1299.441

Very cool. Yeah, it was a big moment for me because I thought, great, so here you go doing First Lady's to doing Anna Nicole Smith. I mean, you go from one spectrum to the other. And when people were asking me, oh, you're doing this and you're doing, I go, but they're all women. They're beautiful women. I'm a designer. I dress women. And regardless of what you think of that person, right?

Mick Unplugged

1371.078

But here's the thing. She's a beautiful person. She's a beautiful woman. What she does for a career, what she's good at or what she's known for, we all aspire to be attached to something. Yeah. And as long as you're healthy and doing it in the right way or that suits you. I think you should be allowed to be able to do what you like. But I'm a designer.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1394.24

So when people say, oh, you can't do that person, I'm like, why? Yeah. Yeah. That's what they said to me. You can never be a designer. I'm like, why? So when you ask why, I'm like, but it doesn't make sense. Somebody else could do it. Why couldn't I do it?

Mick Unplugged

1678.662

I was doing Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Bryant Park, which is when they used to do it underneath the tent in New York City. It's one of the biggest things ever. And we have a mutual friend who's a fashion photographer who happened... that I stayed with while I was in New York at Bryant Park. He said, oh, great, let's do the interviews at my studio. It'll get exposure.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1707.097

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1790.718

It's either my way or the fucking highway. So take a pick. So you want to be on the highway? Go for it.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

18.558

It's beyond not taking it personal. It's understanding what the marketplace needs.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1854.26

Let me clarify. I know how to do all of those things. I choose not to. You do not know how to do all those things.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1882.401

So what I mean to say is- But he's a great designer. I know how to do all of it. You know, I want him to feel that he also has tasks and responsibilities that make the machine work so that he feels like he belongs.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1911.535

I think you and I know the truth at this point. Okay.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1941.061

And jump off into the water. And then swim to the kayak as they're towing it in the back of the little boat. Raft. I did. I did it.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1959.336

Did you hear how he said he did it? Okay, you did it with me.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

1990.476

You asked how do you balance work and life and everything together. I think it's because I don't say no. I'm not in this relationship for myself. So I'm not asking for, oh, here's what I would like to do. Here's what I want for me. Oh, you know, I've never done that and I don't want to. I just know I don't want to. I've never been that person. We always challenge each other.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2017.634

Because I've always been told no. I never say no, because I don't want to ever say no to anyone that I've never experienced something new. And how am I going to know what that is unless I do it? And if I do, whether I like it or not. And if it's something that makes my partner happy, am I not there 50% to support them in what they are there to do? Because it's their life journey as well.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2050.555

And I don't want to impede their life journey just because I have an issue. But why do I have an issue? Maybe because I had a bad experience because of the person that I was with before or the scenario. But I feel comfortable knowing that I can trust the person that I'm with isn't going to lead me astray.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

208.342

Well, when it comes to fashion, since I was 12 years old, it was something that I've always wanted to do, but it's been very challenging because coming from a background being Armenian, a transplant into the country when I was six years old and not being able to have the versatility to have the exposure and my family understanding what I really wanted to do.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2162.589

Even though other people that were on the cover were coupled, they weren't together. They weren't, they never did a cover shot because we did a cover cover shot and the cover was only a single.

Mick Unplugged

2205.523

Well, it's everywhere you go. But YouTube is fun because when you get it on YouTube and it's free to subscribe. Yep. And what you do is you're actually getting to see. the expressions on our friends who are the celebrities that we interview and the crazy stuff that they say because they feel like they're sitting there at home with us hanging out and it's live.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2261.605

It's insane that I have a month and a half out waiting list of people that are trying to get in to the door.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2269.507

And we have bundles. So the minute they're done, they do a bundle so that they can get a link to be able to get to see me every other month. They're canceling their therapy sessions just to be able to hang out.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2306.115

Yeah. Yeah. Did you see them when I read her coffee grounds? Yeah. Yes. She's blown away. Was she? Her expression was, what? How do you know this? Yeah. And like, I'm your cop. Yeah.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

232.483

They kept saying that it's an impossibility because I needed to do something that was more relatable to what they understood. not what I figured out that was my calling, that I wanted to be a part of, the world of. And getting beaten up and telling me that I'm not good enough and I'm never going to be successful I thought to myself, well, wait a minute.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2394.982

No, totally agree. The thing is everybody from around the world have been booking. Yeah. And the time zone doesn't matter. We ship you all the products you need. Yep. And the one thing that I did say is I want it to be accessible and affordable for everyone to be able to take. advantage of and not make it so expensive where people can't

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2452.557

Plus, we have the boutique, and people are welcome to come in. We get the TMZ bus, the Hollywood Reporter bus. All of them, they stop in in front of the boutique. They talk about Anna Nicole. They talk about gowning out. They talk about undress. And then we're here all the time. So we always go out. We do a shout out. We say hello. We take pictures of people that are walking by. Yeah.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2492.812

He had to learn lines. And let me tell you, I didn't even audition for it. I just showed up at the party and they said, oh, my God, he's beautiful. He's perfect for this.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2505.757

I said, but I'm not here for me. I'm just here supporting my husband in his role. They're like, OK, would you want to do a role? I said. I don't know about acting.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2549.87

So let's go back to it's either my way or the highway because you know. You ain't going to be on the highway if I ain't with you. I let him have it.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

256.828

Did you not bring us to America for all those opportunities? Now I want that opportunity. How is it that you took me out of my little village and then brought me all the way here? And now you're telling me I can't do it. Well, if I couldn't do it, you should have just kept me where I was because now that I'm here. I've got to figure out how to do it.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2566.137

Oh, and all I did was say, you know what? Isn't there a character missing on this poster that has such an important, that occupies such important space?

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2588.57

I mean, I'm pretty- You couldn't let him have just a little bit? I did. I did. He's in the bottom, in the center. I'm on the top, on the side.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2599.861

I just, you know- I don't make these decisions. I just, and that's the one thing.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2608.105

You don't make them, you influence them. I didn't even try to influence them. I only want to be the very best version of me every single day and be present to every single thing that we're there for. So if I'm that person and people get to notice me, then you know what? I don't want to say no to them when they offer me a role.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2631.407

I don't want to break their hearts and spirit in the direction that they want to take the vision. I'm like, I'm still there. I'm going to support it. I sat on set for 14 hours.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2657.039

And they wanted to give me more lines. I said, you know what? This is overwhelming. It's a lot. Let's just stay with two lines.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2677.531

Well, that's because he's always wanted to be an actor. He's an actor. I'm not. I just play me all day. Listen, I don't know how to do anything else. I don't know how to be anybody else. I don't even want to try. It's too much to be this.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2696.256

It's a lot between designing gowns. Running the boutique, being a teacher, teaching fashion, doing the podcast, having the TV show, Gown and Out, doing the radio show.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2718.87

Doing the coffee reads. I'm the one doing it. Hello.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2731.017

Of course. I did have a conversation with my boss. I did have a conversation with my boss last night and it didn't go that well. I'm reconsidering maybe finding another partner in the business for me to money get.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

277.816

And if you can't help me how to figure it out, I guess I'm going to have to do the heavy lifting on that part too. So I just started embarking on the journey of wanting to be a fashion designer. And after 35 years of being in Beverly Hills... I'm still trying to figure out how to be a fashion designer. I mean, I've had my boutique for 35 years and a lot of people ask me, have you found success?

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

2797.773

Paul. P-O-L-A-T-T-E-U. All my platforms. Please follow me. I need me some followers. Just follow me. It doesn't hurt you. It doesn't cost you. So ring my bell, press the subscribe button, or just press the follow button, bitch. Let's go.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

304.676

Do you feel like you know what success is? And I wonder if I've ever wanted the success in the capacity that they're asking me to question in. Because I think the success was when I decided what I wanted to do when I was 12 and embarking on the journey to be able to see my dreams come true in the capacity that I have. Am I successful? In a lot of ways, yes. Do I find that I'm at my success level?

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

335.401

Probably not because there's so much more to do. There's so much more you uncover. There's so much more that you inspire yourself to want to do. And then, of course, knowing how fast fashion changes, right? And keeping up with the trends, the colors, the styles, the fit, and being a world renowned, there's so many different markets that you have to tap into.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

362.029

You're thinking to yourself, this can't be it. There's more. And then every day you wake up, you're excited to have to do it again. And that's the journey that I'm still on. And having a boutique, a flagship store in Beverly Hills at Rodeo Drive for over 35 years. tells me that I've been doing it OK, but now I got to step it up and do a little better.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

458.289

It's beyond not taking it personal. It's understanding what the marketplace needs and where they're at in order for you to be to put together for them. And in the different markets that we have internationally around the world, there's so much that we have access to, especially with The Internet, especially with all the tools that we have available to ourselves now, it's become even more versed.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

49.859

It was a dark alley one night. There was a Benjamin involved. Couple ventures. He was doing a drive-by. I said, bitch, step aside. That's my man.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

493.153

And if you don't keep up, you fall off the face. And so you need to be able to make yourself relevant. One of the reasons why I started teaching, because I teach high school. Fashion. And one of the reasons why I started teaching is because I never had that growing up.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

510.601

I thought, great, well, if you can't figure it out in high school because they give you all the academics, how do you know what you want to do when you get to college and you're wasting another two years trying to figure out what it is that you're calling it? So in high school, we created a whole fashion program where then you're able to at least see, because there's so many facets to fashion.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

532.467

There's a business angle, there's the marketing, there's the design, there's the production. There's so many different, and any one of those businesses, can stand on their own entity. So it's not just fashion related. It's the computerization. It's the marketing. It's the social media. It's the advertising. It's the collection. It's the grading. It's the there's so many. And I thought, great.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

566.9

So you want to be a business person. Why don't you run a fashion conglomerate? If you want to be a social media expert, then why don't you do social media for a fashion brand or start one? If you're going to do designing, you could design anything. architecture do an entire building alongside the construction on a body.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

588.079

It's the same thing when you're doing on soil, the other one you're doing on a human figure. So having all those facets to an industry, that's one of the biggest, um, in the world. There's so many different places that when you're in high school, you've got the versatility to be able to go, Oh my God, I had no idea I could do that. I thought fashion was just, you design clothes.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

611.074

I don't want to be a designer, but I'm really good at marketing and I can take what their vision is, what the, the brand is. And I, Give it exposure that it really needs. And by the time you get to college, and a lot of kids don't want to go to college these days because they've already started a business when they're 15. They started a business when they're 14 online.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

635.894

So they're not looking to college to get a diploma to be able to get a job at a firm. They've got platforms online that they can sell, they can make, they can swap. There's so many different ways. They can trade, so many different things.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

653.489

And I'm like, what a great opportunity that I never had growing up until I got to college to figure out that I needed to learn, get a degree and then go get a job versus what technology is now offering the youth, how they can take advantage of being able to know to do it and not just wait for the opportunity to bring it. So create your own and start it how you do.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

685.271

And that's one of the reasons why I feel like giving back to that kind of a community and then being in the I find success in that. I find that I'm able to then nurture a generation of youth that never had the opportunity or wouldn't even think that it is possible. The way they never told me that it was for me when I was growing up.

Mick Unplugged

Patrik & Pol | Fashion, Fame, and Fun: Exploring Patrik & Pol's World on Mick Unplugged

We don't have an option. Sorry. It's either my way or the fucking highway. So take a pick. So you want to be on the highway? Go for it.
