Dan Levy Wants You to Dress Like His TV Show Characters For Halloween

“I was seriously considering taking a beta blocker before this interview,” Dan Levy told guest hosts Hannah Jackson and Margaux Anbouba on the Run-Through Podcast, “the first time I ever took a beta blocker was like an hour and a half before hosting the Emmys.” Luckily for this anxious trio, the stakes of this episode were much lower than on the stage of a prominent awards ceremony. 

Levy came onto the show a few weeks before the release of his latest show Big Mistakes, co-created by Rachel Sennott, which comes to Netflix April 9th and is about two siblings who accidentally find themselves entrenched in a world of organized crime. This show, like Schitt’s Creek, is a family drama, but this time the stakes are a little higher. “Committing to an idea that you feel excited to tell in a long form format is an intense thing,” Levy told the hosts, “And I have a very irrational fear of being blackmailed into organized crime.” 

For his sake, one hopes he never ends up in that situation because as he confessed, “I would be instantly murdered.” Reflecting on who might also not do so well in such circumstances, he thought of Sennott, who he first met while working on The Idol. “That’s a compliment,” he clarified. The pair went on to write the pilot together and “the rest is history!”

His style was also a big topic of conversation. His earliest sartorial days involved shopping at Club Monaco, apparently a brand coveted by Toronto teens, and folding clothes in the Gap Kids to the songs of Nelly Furtado and New Radicals. It was a bit later on that he first discovered and made purchases at JW Anderson and Rick Owens. Now, around a decade later, he’s good friends with the likes of Jonathan Anderson and Michael Rider. 

Also on the episode, Chioma Nnadi and Laura Ingham sat down in the British Vogue studios to discuss the latest goings on from across the pond. This past weekend, the pair attended London’s Vogue co-hosted by Alexa Chung and Lila Moss which helped support the UK based charity Give Your Best. They gushed about the latest very beachy cover of Olivia Rodrigo, bare feet and all. The vintage pulls for that shoot complimented Rodrigo’s personal style well and were an instant wish list for the rest of us. They closed out their chat with some big news: their dear friend Christopher Kane is stepping into the role of Creative Director at the House of Mulberry—bravo!
