I didn't come to Paris Fashion Week and think:
"I'm not going to wear any makeup."
I just thought...
I don't know, something just kind of came over me
and I was dressing in these beautiful clothes
and I thought, I don't want to compete with the clothes.
I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room.
I feel like it's just freedom. It's like a relief.
I don't need a stylist.
Like, I don't have a stylist, I don't have a glam team.
I'm just kind of doing this freestyle.
Hi, Vogue. Come on in.
I'm going to get ready for the Andreas Kronthaler Show
for Vivienne Westwood.
It's very peaceful in here.
I don't have handlers or a glam team.
It's almost noon and the show's at one,
and I just got out of the bath.
I let my hair dry naturally, and I just
put on some moisturiser because I'm not into the
makeup look right now.
My mom always told me: "At some point in your life,
you're not going to want to wear makeup on your skin."
And she's right.
You kind of have to challenge beauty sometimes.
You know, if we all chase youth or we're chasing
our idea of what beauty is in fashion magazines
and everything, we're only going to be disappointed
or maybe a little bit sad.
So I feel like, this is it.
You know, sometimes, like I feel:
"Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing the right thing?"
I don't know, then I think: "What am I worried about?"
"Am I worrying about what people think, how I look?"
And I thought: "You know, this is...
this is the time for me to kind of be, again,
probably a little rebellious."
But I also feel as a woman, and as a woman of my age
and a woman in the public eye, I just kind of think:
"It's also your job to be model of everything,
just all sorts of choices." So I am just being me.
You know, kind of my, "who I am",
in all these great clothes running around Paris.
So I'm very lucky.
I think I'm happiest I've ever been in my own skin.
It's what's inside the clothes that counts.
And I think beauty does come from within.
And I know it sounds cliché, but I love clichés.
I'm so corny.
I didn't come to Paris Fashion Week and think:
"I'm not going to wear any makeup."
I just thought... I don't know something
just kind of came over me and I was dressing
in these beautiful clothes and I thought :
"I don't want to compete with the clothes."
I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room.
I feel like it's just freedom.
It's like a relief.
I want to walk around Paris. I want to be in the gardens.
I want to kind of experience Paris with fresh eyes.
It's an experiment. I thought:
"I'm not going to wear any makeup
at the Fashion Week in Paris." Which is insane.
This is my rose oil that I've made,
and I just put it, kind of all over my face.
It was so nice, Victoria Beckham
gave me a lot of makeup, but I haven't used any of it.
It's clean makeup, though. It's cruelty free.
I'm going to get dressed up for Andreas today.
I'm going to put a little mascara on.
I know this is going to be the easiest Getting Ready With.
Because that's it.
Okay, the funny thing is:
I came with a lot of my archives.
I came with some old, you know, Chanel
and, you know, some Valentino and just things from
my own closet, Dior and a lot of The Row.
I love The Row.
I brought a bunch of crazy shoes, just from old...
And these are like a pair of Vivienne Westwood boots
that I had from probably 15 years ago, 20 years ago.
So these are vintage, from my own closet
because I'm vintage now.
Some old, some vintage Yves Saint Laurent,
back in the day.
I love this, that it matches the shoes.
You know, the old Azzedine Alaïa.
How gorgeous is this?
This is an old vintage YSL, too, with the no back.
Isn't that great?
Beautiful.
This is a vintage piece
from Yves Saint Laurent from the '70s.
These are old Christian Dior pants.
This is kind of a cute little collection of old Vivienne.
I love this. Look.
Cute. Shorts.
Philip Treacy. Isn't that a cute purse?
Remember the old magazine purses?
That's kind of like a take on the Campbell Soup.
I'm thinking this one is going to be very warm,
but it's going to be very cool.
This with a boot.
I love this hat.
I love this silhouette because it's our true Vivienne style.
But it's Andreas, you know?
So we have the skirt and then the big shoulders
and this, you know, the kind of Vivienne suit.
And I'll wear these shoes with some tights.
But they're beautiful.
You know, Vivienne was a dear friend of mine,
and I'm, you know, very sad
that she's no longer with us and she's passed.
But I want to support Andreas, who is like family to me, too.
They've both been to my house in Malibu,
and we spent a lot of time together.
And, you know, she was a great climate
revolutionary.
And so I want to support Andreas.
This is the first show I've been to for Andreas
since Vivienne passed away, so, there to support him.
So I'm excited about tonight. Really excited.
Saving the best for last.
Y'know what, these are not comfortable.
I don't need a stylist. Like, I don't have a stylist.
I don't have a glam team.
I'm just kind of doing this freestyle.
Never put a hat on a bed. It's bad luck.
I think it's better, like, with this off.
- Yeah. - And the little diamond.
Right?
I am cruelty free.
I love the time to myself.
I'd rather be walking in the park in Paris
and come home and have a nap and wake up, you know,
15 minutes before I have to go somewhere
and just... it's much easier, and I can enjoy Paris more.
Because a lot of people that are here at Fashion Week
are in a makeup chair for 2 or 3 hours
and have all these people around.
And it's, I feel blessed, I get to experience Paris
in a more simple way
without a lot of people and everything around,
which is... I've done that.
It was fun, but I prefer just roaming around on my own.
How's your Netflix documentary changed your life?
Well, my son... I know.
My son produced the film and he...
I think, him and his brother were just sick of people
not really knowing who their mom was, you know.
And so that was kind of the driving force.
And I said: "The only thing if we're
going to do this documentary I want nothing to do with it.
I don't want to see anything. I don't want to see it.
I don't want to have any control over this.
I don't think I've saved anything.
So I don't know how you'll make this documentary."
And it turns out I've saved everything.
I'm a packrat.
Every school report card from my kids,
you know, home movies from when they were little.
So anyway, they found everything.
I watched a little bit of it,
and I just, couldn't watch it.
I broke down, you know, because some,
I think some things are better left in the past.
To rehash them was a bit sad for me.
And plus, I kind of grew up
a little bit at the Playboy Mansion.
So I mean, I was surrounded by,
you know, sexy lifestyle.
So sometimes I would feel like I'd brought it upon myself
when people talked badly to me,
Even though that's an horrible thing to say
and obviously it's not true
because you should always be respected.
But at the time I just learned how to kind of navigate it,
not take it too personally and laugh it off
But yeah, it was a different time.
I'm glad things are a little more safe,
but you know, it's things...
I wouldn't even say that because we all,
as women, have to protect ourselves
and trust our instincts and treat ourselves
with respect, then others will.
People do come up to me on the street now and say:
"I love you. I didn't like you before,
but I love you now."
I was like: "Okay, thank you."
Because of the documentary.
It's fun to celebrate fashion and...
beautiful lives and things because we all need escapism.
We all want to dream.
You know, when you watch people at these shows
and you can just put yourself in their shoes,
I like the relatability and the dream of it.
I mean, I didn't come from anything fancy,
and sometimes I'm always like pinching myself, like:
"Am I really here?"
And I think if you don't lose that kind of vision
then you can enjoy it all, from a very innocent
point of view instead of a self righteous
or self entitlement, it's more about:
"I'm so lucky to be here."
But the most important thing is to remain joyful
and to remain and to have fun and to, you know,
remain grateful and at peace with yourself.
What do you do to remain joyful
when you feel a little down?
I write, all the time.
I'm always writing, and I look at how grateful I am
for my children, my boys, my animals.
They always make me happy.
My dogs, they make me smile every day.
When I used to come here as museum,
I used to go to lots of galleries.
And, you know, I have a lot of friends who are artists.
Everything is art here.
I mean, the buildings, I mean, it's so gorgeous,
all the sculptures, the Rodin Museum.
The fun part is, you know, you put on your sneakers
and you put your jeans on and your sweatshirt,
your sweater, and you just walk, like it's not...
People are concerned about their own lives.
They're not... I think this whole celebrity culture
is so much thought about,
"Oh, everybody's looking at me."
When they're not. They don't care.
They're looking at themselves.
Okay, I think I'm ready. Let's go.
Thank you, Vogue. Bye.
