- Buon giorno.
So you guys all know that I'm from LA
and this isn't a typical morning for me
because I'm currently in New York City
and waking up at a hotel always feels nice.
When I'm in LA, I'm a morning person,
but when I'm in New York, given that New York
is three hours ahead, I'm not a morning person.
So I'm here for the Chanel Metiers d'Art Collection
and this fashion show is so much different
from other shows because it doesn't happen all the time,
it only happens once a year and it's also outside
of the fashion week schedule so my day
is slightly different, I'm like literally here
just for the show.
So today's all about the show preparation,
so I get my hair and makeup done, I get dressed
in beautiful clothes from Chanel and going to the Met.
So usually the first thing I do in the morning
is obviously turn off my alarm and before,
I used to just check social media like Instagram
or Snapchat, but about six months ago I kinda felt like
I was having an anxiety attack and not well
and I wanted to really take care of my inner self
so when I know I have like a busy day
and a big day ahead where I'm meeting a lot of people,
I meditate.
There's this app that I use called Headspace,
so I've been using this app to meditate.
I even paid for it (laughs) so that's how you know
I'm serious about it.
- [App Narrator] To begin with, if you'd just like
to take a moment, get comfortable, make sure
you're sat in a place where you're gonna be undisturbed,
where the posture's upright and yet at the same time
there's a sense of softness in the body, relaxation.
(knock on door)
- When it's room service time, I love a good avocado toast.
Y'all know me, I love avocado, I was an avocado
for Halloween, I'm obsessed with avocados
and blueberries and smoked salmon, and now my stomach
is growling and I think I'm ready to eat.
Mm, what do we have here?
I'm so excited.
I mean, I ordered everything but I still
get really excited, it's like a surprise, oh yeah.
For most people, this is probably enough avocados,
but not for Aimee Song, extra avocados,
all day, everyday.
Love, ah, smoked salmon.
Some muffin and bread, and blueberries
and I like to start my morning with a warm water.
I find it very cleansing and detoxing.
So usually in LA I probably wake up
around 6:45 if I have a morning workout,
and if I don't have a workout, then I wake up
at like 8:45 because I have to be at the office by nine.
I try to like sleep in as much as I can,
'cause I always feel like I lack sleep.
So I already did my fittings with Chanel.
I went into their showroom and got dressed
for the show and the dinner.
They haven't done a show in New York
for a very, very long time, so I know
it's gonna be super special.
I'm excited to see Margot Robbie, 'cause I know
she's a brand ambassador.
I'm also super excited to see Pharrell.
I've seen him many times, and that guy
literally looks the same as he did 10 years ago.
Alright.
Time for hair and makeup.
I actually don't get my hair and makeup
done that often unless it's like a special event,
so I'm definitely getting glammed up,
but this isn't my everyday.
It'd be nice if it was my everyday,
'cause sometimes it's like therapy.
I get to talk to the hairstylist, the makeup artist,
and I learn new things.
Since I've met Nam, my makeup artist,
I learned all about highlighting and how important
highlighting is, especially for an Asian face like mine,
'cause I don't have crazy cheekbones and I used to think
that I had to like do a crazy amount of contour
but I felt like that wasn't me, and I learned
a lot about layering different highlighters
to bring out that natural glow.
I always usually decide what I'm gonna wear first
and then do my makeup around what I'm wearing.
Tonight for the show I'm wearing this beautiful,
iconic Chanel tweed jacket but it's like
cut in a different silhouette with really,
really comfortable boots because we are actually
walking to the show.
The Met is only 15-minute walk, so I decided
I wanted to be really comfortable.
So one, there's a show, and after the show
there's the after party and I have no idea
where the after party's going to be at.
They usually have like a special performance,
I don't know who's performing but they always
like to keep it a surprise like a really
fun surprise so I'm super excited.
(chill electronic music)
Thank you!
Makeup and hair is done, and now I'm gonna
get ready for the show.
So this is my daytime look.
I actually have a few hours before the show
so I decided I'm gonna go to the Guggenheim Museum,
and I'm wearing the Chanel Cruise Collection.
Thank you so much for following along today,
I hope you guys enjoyed this video
and I'll see you guys next time, bye.
