Show Notes
Chloe and Chioma were back in the New York studio together for a special taping in which they discussed their respective November covers and a few select stories. They started off with the Jenna Ortega cover, shot by the “it” photographer Szilveszter Makó. As Chloe put it, Mako has been photographing “every cover under the sun, but we felt he was really the right person for Jenna, who is so doll-like in her demeanor, and he really made sense for this painterly approach.”
They also pored over British Vogue’s cover story with popstar Lola Young, who has risen to stardom and been quite candid with her fans and the magazine about her struggles in the spotlight. “She’s a raw nerve in the best way,” Chioma said of Young.
Inside Chloe’s issue, some of her favorite stories included Dodie Kazanjian’s profile on 99-year-old Alex Katz in his Maine home—he allegedly does 300 pushups a day—as well as her Up Front story about donning fancy pajamas in the wake of her husband’s passing. This issue transformed into a bit of a Maine affair with a birdwatching photoshoot in Bar Harbor. Another standout moment from the issue was a feature on Francesco Risso’s post-Marni project, the Bureau of Imagination in Milan.
For Chioma’s issue, they were both excited to talk about Christopher Kane’s Mulberry debut with his big sister and longtime collaborator Tammy Kane. Vogue’s longstanding relationship with Kane was crucial to the success of the story. “It was a real coup because he secretly showed us the collection before the show,” Chioma explained, “which very few designers will let you do, understandably, because it's a debut and there's a lot of attention and pressure.” With Diwali just around the corner, they also spoke about Neelam Gill honoring her late mother through the festival of Diwali.

Dame Helen Mirren, an actress with a storied career, has at long last entered her villain era. “I think it has to do with getting older,” she told Chloe and Taylor Antrim on today’s episode, “when you’re older, if you’re a woman, you have to be an awful, ghastly person.” Her latest “villain” opportunity comes in the form of playing writer Patricia Highsmith in A Talent For Murder, the latest film from director Anton Corbijn.
