We had "artist reports" in advanced drawing today

Sacha Baron Cohen, as Brüno, interviews Hushi, a fashion designer, after a show:

Brüno: What I loved about the show was that it had no humor at all, which was just so powerful.
Hushi: Well, it was dead serious.
Brüno: Yeah.
Hushi: Yeah. It was super-serious.

[...]

Brüno: How did you keep the show humorous all the way along?
Hushi: Using pop icons.

[...]

Brüno: Why was the show all about the individual?
Hushi: Because that's what we are and that's what we prefer everyone to be.

[...]

Brüno: It's amazing because this show was, at its essence, all about other people. Why?
Hushi: Because when you're an artist you look at other people, and that's how you become an artist, is you observe.

[...]

Brüno: I found the collection so heavy that it was pulling me down into a place better than heaven.
Hushi: Yeah, I wanted it to be like a weight on people. I wanted you to just fall, collapse.

[...]

Brüno: How did you make sure that the show was just so light?
Hushi: Because when, because we wanted things to flow but at the same time not just be too overly feminine.
Brüno: Yeah.
Hushi: Yeah.
Brüno: But you somehow managed to achieve the sense of the whole show kind of being lighter than air, everyone just floating up.
Hushi: Yeah, that's what it was. They were in the clouds. They were in space.

And that's my favorite clip from Da Ali G Show.
