my spirit that one looks like my cat oh
my god this looks like me when I get too
much cereal loaded and chubs hi Vogue my
name is Megan Roach today you're coming
along with me to the brand and Maxwell
show but first we gotta eat and run a
few errands let's go I'm from
Pennsylvania or and raised this is my
family it's little me I was called the
devil growing up because they always had
a stank face during my finals week in
high school I got an email saying you
have to come to New York we had like a
really prestigious brand and
photographer that wants to work with you
they didn't tell me exactly yet who it
was but once I got to New York they said
okay you're me Steven Mizell possibly
gonna shoot the new campaign for G
Munchie with Claire wait Keller it's her
first debut with we dope at every one
it's like the dream team and in my head
I like I didn't really realize how
important that was so right now it's New
York Fashion Week it's probably the most
stressful week of the whole fashion one
everyone thinks that you have a schedule
but you don't you kind of find out a
rough schedule the night before then
when you wake up it's like you have to
go here and then you go there just a
mixture of running from casting fitting
show hopefully food in this pack it's
kind of crazy my first season I was
fortunate to be so hot the new face a
new face is a fresh model usually super
young there's always really one new face
every season who does every show and I
became that girl that season it's kind
of like you can be a one-hit wonder and
you could have a great season and then
nothing comes out of it you have a great
season and then your career kind of
blasts off after that it's just kind of
up to luck people in this industry want
whatever the look is during that moment
it's that is out of my hands like it's
either they want me during this time or
not and being into person of course
nobody wants to work with a crap person
okay enough team let's get going
what do you think people ask me I make
up routine and really the only thing I
do is brush my brows I'll spend like ten
minutes just moving hairs they really
have a mind of their own em for Megan or
W for winner so final look why wear
heels when it's fashion month and you
don't have to shades protect those eyes
right now where my favorite cafe was
cafe
how's your talk - peanut butter Bowl
really good okay that reaction is good
[Music]
that is you and eating off a able don't
ever mix it I think the people that mix
they're offset evils are serious like
legit serial killers when I was younger
growing up I was always told to model oh
I got scouted when I was about 15 by
who's my hairstylist now any kind of
like pulling me aside and said you had
to model you have to model and he called
who became my mother agent at the time
at this point I had a quit soccer so I
said you know what I'm gonna meet this
lady let's see what happens and she told
me that I was very much killer and I had
to lose all the muscle in my head at
this point I still didn't think about
modeling I just thought of it as a task
if people don't think I could do
something I want to do it and do it
better than they'd ever expect I feel
like any girl considering modeling has
to be ready to to leave home and to kind
of take on a responsibility of taking
care of yourself mentally physically
financially - it's really tough for me I
I moved to New York when I was 16 and a
half and I was fortunate enough to have
a really great support system back home
and friends who believed in me and we
never felt alone
a lot of people think that I'm either
Russian or Eastern European I'm here to
clarify that I am American when the main
goals is a beauty contract of course for
most models the biggest hit really in
your career is a beauty contract usually
when a girl gets a beauty contract
that's when they become the face of that
brand and there's just there's only so
many brands to be on the face for in
there there'll be the face for a few
years so it's very minimal how many
people get a beauty contract I want to
say year ago I started journaling
because that's when I started to get a
little in my head with stress and
dealing with things and I just couldn't
let it out
it's there for whenever I need it that's
why I always bring it so I have to I
have my blue one is for just my daily
routine schedule things I want to get
done land at 12:00 p.m. arrive home
water food cleanup unpack work out
question mark shower question those
getting I definitely showered and then I
have my personal journal this baby is
like sacred to me and I end up like
drawing in it
here we're at the Museum of Natural
History
so this will be a really cool that you
come inside to see it
Kinney
Kouga I so can't are you checking in for
Megan Roach should be under I thank you
so much
I was thinking to see it already looks
like a lots gone when you're looking to
pick out the right burger you got to
look at the fluff factor of the button
because if it's squished it's not as
Airy it's not the same this fluff
factors really good but the meat it's
not hard enough
this one stunning
I always bring my own lash curler
because my lashes are really difficult
and only certain ones work they're as
annoying as my eyebrows curl these
difficult voice
funky smack tongue are we gonna throw
down take this outside stop now I see
and also in the end the inside is bad
boys
they're so stubborn some hairs stay down
all right let's still see one that's now
[Music]
she's coming back you're gonna throw
herself
I believe you better effing Carlos get
those lashes up right now here final
make
it's gorgeous okay so I found dressing
and you're allowed to come on in
so for every Fashion Show there's always
a big board of every single life so it's
like an organized way to see the line up
here the veil what my girl is opening
the show opening and closing of course
are the two most important positions in
a show opening it like it sets the mood
you the first book is first it's
exciting to get an adrenalin rush me
like what is the collection that we like
what's the inspiration and then the last
look the closing look which is usually
the most important is typically a gown
or something more extravagant this is
the closing look for Brandon and this
number 10 is me this is my look and I'm
really excited because this is the exact
look I wanted for the show this is the
most crucial hour this is where everyone
starts to get a little antsy Meghan is
wearing two super tall boots a white
coat dress yes it's like chocolate belt
beanie I try to look at the women around
me the models the women and who work in
my office you know what I mean like ask
questions and I'm not a woman so you
need to ask like what what do you like
is too much what would you want I asked
to come here my very first collection
and they said no and four years later
they have said yes the finale look is
going to be taken right off the runway
and put on display in the museum for
like how many years a lot of years
we're in year these teams work so so
hard and you want to be surrounded by
people who lift you up and make you feel
seen and in this moment when everyone's
exhausted and has been working forever
and this is the finish line they need
hype girls you know and we're lucky to
have them
oh that's so sweet you're the best it is
an honor to work with you every time
Vogue I have to go now and I have to get
my hair done for Brandon kills me
I feel you feel second-best
it's lunchtime look how many people are
out here right now so after a few
seasons there's some things that I've
learned with my runway walk so this is
the moment where we're about to go out I
take a moment to breathe close my eyes
and then I open them and I'm focused
first tip confidence the entire crowd
can feel your energy
it shows in your walk now this is the
most important part cameramen are right
there second tip breathe you look like a
mannequin if you don't breathe third tip
is the body language kind of make sure
you pop a little hip pop a little
shoulder make sure your arms are behind
your back and please make sure you move
your body
[Music]
my final look love it
pray for me these shoes are high
[Music]
all right folks that's a wrap thank you
for coming along with me on my day it
was so much fun and I enjoyed Brandon is
like he gets so nervous we show it
because he's so humble and just so
passionate so passionate and I knew how
to take collections and every time he
just out story
[Music]
