Mina Le did a video about hats and basically said due to us being inside vehicles most of the time now, the functions of a hat (protection from weather) was no longer necessary. Plus they wouldn't fit well when sitting in a car if it was one of those huge frilly hats. And being more "casual" made it no longer a social norm to wear hats and appear uptight.
“While it might look like too many socks to own, it IS too many socks to own” felt , but my obsession is pleated skirts. The newer Sacai denim pleated midi skirt is calling my name right now😭 working at nordstrom is a blessing and a trap, I fear
I'm mexican japanese, it sad to see mexican fashion didnt push their own culture into fashion like japanese did with kimono and ukiyoe print. Seoul is basic af, LA is more of a clown show, Dubai look like a direct copy of lebanese designer and Copenhagen is for a fans of Balenciaga and Rick Owen..
I really don't know about fashion. But I know about geopolitics. Beware of places like Snaghai and Seoul. There is too much tension between world leading nations and the power nations in that area. These places are pawns in the chest of the US when it comes to their interest there. Once war is done, the US will drop them like tissue. Its a bet at the end of the day.
Have you thought of an episode devoted to shoes? How do they play into the overall concept? Am I seeing a trend in boxy, strappy boots and platform sandals? Or are the shoes selected for the outfits based on something my newby mind couldn't guess? Could you post the hat lady's link too please?
Personal identity in art: pick 1 thing. One dress. One shirt. One whatever- and make it over and over and over and over and over again. You will find your identity. Works with drawing or painting or any craft too.
Thanks Bliss for pointing out that if anyone wants to start a career in Fashion you HAVE to go to the cities you mentioned. I live in Miami and we are a Party City where Fashion Goods are consumed but as you mentioned many of the local Creatives struggle a lot in order to stay in business. Thank you and Daniella for all the great content you guys create and share with us all in your fantastic channel!
My only conspiracy theory involves using cotton looms to create linen fabric... they are two different fibers that need to be treated differently... the Egyptians could make 1 mm pin-tucks in their linen that survive to this day... darn you, Big Cotton, darn you. Gurrr. I can see hats making a comeback in summer for the UV protection. Sadly, I don't see a return of the 'hat girl' phenomenon. I completely understand the desire for a "good sock". My favorite are made with lambs wool. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I have - they last about 5 minutes though. Pro tip for quality socks - wear a thin pair of cotton socks UNDER the good socks they will last a lot longer. Here in Bulgaria a second-hand shop bought up the bankrupt stock from an Italian sock company so I have about 500 pairs of really really good quality knee length socks
I made a pair (crew-length) for my mom, from recycled cashmere, intending them to be bed/lounge socks. She wore them with shoes and they got huge holes in the heels almost immediately.
The other main purpose for hats in the past was to keep hair clean (and potentially to disguise dirty hair if baths were a little too far apart). Once shampoo is invented and running water is common, hats became less important for people who would like to look neat and respectable in their everyday. Now hats are basically differently shaped sun visors or protection from cold, so their use isn't important outside of specific weather patterns. Also Bliss is in a troll era and it's rather entertaining
I have one: I told my bf who works with Rick this years ago. I believe Rick Owens designed for Express back in the day. From the shapes, fabrics, and colors of the things I owned in the early 2000s was a lot of the same things.
Thanks so much for your videos! You really introduce me to a whole new medium of art in such a positive and approachable way. Something I'm struggling with as I'm thinking more critically about clothes is how to think about my body/shape and how to buy expensive clothes for myself without terrifying myself if I gain weight? How do I think of clothes fitting my body when I don't look anything like the very tall, very thin models on runways?
how do you "start" getting into fashion, I watch your videos sometimes and I think it's super cool but I know absolutely NOTHING and it's a little daunting getting into... like how do you find new designers, where do you look, etc, etc, a lot of this goes over my head sometimes lol
I think hats will take on a growing utility in our lives, I don’t know about indoors though. But sun protection is a must, it’s definitely becoming more at the forefront of peoples minds with skin care having a real moment. We need better looking hats on the market that are also useful
*START WEARING HATS PEOPLE* I swear when you do you wont go back...!!! Keeps your head warm in winter, coo in summer [insulation works both ways] the sun out of your eyes, it tops off your outfit - literally. It makes you stand out from the crowd, and people respect you more - seriously. Sew a mall 0 off a keyring to the back of the headband and have a shoe lace wiht a button on one and a loop on the other so if it gets windy you can link it to a button hole
@@sugarbenni HI - I make almost all m,y own - Im a semi-professional tailor of bespoke men's historical suits 1890-1940. Hats - especially paperboy and flat cap - are super easy to make. You could hand-sew one in 2 days. Tuba has a good video on hats as Bliss said.
I was so amazed with this ,,sock thing”. I guess in Poland they are kind of basic (wool ones) and you can basically buy them for 3$. They are definitely not the best present unless gifted by your grandma
You're the first person I know that wears socks knitted from thick yarn on a daily basics! I always wondered why people who loves to knit knit these thick socks, because to my mind you only need them when you cold I guess the "warminess" depends on a yarn and when made from cotton, they're pretty wearable But the visually big pattern always confused me anyways But you being the person who wears these sock daily makes me wonder if it is indeed suitable and maybe even comfortable to wear more often Thank you for widening my horizons 😅
My great grandmother (1903-1994) told me women never take their hat off indoors except at the theatre, cinema if going during the day. Ideally headwear should be adapted to the location. Men always remove all non religious or cultural (fez, yamulka etc) indoors. 11:41
A fellow sock lover... I have hundreds of socks because I collect vintage and antique socks as well as designer ones and they're so very organized and I feel like a freak but less of a freak now bc you're equally as excited about socks lol
bro, so bad, like coffee table books for my mom, "yeah mom that rick owens book is going to look sick in the coffee table, everyone will talk about it" then it is just academic research for me hahaha
OR you can buy a $34 skein of yarn and knit your own sock (one) for 2 weeks. but a skein gets you about 1 pair, eventually That plush feeling is not Woven, its knit and theyre called purl bumps on the inside of those socks.
I feel you with collecting a bunch socks cuz my sock collection is ridiculous I have to many 🤣🤣🤣💀 and I’m a hat person myself idgaf I wear my hats inside the house and I wore my favorite scub cap in 80° weather and ppl was around me was concerned 😭😭😭🤣🤣 but apart of it is me being anemic and getting cold easily
The weed birkins are very real! Lol! And a fashion job in miami is possible, but if you are fluent in Spanish. As lvmh/kering do base their south american corporate jobs there.
I think hats can still be fashionable if you wear a style that fits your personal style and the climate you live in. I live in the southwest and I see people wearing cowboy hats fedoras, trucker hats and wide brim fedoras all the time. If you like something, just wear it!
Actually you can be a remote pattern maker for larger companies. Is it high fashion all the time? Not really but you would be in the industry some way. My professor did the cad software testing from her home in Jersey and only went into the office(NY) for revisions.
ERD isn’t real? so you mean i’ll never get the pieces i’ve been wanting from the runway for the past 3 seasons..? I had been wondering why I never see them available for purchase and always thought I was too early/too late
I recently learned that they do release most of those items, but they are very quiet about it. So it likely won’t drop on the website. My best advice would be to reach out to a stockist or reach out to the brand itself right after runway show happens to identify which piece you want and how to get it. Get ready to pay for it tho. the runway pieces, especially, are extremely expensive.
@@BlissFoster thank you!!! appreciate all the insight. Happy to hear there’s at least a chance, even if it’s slim. Also, loved your exclusive interview with Henri!
A really good conspiracy theory would’ve been just a regular old thing that people have actually proven. which is that during periods of high political stress, women’s heels tend to go higher.. and during periods of low economic stress, the heels go lower. Tons of studies have proven it over the last 100 years. The theory is that it’s more of a confidence thing when there’s trouble in the water you want to wear something that makes you feel confident and heels make a lot of women feel confident.
I guess it depends on if you mean Fashion with a capital F or the world of clothes and garments, but I wouldn't 100% discount LA. The los angeles fashion district (and associated small industrial cities just south of it) is one of the few (2?) remaining garment manufacturing hubs in the United States. And, as industrial competitiveness declines, a lot of that has shifted to a focus on protoyping and innovation work bc it is one of the few places where designers, cutters, etc can still be literally next door to their manufacturers and suppliers. A little agglomeration economy at work, and I hope to god it survives. For example, at Row DTLA there is a Revolve office, a Nike design and prototyping facility, and a Conde Nast location all in the same campus. And these are businesses that are coming in rather than out. Still probably better off picking one of the other cities if you have the option though ;)
the 4 big cities is New York, Los Angeles, Illinois, and Houston.... Miami? no besides New York, and Illinois... what do you think of Los Angeles or Houston for fashion?
I wear hats 🧢 all the time haha! I enjoy the opportunity to incorporate a hat into an outfit/aesthetic! Being a man I think hats give another opportunity to accessorize!
That’s a great question! Besides the fact that we can only afford to cover one fashion week per season, we already have great connections in Paris that allow us to get the access we get. I’m sure that, from the outside, it seems like we just walk into these shows, but every single runway takes a lot of work to get access to. Don’t worry :) we fully intend to cover more 🦾
Bliss, would love to know your thoughts re. the Saint Laurent/Lagerfeld beef. Would it be wrong to see Yves' work as focused on silhouette and Karl's as a reworking of iconography; a modernist vs. a postmodernist? (Or is it bitchier and funnier than this?)
If you live in a secondary city you can try to influence local fashion. It will probably be dumb. You're essentially running a local shop that you are trying to get people to identify with the city. Utah would be a good choice. You just need to sell fashion for Mormons and develop connections with the local church leadership to encourage your beautiful but socially regressive clothing. Business fuels the world though. If you can start a second store somewhere else and both can be successful enough to start a third slightly faster, you're on your way. Keep an eye on imaging and your unique selling point and you could eventually intrude on New York fashion. Success is perceived as skill so once you were established you could do whatever stupid thing you wanted. Like showing meat shirts and giant swan dresses secretly designed for Lady Gaga. The problem is that you need to be able to make something distinctive and marketable enough to succeed locally and actually scale that up over time. You'd be looking at a 20 year minimum career path, and then only if you genuinely had the skills to make it work. It's probably more reasonable than just going to New York without connections in the industry and trying to break in through excessive hard work and ass kissing alone. But if you have even one connection, New York would be easier. Just buy a camper van to park random places and a shotgun for when people try to steal your catalytic converter - it's still cheaper then renting.
i thought the hairspray culture destroyed hats😂 also london is more expensive so yeah, it's fine to not go there. and y'all let's liberate ourselves from the tyrrany of empire even with fashion 🤗 happy with just paris tbh 💟💙
BIG DISAGREE that you won’t find opportunities outside the major fashion city hubs!! there are actually a lot of fashion companies although they are more of the fast fashion type corporation (yk Nike, American Eagle, express etc) headquarters/offices that are in secondary cities like, Pittsburgh, PA (American Eagle), Beaverton, OR(Nike), Columbus, OH (Express, Victoria Secret), Portland, OR(Adidas), Philadelphia, PA (Free People & Urban outfitters) & probably more. although LA isn’t secondary but Guess , Forever 21 & more etc are there Sooo ya??? & In my opinion if you want a stable income with benefits & u aren’t from a rich family & in a position to just shoot off to NYC or London you are much better off trying to find a job & gain experience at those type of corporations anyways & transition to more competitive / luxury companies lol. m
I dont agree with your point that you have to be in a 'Fashion Capital' to have a career in fashion. A "Reasonable Career" can also be in Fashion Retail. I Interned at a small Fashion Designer in Berlin and that was run by two people, and while they dont show at any Fashion Weeks, they are still Successful to the point that they can live really well off of it. They have a consistent Customerbase that respect them well. You may not be able to have a career at a Major Fashion Brand, but Fashion is a Global Phenomenom, nobody can live without Clothes, therefore you can have a Career in Fashion pretty much everywhere.
Appreciate your videos. Please, in addition to the "lead" of the video, you add "Q&A" because a lot of these lately have been answering other people's questions ...

Yes, the RED SHOES!
I do the same as you, I give the link to my family and friends to buy me presents but instead of socks I demand Tom Ford sunglasses.

I have - they last about 5 minutes though. Pro tip for quality socks - wear a thin pair of cotton socks UNDER the good socks they will last a lot longer.

BIG DISAGREE that you won’t find opportunities outside the major fashion city hubs!!
there are actually a lot of fashion companies although they are more of the fast fashion type corporation (yk Nike, American Eagle, express etc) headquarters/offices that are in secondary cities like, Pittsburgh, PA (American Eagle), Beaverton, OR(Nike), Columbus, OH (Express, Victoria Secret), Portland, OR(Adidas), Philadelphia, PA (Free People & Urban outfitters) & probably more. although LA isn’t secondary but Guess , Forever 21 & more etc are there Sooo ya???
& In my opinion if you want a stable income with benefits & u aren’t from a rich family & in a position to just shoot off to NYC or London you are much better off trying to find a job & gain experience at those type of corporations anyways & transition to more competitive / luxury companies lol. m
I dont agree with your point that you have to be in a 'Fashion Capital' to have a career in fashion. A "Reasonable Career" can also be in Fashion Retail.
I Interned at a small Fashion Designer in Berlin and that was run by two people, and while they dont show at any Fashion Weeks, they are still Successful to the point that they can live really well off of it. They have a consistent Customerbase that respect them well.
You may not be able to have a career at a Major Fashion Brand, but Fashion is a Global Phenomenom, nobody can live without Clothes, therefore you can have a Career in Fashion pretty much everywhere.

Appreciate your videos. Please, in addition to the "lead" of the video, you add "Q&A" because a lot of these lately have been answering other people's questions ...
