Doja Cat On “Pushing Boundaries” With Fashion at Couture Week

While Doja’s Schiaparelli moment certainly started out couture week with a bang—“we set the bar high,” says Nelson—the pair went on to deliver some equally headline-making looks last week. At Viktor & Rolf, Doja sported fake eyelashes as a beard and goatee. “I was able to have a bit of fun with my lashes,” says Doja. “They wanted lashes, so I gave them lashes.” At Valentino, Doja went sleek in a black mini dress and overcoat; At Jean Paul Gaultier, she embraced color in a sharp-shouldered cobalt blue coat. The latter show, by Haider Ackermann, was a favorite of hers. “The details were so insane, and the production from the music to the way the models interacted was just so cool,” says Doja. “Every show there were pieces that I loved.”

Now that the Grammys are coming up this week, meanwhile, you can expect Doja to continue playing dress up. Can you expect to see her wearing any of the couture creations she saw come down the catwalk? Nelson hints at the possibilities. “The details at Jean Paul Gaultier were absolutely insane,” he says. “There is also a photo of me with the biggest grin at the Viktor & Rolf show; They just have so much fun with fashion.” Whatever she ends up sporting on the red carpet, the rapper tells Vogue you can expect something memorable: ”I’m just looking forward to bringing that level of art and creativity to my music and live show.”
