I'd love to see more content like this! I really appreciate your fashion/aesthetic but it's very interesting to see your insight on fashion history. Thanks for some quality content not to mention nice editing and delivery! Lots of love from south korea❤
As someone who's favorite subject is history, and someone who loves fashion, i was immediately drawn to this LOL. I loved this video, the way you explained everything, your research and the visuals.
Lili!!! This was so thoughtfully and beautifully created. When you spoke about the post 9/11 fashion and the vulnerability the Muslim community felt in the US during that time, it brought tears to my eyes. Your generation is so healing. So unapologetic and so bent on seeking the truth. Adore this content. Keep going. Wishing you all the best!!!
Gorgeous Educational video. It is so important to be aware of this topic, especially in times like these. Once 2016 came around, I decided to dress “loudly” to show where my political voice stood. I haven’t stopped because there has not been a change worth stopping for; there is still a long way to go to be heard. Thank you for this video
Minor criticism in my other comment aside, I loved hearing about the relation between fashion and politics throughout those years! I’m not from the US so there’s a few things I wasn’t aware of. I’d be here for more long form content!
I’d love to see more content like this!!! Loved your perspective on how deliberate fashion is, how our choices are and always have been political. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
1 - nice thick sweater dawg 2 - Would 100% watch more history of fashion videos. Love going down a youtube rabbit hole on that subject. ...Not that i'm your target demographic. But uhh... there's my 2 cents anyway.
Can you make a tutorial on how to start making your own jewelry, accessories and the stuff you need to start etc. I love your diy tops and seashells accessories etc. Its not easy finding original amd affordable accessories all the time and it looks genuinely fun to make em so help a girlie out I love your energy and styleeee love u✨🌷🎀🎀🎀💎
this is my first vid from you and wow!!! I absolutely love history and fashion so this was right up my ally and u explain everything so well and so simply and just *chefs kiss* im gonna browse thru ur vids after this but would you ever be interested in making a video on the history of certain alternative subcultures maybe?? since a lot of them are rooted in left-wing politics and there's been a resurgence of those claiming goth or punk isn't meant to be political (even though it is). keep up the great work
Oh my gosh the zoot suits! That takes me back to American History class... I hope there will be a larger push towards sustainable fashions this decade. The Shein hauls aren't it.
Hey you forgot the red maga hat! Loved the video, thank you . Seems that most groups caught up in political friction weren't deliberately trying to dress politically but rather just to conform to and represent their people.. One of them days I didn't like as much it reminded me of the Friday movies which are better . I did recently see the Bob Dylan one and Amira which I both liked. Nosferatu is next
Yes, it's defined political, because it has always moved depending on the needle of what the people believe in of its artistic times it shows, if it's time when people tend to be money driven, conservative it shows, if people start thinking nationalistic it shows, if people define themselves as slackers, like my Generation (X), it shows... not only is it political, but like anything else in politics, fashion is used as any other object of our lives at the behest of whatever political feelings and inclinations we live at.
Beautiful video! Any thoughts on the blue bracelet trend worn for a stance of the election results? I've seen more negatives than positives with people calling it performative activism but I would really like to understand both perspectives
I don't think it should be, not everything has to be political because fashion is a form of expression and art of dressing. Imo making it political takes away what makes it appealing which is: a boost of confidence in what you wear and playing a part of yourself you can't express without a style,its kinda like wearing a "you" costume if that makes sense Before anyone starts arguing with me, pls keep in mind I said this literally before I watched the video, it's better to have an open mind than to jump into mindless conclusions and force a belief onto someone
thank you for your insight & sharing your opinion!! I agree that fashion is a form of artistic expression and a great way to showcase yourself. I don't think it should take away from what makes it appealing at all, and if purely aesthetics make it appealing then I say go for it! I just wanted to provide some historical context to popular fashion trends/ pieces
@@lilrotini If it came across as hostile trust me I had no intention to do so😇 ,I just hate how nowadays everything is politics this and that,I adore art and fashion and it’s because they provide an escape from realities of the world.
@@dididylanmichel am I not allowed to have opinions, I respect hers and if that's her way of thinking then that's fine I like how she provides a different perspective🤷♀️You also missed thae part where I said Imo which means in my opinion in case you don't know
Ppl don’t “make it political” it just is political. Art is political. Whether are not you’re informed enough to realize that what goes on politically correlates with how we express ourselves, the fact that everything is political still stands. There are moments where fashion choices are deliberately political, but there are a lot of choices we make that we don’t even realize are tied to current political realities. Clean girl aesthetic, wearing modest clothing, wearing clothing that is deemed more “sexy”, black women wearing Afros, ppl who mostly thrift, trends/aesthetics that are based around being masculine or feminine, Carhartt being a big part of streetwear fashion rn, and so many other ways we express ourselves are trickle downs from politics.
I adore this & u. Now give us a deeper dive into the 2000’s cuz there’s a lot to unpack there. And maybe some political fashion predictions given the current state of our country??🫠
20 mins? we're FEED
LOL it was supposed to be longer but the clips kept getting taken down 😢

this is really interesting the way fashion can truly tell stories and symbolise so many important details throughout history - love this!

Can you do a video series of how to dress like/the history of each decade please!💕
After reading the book Worn, I can’t look at clothing, fabric, manufacturing, trends, etc. the same!
thank you for spreading the real truth about Black American fashion history, new subscriber 🎉
Anyone else had trouble in the beginning keeping up due to how fast it goes at times? I had to lower the video speed a bit, which I never do on here.
Hey you forgot the red maga hat! Loved the video, thank you . Seems that most groups caught up in political friction weren't deliberately trying to dress politically but rather just to conform to and represent their people.. One of them days I didn't like as much it reminded me of the Friday movies which are better . I did recently see the Bob Dylan one and Amira which I both liked. Nosferatu is next
We definitely need an analysis on how the red cap is forever ruined by MAGA
Вот уж не думал, что любуясь заокеанской красоткой, я столько узнаю об истории Америки😂 спасибо, было на самом деле интересно.
lol I have a lot of non-americans that watch my UA-cam. thank you for watching!
Nice work!

Dope video !!!
@@doughboy44dd thank you!!
@@lilrotinigot ya fam!! Please make more like this need a part 2
Cool vid!
I saw this from TikTok !!
Very interesting. Not only beautiful, but also smart
maybe you're right, but fashion, like everything else, changes and develops
I have zero fashion sense.
Wow
Not that it matters but What ethnicity are you?
I don't think it should be, not everything has to be political because fashion is a form of expression and art of dressing.

i think you might of missed the part where lilrotini explained how everything is political and whether or not something is political is not a choice.
