It must have been so scary for those models to wear those original pieces in the movies...I’d be terrified to even touch them. It was interesting to hear how they were protected. And I adore Raissa’s videos on historical accuracy in movies!
She said Versace with a short e (eh) sound at the end correctly. In Italian, a long “E” (ee) sound is often made with the letter “i” and vowel sounds are more consistent in Italian (vs. other languages where e could be used for eh or ee). If an ee sound was wanted you’d use i-like Gianni.
love seeing raissa! she clearly is passionate about her career, and her explanations are always so easy to follow along to :'-) please bring her back for more videos!!
I highly recommend watching the BBC series A Stitch in Time with Amber Butchart. She and Ninya (a historical seamstress) are amazing. The series is fantastic!
@@lillyevans5824 Amber Butchart would have been better. Watch the BBC series A Stitch in Time. It's a fantastic series. The episode of the hedgecutter and the Foundling Museum is absolutely heartbreaking
I'm not into fashion nor am I very knowledgeable about it, but I saw a video of her analyzing disney fashion realism a few years ago and I LOVE her! She is so great at making a topic with such a rich history and complexity so accessible!
I liked watching Raissa Bretana, well done for choosing her to present this video. Classic and Contemporary, she marries both worlds in her wardrobe and easy to listen to, she is the definition of easy listening.
They're shorts, just a really loose leg style. It was perfectly acceptable for specific things like physical sports and swimming to have something so revealing. You can see the gathered part in the middle where the seams are for the crotch/leg.
Right, these aren’t every day wear- there was no “athlesiure” back then so they wouldn’t wear these to go to the grocery store or running errands. Outfits were for specific activities. For example, it would be frowned upon to wear your house dress to church. People still believed in dressing up.
ould you imagine being a model today and getting the opportunity to wear the original Yves Saint Laurent or Coco Chanel collection? My heart could never
Raissa rules! Please bring her back! Would to hear her talk about McQueen and his influence and his crazy runway shows...Vivienne Westwood and punk...music influences on fashion in general over the years would make a great video.
I can't believe 'What A Way To Go!', wasn't featured in this!!! That fantasy song sequence in which Shirley Maclaine changed 15 STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS Edith Head costumes during 5.2 minutes.... it's definitely more iconic than most of the movies featured here!!
I may be the last person to be interested in the fashion industry, but I really find it interesting how Coco Chanel was the backbone for most of the styles of women's outfits. Personally, I like the simplicity of her designs and although I am not -- and probably will not be -- wearing one, I think the timelessness of her pieces will survive for another hundred years or so. P.S. I also found the "lineages" fascinating Balenciaga - Givenchy, Dior - Saint Laurent. 's nice.
I’ve never been interested in fashion history but this was brilliant. Also this lady is so informative and completely stunning, of course. I bet she has an amazing wardrobe haha.
I've never seen any videos with Raissa before, but I can see by other comments that there must be more. She's really good for this sort of thing, and I'll have to check out more of them. I'm not the most trendy of people, but I do love clothes and have way too many. haha I love learning about sewing and fashion and hearing people talk about these things, especially historically and in videos like this.
You know, I had NO idea that fashion designers were adding surrealist elements to clothing...and knowing that has made fashion so much more interesting to me.
Raissa: I have a sort of Historical Fashion question that's been bothering ever since I heard an old Irish song titled "Mountains of Mourne". In the second verse he is writing a reply to his girlfriend about how women in London were dressed and he comments that "they don't wear no tops to their dresses at all" and "You could not tell if they bound for a ball or a bath". Now I'm pretty sure these women were not "topless" in our sense of understanding of being bare breasted so all I can think of is that they were showing some cleavage or some skin. Won't you please clear this up, thank you.
Perhaps rather than straps or bodices over the shoulders, it may have been dropped shoulder or sleeveless entirely. So “no tops”. As if the bodice was cut off at the top. The 1850s is when that song came about; and it was rather daring for dropped shoulders in ball gowns. While 1830/1840s did have lower shoulders for ball gowns, it did get lower and the shoulders were more decorative rather than useful in structure for the bodice.
Y'all should bring in Riley Kucheran to critique portrayals of Indigenous fashion in film & TV! If he's interested of course. He has an ep on the excellent podcast Ologies if anyone is interested in learning more Immediately edited to add: Raissa is excellent!! Always love seeing her in videos
Ohhh I wonder if she'll review *"Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Paris"* next?? I thought it was interesting back then that an entire telemovie was dedicated to one woman's pursuit of going to a fashion show and dreaming about owning a Dior dress. 😍👗
She said "swan song" in reference to Adrian opening a couture house?? I think she mixed up phrases or somthing bc that means "last performance before retiring"
I think she meant it as a way of saying that Adrian was saying goodbye to Hollywood costume design before becoming a dedicated fashion designer with his own house.
It must have been so scary for those models to wear those original pieces in the movies...I’d be terrified to even touch them. It was interesting to hear how they were protected. And I adore Raissa’s videos on historical accuracy in movies!
I'd be so stressed that I'd sweat onto them 😬
@@thaylamay3531 that’s why the models were wearing special underwear
Movies have insurance for those kind of things.
@@FramesPerSecond the insurance in these cases would have been astronomical!
I think they were more stressed by their acting gig in a big movie. Those young models probably know nothing more than the name of the brand :P
she looks just like i would expect a fashion historian to look like
600th like
She is amazing but a fashion historian would pronunce VersacE properly.
@@n3493 you could see the stress in her face, she was 100% asked to pronounce it that way
She said Versace with a short e (eh) sound at the end correctly. In Italian, a long “E” (ee) sound is often made with the letter “i” and vowel sounds are more consistent in Italian (vs. other languages where e could be used for eh or ee). If an ee sound was wanted you’d use i-like Gianni.

She’s my professor!!! Such a wonderful woman.
@@stefaniacasas8063 That's awesome, she's so great in this video. I'm disappointed with my wardrobe after watching this 😅
I highly recommend watching the BBC series A Stitch in Time with Amber Butchart. She and Ninya (a historical seamstress) are amazing. The series is fantastic!
@@stefaniacasas8063 omg please let me know how to get a spot in her class. they are always full and it’s my dream class to take
Yes, please!!! This was a great video!
YAAAAAAS Raissa!! ✨
I love all the crossover of this historical fashion cinematic universe
yessss fashion historians supporting eachotherrr
2 of my fave fashion historians! I love seeing women supporting women. You guys rock. - proud subscriber of you both
They’re probably actually jealous of each other lol!
@@lillyevans5824 Amber Butchart would have been better. Watch the BBC series A Stitch in Time. It's a fantastic series. The episode of the hedgecutter and the Foundling Museum is absolutely heartbreaking
I’d love to see this as a series or making her own channel talking about the history of fashion
You may like Mina Le's channel if you haven't watched it
Same. I would follow her in second!
Please bring her back for more videos!
Yay. Fashion Historian not fashion expert. I like that the title gives the credentials most fashion historians prefer!!
The fashion in Funny Face literally gives me chills, it is so incredibly beautiful.
I'm not into fashion nor am I very knowledgeable about it, but I saw a video of her analyzing disney fashion realism a few years ago and I LOVE her! She is so great at making a topic with such a rich history and complexity so accessible!
Omg i want to see that now
Loved this video but the title is misleading. She's not fact-checking so much as analyzing/breaking down these films.
Exactly what I thought
She usually does fact checking however
I liked watching Raissa Bretana, well done for choosing her to present this video. Classic and Contemporary, she marries both worlds in her wardrobe and easy to listen to, she is the definition of easy listening.
I love her! And this video could be made into a full movie. I’d love to see more of the different fashion houses and their histories.
I’m kind of shook how short those skirts\skirts were in the Women 1939 but I actually really liked them even as something to wear today

I'd be interested in her thoughts on 'Phantom Thread'.
I thought the same thing!
@@tarrahhale3364 It kind of seemed like an obvious choice, but... :)
This one has been my favorite technique critique so far!! Please bring her back for more!
ould you imagine being a model today and getting the opportunity to wear the original Yves Saint Laurent or Coco Chanel collection? My heart could never
Raissa is so knowledgeable and passionate about fashion! It's a delight to hear her describe everything
I'd love to see her in a how-it's-made style video regarding the creation/techniques and background of avant garde pieces throughout history!
I would like to see an analysis of downton abbey. That would be pretty great.
She did a really good job explaining! Very clearly and nicely not snobby or know it all
Raissa rules! Please bring her back! Would to hear her talk about McQueen and his influence and his crazy runway shows...Vivienne Westwood and punk...music influences on fashion in general over the years would make a great video.

Always such a pleasure to hear Raissa talk about Fashion in Film!!!
This was great! I'd love to see her analysis of good and not-so-good costuming choices in period pieces.
I may be the last person to be interested in the fashion industry, but I really find it interesting how Coco Chanel was the backbone for most of the styles of women's outfits. Personally, I like the simplicity of her designs and although I am not -- and probably will not be -- wearing one, I think the timelessness of her pieces will survive for another hundred years or so.

I could have watched this for another 2 hours non stop this was soo good!
I could watch hours of this. I hope one day Raissa does a Masterclass
I’ve never been interested in fashion history but this was brilliant. Also this lady is so informative and completely stunning, of course. I bet she has an amazing wardrobe haha.
Your love for fashion is so refreshing.
I could watch her discuss fashion history and film for hours
Love this lady! She definitely has to come back for another video.
Please make a video of Maria Callas style in and out of the stage.😍
The customs of Medea are amazing and it probably will be a tough topic to discuss.
I always wondered why chanel models are so young and many of there styles I have seen on women who are mature in the age range of 50's and up
I need Karolyn’s Zebrowska to have this job next time. The fashion history queen
I've never seen any videos with Raissa before, but I can see by other comments that there must be more. She's really good for this sort of thing, and I'll have to check out more of them.

Please, make a part II
Please do

with this Historian it’s one of my favourite movies
Love this lady, please bring her back for more video!
the kind of history lesson I craved for when I was in school
God i love movies about designers or movies that glorify fashion, please we need more videos like this
This is so good!!! Sabrina and The Women are two of my all time favorites ❤️

I loveeeeeeee Raissa’s videos, I always learn something ♥️
Raissa, I love you, but it's said VersacEH!!! Come on!
Awesome!! Raissa rocks!! Well presented, excellent delivery!
Fashion historian?!?! Whyyyy did I not go into this field.
wow, the glow decor element in "The Women" movie reminded mi immediately of Dior Jador'e perfume bottle !!! Great video!!! Thank you
This is a subject I've never thought about, but find very interesting.
I love these videos! Great to see an expert who really knows what she’s talking about ✨
Such interesting insights 👏🏻
Can you do a fact check of the vampire dairies? They have many scenes where they flash back into the past
What poetic justice given that Chanel is now owned by a Jewish family.
I need to know where she got that shirt! I love it!
This was very educational! Cheers
the dress donatella versace wore will forever be my favorite
I loved this video! Wow so amazing to see the development of fashion.
Loved the video! Can you also fact-check the costumes in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? That would be awesome!
She did one on Glamour’s YT channel, along with other shows and movies.
Love the parts you picted out👍🏻
Loved this so much! Fascinating! 😍😍
Superb! Totally enjoyable
Donatella's bondage dress is something you'd see worn today.
very interesting & fun to watch ❤️
I wish that she would do "Auntie Mame" soometime. It's a wonderful movie with wonderful clothes and a wonderful aesthetic.
You know, I had NO idea that fashion designers were adding surrealist elements to clothing...and knowing that has made fashion so much more interesting to me.
There is nothing more elegant than the "severed hand" look to make a jacket. Pure camp.
She's so well spoken. 👂
Interesting! Informative!
Wowow Raissa looks stunning with more natural eyebrows ❤

the best professor ever

Such a fun informative video♡ thanks vf
I really,truly enjoyed watching that! 😇
Wow this was amazing and very informative!!!!
I really loved this!!!! Thank u
donatella actually wore that dress to the 1992 Met Gala, not the Vogue’s 100th celebration party! :)
I could listening to Raissa talk about clothes all freaking day
I love Raissa!!!
I like the way she talks .
She's adorable 😍
She’s a great teacher! Cool video 😄
She said "swan song" in reference to Adrian opening a couture house?? I think she mixed up phrases or somthing bc that means "last performance before retiring"
I think she meant it as a way of saying that Adrian was saying goodbye to Hollywood costume design before becoming a dedicated fashion designer with his own house.
Love this!!!! This is great!!
Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. Loved the host lady's look.
Very interesting and educational video!
