The premiere episode of Good Morning Vogue season 2 includes a profile of model of the moment Precious Lee, a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the makings of Marni’s fall 2021 collection, and a day in the life of Ella Emhoff.
“I Didn’t Imagine Being a Model Because I Didn’t See Anybody Like Me”—Precious Lee in the Spotlight on Today’s Good Morning Vogue
“Walking and representing so many people is extra special in this climate. Now more than ever I feel how important it is to let people know, specifically African-American women, how capable we are.” That’s model-of-the-moment Precious Lee talking. Lee overcame her naysayers and her own self doubt—“I didn’t imagine being a model because I didn’t see anybody like me,” she says— to nail her dream job last season, walking the Versace catwalk. And this year is shaping up to be just as big for her, with starring roles in Area’s spring 2021 haute couture debut and Jeremy Scott’s riff on the famous fashion show scene from The Women for Moschino’s fall 2021 video.
The premiere episode of Good Morning Vogue season 2 includes not just a profile of Lee, but also a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the makings of Marni’s fall 2021 collection video, and a day in the life of the Parsons design student, model, and Batsheva collaborator Ella Emhoff.
Listen in as Marni’s Francesco Risso, speaking from a kitchen transformed into a vegetable garden for his seasonal video, discusses his new process of doing more with less. “Playing only with what you have let’s you disrupt what you did before,” he says. “This feels quite healing, I must say.” And get to know Emhoff, whose life has changed since her step-mother Kamala Harris was inaugurated as Vice President in January, not least of all because she is working with Batsheva Hay, a designer she and her roommates have long admired. “I’ve followed her for a really long time; so many of her designs are cohesive to my personal wants and needs,” Emhoff relates.
