Behind Chloe Malle’s First September Issue
Today00:45:44Summary readyIt’s that time of year again—the September issue is back and this year is Chloe’s first September issue as Head of Editorial Content at American Vogue. Fifteen years ago, before she interviewed at Vogue, she watched the 2009 The September Issue documentary to prepare herself for what was to come. Now it’s her moment to be at the helm of the issue celebrating “the January of fashion.” Co-host Nicole Phelps and Vogue's Director of the Global Fashion Network, Virginia Smith joined Chloe to talk about their favorite stories from the issue and the behind the scenes mania of the elaborate photoshoots. They began by discussing the cover shoot photographed by the inimitable Steven Meisel starring Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, two of the leads from Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. This cover, featuring the young starlets in beautiful Chanel, calls back to the 1992 cover shoot of their parents Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere, shot by Herb Ritts. As far as the fashion message being conveyed in the shoot, Virginia explained, “We kept talking about this idea of designers looking back at the past to reinvent their future, and that tied in with the whole nepo-baby thing, and certainly made sense for our cover stars.” In her Editor’s Letter at the front of the book, Chloe spoke about connecting with the cover stars over their shared experience of having famous parents and her embrace of the “nepo-baby” label. Homer, in particular, is new to the limelight and Chloe called him up. "Look, as someone with famous parents, you can run away from it, but that's not gonna work,” she told him, “And you should be proud of your parents. I'm proud of my parents—they've certainly made me who I am.” Nicole then spoke about Nathan Heller’s deep dive with Demna. “[Demna] accomplished so much at Balenciaga and I think that has given him an assurance that he can take on this new challenge of Gucci. And he's really leading with fun.” The story includes a portrait of Demna, which was shot just days after the flashy Times Square resort show. Anna politely, but pointedly insisted that he not show up in all black, and he obeyed her wishes, showing up in a white t-shirt. They also noted a few other standout stories including Gaby Wood’s profile of Marta Ortega, who has been responsible for leading Zara into the future over the past few years, Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin’s maximalist train car shoot featuring the West End’s favorite actors, Mattie Kahn’s profile of conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and Adrienne Miller’s conversation with Julia Louis Dreyfus about her upcoming Broadway debut. Also on today’s episode, Chloe and Chioma caught up after Chloe’s family trip to France. They discuss Chioma’s latest Nicole Kidman cover shot by Venetia Scott and written by Giles Hattersley. “She's just got such presence,” Chioma noted, recalling a starstruck moment she had while greeting her at the Met Gala, “this kind of quiet, sphinx-like presence.” They also chat about the book club pick and Chioma's upcoming travels to Switzerland and Greece!

SummaryKaia Gerber and Homer Gere Are Vogue’s September Cover Stars!
2d ago00:57:08Summary readyKaia Gerber and Homer Gere are Vogue’s September cover stars! They had the glow of two people running on adrenaline and very little sleep when they joined The Run-Through for their first joint interview just ahead of The Shards premier day. The two stars of Ryan Murphy's new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's book were candid, funny, and clearly delighted to be doing press together for the first time. Asked for her elevator pitch, Gerber, a Ryan Murphy veteran who counts herself among Ellis's biggest fans, called the show a "seductive drama thriller" following privileged teenagers at an elite 1981 Los Angeles prep school as they collide with obsession, identity, and violence. Gere, for whom this was his first-ever podcast interview, offered a punchier synopsis: Euphoria, he said, "if it was in the '80s and was also a horror and was also Glee." Much of the conversation turned, fittingly, to what makes Ellis's work so unsettling in the first place. For Gerber, the answer lies not in the show's more graphic moments but in the eerie flatness with which her character and the rest of the cast greet even the most traumatic events. "A lot of the horror comes from the lack of reaction to the horror," she explained. Gere agreed, describing it as less shock than slow-building dread. The two also traced the emotional throughline back to their September cover shoot, photographed by Steven Meisel. It was another first for Gere, though Gerber has worked with the photographer since she was thirteen. Watching him find his footing on set, she said, felt like he'd "been doing this since you were 13." Gere and Gerber had the intimate, inside-joke energy of two people who've spent the better part of a year together on set. There was the cast's six-person group chat, unfortunately nicknamed "The Sharts"; Gere's failed attempt to sneak home a pair of the show's leather pants, which he wore, by his own count, for six months straight, and the very sweet wrap gift that Gere chose for Gerber.

SummaryCandy Pratts Price Reflects on The Early Years of Vogue
1w ago00:41:41Summary readyLegendary former Vogue editor Candy Pratts Price once famously declared “September is the January of fashion.” Candy joined Chloe Malle and Director of Global Fashion Network Virginia Smith on The Run-Through to share her thoughts on this past September, and tell us all the juicy stories from her many lives in the world of fashion. Today, we’re revisiting that conversation. After graduating from F.I.T., Candy got her start working at French shoemaker Charles Jourdan’s boutique on 55th Street in Manhattan. This was the 1970s and employees at the boutique enjoyed free weekly hair appointments. Her customers were the chicest women in New York, including none other than Jackie Kennedy. While she was busy making a name for herself on the fashion scene, Candy also made frequent appearances at Studio 54, dressing in everything from mules, bandeau tops, riding pants, rhinestones, patent leather and lots of latex. Chloe and Virginia share lots of laughs reflecting on the early days of Vogue with Candy! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

SummaryDominic Sessa On Creativity, Cooking, and Becoming a Young Bourdain in Tony
2w ago00:52:39Summary ready“Every day I believed I was living some version of what this person really experienced,” actor Dominic Sessa told guest hosts Marley Marius and Hannah Jackson of the experience of filming Tony on this week’s episode of The Run-Through. The person he is referring to is beloved chef and food writer Anthony Bourdain, whose mythology and fandom seems to only have grown since his tragic passing in 2018. Tony, which comes to theaters on August 7th and was directed by Matt Johnson, captures a very brief time in Bourdain’s life during a summer working as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Along with co-stars Antonio Banderas, Leo Woodhall, Stavros Halkias, and Emilia Jones, he spent four weeks on Cape Cod recreating a version of Bourdain’s coming-of-age lore. Johnson’s directing style often involves allowing the actors to improvise and act on the fly, which was a new challenge for the young actor. It was intimidating of course, but I was really comfortable with these people,” Sessa said. He confirmed what viewers of Tony might hope to be true—Halkias improvised all of his punchy insults including when he says “flaco means an acrobatic that jumps from ass to ass.” Despite being on a tight shooting schedule, the cast got quite close and Sessa learned a lot working with acting heavyweight Banderas. Audiences will see Sessa hold his own with Banderas, but while Sessa can act, he is not quite as skilled in the kitchen. He claimed to be able to boil water and make pasta and “I guess I learned how to shuck oysters,” he told the podcast, “and I got better at washing dishes.” Banderas on the other hand is a skilled cook. Recently, while doing press with him for a film in Málaga, Banderas cooked a memorable paella for Sessa. The New York Tony premiere took place earlier this week and Sessa sported a chic Celine by Michael Rider look. “I'm afraid to say that when I'm not doing things like this, I dress like shit for the most part,” Sessa shared, admitting that a large part of his wardrobe consists of old t-shirts from Marshalls and sneakers with holes in the sole. He credited his stylist Warren Alfie Baker with helping him discover his red carpet style. As for what’s next, he’d love to return to his roots and star in a hockey film. “I don’t need a stunt double,” he noted, “it’d save them so much money!” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Summary"What We Actually Wear To Work" AMA with Vogue Editors
2w ago00:33:11Summary readyOn the latest episode of The Run-Through, hosts Chloe Malle, Chioma Nnadi, and Nicole Phelps gathered in the studio together for an Ask Me Anything session pulled from questions on the Vogue app and from students in Vogue's Summer School program. The conversation covered internship advice and career guidance, but a throughline emerged: enthusiasm and curiosity matter more than any single credential. The hosts also opened up about how the culture of the office itself has shifted. Heels have given way to sneakers, the dress code has loosened, and the pandemic accelerated a broader move toward comfort and personal style across the industry. They also swapped stories about their own "I made it" moments, from a first magazine cover to being recognized on the street by young listeners of the podcast, and reflected on conversations with designers. The hosts traded takes on nostalgia and trend forecasting, including dream dinner parties with Coco Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent, first big bag purchases (a lime-green Kate Spade shopper among them), and the resurgence of the drop waist. Stay tuned for our next AMA to submit your own questions! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

SummaryKarol G on Her Dream Date, Hot Dog Obsession And Preparing For A New Stadium Tour
3w ago01:02:32Summary readyWhen Karol G walked into the Vogue studio last week, she was just days out from the start of Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour, her upcoming stadium tour which will take her across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe through summer 2027. On this week's episode of The Run-Through, the Grammy winner and first Latina to headline Coachella told Chloe Malle and guest host Ignacio Murillo, Vogue’s Global Talent Casting Director, that she built the show around the idea of the Latina showgirl. She’s been working since October with a full-time trainer, chef, and recovery specialist on a diet that's less about restriction than precision, with plenty of carbs, minimal processed sugar, and six to eight supplements a meal. With six wardrobe changes and a stage built to span an entire stadium, her costume team adjusts her wardrobe roughly every two weeks as her body changes on the road; her biggest source of anxiety, she said, isn't the choreography but whether the audience's energy matches what she's built. Karol G is bringing the ambitious production to countries many stadium tours skip, including Peru, Guatemala, and Panama, even though moving the show by plane across Latin America (versus truck in the U.S.) makes logistics and costs far harder, a tradeoff she considers worth it. “For me, my Latina community, they were my first supporters,” Karol said. So for me to keep bringing my show to all those places is super important.” Her fashion, developed over seven years with stylist Brett Alan Nelson, has shifted from simply chasing cool looks toward using style as a vehicle for cultural identity, with this tour's six segments including Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, and Chrome Hearts. She also opened up about family, crediting her musician father as her closest creative sounding board. Elsewhere in the conversation, Karol G confirmed she's done getting tattoos (her three honor Selena, Rihanna, and herself), said she's single and has never used a dating app, and named hot dogs and fries as her ideal first-date food. Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour kicks off July 24 in Chicago. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

SummaryWhy Hannah Einbinder Hides Her Emmy And Loves Magicians
3w ago00:43:33Summary readyAs a third generation Angelino, Hannah Einbinder reps her city hard. “I pledge allegiance to the United States of Los Angeles,” she declared proudly to Chloe on the latest episode of The Run-Through podcast, “I love LA from the tip to the tail.” Right now, Einbinder is making the rounds on one of her biggest press tours to date ahead of the premiere of Jane Schoenbrun’s third tongue twister of a film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Einbinder stars as Kris, a young queer director, who is working on a revival of a slasher horror franchise. Prior to working on the project, slashers were a bit of a blindspot for Einbinder, though she was well-versed in the great horror genre and cited Silent Hill as the scariest movie she’s seen. “I see a huge link between comedy and horror,” Einbinder observed, noting that this film is as funny as it is scary, “I think that it kind of creates the same thing in the body, like this buildup of tension with this big release. I think that's why you see so many, like, comedians go in that direction. Like, you look at Jordan Peele and that, to me, makes so much sense.” Along those lines, Einbinder pointed out that Schoenbrun actually has a comedy background and did sketch comedy at UCB many moons ago. The two of them became quite close working on the film, which like Schoenbrun’s prior film, I Saw The TV Glow, is a work of autofiction and an allegory for queerness and transition. This film required them to explore topics of dissociation relative to sex. “I feel like many of us have not taken the time to examine how universal it is.” Einbinder hasn’t yet settled on her look for the premiere, but she is already considering how she is going to accessorize. She intends to visit a New York City based nail artist who uses the moniker claws by joy to get a bloody, slasher style manicure. As a major Hacks fan, Chloe also brought up her favorite duo: Ava Daniels and Deborah Vance. While the show has reached its conclusion, she and Jean Smart are in regular contact and sharing memes. “She’s absolutely out of control,” Einbinder said of Smart’s meme sharing tendencies. Einbinder won her first Emmy for the series back in the fall and when asked where she displays it, she sheepishly revealed that she keeps it tucked away. She explained that her grandfather was a decorated war hero and when he passed, the family found all of his medals in a manila envelope in a drawer. “And so I kinda figure if, like, if that guy's not putting his stuff out,” she said trailing off, “I thought he was so swag for doing that.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

SummarySavannah Miller On The Joys and Misconceptions of Being Pregnant at 47
4w ago00:56:48Summary readyWhen Savannah Miller found out she was pregnant with her fourth child at 47, she knew this was going to be a learning moment. “I can't have a home birth these days. It's not considered to be safe. So I'm having to kind of adjust my expectations around what my birth is gonna look like and just hope that I can kind of retain some of that peaceful, beautiful, connected time with the baby however he comes out,” she told Chioma on this week’s episode of The Run-Through with Vogue. Inspired by her younger sister, actress Sienna Miller who recently had her third child at 44, Savannah is excited to see her blended family grow and for her husband James (who she married four years ago) to experience being a first time dad. “He’s stunned, to be honest. There are still moments where he's, like, disbelieving, but mostly, he talks to him all the time. And he, plays The Beatles, relentlessly. He's like, "That will be your favorite music." As for the misconceptions of being an older parent, Savannah believes there are actually more positives than people realize. As someone who had to balance being a young mom to three kids while building a fashion brand, she’s ready to embrace ease and also confide in her support system when needed. “My son's 21 so he's gonna be more like an uncle to this child. Knowing that I have those people that will really kind of hold this child up in his life was a massive kind of helper in deciding that this was a good thing to do.” Earlier in the episode, Chioma breaks down her August Cover with Daisy Edgar Jones to Chloe. The pair also chat about sports (BTW: we are sad about England!), Charli xcx’s secret concert in London, Chloe’s trip to the Hamptons, and Teen Vogue Fest!

SummaryWhat We Are Watching, Reading, and Listening To This Summer
Jul 1400:31:20Summary readyWith the 4th of July in the rearview mirror, we are nearing (or past, depending on how you measure it) the midpoint of summer and for many of us, that means a little extra time to catch up on all the books, movies, and music that is being released this year. To break down the summer culture standouts, Chloe was joined in the studio by Vogue’s Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim and Senior Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson. The trio began by discussing the major sports moment that seems to be happening even more this summer than ever before. There’s no shortage of sports to watch—the recent Knicks victory, the WNBA season, Wimbledon and the US Open, the World Cup, and the Tour de France. Taylor, who has been following the cycling, is most closely watching Tadej Pogačar (who apparently looks uncannily like his son) and Jonas Vingegaard, whose beautiful love story was covered in our I.W.W.T.H. column. They then moved onto cinema. Taylor, as the resident horror watcher, shouted out the two big horror films that have stormed the summer box offices: Backrooms and Obsession, both directed by up and comers. Honorable mentions also went out to The Invite, a film they all saw and loved from Olivia Wilde, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma from indie darling Jane Schoenbrun. The movie with perhaps the most buzz at Vogue this summer is Christopher Nolan’s upcoming remake of The Odyssey. “It’s a thinking person’s blockbuster,” Taylor joked. Though the panelists couldn’t reach consensus on Oppenheimer, they are all jazzed about this pick (though Hannah is a little skeptical of Matt Damon as Odysseus). In keeping with the theme of Odyssey Summer, Chloe’s been reading Greek myths to her children for bedtime stories and listening to the podcast Greeking Out. When not reading children’s books, Chloe is excited about this summer’s literary offerings, especially those featured in our beach reads story for the summer issue. Some of the picks they have previewed or are looking forward to include Pool House by Mary H.K. Choi, Contrapposto by Dave Eggers, Freedom Essays by Zinzi Clemmons, The Land and Its People by David Sedaris, The Palm House by Gwendolyn Riley, and Book of Hours by Ellen O'Connell Whittet. It’s also no secret that this has been yet another summer for the pop girls. Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is Hannah’s favorite Olivia album yet. And the whole team is counting down the days until we get Gracie Abrams ,Charli XCX, and Phoebe Bridgers’ new albums. And before they signed off, co-host Nicole Phelps shared a brief dispatch from the Fendi couture show in Rome! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
