These are just sashes,

I m really into this whole thing.

I know everyone s been wearing it,

but I thought I was doing it two years ago.

[rock music]

I love my band, so it really...

Ha! Todd Morse everybody!

It s Style.com

Style.com?

What do I got on that s stylish?

[rock music]

OK, my new favorite place is Istanbul, Turkey.

So, I got something from there that I like to wear.

And I don t know, it makes me feel a bit...

Regal.

Rebellious.

Regal and rebellious.

It makes me feel like I m going to jump

on the magic carpet ride.

I think I have a thing for headpieces, too.

I always like this region to be decorated.

When I got nominated for an Oscar at like 19,

I thought I m going to wear gangster braids to the Oscars.

[laughs]

It made me feel strong and raw and beautiful.

♪ We go riding, we don t know where ♪

♪ But we end up here and there ♪

Do you know this dot.com place has every designer

you ve ever wanted to know about?

You can look it up, am I right?

There s a duo called Holtz...

No.

It s Something and Something

And it might be Dutch or Danish.

Viktor and Rolf!

That was so not Danish.

♪ I apologize for these lyrics ♪

♪ I m making them up on the spot yeah ♪

It is fun to play dress up,

and go the royal ball and go to the Halloween party.

Viktor and Rolf, they do interesting stuff.

I love designers like that too,

and Alexander McQueen.

One season, you re like what?

You re blowing my mind.

It s avant garde, it s high art.

It is like a Bowie show.

Then another season, you re like what?

Hold on, I m not going with you on that journey.

But that s the joy of really adventurous designers,

is they break their own rules.
