- Hi, Vogue!
I am Hunter Schaefer and I am here in Chinatown today.
I'm waiting for my best friend and stylist, Dara,
to come meet up with me
and we're gonna go vintage shopping in James Veloria
in this little mall here.
[upbeat music]
- Hi sis! - Hey!
Oh my goodness!
- [laughing] I have coffee for you.
- Oh, thank you. - There you go.
Ready to go shopping? - Let's go shopping.
You need a little after party dress.
- I do, I actually, for real,
we're doing this video and everything,
but I really need an after party dress for tonight.
I knew who she was
because she had just walked for Marc Jacobs.
- Yeah, and we were on set, I was assisting a stylist
and you were one of the models.
It was one of your first shoots ever
and we met and we just hit it off
and then last year when you needed a stylist, boom.
- Yeah, boom.
- [Ben] It's been really fun working together.
- [Hunter] It's so much fun.
- Yeah, yeah, we just get to play dress up.
It's been really cool getting to kind of create this little
glamour monster that we send out into the world, you know?
[Hunter imitating cat] - Yeah. [laughing]
- Ooo, yeah, where do we start?
What do we want to look at?
I think we go to the fitting room, we take our coats.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Ben] And then we start running around.
- Okay, yeah. [upbeat music]
- [Ben] Oh, oh, oh, that's happening.
- [Hunter] Yeah, we should, we should.
- Lipstick print.
- Sweet little pleat. - So cute.
- Yeah. - What is this sweater?
I'm kind of feeling her off the shoulder thing.
- Yeah.
It's probably one of the most expensive things
I've ever bought.
One of my favorite Issey Miyake collections,
there is a coat that I got with Aya Takano's
paintings all over it.
That's just, ugh!
It's so beautiful!
- Ooo! - I love her.
- She's pretty. - I love her.
- You're giving shawl. - Yes!
- Wait, yeah, do that, I live.
- Ooo! - This girl-
- I don't know who she is. - Who is she?
- Palm Springs.
- Okay, yeah, this is by the beach.
- Yeah. - I love this.
- Oh, I just love a piece of fabric-
- Yeah, same, that you can kind of do whatever.
- Just do whatever with.
- [Ben] Oh, oh, no, fabric.
- Did the fabric fall? - Cut this outta the video.
- No, no, no, oh, no.
- We didn't do that. - We didn't do that.
[upbeat music]
- [Ben] We have fully lost the plot.
- [Hunter] Absolutely lost the narrative.
- Oh my God, this Mick Jagger.
- Covered with Mick Jagger.
- Wait, love. - That's wild.
- I love [indistinct].
- You have to go in with shopping,
I feel like you have to go in with no expectations.
Just allow whatever finds you to find you.
- Yeah.
- I think we need to try
the Vivienne Westwood sequin moment, right?
- We do.
Look at that. - She's pretty bad.
- In the light. - Ooo, sparkle.
- Wow! Crazy. - She's good.
- Yeah, really good.
- Let's see it, girl.
Ooo! - Yeah!
- She's fab. - Little sequins!
- Looks cute. - Oh, it's interactive.
- She's gorge. - Gorgeous.
- Yeah, she's fun. - It's beautiful.
- Yeah, love. - Yeah.
- [Ben] The way we're for real shopping.
- No, that's what's happening right now.
Ooo! - Ooo!
What is that? - That's gorge!
[Hunter gasping] - Prada, again.
- Ooo! - Wow!
- Wow! - Keep it.
You've done some archival vintage.
Some archival moments on the red carpet,
which are really fun.
My favorite's the gold one
for the "Hunger Games" premier here in London
based on spring 2009.
- But we've done some-
- '07. - '07.
A really major collection.
It's been fun digging in the archive
and they allow us to go play in there.
- They do. [upbeat music]
- Is it [indistinct]? - Yeah.
The print's fab. - Yeah.
- We're gonna do another run. - Yeah, we're gonna go back-
- Doing another run.
- [Ben] One, two, three.
- Oh, it is cute!
- Little stripe outfit.
- A little stripe out.
- It feel like we need more stripes.
Wait, here, put this on.
- Ooo! - I know.
- The horizontal with the vertical.
- With the vertical.
- Yeah! - It needs a solid moment.
- You could go to work in this.
You could go out.
- Yeah, this is very work to dinner.
- Yeah.
- Let's see a crazy hat with it.
Oh yeah, you need- - Well, this is for you.
- How do we feel? Is it working?
- I don't know, I don't know.
I like this! - Cute, love, she's fab.
- See, I didn't come in looking for pieces of fabric,
but this is what's happening.
You could obviously just go scarf or whatever,
which is just fabulous.
It elevates anything.
Could also go head wrap.
I think it's also floating in the wind a little bit-
- [Ben] Yeah, a little motion, always good.
- [Hunter] Yeah.
There's still like three racks.
I'm excited.
It's overwhelming sometimes.
- Yeah, I like to blue sky.
There's nothing bad.
You just get everything.
You edit later. - Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
There's no bad ideas when you're first going through.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes you have to know when the vintage
is not for you.
You have to know when it's not for you.
You just let her live her life
with the person she's meant for.
- 'Cause a piece will like pick you if it's right.
- If it's really right.
- And then that's the best feeling in the world.
- Yeah, you don't need to, you don't need to force it.
Sometimes, you know? [Hunter gasping]
- That's really really- - Oh, I like that for you.
[upbeat music]
- Last look, ready?
Got this sexy little mini dress.
Yeah, it might be a skirt.
We're not totally sure, but I think it's cute
and you can dance in it, it's sexy.
This heel is actually great and it fits.
- [Ben] I think she's the after party look.
- I recently shot my first Vogue cover.
Vogue Italia and Vogue Germany.
Two Vogue covers.
Her first time styling Vogue.
- [Ben] My first time styling Vogue.
- It was so cool. - It was really cool.
It was such a fun experience too
'cause we got to go kind of out of the city
into this beautiful house.
Ethan James Green shot it.
He's one of my best friends too so it was family.
- Yeah. - It was really fun.
- A bunch of our friends were there.
- Yeah, it was really good.
- And so it felt really safe.
I think I probably would've been way more nervous.
First Vogue cover.
If I didn't know anybody. - Same, me too.
- But it really felt playful
because we all understand each other so well too.
- Yeah.
Oh, I have the cover, I think, this is the Fendi look.
Look at that shoe.
- [Hunter] And the Marc Jacobs' shoe.
- [Ben] Marc shoe, Fendi dress.
- The fact that we were able to do it together was-
- Yeah, really special.
- What makes it so special. - Yeah.
[upbeat music]
As much as I'd love to shop all day long.
- [Hunter] I could be in here for hours.
We gotta pick out what we're buying.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, 72.
- 72 and- - And counting.
- And counting.
- [Ben] We did not listen to this rule at all.
- What rule?
- Eight item fitting room. - Oh!
- Sorry. - Sorry.
[associate laughing] - Oopsies!
I think today was a success.
- [Ben] Yeah, got a lot of good things.
- And I think I'll probably be wearing one of these
to an after party tonight.
Speaking of which,
we have to go get ready for party before the after party.
- Yes. - So-
- Boom.
Let's go. - Let's go.
- All right, bye. - Bye, Vogue.
