Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere Discuss Clowns, Lighting, and Meme Accounts in Vogue's 'Off the Cuff'
In the latest episode of Vogue's 'Off the Cuff', Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, the cover stars of Vogue's September 2026 issue, engage in a candid conversation covering a range of topics from personal quirks to their roles in FX's 'The Shards'. Gerber, who graduated early from high school due to a lack of classes, reveals she suspects people underestimate her sense of humor, describing herself as 'dry'. Gere, who admits 'The Shards' is the first novel he's read since college, passionately criticizes overhead lighting, advocating for lamps and side lighting instead. Gerber confesses an irrational fear of clowns, while Gere muses on alternative careers such as furniture building or massage school. The interview also touches on their similarities and differences with their 'The Shards' characters, Gerber's Topshop skirt at the Dylan's Candy Bar opening in Los Angeles, and Gere's strong opinions on loafers. The video was directed by Nina Ljeti with cinematography by Brandon Yoon and editing by Michael Suyeda, featuring a full production crew including makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Guido Palau.
