Fashion designer, Charles James: genius, architect, sculptor, icon.
Can we put this series on demand on UA-cam or Amazon prime? Would really like to see more!
James was actually born in England, then moved to Chicago.
I still watch this video regularly, one of my favourite episodes of Vintage Bowles
Popped back in 2020 to re-watch. Vintage Bowles is what Vogue's UA-cam was made for
please please PLEASE continue this series! This video was amazing!
WHERE. IS. MORE. I love this so much and it's so great to hear about the history of fashion. I feel like I get a better appreciation and understanding just by watching this and Hamish is just the more fabulous man ever. LOVE. IT.
Who's buzzing for Phantom Thread?
0:46 I DESPERATELY NEED THAT OUTFIT
I might understand that during those days a designer would use the term fat as an insult, but apparently Mr Bowles believed a fat or overweight person cannot have "presence" enough to wear a gown... what a lovely chap
So beautiful 😍
Me tooo!!!!! the background of the designers is so fascinating!
I love the work of Charles James
Charles James was English- born, not American. He went to Harrow with Evelyn Waugh and Cecil Beaton and was expelled for a homosexual escapade, whatever that means! I don't think if he'd grown up in America his designs would have been so formal or structured. His father was at Sandhurst and his family in high society and without that background he likely wouldn't have had that same sense of social rank and class.
Allure
Fascinating and wonderfully informative, but I could listen to so much more.
Now I wanna see those drawings!
I need more of this! LOVED it!
We all want to see those drawings
Simply breathtakingly exquisite.
More please!
Love these series!
Ughhh what i would do for that pink dress!!!
Great episode, stunning designs.
Omg continue this!!!!!!
WE WANT MOOORE
More hamish Bowles please!!
HEY SISTERS
Lol yess
Very interesting. I have seen his dresses in exhibits and although they are beautiful in many respects, I am not sure why we should admire such stiff construction after decades of progress towards ease, softness and the natural body. But Halston, a designer of some of the most fluid clothing of our time, was a great fan of James's so there must be some link to explain the paradox. Hamish, could you elaborate?
***** Yes, I read in a Halston biography that the collaboration ended poorly. Two big tempers I bet.
***** I really find the color sense remarkable but I still struggle to admire the silhouettes and construction, meticulous as they were. I am not a fan of 50s fashions, especially Dior. I'll try to find the article you mentioned. Thank you.
***** Can you post that article online? I can't find it anywhere online.
***** Maybe it will be in the book that is being published for the exhibit at Metropolitan.
Hamish plus size woman can have presence and look good in evening gowns a perfect example is queen latifah
you lost me at queen latifah
So fabulous Hamish boy I'd love to have all his knowledge on fashion!
That must have been a very intricate sketches
Where do you buy patterns at antmore?

LOVE IT
Love it, this guy is brilliant.
this is just amazing !! thankyou vogue
🙏
i wonder if designers still look down on bigger body types like that hamish guy did.
Women come in all shapes and sizes, including 'fat frumps'. Doesn't take much skill to make a beautiful woman look good, you could put a bin bag on them and they would still look incredible. Obviously he couldn't design for real women.
TBH IM INSPIRED
Seems like Fortuny.
Women's living
A lot of offbeat geniuses come out of Chicago. What gives?
lol he has the same voice as eddie redmayne
His name backwards😂
He was english, not chicago-born.
More hamish bowlesss olds
IT'S NOT OK TO LAUGHT AT BIGGER SIZED WOMAN!!! NEVER!
I think (or hope) he was laughing at the designer, Charles James. What he said was that this designer was an appalling businessman, because he didn't want to design for the bigger woman. I interpreted the laugh as laughing at that ridiculous action. anyway, I agree with you that bigger women should be more respected, and less shamed, bij the fashion industry.
actually it is fat people are disgusting
@@tekgid433 The truly disgusting people are the ones who base a humans' worth and existence on their size and looks.
If you can't design for everyone are you even a skilled designer, not hard to put things on a stick 🤣🤣🤣
Hamish Bowles is unbearably irritating.
He is such a snob.
