just went upside down and that was you know and that's what it's about that's what makes it fun that's why i love what i do still after all these years because you never know what's gonna happen [Music] this one looks scary i'm trying to look

12:49

at your face i taste the vinegar i write about the vinegar it's okay but this one i know is gonna start burning me in five minutes this one is purely meant to make you feel fire so one of the things that's always fascinated me about the world of fashion

13:16

from the outside looking in is the complicated and savage politics of sitting front row why is sitting in the front row why is it such an object of obsession so important when you're in the front row seat you get to see everything from head to toe you're going to miss

13:33

a little bit as you go up higher you're in the show basically you're in it um you know the camera is gonna get you for me fashion shows have changed because now with the with the phone everyone's videoing so they don't clap as much as they used to

13:50

back in the day when i was in our heyday of doing shows it was so much fun the ambiance was amazing because then people were clapping and we could really feel the audience i mean it's all going to work out in the end you know what i mean there are worse

14:03

things to be worried about than a front row seat and fighting over a front row seat i should say [Music] it's a big step up huh thank you for the warning sean oh wow oh yeah yeah there's not even any and there's any hot sauce in it it's just pepper

14:32

there's fire oh my god yep i'm gonna go in for a sip too carefully i don't got that one at all i'm sorry i'm gonna have to put my tongue in milk there you go it's like a russian bath house lucky how so i've read that some of your favorite places to visit include brazil

15:05

egypt italy japan cambodia burma food wise where's your favorite place for a street food snack i can't speak [Music] my eyes are watering i love brazilian food indian food italian food [Applause] what i i love in brazilian food i love by bayan food from the south of brazil

15:38

16:11

16:31

and i'd feel helpless over here on the other side of the zoom you know okay [Music] wow that's numbing i feel like it's just like a deep profound pepper taste you know oh my lord of mercy give me strength here so as someone with a front row seat to the changes in

17:01

fashion over the last 30 years you have a unique view on the cyclical nature of culture what's one fashion trend that will never go away and then one that you hope never comes back the black dress is never going out of style and i'm not i'm into

17:19

whoa i'm not into crocs sorry crocs nothing against your brand it's just not my i find it a lazy shoe you've done a staggering thousand plus magazine covers in your life pound for pound which one is your favorite it's hard to pick a favor um of course i hope the ones that are there

17:40

that were first first to be the black english girl in my country of british vogue first to be the first black woman on the cover of frenchburg for me the ones that broke barriers for my culture first to be on the cover of time magazine all of those

17:58

18:45

[Music] okay naomi campbell here we are at the curtain call of our dinner date with the wings of death we've fully dissected your fashion point of view and challenged your unshakeable spice tolerance but to close things out i want to do an eyeball test i've always

19:08

marveled at the creativity and nerve of hot sauce makers that on the bottle can have everything from a friendly mascot turtle to a hellish landscape of fire and brimstone so to close things out i would be honored if you could maybe pick out a couple bottles tell me your

19:25

favorites tell me your least favorites but i want you to forget about taste this is all about the aesthetic and artistic appeal of the label the bomb is the worst because the bomb looks like a cd cover for music for other music it's like a music cover to me

19:45

hell on fire not into it either didn't no no no creativity there angry goat is cute i like angry girl and but the classic for me is the west indian because that's the classic to me because that's what they looked like to me when i was growing up those are what the

20:10

classic hot sauce bottles looked like with the face of a person you know back in the day well if i know shaquanda they're gonna be very excited about that and look at you naomi campbell conquering the hot ones gauntlet oh my goodness oh my god i was so scared

20:31
