What made Vogue World Milano’s Galleria venue possible and how did Francesca Ragazzi act like the “Mayor of Milan”?
Okay. It's ten AM the morning of Vogue World. We're here in the galleria, right next to the Duomo. You can see the Duomo. Gorgeous. Alicia Keys is about to set up for her rehearsal. The piano is in the center of the galleria. The models are doing a walkthrough and as you can hear, things are in full swing.
Buonasera, I'm Chloe Mao. And I'm Nicole Phelps. This is the run through.
This is Alex, one of the producers on the show, and I'm here in the war room. We are exactly two hours out from start time of Vogue World. Tell us what's going on, Luke.
Well, we're walking to in into Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Due, one of the miracles of Italian fashion, in that it was built eighteen sixty-six onwards as an arcade to connect the Scala over there with the Duomo behind with a a new form of uh worship which was dedicated to shopping. So some of the stores here, I think the earliest store here that's been in constant um business is Borsalino. Now it's more modern, so I'm looking at Rolex, I'm looking at Gucci. And um we're rolling up to Vogue World which is gonna try and encapsulate the kernel um the the core of Italian fashion from this starting point.
That was Luke Leach, who is a friend of the podcast and a fashion critic at Vogue.
I'm Jeremy Pope and we are here at Vogue World in Milan. This was my third Vogue World, so third time to try them. It's it's always it's for me it's like a fan reunion. I see so many of, you know, beautiful talent, collaborators. Um, but Anna pulled me aside earlier, she said, let's have fun, let's interact with the audience. You know, this isn't a traditional runway show where it's just about the clothes, it's about the story. So I love that we get to break kind of the tradition of what's expected at these shows and allow our audience to be like a part of the show as well.
I just found Chelsea. Hi. Oh
my god, it's happening. So many people.
Okay, Chelsea and I are in like the backstage area where the models are passing by right now.
Hi. I was gonna ask you a question. Would you be okay like saying how you're feeling? Okay.
Um It's Amelia, reporting live. I'm feeling really nervous because I'm walking with Iman and Ida, and they're just such supermodels. And I'm wearing a remake of the vintage 1991 Versace Marilyn and E Warhol dress. So it's pretty crazy. I have makeup by Dame Pat. It's very OG Versace with a sparkly twist. It's kind of like a modern take on. on Versace and Pat has always done Versace I so it's really fun.
I'm back, Pat. What is it? Hello, Dad. Hello.
How did the team use last‑minute street casting and “curated chaos” to fill the show’s cast?
Are you live? No, you're fine.
So what do you want to ask?
I wanna ask how you're feeling. Tell me about what it's like to use archival glitter. I
love, I
love
using archival glitter. It's good to bring out some of the older glitters from in the 90s to 2000s, from the old the genius. Genius place to place genius too. So that's so much fun. I can't believe we got everybody ready and on time. I know how
did you get everyone ready on time? Like what's the secret? Little bit of
military lot of kindness. Yeah. Firmness. A clock in front of me all the time. All day. What's the
and and the best thing? That was Dave Pat McGrath, the one and only, giving us a low down of all the looks that she did today. We're like five minutes away from starting the show. Alright guys, I think the show's beginning.
Okay, the show just wrapped. We need to go find Chloe and Nicole and Francesca Ragassi so we can record this recap.

One day last year, police entered a mansion in LA County and discovered the couple that lived there had almost two dozen children. Nearly every one of them born through surrogates. But those surrogates had been deceived.
I started crying. I was like, what the heck did I just get myself into?
