- Hi Vogue!
It's me, Adut Akech, and today I'm gonna show you guys
what I wear in a week, so stay tuned, let's get into it.
[dance music]
[light music]
So this is my travel outfit.
I am wearing these leggings by Rosetta Getty.
My tank top is Rag and Bone.
My jacket is Helmut Lang.
And then my carry-on bag is Isabel Marant.
This dope, just cool bag.
And my special traveling blanket.
Oh, and this is for your ear pods,
so that you never lose them.
It's by Tapper.
And my dope sneakers are a collaboration
by an artist called Melody Ehsani with Jordan's.
The message on it says, "If you knew what you had was rare,
"you would never waste it."
Don't waste time.
This, I would wear if I'm about to get off a plane
and go straight to set.
I used to travel with five, six bags at least.
Now, if I could fit everything in my little carry-on
and one of these, I'm good.
I pack one or two sneakers, one or two heels
and then just take clothes that I can wear
both day and night.
Leggings like this are perfect for comfort
and that fashionable look at the same time
with the slit of the front, which is really cool,
looks dope with sneakers and heels,
and then that's just that touch of fashion, and yeah.

So this look right here is my on the go, on duty look.
Just a very inexpensive outfit.
Top and pants from Zara.
Then I've got my diamonds on, still keep it a little.
My Isabel Marant glasses,
and I would pair it with my Coperni cool shaped bag.
My shoes are from a store here in LA
called Sorella Boutique.
These are my favorite jeans,
one, because it's very very hard to actually find
the perfect jean for short and tall girls, right?
So my problem is, if it fits on the top,
they're way too short.
If they're long, then they're way too big.
They're not super tight on the waist,
but they're just a perfect high waisted fit.
My first ever international fashion show
was for Saint Laurent.
I was nervous, I was excited, I was also in a lot of pain
'cause my foot was swollen from traveling 24 hours
from Australia to Paris.
But look, we put on some big men's suit shoes
and we powered through that runway.
But it looked good.
If you search up the picture,
you'll see the gold dress with those pointy suit shoes.
I remember just being on, not even cloud nine,
I was in my own little world.
I was just waiting for the day to meet Naomi,
Naomi Campbell, to see her on the runway, and I did.
She's just as incredible.
She came and congratulated me after closing Saint Laurent,
and then I moved to New York
and she just took care of me when I was there.
She's like my second mother.
I think that accessories can elevate any outfit,
take it to the next level.
I love small bags, super small.
I don't like medium sized bags for some reason.
It either has to be super big or super small.
But for this look, I'm just gonna stick to this one.
[light music]
[dance music]
So this right here is my summer look.
This is a set from Jacquemus.
The bralette, the shorts and the super dope cropped blazer.
Love this look.
And then I just paired it with my Prada boots
because I'm not wearing high heels during the day.
Then I would pair it with my Off-White glasses.
In summer, we just, obviously shorts 'cause it's hot.
A little skin, we like a little skin, right?
Don't we?
You really can't go wrong with a matching separate,
so I have quite a few sets.
Some are a lot more dressy, some are a lot easier,
some are more casual.
Day, night, I got a piece for every occasion.
Just throw on a shoe, a bag and we're good to go.
I would describe my personal style as easygoing, comfortable
but I can still be sexy sometimes.
When I need to be, when I'm feeling it,
I can be real sexy.
Something I didn't know before moving to LA
is that it gets extremely cold
when the sun sets at nighttime.
So it's nice to have a jacket on you,
and I mean, this I can wear throughout the entire day
and then I won't be cold when it gets dark
or when nighttime comes.

So this is my everyday elevated look.
I'm wearing this really dope
button-up white T-shirt by Nina Ricci.
My super bright orange pants are Off-White.
And then my Air Force Ones, classic.
Paired it with this Prada bag, my Off-White glasses
and then my earrings are by Anita Ko.
I love me some bright colors.
I love these pants so much.
I love the cut, I love the design,
I love the way they sit, the way they look.
I think I've definitely become more of a risk taker
when it comes to my style.
I went through different stages.
So at one point, when I was girly,
my older sister was more tomboy-ish,
and I became more tomboy or just less girly,
and then they became girly.
We kinda just swapped.
I love you guys!
Don't hate me,
but I think I am the most fashionable one in the family.
So this, this right here, is my everyday baby.
Another piece that kinda goes
with everything and anything really.
[light music]
So this is my day to night outfit.
My dress is Off-White, so are the sneakers.
My bag is Bottega.
So I like to wear this dress during the daytime
because of the cool detail,
which just makes it casual, right?
What I really love about this bag
is that it's super spacious inside,
and I've actually got my nighttime stuff in here.
My bag and my shoes and my accessories.
During Fashion Week,
having to go to an after party after a show,
throw on some heels with whatever you're wearing
and you're good to go.
And then my bag is Valentino,
and my shoes are Filling Pieces.
I was actually gifted this bag by Pier Paolo with Valentino.
We actually collaborated together
on my British Fashion Award dress
that I wore when I won two years ago, just saying.
So that just goes to show you
how close and special our relationship is,
that I'm able to do something like that with a designer.
[light music]
[dance music]
Speaking of after parties, this is my after party look.
I mean, you can never go wrong
with a little black dress, can you?
I actually got this altered to my liking.
I cut this, got this cut made,
made it super tight so that it fet perfect.
Fet perfect?
Fitted perfectly.
I'm making up my own words now.
So this dress is by a label, a south Australian label,
Finders Keepers.
And my shoes, which are one of my favorite heels,
Rene Caovilla.
And my super adorable bright pink bag is by Jimmy Choo.
So I definitely cannot do heels all night long.
They come off when we get to dinner.
They're off at the dinner table where nobody can see.
When we're at the party, they are off.
But a boot, I can do all night long.
So I've got these super cute low black Jimmy Choo.
They're giving cowgirl vibes,
and they kinda just bring the dress down just a little bit,
but still keeping it very sexy.
Honestly, when you're on the runway wearing high heels,
you just feel like you're gonna fall, for whatever reason.
I've had so many favorite runway moments,
it's kinda hard to choose.
But one of the most special ones was Chanel Couture Bride.
So closing the show as a Chanel Couture Bride
is the greatest honor.
I was extremely honored when Karl chose me
to be his Chanel Couture Bride three years ago,
which was very special.
I was the second black girl to ever do it,
so that was a history making moment at the same time,
as well as it being an honor and extremely special.
So I'll always hold that special memory and moment to him.
I miss him now, speaking of him.
We are gonna add a black blazer, which is another essential.

[dance music]
So this is my Sunday outfit.
My dress is by Area.
My shoes are good old classic Air Force Ones.
I've still got my Anita Ko jewelry on,
and I would pair this with my Coperni bag.
I think ever since moving to LA,
I think I've become more of a dress person.
I mean, the weather's nicer for dresses.
Look, we've been stuck in the house for a year plus,
it is time to bring on the bling and the colors,
the short dresses or the long dresses.
Let's just go out and live life.
By the end of the year, I wanna say,
"You can't say we didn't live life".
This summer, we are outside, baby.
The streets are calling our names.
We've been in the house for a year plus,
so the streets, the bag and fun is calling.

Thank you guys so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed and I will see you guys next time.
