The Run-Through with Vogue

Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: three of Anna Wintour’s former assistants—Sache Taylor (Vogue’s director of special events), Sammi Tapper (director of operations and content strategy), and Marley Marius (senior editor, features and news), or “Anna’s Angels,” as Chloe calls them—join The Run-Through to discuss what The Devil Wears Prada got right (and wrong).
They break down the real day-to-day of the job, from managing the infamous “book” to why there’s so much running around the office—and share whether assistants ever actually get to wear pieces from the Vogue closet. One of the funniest revelations: how hard it can be to decode Anna’s handwriting. While Marley claims that she became fluent, Sammi reveals that even Anna has trouble reading it sometimes.
Also in this episode, Chloe tells Chioma all about her big week, which included seeing Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway and going to Saturday Night Live with her mom, Candice Bergen; and Chioma joins in on The Devil Wears Prada fun, sharing what she wore to her interview with Anna and advising anyone aspiring to work at Vogue not to make the mistake of wearing black.

For the first time, Anna Wintour graces Vogue's cover alongside Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)! On the cover the two devils are wearing two pradas! On this episode of The Run-Through, Chloe invites Virginia Smith (Vogue's Director of Global Fashion Network) to breakdown how this historic cover came to be and what goes behind making a top secret cover happen. You'll also hear snippets from Greta Gerwig's cover conversation with the two women where they discuss aging, grandmotherhood, and what part of each other's job they would dread the most!
Earlier in the episode, Rachel Comey speaks to Nicole Phelps about her unconventional origin story, how she funded her early production, and the upcoming opening of her Christopher Street store. She also discusses about how she managed to stay independent and find her own audience, which has come to include writers, directors, and artists like Zadie Smith and Miranda July. On her design process, Comey says, “I really think about design as a service to the client and making sure that they're feeling the things they want to feel in the rooms that they want to go into.”As fashion increasingly catches up to the inclusive casting Comey has long practiced, she plans to keep doing things her own way.

The Belgian designer Glenn Martens is surely one of the busiest men in fashion, holding Creative Director roles at both Maison Margiela and Diesel. Martens invited The Run-Through to Margiela’s Paris headquarters during fashion week to talk about his new collection that showed yesterday in Shanghai.
Martens presented both his ready-to-wear and Artisanal couture collections together, accompanied by four exhibitions across China, each dedicated to a founding code of the house. The exhibitions will bring the brand's history to Chinese audiences, covering everything from the iconic “bianchetto” white painting tradition to the house's long philosophy of anonymity. “We love clothes and craftsmanship and garments,” Martens said. “We don't want to focus on the person wearing it."
Martens unpacks the artistic vision behind his third collection for the house, which draws on porcelain dolls and Margiela's instinct for finding luxury in the overlooked. Martens’ team combed secondhand markets for 19th-century gowns and furniture, which were transformed through extraordinary techniques, including dresses dipped entirely in beeswax.
Martens also reveals the secret weapon he used to win over the studio team in his first weeks on the job: his absolutely adorable border terrier, Murphy. "Everybody was smiling, the doors opened, people were screaming, playing around," he said. Murphy has since been gifted his own miniature lab coat.
When it comes to sustaining the creative demands of running two major houses simultaneously, Martens credits countryside weekends as his saving grace — including a Christmas gift he bought himself: a bulldozer for planting trees. "I felt like a proper boy," he said.
Looking at the big picture, Glenn wants to keep having fun. “At the end of the day… that's the reason why we started fashion: because it brings joy.”

Emma Chamberlain will go to great lengths to find the right piece of vintage for her closet. She is not a stranger to curling up in bed at the end of a long day to try to hunt for the perfect item for her wardrobe when she gets a break from her demanding schedule. 
“I kinda let the algorithm take me on a journey,’ says Chamberlain on her online shopping habits. “The internet… it is a mess. It is toxic, but I'm gonna use the algorithm to my benefit, if I can.”
Although Chamberlain says when she does have a break, she loves to shop in person. "When I'm in New York, Chinatown,” says Chamberlain giving a shoutout to James Veloria. “But also all the little shops up in that little shopping center.” 
At home in Los Angeles, Chamberlain has one hotspot she keeps going back to, the Rose Bowl Flea Market.  
Chamberlain will be back on Vogue’s Met Gala carpet this May as Vogue's special correspondent for her sixth consecutive year. “I don't expect anything…Like every year I'm like, ‘This could be the last year’,” says Chamberlain. “I am so grateful that I've ever been able to do it.” 
Also on this episode, Vogue Runway's Irene Kim and producer Alex Jhamb Burns take listeners inside the second annual Vogue Vintage Market which took place this past Saturday.  They spoke to folks in the line—some who had been waiting for hours—about the vintage pieces they were most coveting and the pieces they walked out the door with.

“I was seriously considering taking a beta blocker before this interview,” Dan Levy told guest hosts Hannah Jackson and Margaux Anbouba on the Run-Through Podcast, “the first time I ever took a beta blocker was like an hour and a half before hosting the Emmys.” Luckily for this anxious trio, the stakes of this episode were much lower than on the stage of a prominent awards ceremony. 
Levy came onto the show a few weeks before the release of his latest show Big Mistakes, co-created by Rachel Sennott, which comes to Netflix April 9th and is about two siblings who accidentally find themselves entrenched in a world of organized crime. This show, like Schitt’s Creek, is a family drama, but this time the stakes are a little higher. “Committing to an idea that you feel excited to tell in a long form format is an intense thing,” Levy told the hosts, “And I have a very irrational fear of being blackmailed into organized crime.” 
For his sake, one hopes he never ends up in that situation because as he confessed, “I would be instantly murdered.” Reflecting on who might also not do so well in such circumstances, he thought of Sennott, who he first met while working on The Idol. “That’s a compliment,” he clarified. The pair went on to write the pilot together and “the rest is history!”
His style was also a big topic of conversation. His earliest sartorial days involved shopping at Club Monaco, apparently a brand coveted by Toronto teens, and folding clothes in the Gap Kids to the songs of Nelly Furtado and New Radicals. It was a bit later on that he first discovered and made purchases at JW Anderson and Rick Owens. Now, around a decade later, he’s good friends with the likes of Jonathan Anderson and Michael Rider. 
Also on the episode, Chioma Nnadi and Laura Ingham sat down in the British Vogue studios to discuss the latest goings on from across the pond. This past weekend, the pair attended London’s Vogue co-hosted by Alexa Chung and Lila Moss which helped support the UK based charity Give Your Best. They gushed about the latest very beachy cover of Olivia Rodrigo, bare feet and all. The vintage pulls for that shoot complimented Rodrigo’s personal style well and were an instant wish list for the rest of us. They closed out their chat with some big news: their dear friend Christopher Kane is stepping into the role of Creative Director at the House of Mulberry—bravo!
