Hi, come in. Welcome to Fashion Neurosis, Shania Twain. Thank you. Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?
Well, I'm wearing Dolce & Gabbana and I'm feeling at home in my kind of lingerie-ish Dolce & Gabbana clothes to start. And since I'm laying on your couch, it feels comfortable. But the truth is I go a long way back, more with the leopard print and Dolce & Gabbana because when I first started making videos, I was... You know, they would bring in racks of designer clothing for me to look through and choose, and I was always attracted to the leopard print. So over time, I ended up having a whole head-to-toe leopard print outfit, literally head-to-toe, and indulged in the print. So today I'm not in the leopard print, but I am in the lingerie mode of Dolce & Gabbana.
Yeah, they're very, very good at lingerie and this kind of Sophia Loren type of sexy underpinning, which I really like and looks fantastic with the sheer, the sheer chiffon.
And I love my layers. I love layers. I love the trench coats and the option to... evolve with what you're wearing as well. Taking a coat off, doing it up over the shoulder, it's a lot of fun. I think it's well for stage performance or for videos. It's been a big thing, at least for me, to be able for the outfits to evolve throughout the story. And so it makes sense to have layers and accessories and that sort of thing. So here I am back in a French coat.
What inspired Shania Twain’s signature Dolce & Gabbana stage wardrobe and leopard-print look?
You know, a nice trench coat, very stylish and beautiful. And this is all very comfortable, like I said. This is perfect. Of course you lounge around in this on a sofa at any given day.
It's nice with a coat to be able to hide and reveal. I always like to feel I can disappear slightly. And then if I feel safe, I can take something off. And this is a very good ensemble, I must say.
Thank you. Yeah, no, I love the layers.
And you're a multi-award winning singer, songwriter, musician of iconic status. And you've sold over 100 million records. And you hold the record for being the only female artist in history. to have three consecutive albums of diamond certification. And you've said, I'm always looking for self-improvement. And how do you differentiate between self-improvement and self-criticism?
It's a good question. I see it more as not, you know, I'm always looking for self-improvement in the sense that I will never know everything there is to know. And I will never reach... my full satisfaction. I'm never a thousand percent happy with what I do. I'm always striving for better because I know there's better. But the success part of it, the award part of it, the accolade element of it is not really something that I feel I have any control over anyway, so that's not anything that I strive to gain. But Perfection of my own work, yes, I will always strive for that. And there's just so much to know. There's so many ways to do one thing. And am I finding that one thing when I decide that a work is done?
Have I really hit the mark? Is there more to explore? I think it's maybe an artist's suffering a little bit to have to decide when something is complete.
Yeah.
And that is partially because for me personally, I'm not self-doubting, but I know there's other ways. I know... this could just never end. If I let it never end, you know, I would just carry on changing and doing various versions of things. And that, I think that's an artist thing as well. We get stuck in that, you know, on that hamster wheel with the same subject and the same thinking and process. And it's hard to get off it.
Yeah, it's true. I mean, self-doubt is the enemy because suddenly I find it blurs the thing of how can this be better. It's just this terrible kind of attack of fear.
It is kind of an attack of fear. Maybe it is some sort of anxiety. Yeah. I don't know. I don't have the answer, but it is definitely a separate thing from doing better as far as gaining status or accolades, you know, counting up the accolades. It's more of a personal thing, just knowing that once you present a work, it's sort of closing the book on it.
