A Zoom interview, Malibu Canyon shoot, and Santa Monica beach brunch later, my @refinery29 cover story with @chloekim is live! Loved being a part of this entire moment for AAPI Heritage Month, from chatting about the biggest pressure of her life (it’s not winning gold!) to shuttling the two-time Olympic champion around our shoot location in my decade-old Mazda. The shoot was crewed nearly entirely by AAPIs and all the looks are from local AAPI designers. The photos are *incredible* but the first is my personal fave. The fresh take on a hanbok – perfect 🥲 check it out, link in bio! #representationmatters #chloekim #apahm #aapiheritagemonth Photographer: Tracy Nguyen @tracythnguyen Photo Assistants: Carlos Quinteros Jr., Kayla James Wardrobe Stylist: Ashley Guerzon @ashleyguerzon Wardrobe Assistant: Taylor Burch Set Design: Chloe Park for Art Department @chloeparkstudio Set Assistant: Josh Harron Makeup: Grace Pae for The Wall Group @grace_pae Hair: Sienree @sienree Production Assistant: Max Jaffe DP: Joanna Thanh há Nguyen @jtngu Video Editor: David Rho Music: T8/Jingle Punks R29 Team Writer, Entertainment Director: Melissah Yang @melissahyang Senior Executive Director Photo & Design: Sarah Filippi @sarah.filippi____ Deputy Photo Director: Lauren DiLello Stair @laurendilellostair Senior Photo Producer: Agustina Gaviola @agustinagaviola Photo Editor: Yuki Mizuma @yukimizuma Senior Designer: Angie Zou @itsangiezou Design Director: Andreina Carrillo @ndre VP, Talent Relations & Casting: Dana Stern @danastern25 Global Editor-In-Chief: Simone Oliver @simonesoliver
