The walk is very important in the fashion business. You have to work hard for it. It's the same as all other jobs. Walking is not easy.

In this wind tunnel, Anastasia really puts the girls through their paces and focuses on every detail of their walk.
ANASTASIA
Now, I want your big smile and let’s start the show. Come on!
ATAUI
Yeah.
ANASTASIA
Let's do it.
Heads like that, okay. And when you make a step, right, step. You try to touch with your--you don’t move your hands. So you move your hips from that way to this way. You don’t go like this. Just go like that, okay? And you don’t move your shoulders, okay? Let’s try one.
If you’re walking on the heels, the heels, especially the thin heels, the very high ones, oh, it's very sexy.
I think it’s very beautiful and that's regardless of that.
Push, push your hips, push, push, push, push.
One, two, one, two...
More, exaggerate it, more, one, two, one, two... I don’t see they're touching your hands. They're not touching your hands.
Come on, and one, two, one, two. Pushing.
It's like--specifically you go there and you go one, two. You're pushing yourself more--two. One, two. Straight legs, straighten this leg. Come on, and one, two, one...
Don’t bring your arms too much in the back. Don’t go through the arms. You act like you’re cleaning something. And, one, two, one two, hips. One, two, one, two. Step, back.
Oh, relax your muscles. One, two, three, four... Have it straight, you have to focus again.
What was this like? Watch your arm go define your move. One, two... That’s good. That's good. That was really good. Okay, one more time.
Sometimes the stage is very high and there is nothing. You can fell.

Five, six... You missed the mark, you see? Your mark has to be right here, right here, okay?
JUJU
I'm like, oh my god. You're like, of course, I have a bad day because like, I'm growing...
ANASTASIA
One, two, three, four, five... Once you--Juju, where did I say the mark is? You’re not stopping there. You’re stopping here. Here is the cross and you’re right here.
We’ve been working all day, you know, with the girls, so I guess tomorrow is another day. We have a very short length of time to make them professional people, models.
Pull, pull and go. This is what you’re going to do?
ATAUI
No.
ANASTASIA
Or are you going to walk?
