    Summer Cover Star Gracie Abrams Talks New Music and Her Acting Debut

    After four years of non-stop touring, Gracie Abrams didn’t expect that new music would come to her so quickly, but she is coming back with the new album Daughter From Hell, out July 17, and is Vogue’s June cover star.  “You don't realize how your nervous system is kind of like running until you stop,” says Abrams as she discusses her latest album and cover shoot with Senior Features Editor Marley Marius and Global Director of Social Media Samantha Sussman on Vogue’s The Run Through Podcast. “So, I had no plans in this case to jump in as quickly as we ended up doing it. But my collaborator, producer, and dear friend Aaron Dessner, who I've worked with for six years now… he has superpowers,’ says Abrams. “And whenever we're in the same room, even if I do feel like silent to my core, whenever he starts playing something, it sparks my imagination.”  While working on the album at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Abrams says the first single ‘Hit the Wall’ came to her through intervention from a spirit. “I was a little bit late to the studio, which I'm very prompt and I was kind of having, just like an emotionally confused morning” says Abrams.  “Do you know when you sometimes wake up and you feel as if you're being haunted by a spirit? Or like a relative who's no longer [alive] … Do you ever feel the energy as if someone's got their hands on your shoulders? Do you ever feel like you're wearing a little cape on your shoulders?” asks Abrams. “I kind of just felt like weighed down when I was walking to the studio and I started tearing up. And it was at this period where I wasn't crying very much. And I was like, ‘Something's blocking me, like what is going on?’”  Abrams says once she heard a loop of what would later become Hit the Wall, all the pieces started coming together. “I very quickly felt like the sound exactly matched that hands-on-shoulders-cape feeling … And it was a nice place to put all of these, not like self-deprecating thoughts, but just all of the dark cloud energy into one place. And then when I was done with it, it made me feel like a teenager again, where I would write something and then … yield.”  Also on today’s episode, Chloe sits down with Marley and Samantha to discuss the news from over the weekend including the Tony wins and Dua Lipa’s Italian wedding. They also talk about the American Style shoot that is part of the summer issue and listen to voice memos from two enthusiastic finalists.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

    Team USA’s Chris Richards on Preparing For His First World Cup

    The World Cup is just a week away and to mark the occasion, The Run-Through invited US Men's Soccer Team player Chris Richards on the podcast. Vogue fútbol fiends Taylor Antrim and Alyssa Hardy sit down with the young defender to talk about the journey to his first World Cup.  Richards grew up in Hoover, Alabama, a town where American football reigns supreme. “Everybody knew everybody,” he explains, “and a lot of the kids that played soccer were also the kicker for the football team.” Soccer was hardly deemed a viable option. “I had teachers laugh at me when I told them I wanna do this for a living,” Richards tells the podcast, “But I just kept my head down and decided I wanted to prove them wrong. And I think I've done pretty well at that.” Fresh off an ankle injury, Richards is busy doing strength exercises and massaging the swelling down. He’ll be sitting out the final friendlies match against Germany this weekend but is planning to play once the World Cup officially begins next week. “It feels like everybody's still kind of holding their breath.” They also chat about finding community through his time playing for Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace. “London is a beautiful place to find yourself. [South London] reminded me a lot of home—it’s very hardworking and there are tons of cultures that I’ve been really excited to dive into.” The development of his personal style he also credits to his time abroad, being inspired by the influences of his teammates.  Also on the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up after some time apart. For the first time, Chloe served on the committee for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and had a part in determining the ten finalists. Chioma tells Chloe all about her time at the three-day British Vogue Wellness Retreat at Estelle Manor in the English countryside. Chioma, a wellness enthusiast, was in her happy place and where she got to participate in conversations around women’s health and also activities like axe throwing and archery.   Other important news out of England this week was the wedding of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner at Marylebone Town Hall—at the same location where Chioma’s parents wed many years ago! And if things couldn’t get more exciting, Chioma met one of her all time favorite ladies at SXSW London: the Michelle Obama!

    Vogue Editors Answer Your Summer Dressing Questions with Liana Satenstein

    Dressing for the summer is no easy feat, no matter where in the world you’re located. On this special episode, Nicole and Chioma are joined by contributing writer and former Vogue staffer Liana Satenstein. Liana, who heads up the Addressed column where she tackles all kinds of fashion dilemmas, came on to talk through all of the most pressing summer dressing issues.  “I like to write about the more saucy sides of what to wear and what not to wear,” Liana told the hosts, referencing one of her first installments in which she answered the question of whether or not a bra is mandatory for the workplace. The short answer: it depends. But the group was in agreement that the overly padded push-up bra or the “chicken cutlet” bra as Vogue Runway’s Sarah Mower termed it, is generally not the move.  They then moved on to the very toe-pical conversation of the summer shoe. Recorded on the heels of Mathieu Blazy’s Chanel resort show in which he debuted the controversial anti-shoe, feet were a hot topic. “Phalangeal fodder for the ages!” was Liana’s assessment, “I have to choose my words carefully, but those are deliciously demented demi-sandals.” The verdict was that this shoe was not intended for the filthy city streets, but might find a home on a red carpet or beach sometime soon. Instead, for those looking to show some toe this summer, Birkenstocks and kitten heels might be a more pragmatic choice.  Then came the evergreen dilemmas of what to do with unwanted hand-me-down from a loved one (“an albatross around my neck”) and how to clean and maintain a closet with limited space. Liana’s advice is to give yourself a time limit. “60 seconds, find one thing that you do not wear—I'm sure you can do it. Do that once a day for seven days, and at the end of the week you have seven pieces that you can part with.” Other summer sartorial plights they addressed included how to put together an office appropriate outfit in the sweltering summer, what is on their summer shopping wishlists, and what the modern rules are for what to wear to someone else’s wedding. For more nuance than “don’t wear white”, tune in.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

    Nicolas Ghesquière On Why He Brought Louis Vuitton’s Cruise Show Back to NYC

    The first time Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière visited New York, he stayed downtown at a friend’s loft on Lafayette Street, in the then-transforming neighborhood of SoHo. “It was really a shock for me to see that you could live in those cool buildings and apartments,” he tells Nicole Phelps on this week’s episode of The Run-Through. “It was literally the opposite of Paris, somehow.” Later on that same trip, he recalls, he explored uptown, taking in the beauty of Central Park, which instantly reminded him of iconic films. “I don’t think that thing ever disappears, honestly,” he said, “when you first visit New York, and you discover the richness of the city.” Ghesquière is back in New York, having presented his resort 2027 collection for Louis Vuitton in the garden of the Gilded Age mansion-turned-museum, The Frick Collection, where the house has just taken on a three-year role as principal cultural sponsor. Fittingly, the collection explores the designer’s first memories of the city. “I was very interested to explore, again, the downtown, uptown duality, confrontation, harmony,” he said. “Where is the line, you know, culturally between those people?” People like the late Keith Haring—the brand has been teasing inspiration from the famed graffiti artist on its social media channels. Here, the designer talks about how he approaches designing resort collections for a modern age, his relationships with house muses like Emma Stone, Jennifer Connelly, and the new addition, gold medalist Alysa Liu, his life in Los Angeles, and why it’s “such a weird place,” and the advice Jean Paul Gaultier once gave him.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

    Michelle Pfeiffer is Booked and Busy | PLUS Gucci Takes Times Square

    Despite being busy doing press tours for two hit shows, Michelle Pfeiffer always has time for pizza and champagne nights with Dakota and Elle Fanning. “We all want the white pizza,” says Pfeiffer on their menu preference but admits she does a controversial order, “I do like pineapple on white pizza.”  Pfeiffer joins guest host Margaux Anbouba, Vogue’s Senior Beauty and Wellness Editor on The Run-Through podcast to talk about her roles on The Madison on Paramount+ and Margo’s Got Money Troubles on Apple TV with her co-star and pizza party goer Elle Fanning. Off screen, Pfeiffer has been working on top secret formulas for her fragrance company Henry Rose which she launched in 2019.  “The truth is memory and scent are right next to each other in the brain,” explains Pfeiffer. “They're absolutely intertwined. In fact, it's the only part of the brain where there's crossover. And that's why fragrance is so powerful.”  Plus,  Chloe Malle recaps the Gucci Times Square extravaganza and the Dior Cruise show in Los Angeles, and is joined once again by editors Taylor Antrim and Marley Marius to break down all the culture they're looking forward to this summer.   The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
