Maybe this isn't where your interests lie but honestly I would absolutely recommend you get into sewing and creating your own items. When you are into diverse, niche clothing, especially when it belongs to styles or subclutures form the past like you are, it can be the only way to have clothing that fits your own personal style.
Honestly it can be a bit daunting when you're first starting out but getting thrifted items and taking them apart/ making them into something new can be a great place to start and helps you understand how garments are put together. There are also a huge amount of sewing tutorials and stuff on UA-cam and elsewhere online. From there you can pick items from your pinterest that you love but could never afford or find in person as inspiration and create something similar. Plus it helps you have a wardrobe that is truly unique and tailored to you!
Yesss I tried sewing one time and immediately gave up lol 😆 I've done just about every craft but for some reason the textile crafts are so intimating to me (crocheting, knitting, sewing... u get it, anything with a stich will confuse me) BUT you are so right!! I truly value unique items and I feel like if I put my mind to it I can definitely do it!! Reading your comment gave me the strength lol 😆 I'll prob make a video about it in the future, thank you so much 💗🫶
came back to say... i have been wearing whatever i like, expressing myself through fashion and seeing it as art, for at least 10 years now. i am used to weird stares atp. and honestly i discover something new everyday! with the "trend" of finding your style/aesthetic, i realized even more... i dont fit in a box. i just wanna do what i like! and honestly you, your style and your channel resonate with me so much, it actually have been inspiring me to embrace this side. it's clear that you also just go for what you like, and i think its beautiful !!
ur gonna make me cry fr 🥺so glad that you can relate to me because I can def relate to everything you said! I love how fashion can communicate so much without even saying anything it really is beautiful!! so thankful you found my channel
fashion as a language, just like art 🫶 i think we see it the same way!!! super happy i found you around here, your channel, it just makes sense to me!!! ❤️❤️❤️
heavy on the kpop part- seeing the same friends who would tease me for liking it being bigger fans than me now is crazy. I've become more of a casual listener too- it was already a saturated and artificial market but i feel like 4th/5th gen has taken it to another level. stylistically i honestly don't think anyone is doing it better than aespa. i would pay an arm and a leg for their cd player and their supernova concept outfits were soooooooo pretty and intergalatic i loved it. cop copine is so cute - i really admire their graphic pieces even tho it's something i wouldn't wear myself, they also do a rlly nice job with their more casual pieces (too pricey for me tho loll). really love ur video essay style uploads, u have a very coherent way of talking that's easy to listen to
omg yesss as a cd collector I literally gasped when I saw it but shes a little pricey 🤕 i totally agree with everything u said!! thank u so much for watching im so glad u enjoyed :D
@@flowlotl shame its only available in sk too, maybe one day….! yww will be tuned for the next upload and many more after tht
omg totally agree about aespa’s style, sometimes their music doesn’t hit the mark for me but their concept will always be IT
@@courtneylust and theyve stuck with it since debut- unlike other companies who hop on trends 24/7
The punk scene in London and Vivienne Westwood's fashion design emerged simultaneously and alongside - punk started being a thing in the 70s, not before. Also some of the first punk rock personas bought stuff in her shop.
This is true, however she is also correct that Vivienne's first proper fashion show was the post-punk pirate themed show. It shows that Vivenne Westwood was at the forefront of modern fashion at the time and instrumental in evolving with it.
I think what's next in fashion is more global marketing of quality, yet affordable clothing shops, which have those unique designs that get copied and mass-produced. The reason why so many fashion kids end up buying trash quality stuff from the mall is because we don't know where else to find the unique creative piece we want to express ourselves with. One of my goals in the future, as a fashion business major, is to make a strategy for these unique brands to stand out and be easily found by fashion enthusiasts. Yes, maybe some will become "mainstream" but from consumers stand point, it will be quality of life experience - to find easily the pieces for your personalised wardrobe.
Omg I love this!!! Everytime I go to the mall I'm always underwhelmed with the shops and the lack of diversity -- maybe it's just because I live in a more suburban-less-trendy area but I'd much rather go thrifting bc at least ill have more luck finding something unique. Fast fashion has def ruined the whole specialty and excitement of mall culture!! I feel like something has to eventually change about it and it makes me so happy that people like you feel a passion towards it 🫶 thank u for sharing ur perspective I enjoyed reading it lol ☺️
i have a pair of crocs that i loveeee sm. i bought a bunch of plain jibbitz(?) so that i can glue anything i want onto them!!
also abt diy-ing stuff that look diy-able, it must be one of my fav things in the world... not only its cheaper but also super fun, you can add your own touch and the whole process is somehow artistic and therapeutic to me. when i think that nothing in the world belongs to me, i remind myself that my art does. and more than my art, the time and the effort i put onto making something is all mine. that is 100 times more special than just buying something i liked
ugh ur comment is so beautiful😩 also the crocs craft I'm def gonna have to do one day
Omg queen your makeup ate so hard!!! I love your videos so much
AHHH IM GONNA CRY Thank you so much 🥹💓
DUDE!!! When you started talking about FRUiTs magazine I got *so* excited. It's one of my favourite fashion styles of all time and I never hear people talk about it. So cool.
Monica can i just say that i love the way you explain/talk through things! i really relate to everything you said here about personal style and you have some great references :)) i think its difficult recently to find your own style or pieces you like when there are so many categories and "cores", but ive recently been trying to embrace the clashing interests i have and i think fashion can be so much more fun when you dont try to cater your tastes to explicitly following or avoiding certain trends, like you said here. and i loved hearing you mention fruits magazine as it does feel like one of the very genuine and fun outlets for creative fashion. personally i have been getting into diys with eyelets, safety pins, chains etc and its such a fun process to experiment with. id also recommend the brand desigual if you dont know them, as i recently thrifted a skirt by them and it feels sorts of similar to the energy of cop copine to me. sorry this is long but great video and i hope you have a good week
yaaay so happy you liked!! sometimes I get insecure on if what I'm talking about in my vids is interesting enough so you have no idea how much I appreciate ur comment -- it reassures me so much and im so thankful that you took the time to write it! Also I checked out that brand you recommended on depop and tell me why I already have something in my cart 😬 lol
I was literally looking at that grommet headband yesterday!!
TY TY TY so much for this vid!❤️! You give me so much fashion inspo, your creativity has so much depth, I feel like you give me permission, a lotta times I'll think, "nah, that's too far out, I can't do that" and you give me permission, "If Monica can do what is most authentically her, I can do what nobody else does, but is authentically me". I'm not Coquette, but I like the whimsy, the combo innocent/sexy vibe, the blush versions of colors, and incorporate that into my own look which is def not Coquette. You give me "permission" to go outside the rules. ty ty ty, you are such a creative inspiration, keep doing what you do!! Create with reckless abandon!!❤❤!
Yay so glad to have inspired you just the same your comments do for me!! I think if I saw you in the streets I would appreciate your style because I know you have it!! 💗🩷🩷🩷
Your intro was so perfectly said and respectful of others. I feel the same and like the way you’ve embraced it ❤
YES PLS! MAKE A PART TWO❤
i love the way you talk about fashion !
This video is so incredibly perfect to me, please make a part 2 whenever you can ! You explain your opinions and interests so freaking well
Yaaaay I def will in the future!! Thank you so much! 💗🫶
Love ur style and content! Keep shining monica ❣
btw i relate so much to your pov of fashion and personal style, and i'm also big aespa fan
9:31 I don’t think Galliano was pulling from Vivienne Westwood-rather, they pulled from the same inspirations and subcultures. This is my first time watching a video of yours and you’re very fun and interesting! :))
I agree! I probably should've clarified that viv didn't start the new romanticism movement but she was definitely a prominent figure during it so thank you for pointing it out!! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
your videos are my new fav part of the week. 🫶🏿🫶🏿
That makes me so happy thank you 🥹💗🩷🩷🩷🩷

i love this!! i love the way you analyze fashion, your passion for it literally permeates through the screen and it’s beautiful to watch 🫶 i would love a part II, or have you considered doing monthly favourites (media, fashion, food, etc.)? that would be super interesting too!! 🖤🪷
Good idea! She notices things others don't
Omggg if it's something you'd be interested in I'd for sure do a monthy favs!! I always get nervous that I'm talking too much about myself but then I realize that it's literally my own youtube channel lmao 😅 thank you so much for watching me yap 🩷🩷

Yaaay so happy you got something from the vid!! Thank u for watching 🩷🫶
i love so much of what you said! great video
agree with your thiughts on kpop completely - my friends and i used to be really into it and we were a free target to be made fun of because of that and now i still listen sometimes, mostly to older music, but my favourite groups disbanded or had genres i didn't like but i still carry a lot of shame around listening to it
Yessss omg i literally used to be a closet kpop fan 😭 but I've made a lot of friendships with people who also enjoy kpop so I feel like it's made up for it too lol
you look so cool!
we are literally the same person? i thought i was watching a video of myself, no joke! we share the same likings and i think you’re cool. im definitely watching more of your videos ❤️🔥
YIPPPIE THANK YOU SO MUCH ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
i luuuuv all of your styles, i'm trans so i'm just figuring out what i like in masc styles, the way i would describe it rn is those fruits magazines but masculine and with way darker colors, i hope i can find some magazines like that!!
Also you might like Steampunk, it has alot of 3d's , honestly i'm planing for years and years, to find and make some Steampunk references, but is quite hard.
Victorian lines ❤❤❤🫠
@@pliktl Yesssss
Dude this look is so hot :o love your takes, so deep and creative🤍
THANK U ILY 🩷🩷🩷🌸😩
oooh the Blitz Kidz was the first fashion movement I got into when I started listening to music on my own, at 14/15. they're so fucking cool. if you haven't already I suggest you watch Taboo, it's a musical written and produced by Boy George (in the musical he interprets Leigh Bowery) , the singer of Culture Club, and centers around his life. It goes from the punk movement to the birth of the New Wave and Soho scene in London, it's really good :)
and ik you said you're a casual listener now but if I can suggest some good kpop concepts :p TXT are actually insane:
★Freeze World ver. (cs you like ruffles hehe)
★Temptation Nightmare ver. (Daydream too cs it's iconic)
★Freefall Gravity ver.
★Tomorrow Ethereal ver.
★Fight or Escape Escape ver.
★Thursday's Child Hate ver.
★Magic Arcadia ver.
★esquire, GQ, Dazed, dream week 2023
★Weverse Magazine Freefall
watch the concept clips too >:]
ooh and some mvs too :D
★Deja Vu
★Nap of a Star
★Tomorrow concept trailer (trust me, it's a cinematic masterpiece)
★Magic concept trailer
★Blue Orangeade dream week
★Sugar Rush Ride japanese version
★0x1= LOVESONG japanese ver.
★Magic Island
★Run Away
★Can't you see me
Omg this is so awesome!! Screenshotting it so I never lose this comment, I'll let you know which are my favorites!! and I'll def check out that musical, I remember reading that alexander mcqueen was inspired by leigh bowery for his fall 2009 collection, it's crazy how many connections there are!! Thank you so much for taking the time to reccomened me your stuff
@@flowlotl you're welcome!!! I recently found your channel and I love it smiwbsiwbdk I'm trying to catch up on content
Just found your chanel ,and i'm Jelous your content is more normal than mine and better quality, unlike my unhinged content xD But leaving that aside ,i love the 3D touch on clothes too, i actualy tried to make a bedezled suit, where i hand sew rhynestone, i kinda make two chaotic episodeds and is how i started this chanel, but didn't finished it yet, but trying to finish it. You should try to sew on your clothes too, is hard at first, but you can do it ,you could custom some leather jackets with the gold/silver spikes or that, is something i'm planing to do , but in time. I love the way you explained you don't follow trends, but follow what you like ,is what i did too,even if it make peoples dislike me ,because i don't go with their likes, but mines.
just subbed to your channel!! I've always been so scared to sew but I really want to learn how to do it and customize my own stuff! maybe ill make a video trying it lol
@@flowlotl Thankss! Sub only if you enjoy 🤎🤍🦁. Do you have insta or discord ? I can show you how i sew. I am new to it but i know the basic of how to sew something to the clothes. You could get this Yt idea from me. You could buy some plastic skeleton bones amd make a hole in them and then sew them to a shirt... who know is maybe good content i think. Plus you will have something you like.. i still need to finish my suit lol. But life was lifing me lately.. so i focused on shorts and 1 time a mont vid. Also i think you will blow up very fast your content is chill to watch and the audio is good. 🦁🤠 i hope you try to make the bone shirt kinda made me intrigue Lol.
I love your style💓💓 it’s unique I don’t have a style either I just like what I like one day k look like a rockstar next day I look like a Barbie lol but its vary unique and I slay each time … love the necklace its 🔥
What eyeshadow are you wearing? It’s gorgeous!
This is a really good video I wish I could discuss this with my friends in the way that you have (they don’t really care about this)
trust me I get that!! youtube is my creativity outlet fr without it id go insane without it
sorry i just clicked on this video and just wanted to say that you are absolutely stunning
Aaaah you're so sweet thank you 🥹
Omggg are you wearing the “can’t touch this” top that Gwen Stefani wears in the no doubt bath water music video?! :0
OMGOMG YESSS I literally love you for recognizing it!! Lol I got it off depop, it's not the same exact one she wears but I just still had to get it 🤭
@@flowlotl ahhh that’s so cool!!! I love it! Such a cool find! I’ve always wanted to come across this top and wondered what brand it is!
@melissaperez6805 the one I have is from what I assume is a vintage brand called "bella" lol it's such a ambiguous name! so it was just pure luck that I came across it 😩 I wish I could just shop through Gwen's closet during the 90s and 2000s it'd be a dream
yo if you mix and match stuff what you like its called urban style :3
THANK YOU!!!
❤❤

Omg! Are you wearing a Can’t Touch This shirt?
Indeed 🤭
@@flowlotl 😏iykyk
Hi!! I really enjoy your videos. Would you be down to do a qanda? Also what’s your ethnicity? My best friend and you look really similar
Omg yess eventually I would love to dedicate a whole video to one!! I'm pretty much a mix of everything 50% hispanic, 25% iraqi, 25% french canadian but honestly I need to take a DNA test lol
can we collab
What is this regurgitating old stuff ?
woah you look just like my ex bsf lol
LMAO I'm sorry 😅
I kind of understand what you mean about aesthetics not being personal, but I find your logic kind of contradicting. Wanting to look as weird and unconventional as possible isn't necessarily authentic either, it also becomes a show very quickly.
I definitely see where your coming from!! I agree with you that fashion isn't something very authentic because personal style is shaped by your environment, people around you, how you grew up.. ect there's so many external factors that go into who we are and what we choose to wear. Essentially there's almost nothing personal about personal style.
However I don't think it's a ingenuine thing to strive for a unconventional style as long as it's something you truley desire. When I think of unconventional, I think of lady gaga, maison margiela, alexander mcqueen, and many other designers and figures. I think it's all about intention -- whether or not they're doing it just for a superficial shock value moment or a real desire to dress outside of fashion norm. And also a lot of fashion is putting on a show!! Fashion, to me, is a spectacle! But that's just my perspective lol sorry if I got a bit passionate and thank you for sharing!! 🩷
Also I can totally see I how contradicted myself in this vid, so thank you for pointing it out !!
