The Run-Through with Vogue

“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!

WNBA star Aja Wilson's love for fashion started when she was just a toddler. “My parents always laugh at me because at a young age I would love things with my back out. I don't know why I would love a good top with my back out. Like, I'm a toddler and my onesie needs to have its back out.” A’ja recalls as she sits down with Head of Editorial Content Chloe Malle and Vogue's Global Casting Director Ignacio Murillo on The Run-Through Podcast.
Wilson’s style has evolved since she was first drafted to the Las Vegas Aces in 2018. She is entering the second year of her Nike signature athlete journey and her latest shoe the A'Two has debuted in Europe. “The process is always pretty hands-on for me. I love to try to make it something for the consumer, but also very comfortable for myself and also durable,” says Wilson. “There's also a tattoo of mine in the tongue of the shoe. It's a sign that says ‘You have to face setbacks in order to move forward.’ So, I feel like that's something everyone can relate to.”
Although lately, there has been cause for celebration rather than setbacks in Wilson’s life as her boyfriend Bam Adebayo who plays for the Miami Heat recently scored 83 points against the Washington Wizards and now  the second-highest total in NBA history.  A record previously held by the late Kobe Bryant. 
“I was actually just sitting in the car for a little bit. I was running a little late, but that's nothing new.” Wilson says about her whereabouts during the record setting game. “And then when I go in and I'm in the tunnel and I just hear his name, they're like, “Bam scored again.”
“And I'm like, I can't go sit down. And I'm just hiding in the tunnel just enough that I can see the jumbotron. But then finally I go sit down and then he misses his first free throw. And I'm just like, “Oh my gosh, it's me.” But at the same time, I know that's how the game goes,’ says Wilson.
“I've seen all the work that [Bam’s] been through. Now it's paying off. And I am so happy that he's able to have that moment in his history. It's pretty cool to kind of see him flourish in that space.” 
Off the court, Wilson says the duo are enthralled by watching Shonda Rhimes’s 2012 hit TV show Scandal for the first time. “It's popping in our household and we love us some Olivia Pope and some Jake Ballad and Fitz,” says Wilson. “Those are our homies. I feel like we're just best friends at this point.”

On this Wednesday’s episode of The Run-Through, Doja Cat—Vogue’s April cover star and the host of the second annual Vogue Vintage Market—calls in from her dining room in Los Angeles.
Accompanied by her cat Axel, the 30-year-old rapper shares behind-the-scenes moments from her cover shoot with photographer Willy Vanderperre and Vogue’s contributing style director, Carlos Nazario; gets into her interest in taxidermy (she recently acquired “the ass of a bovine”); and describes what her life looks like during breaks from her Tour Ma Vie World Tour: “Downtime for me is, I put on a heating blanket and play Fortnite, or I watch Judy Justice.”
But she is also thinking ahead—about various tour logistics; about the one major outfit she wears per performance (she keeps staring at sketches for next week’s look without quite knowing what they’ll become). She’s also on the Met Gala host committee this year, but has yet to decide what she’ll turn up in.
Elsewhere in the episode, Doja shares some of the revelations she’s had during her twice-weekly therapy sessions, along with her (surprisingly understated) go-to brands when she’s not onstage.

The marathon that is Awards Season (at least for those of us with jobs in media) finally came to its close last night. As has become tradition, the Run-Through podcast hosts, along with colleagues Taylor Antrim and Christian Allaire, gathered early on this foggy morning to discuss their takes on the 98th Academy Awards. 
The conversation started off with everyone’s best dressed picks. For Chioma, this included Wunmi Mosaku who dazzled in her sparkling emerald green Louis Vuitton dress. The list of best dressed also included Renate Reinsve, another star in Louis Vuitton, and Gwenyth Paltrow in Armani Privé who both sported dramatic slits. Slits were just one of the fashion trends making a splash on last night's red carpet, reminding editors of Angelina Jolie’s internet-breaking dress slit at the 2012 ceremony. 
Feathers were another item in vogue on the carpet and were worn by Teyana Taylor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan. A conversation around the many jewels and rare diamonds being worn last night spawned a curiosity about the guards who work the Oscars. Perhaps a 2027 diamond guard get ready with me story is forthcoming?
As for two of the biggest categories of the night—best actor and best actress—everyone was in agreement that Michael B Jordan and recent guest of the podcast Jessie Buckley, were chic and deserving winners. Up next, Met gala season!

Confidence was one of the key themes from this Paris Fashion Week. Recording from the Vogue Paris office ahead of Chanel and Louis Vuitton, our hosts (and special guest Claire Thomson-Jonville, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue France) were in agreement: many of the new creative directors have stopped auditioning for their roles and started owning them. Nowhere was that clearer than at Givenchy, where Sarah Burton proved she'd hit her stride.
Michael Rider's third outing for Celine at the Institut de France was also a highlight: "Expensive-looking, but aspirationally relatable," as Sarah Mower put it. The Michael Rider effect can already be seen in the wild, with Vogue staffers spotted doing their own styling interpretations inspired by the runway.
Pieter Mulier’s intimate farewell at Alaïa, with standing room and children in the audience, was a moving moment from the week. Mulier’s decision to seat the full atelier team and commemorate them in a book felt particularly meaningful. 
As Paris Fashion Week came to a close, all eyes were once again on Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel. British Vogue March cover star (and Run-Through alum!) Bhavitha Mandava was just announced as house ambassador, and her appearance on the runway is highly anticipated. As Chloe Malle said in her sign-off: "Happy Chanel Day to all who celebrate!"
