00:00 London, we're trying to film, keep it down!

00:02 - Hey Vogue, I'm Taylor Zakhar Perez,

00:05 and you're gonna get ready with me for Vogue World.

00:07 Come on.

00:08 (classical music)

00:11 Anna Wintour and Edward, they took over Drury Lane.

00:17 There's singers, there's dancers, there's models,

00:20 there's actors, it's just gonna be

00:22 an incredible performance tonight.

00:24 First up, de-puffing these eyes,

00:26 and then I gotta get a haircut, so Ben,

00:29 good to see you.

00:30 - Good to see you.

00:31 - Let's get this off.

00:32 (upbeat music)

00:35 - Ben and I met in Milan this year, 2023.

00:40 We were doing the Prada show.

00:42 My first fashion week, something I've thought about

00:44 since I was a kid.

00:45 I started modeling when I was like 14, I think,

00:47 and so you kind of, that's what you always saw

00:50 the older models doing, and you're like,

00:52 oh, that's so cool, but I chose the acting path,

00:55 and now it's kind of interesting how it's like

00:56 come back around.

00:58 - Do you wanna have a quick--

00:59 - Yeah, a little rinse.

01:00 - Rinse.

01:01 - All right, let's rinse it off.

01:02 (upbeat music)

01:04 I think my dad bought me a GQ magazine when I was a kid.

01:14 I wanted to cut my hair in a way that I don't think

01:17 he understood, and so then he bought me this magazine

01:20 and was like, here, check this out, GQ,

01:22 and then I think we cut the page out,

01:24 and we took it to the person to cut my hair,

01:26 and they did a shit job, and learned from there.

01:28 I think that's when I was like, oh, okay,

01:30 it's kind of like a handbook.

01:32 (upbeat music)

01:33 Jason Bouldin, who's a friend of mine and is my stylist,

01:36 and we create together, and he has definitely opened

01:39 my eyes to more designers, and just because they're not

01:44 selling in the giant stores doesn't mean they're not

01:47 going to be, and he's like, you should look at these

01:50 young and upcoming designers.

01:51 So this event tonight is fashion of theater,

01:54 and so when I was looking at stuff with Harry for this

01:57 and Jason, we were like, okay, what makes it feel like

02:00 it's a night out at the theater celebrating it,

02:02 but still feels fashion, but also kind of feels

02:04 a little British.

02:05 One of the outfits that I'm wearing tonight is by

02:06 a British designer, his name's Daniel Fletcher.

02:09 (upbeat music)

02:10 When I'm making fashion choices, I think what's important

02:13 is actually having that face time with the fashion house

02:17 or with the designer, especially for me,

02:19 sustainability's very important, and so you want to make

02:23 sure that, are they adopting new manufacturing processes,

02:27 and that's exciting for me, when fashion brands take tech

02:32 and incorporate it into their, from farm to fashion.

02:37 Yeah, I'm in a super fortunate position because I've been

02:40 able to visit, I went to a sheep farm in Australia

02:43 earlier this year, and I got to see, meet the farmers

02:47 who run the land and the animals, and they said,

02:50 I think 250 people touch a garment before it gets to us.

02:55 It starts at the top, and so these top brands,

02:58 they start caring about the environment and creating

03:01 more sustainability, environmentally and socially.

03:04 It changes the world.

03:05 (upbeat music)

03:08 It's my first London Fashion Week.

03:11 When Anna Wintour and Edward ask you to be a part

03:15 of something, you say yes.

03:17 I have a rehearsal in like 15 minutes,

03:19 so we gotta try some stuff on.

03:22 (upbeat music)

03:24 Right, car is here.

03:36 - Let's do it.

03:37 - We are slightly fashionably late.

03:41 Okay, honestly, I think this is the most nerve-wracking part

03:43 of the entire night, is getting to the event.

03:47 - Are you excited?

03:47 This is gonna be your West End debut.

03:49 - Yeah, it's my West End debut at the Vogue World event.

03:54 I'm definitely a little intimidated.

03:56 I grew up watching a lot of these actors

03:57 that I'm gonna be with, and so being a part of something

04:00 with them is very exciting.

04:01 You know, it gives you like the butterflies,

04:02 and I think when you stop getting the butterflies,

04:06 something's wrong.

04:07 I might be starstruck by some style icons tonight.

04:10 Ah, one night only.

04:12 I think that's us.

04:16 All right, thank you so much for getting ready with me, Vogue.

04:20 (car horn honking)

04:22 And I think I gotta get out of this car,

04:23 but I'll see you guys at the event.
