Transcript
SIMON DOONAN
My name is Simon Doonan, I'm the Creative Director of Barney's New York. We're going to see what happens when you take some incredible raw talent and prepare it for the runway. Coaching these models is Anastassia, an incredible creative force in the fashion world. Anastassia is a legend. Wait until you see what she does with these girls.
This is High Heel Boot Camp.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
Welcome to the glamorous world of modeling. Usually it's very glamorous but maybe not right now. Look at me in my pajamas.
I came here when I was 17. My first show which I did was Armani, and I think that idealized how glamorous that world is. And I was just a girl, you know, who was barely speaking English. It was hard for me to start and I didn’t know anything, you know, and I have to learn all these things.
So I thought, if I can help somebody to know that, then why not. Make them welcome to this glamorous world. You know, if you're having less problems than I did have, because I didn’t know a lot of things. So I have to learn it myself and give them a little touch of understanding how it works, how it can be. So they--it would be much easier for them in the future.

We're going to go and meet Anastassia and we're really like kind of nervous...
JUJU IVANYUK
And I'm so nervous, like...
ATAUI DENG
Oh...
JUJU IVANYUK
Because it's going to be our first--our lesson.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
I will not spend my time on someone if they don’t want to be the best, and if they want do, then they will be ready for the fashion week.
Hi, I'm Anastassia, nice to meet you.
JUJU IVANYUK
Juju.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
Nice to meet you, Juju. Ready for a challenge...
ATAUI DENG
Oh, yes.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
Ready to be trained?
ATAUI DENG
I do.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
Oh, that’s great. Well, let's do it.
SIMON DOONAN
This challenge is going to blow your mind. Wait until you see what Anastassia does with these girls on a balance beam.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
I will have to be hard on them. I need to be tough on them and they will thank me one day. Not today, probably not today, they don’t like me.
Hi girls. Today we’re going to have a challenge about how to be balanced, confident, how to walk straight without looking down. You’re going to put your high heels and go and try to walk on a beam.
ATAUI DENG
This looks like it's going to be fun, fun, fun, fun...
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
One, two, three, four...
JUJU IVANYUK
This is really hard.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
You see what you're doing? You’re moving all your body. I don't need you to move all your body.
Are we going to laugh in here or we going to work out?
On the cat walk, it's very important to have a balance. If you can walk straight on the beam, you know, you can walk straight on the catwalk.
ATAUI DENG
I can't do it.
ANASTASSIA KHOZISSOVA
You can.
ATAUI DENG
