- I was at my Moschino fitting and Jeremy was like,
"Listen, I have this dress for you,"
and it was basically this fabric holder attached to my dress
and I had to throw the fabric holder on the runway.
I threw it and everyone in the front row was like [gasps].
And I was like, wait, [beep] what did I do?
Did I throw the fabric holder into Anna Wintour's face
and I was so scared.
I had no idea what I was doing.
[upbeat music]
Hi Vogue, my name's Yasmin
and today I'm taking you guys to the Moschino show.
Let's go.
This is Jackie.
She's an angel.
I love her.
My mom got her for my birthday.
Hi, Jackie.
I've been living in New York for almost five years now.
I'm originally from Amsterdam.
I was born and raised there.
I moved to New York when I was 16.
My dad is South American.
It's a really small country in South America
and it's called Suriname.
And my mom is fully Dutch.
[upbeat music]
I have no idea what I'm wearing yet.
[upbeat music]
Let me see what I have that's Moschino.
Maybe I should wear some Moschino.
Oh I might wear this.
That's an option.
Oh also, you guys, this is my ponytail.
It's a very long ponytail that I've worn to events before.
I only wear extensions for shows
or I wear extensions for events and stuff,
but when I'm at home, when I'm hanging out with my friends,
I don't wanna wear extensions.
'Cause I always get so much hair put in my hair
and they glue it in and my hair gets ripped out of my skull
and tape and it gets stuck into my hair.
It's not fun.
I've lost a lot of hair.
I used to have hair down to my waist.
Five years later, this is where we're at now.
I might wear this leather jacket.
Social media stresses me out.
People always think that models are very confident
and they're not and social media
has a really big influence on that.
We get judged based on the way we look every day
and you wanna live up to that.
Whenever I'm back home or whatever,
people are like, "Oh she's a model,
"but she doesn't look like that in real life."
Don't get me wrong though, I love to be sexy, obviously,
but not all the time.
I like to wear oversized clothes.
I like to not wear makeup and not wear extensions
and I don't always look like that at all, trust me.
[upbeat music]
Ta-da, this is my outfit.
I always put some oil in my hair
'cause my hair gets very dry and very fried
'cause of all the heat.
This just helps it.
[upbeat music]
Jackie.
[upbeat music]
What, what?
[upbeat music]
Let' s go get some pizza and then let's go to the show.
I love my job, which is funny though 'cause I remember
I never wanted to be a model.
I always wanted to be an actress
and I remember I got scouted a few times.
And I was always like, "No, that's not for me.
"I couldn't be a model."
And then I got scouted for the Elite Model Look
and my mom was like, "Just do it."
It was an amazing experience.
I got a worldwide contract and then I started modeling
full time right after I graduated high school
at 16 years old.
Okay, my first casting experience.
I was in Amsterdam and I had to fly to Milan
to go do a casting for the Prada show.
Prada flew me and a couple of other girls in
to be their exclusive girls.
I was very intimidated.
I had no idea what I was doing.
I did end up getting the job
and it was the most amazing experience of my life.
To get thrown in this industry as a young 16 year old girl,
who doesn't have any experience,
who doesn't know anyone in the industry.
[upbeat music]
Can I get a slice of plain cheese with a side of ranch
and a Coca-Cola.
[upbeat music]
So let's clear some things up.
My last name is not Wijnaldum or anything crazy like that.
It's very easy.
It's Yasmin Wijnaldum.
I love my ranch.
Have I ever showed up late to a show?
Is that a serious question?
Of course I have.
During Fashion Week, when you have three shows a day,
it's almost impossible to not show up late.
You have fittings, you have shows.
You're almost always late.
I remember this one time my first season,
I got to the show 10 minutes before the show started
and there were legit 10 people surrounding me,
doing my hair and makeup.
And that was my first season and I was like
what the fuck is this?
Where am I?
Someone take me home.
I'm scared Mom, pick me up.
[upbeat music]
Let's head to the show.
My call time is in 20 minutes
and I'm really excited.
Bye.
Actually, it's not bye.
Come along.
I honestly have walked Moschino so many times,
more than any other show I feel like.
I always feel so loved there and happy
and I feel like I can be myself there.
Everyone's so sweet.
Jeremy's an angel.
He's been so loyal to me throughout my entire career.
All right, we're here.
[upbeat music]
It's down here?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay, thank you.
It's actually inside the subway.
That's crazy.
I thought I was on time.
I thought I was early, but I just found out
that I'm almost an hour and a half late.
Usually when I'm this late, they're like,
"Rush, rush, rush, go, let's do rehearsal.
"Get into hair and makeup."
Hi.
This is Mayowa.
- Oh.
- We're doing a video.
- Oh you're doing a video? [laughs]
Hi.
[upbeat music]
- How are you doing?
This is Alton.
We're doing a video for Vogue.
Wanna say hi?
- Hi, how are you guys?
[upbeat music]
- Right now I'm gonna show you guys the runway.
First, we start in this train.
So usually when I walk, I try and not to look at the people.
Then we walk in here.
Try and be fierce.
What's also very important, by the way,
you have to do a different walk for each show.
Some shows like very sexy walks.
Some shows like very simple and elegant walks.
Some shows like very boyish walks.
So very important to know all of those walks and--
- But sometimes you never know
who you might just see on the train.
- Jeremy!
[lips kissing]
- How are you baby girl?
- We're doing a video for Vogue.
Do you wanna say hi?
- Hi Vogue.
She has a walk out of this world
with the legends of Naomi and Linda and--
- Okay, okay, let's--
- Yasmeen Ghauri, no 'cause she--
- Oh no.
Remember when you made me throw that--
- Bolt of fabric?
- Yeah, remember that?
- Yes and you did it perfectly.
- I was so scared.
I was so scared.
- 'Cause you're a pro.
- I love you.
- I love you more.
- I'd do anything for you.
- And you'll see throughout the show,
a little bit of a love letter to New York City,
which is an ultimate melting pot,
and so you have all types.
You have some Upper East Side chic ladies
and you have some downtown cool kids.
So you have the whole mix
and that's what's really vibrant about New York.
Just like the mix of high and low,
the train goes uptown and downtown
and I love that mix of those two elements.
Patterned scarf prints and things that seem very like
shi shi high society mixed with
a lotta streetwear-inspired things.
And you'll see a lotta things that are maxi and micro too.
- And this is what I was talking about earlier.
The most creative, inspiring, and kind person
that I've met in the fashion industry.
- Aw, you're a sweetheart.
- I love you for it.
- I love you too. [laughs]
- Did someone tell you to come here?
- No, I was doing my walk through of the space
to make sure I understood it and then I was like okay.
- Okay, let me say hi.
- I'm gonna go surprise her.
- All right.
- Sweetheart, see you in a little bit, muah.
[upbeat music]
- This is so good to see you.
- Me too.
- The runway's crazy.
I'm gonna do my hair and makeup.
- [Carlyne] Okay darling.
- The board.
There's a lot of models, as you can see.
Where am I?
Oh, right here.
Look, this one.
That's awesome.
[upbeat music]
- Hi pumpkin, how are you? [laughs]
Who are these people?
- Guess.
- Oh hey.
Every time I show out, yes.
- Do you know in how many Vogue Diary videos I've seen you?
- That's hilarious.
- It's actually insane.
Jonboy.
He did this one.
This tiny little heart.
[upbeat music]
[hair dryer blowing]
I've got five people doing my hair right now.
- All models, please.
I need all models.
[upbeat music]
- Super excited.
[upbeat electronic music]
- Oh my God, hi Vogue.
- Are you doing [mumbles]?
[upbeat electronic music]
I have to put on my chains.
I have to put on my little baby fox.
It's fake, obviously.
[upbeat electronic music]
Ooh, cold.
Yasmin.
[chains clinking]
Look at that crazy lighter.
- I wish I could spin it so bad.
- I'm instantly five pounds heavier
just 'cause of these.
Ready?
- Yep.
- Awesome.
[upbeat electronic music]
There's my baby.
[upbeat electronic music]
- She said his name is Bob.
- His name is Bob and he just kissed
a Victoria's Secret Angel.
[people talking in background]
- Almost, come in please.
[hip hop music]
- All right, we're gonna go on now.
Wish me good luck.
[hip hop music]
All right guys, that was it.
I hope you guys enjoyed following me around today.
Thank you for having me.
And I'm out.
