Model Soo Joo Park celebrated the release of “Take It Off,” her new single that dropped Friday morning, by attending the Kenzo show that night.
A friend told her they had heard it on the radio earlier in the day.
“So, I feel pretty good. I’d written it such a long time ago, and I’ve been waiting for the right time, and it was in a little bit of a holding pattern, so I’m just really happy to share it with the world and have it out,” she said.
It’s the first single from her upcoming album “No Ghost,” which has been in the works for the last two-and-a-half years. The album will have five tracks and stick close to what has become her dreamy signature sound. It will be out Feb. 14.
“It’s written and inspired by my experience and a little bit of fashion references,” she said. Park has also tried her hand at acting in the series “Sense8,” and is a regular at Cannes through her L’Oréal ambassadorship, but she doesn’t know if any more screen roles are in the cards.
Though it was a menswear show, Park gave a little preview of what is to come by wearing pieces that will be shown for the women’s collection in March. The model sported a pair of fuzzy pink briefs with a cropped polo top and a long black coat.
Rapper NLE Choppa just released the single “Dare U” with Imagine Dragons, and credited the collaboration to “a lot of prayer.”
“I feel like I put God first and when you put him first a lot of things just fall into your lap sometimes when you’re working hard, so it’s a blessing,” he said.
“I’m blessed. I’m so grateful to be here. It’s a beautiful setup. Out of every show I’ve been to I think this is the most beautiful establishment,” he said, sweeping his arms across the expanse of the Palais Chaillot and its stunning view of the Eiffel Tower.
The show’s ending was coordinated to coincide with a minute of dazzling sparkle, proving that the Eiffel Tower was the real star of the show.
