This is part 2 (of 2) of a KZfaq live video streamed from the Amouage boutique in London on 21st June 2019. As usual: completely unscripted and unrehearsed. It features me in conversation with Christopher Chong, the long-standing Creative Director of Amouage who leaves his post at the end of the month.
When Christopher announced his departure, I asked if he’d like to mark the event with a live video on my channel, but the initial response he gave was somewhat non-committal, so I didn’t push the issue. However, when I arrived at the boutique for a meeting with him, I was surprised and delighted to hear him say that he wanted to broadcast a live video there and then. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as prepared as I’d have liked (no microphone, no lights, no wifi) but I didn’t want those barriers to stand in the way, so I just sat him down in front of my iPhone, crossed my fingers that the tech wouldn’t let us down... and off we went!
Thank goodness, quite a few people tuned in to the live stream (even though it was completely unannounced) and joined in the conversation with some excellent questions and observations. To them: a massive vote of thanks!
Sadly, the gadget gremlins had to make their presence felt at least once, which is why this video has been split into two parts. At around the 35-minute mark of part 1, we lost our KZfaq connection and had to stop and resume. But never mind: as I’ve said here before, a video with a few issues is better than no video at all, so I hope you enjoy watching it.
As I type these words, the facility to replay the live chat is still available on both videos, so you can read the contributions of the viewers as they were made.
