- Thank you.
2
Hi, Vogue.
3
Come get ready with me.
4
I mean, this look is how I'm introducing the video.
5
Okay.
6
Welcome to the Met.
7
So this is my third time going to the Met.
8
really nice time, so I've been looking forward to it for a while.
9
There's nothing like the Met.
10
This is Emily.
11
She's doing shit to my face.
12
This is Benjamin doing shit to my hair.
13
We are gluing in long, long, long, long, long bits of hair.
14
Because essentially the whole thing is going to come down into a ponytail that we're going to braid. But...
15
They've been putting in all these for the last two hours.
16
Then Emily, you want to talk about the makeup?
17
You always have such a good idea of what you like.
18
And between me, you and Dina, we had like really nice references.
19
Yeah, I sent her lots of photos of eyes.
20
I've been just saving pictures of like dresses that I've found beautiful for the last however many months.
21
I was really interested in lots of layers.
22
That was the main thing.
23
I knew I wanted something white.
24
Sorry.
25
I knew I wanted something black.
26
I wanted it to be just lots of different layers, lots of different textures.
27
We had an amazing Shah and she has created us a really exquisite look.
28
All pre -existing fabrics that she has used over the years and that exist in her atelier
29
- The dress has a lot of ribbon and beads and again, different layers of stuff.
30
And so I really wanted to incorporate that in the hair.
31
- I kind of wanted to blur the line between the dress and the hair.
32
I just really liked that idea of not knowing really where the hair starts in the dress.
33
And I've always been a little more masculine than feminine.
34
Thank you.
35
And then I had this one moment when I was 17 where I was like, - And then you're missing.
36
I want to pretend to be a girl for a second.
37
One of the first times I wore a dress to an event, it was really scary.
38
I've just had to like convince myself that I'm allowed to B masculine and also be feminine when I want to.
39
We're done.
40
Sort of.
41
And we're gonna throw on the dress.
42
Well, I was really honored to collaborate on the look with Billy.
43
But I wanted to kind of repurpose lace through all my different collections and almost
44
make them into a tapestry and look at something that was very fragile in the tulle
45
and then use all the embellishment almost like an armor and like a harness on top.
46
As usual, my final touch, Irish number two. And we're off!
47
Woo! So long!
48
I'm off to the next level.
49
Off I go.
50
Bye.
51
Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
