most normal people dont even care that something like that exists and what is provocative ? Walking trash bags or metal bdsm cages ? What is the point of clothes show where presented clothes cannot be even worn ..... "gets people goin" ? what ? what gets people goin ? Which people ?
@@mateuszkrytyk5711 i dont think “normal people” is the target market for these shows. And imo, fashion is so boring if its only things that can be worn casually. Fashion can be fun, stupid, interesting, provocative. Just like art, it does not have to be functional. Its a media for the artists to express their ideas and experiment.
One overarching theme among many of the designers is volume, enlarging the personal space that surrounds the wearer. This is inspired by the pandemic, with its cautions about being too close to other persons. In the same theme, other looks say, "Don't touch me!" Condoms as gloves, heavy rubber gloves, icy accessories, upturned bazooka missile bustier. An exception that proves the rule is Koche's collection. Just so you know, I wrote all of this before RUI said "lockdown in Shanghai for two months" was her inspiration. BTW, I loved, loved, loved Benmoyal's outfit. So sharp. I want one.
Florals are a thing because everyone loves them (well, okay, I do), plus there are so many variations. Why be scared of these motifs? (Not to mention the monet textile towards the end...that was deeply cool)
Consuming fashion content online gets dull often, your videos are always a breathe of fresh air Bliss. Keep it up. I love seeing your fashion week videos. These videos are the epitome of everything I love about fashion.
Vaquera's "jumping off point," as they put it, was interesting to consider being that I live in Nevada and know the locals who run the gas station closest to Burning Man. I barely get Burning Man from it aesthetically, but that energy is definitely in the clothes. There was a point long before my current appreciation/understanding of fashion where I would have rolled my eyes at that statement, but now I have learned to roll with it and let the ideas sweep me away. This channel has elevated my appreciation to its current point far greater than any other critic. I thank you for that. Noir Kei undeniably looks like something you would see at Burning Man a week into a psychedelic binge. Stating for a friend.
💙 botter oceanwaterprint/dyed jeans! and the webbed gloves, hope i can get a pair for the nextime i go diving gmbh's denim looks and the boots! benjamin benmoyal's jacquard and that pretty necklace! 🔥 merci!
*IMO* I see Ninomiya's first piece to be a conceptual in both general form (later pieces), and as a diagrammatic representation of motion (earlier pieces). If you trace the 'tubes' you notice a downward motion in an arc that returns inwards towards the core. You can see the motion replicated in, for example, the sticks with tufts one the ends serving as weights to dampen the rebound and recreate the 'arc', or in the wireframe balls that are delicate enough to have shape memory, again tracing the 'arc' motion, albeit inn a more 'boing boing' manner. In terms of materiality or construction, I think its introducing a sort of perforated skin, much like chainmail. That being said, I see this as a very architectural way of conceptual representation, on making objective the intangible, as simply as possible.
an interesting fashion history video idea would be one discussing the work of bill cunningham (as a photographer, fashion writer, and hat designer) -- even if you don't do one, I would still highly recommend his memoir as a firsthand view of midcentury nyc fashion life!
What a beautiful video, but it made me wonder if you had to rent an extra room for all your shirts. I think I need to watch the video at 1/4 speed , because I keep wanting to find some sort of theme to the whole mess. Also, I would like to at least visit a city where folks wandered around in Noir Kei Ninomiya.
I have no idea if you personally will read this...I am here in Chicago and I am so happy to be working for Botter . For the next show..making accessories.
I am going completely crazy. It has to be finished soon. I love your videos. For 40 years I was a fashion teacher in an art school 8n Antwerpen. I worked in 2009 for Anne de Meulemeester her show. I was one of the first years of the fashion department of Antwerpen. Haha. Many years ago. Mary Prijot the founder of the fashion department, was my teacher in the '60/'70. I am happy that there is again something happening in the fashion world.
@@danielvonweinberger799 wow that’s fascinating! Send me a message on Instagram, I’d love to talk about your experience working and your time at the school 💫💫
Fashion is pretty pointless. I don't think its art. The only intent that was behind the "condom" is because they looked cool. Its not good enough of an intention for me to let it slide. For me art should be more thoughtful and contextual in its approach. Designers are aware that they are put in a position where only few of aspiring designers can reach and they can't implement something like this just because its "cool" but then again its enough for the world. The expectations that the world holds from art is not that of something that "moves something deep in people" but mere what can get the loudest edition. You can always say, " oh but it sells and thats good enough of a reason." For a product, yes probably but for the development of art. It is suicide
imo, i wouldn't say it's pointless, but I think that things like this proves ur point. High fashion seems super bourgeosie, rich and intelligent. and people will buy anything to look bourgeosie, rich and intelligent. i feel like the designer agrees that art can be meaningless and i think if we didnt have stupid shit like this come up every now and then in fashion, we would just all agree everything they put out is intelligent. When you're supposed to question it and judge it. Imo It's a necessary reminder not to become complacent with 'respected' designers and buy whatever tf they put out like condom hands. idk maybe im just pushing deeper meaning cuz I do still agree its way too overhyped, i dont understand the prices and half the time it looks boring or trashy, but ive never made clothes before.
@J ...then don't charge that much for things you plan to design, I guess? It's important to wonder if luxury brands are charging in proportion to their quality, but automatically writing off high prices without even considering what the number $600 might come from when broken down: Fabric (usually the most expensive, especially if ethically sourced or custom) + Notion Materials + Labor + Time (like what hourly wages do you think of paying if you employ other people? $18/hour plus benefits?) + The General Operational Costs of keeping the lights on and it sound ridiculous to say it doesn't make sense. I guess the best way to understand would be to just do it yourself and then come back so we can talk about value. You say you haven't actually done anything and it shows. Well constructed clothing is an *investment* to be kept and maintained for a very long time. Not the fast fashion standard of cheap, thin, polyester and/ or poor quality garbage that will fall apart fast and end up in a landfill.
I don't think they did it to "look cool", I think it was their attempt at bringing water to the runway the same as with the frozen accessories and shoes. Besides, you keep referring to fashion as "art" and insinuating that this is what fashion strives to be, and I do not think this is the case at all. Some of the greatest designers in the world actually hated having their clothing referred to as art. I think fashion is about expressing yourself and your ideas however you see fit and as long as you are doing this, who cares. I do agree with you that it is a bit frustrating when designers lack depth and create purely for the sake of generating a viral moment. However there are many, truly sincere sincere designers pouring their souls into what they do, and to categorise fashion in its entirety as being "pointless" because it does not satisfy your expectations of what it should be seems a bit unfair.
This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets. I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores, and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of “stuff.”
Bliss mentions the condoms were an attempt to bring an element of actual water onto the runway. Also, the latex material works well with all of their scuba references. I don't see any attempt to zhoosh them up as "art". Moreover, trying to define what art is and isn't is SOOOO tired. Would you say some student made still life painting is art? Just accept that anything can be art, most of which will inevitably fail to impact you personally.
Everyone in this video is so pretty. Makes me think I would never belong there, which makes it very elitist and stupid... which is sad, because fashion has grown on me these last t months, since I started to watch and follow this channel
it’s provocative & gets the people GOIN
Who was in Paris?
@@KlappKlo Kanye and Jay-Z
I'm sick and tired of art being provocative. It's such a tired concept!
most normal people dont even care that something like that exists
and what is provocative ? Walking trash bags or metal bdsm cages ? What is the point of clothes show where presented clothes cannot be even worn
..... "gets people goin" ? what ? what gets people goin ? Which people ?

Lots of different designers taking very direct inspiration from different painters. I love it!
Alphonse Maitrepierre has such an infectious enthusiastic personality, fr. Love when you feel the passion from the designer.
Florals are a thing because everyone loves them (well, okay, I do), plus there are so many variations. Why be scared of these motifs? (Not to mention the monet textile towards the end...that was deeply cool)
they're frightened of having Miranda Priestly quoted at them, that's why.
"Florals? For spring? _Groundbreaking."_ 🙄🙄
Predictability I think

Botter's clear mega shoes reminded me of back in middle school in NYC kids would protect their shoes with plastic bags from the rain.
This has nothing to do with the clothes but I love all the different accents!

google hoodie? yes, it is fabulous to have their backing but honestly.
heh I went ahead and watched the vaquera show on youtube with sound and it was filmed from an angle that I spotted Bliss instantly
do you have a tumblr? struggling to find a fashion community online
if you see people put care into what they wear you could say every day on Earth is fashion day.

wonderful to see so many newer designers! great reporting!

Now I understand why French hate Paris.
nah man this is just goofy. why can't we just show normal dresses.
"nah man this is just goofy. why can't we just draw normal realism"
More designer introductions 🙌🙌🙌
I feel sorry for what models have to go through when seeing some of this crazy stuff…
Meryll selfie was hot
I’ve had strangers come up and take away my phone when I’m taking pictures of friends. I’m observeably bad at taking pics lol 😆
I can’t help but notice how skinny all these models are :( unhealthy skinny
