00:00 It was one of my most happiest and memorable moments of my life.
00:04 Bonjour, comment ça va?
00:06 Très bien.
00:07 Bonjour.
00:27 Hi, this is Drake, it's Felix.
00:29 You want to come in?
00:30 Let's go.
00:31 Come this way.
00:32 So I'm here in Barcelona for the Louis Vuitton Cruise Show 2025.
00:41 My first time here in Barcelona.
00:43 I'm just starting to love this country.
00:46 The weather is yet very chilly,
00:48 and at the same time you can feel the sunlight that's very bright.
00:53 And I can just feel that vitamin D just entering my body.
00:55 Come with me.
00:56 We're getting ready to complete our fitting.
01:00 And yeah, let's get going.
01:02 So this is a very big door I've never seen.
01:05 When I look at the bigger picture,
01:08 it's just fascinating to see a lot of people,
01:12 Westerners that are interested in the Korean tradition,
01:16 the way we feel, the way we dress,
01:20 especially the way we dress.
01:21 I feel that a lot of people take inspiration from,
01:24 I feel like that's what people find very special in Korean culture.
01:28 Definitely music is also an impactful part,
01:32 such as Korean pop.
01:34 Even with our music, through Stray Kids' music as well,
01:37 we've given a lot of impact to a lot of our fans,
01:40 our stays all around the world.
01:42 I feel that fans also do lead up to.
01:44 So not only is there music,
01:46 but there's food, and then there's clothing,
01:49 and then there's like drama.
01:51 So in that sort of sense,
01:52 we kind of teach them that,
01:54 and we let them learn and kind of let them have the fun of
01:58 learning what our culture really is like.
02:00 I've been told you speak French.
02:11 No.
02:12 I don't speak French.
02:13 Oh, I mean, I did learn French,
02:16 but as I became a trainee,
02:18 I then stopped learning.
02:21 I only know a few.
02:22 I'm not the best.
02:25 I only know the basics.
02:26 For example,
02:27 "Bonjour, comment ça va?"
02:29 "Très bien."
02:30 That's one of the languages I love,
02:32 or words I love using.
02:34 "Désolé, je suis en contrat."
02:35 Which is "I'm sorry I'm late."
02:37 Because one time, late to my French class,
02:40 and yeah, that's what my French teacher would say.
02:43 There was one word that I learned.
02:45 "Ouais."
02:46 You know, when you say yes,
02:47 but like, kind of to friends, "Ouais."
02:50 Yeah, instead of "oui," it's "oui."
02:52 "Ouais."
02:52 Yeah.
02:53 I have a friend that says like,
02:56 "Ouais."
02:56 I'm like, "What are you saying, 'Ouais'?"
02:58 Like, "Why?"
02:59 And like, "Why are you saying it like that?"
03:00 And apparently that's what it was.
03:01 It's a slang for yes.
03:02 Yes.
03:03 The fact that I got to attend
03:14 and do my first runway
03:15 for Nicolas' 10th anniversary runway,
03:19 honestly, it just blew my mind.
03:21 It was always one of my dreams to do on the runway,
03:25 and yet Nicolas just inviting me and saying,
03:27 "Oh, I really want you to do this runway,
03:30 wearing this piece."
03:32 And so just in that moment,
03:34 I was very shocked.
03:36 I was surprised, and it was one of my most happiest
03:40 and memorable moments in my life.
03:42 So yeah, it's unbelievable.
03:43 Even wearing these pieces,
03:44 honestly, it's one of a gift.
03:47 Today, I'm wearing the long coat
03:49 with the silver lining,
03:51 and also with the white long pants and white shirt,
03:54 and with his bag, signature bag right here.
03:57 And also I'm wearing the white gold
03:59 with the diamond arm jewelry.
04:01 So it goes with along my hair color stunningly.
04:05 Yeah, it just fits so well.
04:07 And this was the first fitting that we did,
04:10 and it was straight on.
04:11 We have to go with this look straight away.
04:13 So yeah, it was great.
04:15 Thank you, Vogue, for getting ready with me.
04:17 I heard the show was at the park,
04:19 so I'll see you there.
04:20 Thank you.
