even though fashion isn't as big a part of my life your content makes me appreciate it so much more, I hope to be stable enough soon to also join the patreon
This was a beautiful video. I really enjoyed the watch. You're always pumping out thought-provoking videos that really make me reflect on the world we live in. Thank you for the work you do!
I loved seeing this video earlier today before going to the Vancouver Art Gallery - I didn't know I would be seeing some Craig Green pieces in there. It was a show on Fashion and the Future so it definitely checked out. Your video definitely coloured my experience, so thank you :)
9:30 wasn’t the case that women who drowned - were deemed not to have been witches… and those that survived - were (that is they would then be executed in some other way)? A no-win -situation for the woman. Or am I tripping?
I think you’re right. Which would mean would that Craig greens raft is kept afloat by witchcraft. Since the people were floating, thus meaning they’re witches. Maybe it’s the idea of the ritualistic and magical behind his clothes. People who just got into fashion or have been into fashion for a long time could both say that there’s something magical about his clothes. Only once you pick a part the seams, threads and yarns of the clothes and lay it all out you come to realize that the end product put together becomes more than the sum of its parts … fashion magic, baby
I have this jacket also, simply stunning and hard to contextualise. That longer interview with Tim Blanks is interesting. Craig always steps back from intellectual concepts / contexts that Tim tries to add to the mix or pin to him. With that in mind, I simply refer to the jacket as 'drug mule x-ray jacket'. But your shamanism / totemism / sacred materiality approach works well.
@@BlissFoster well, the little wrap type bags, normally swallowed or inserted in orifices! I guess there's possibly a critical angle there, on human trafficking. Which was my immediate thought when you showed that inverted raft structure.
someone wrote on FB that he was inspired by Phyliss Galembo for the 2024 SS. never heard of him & i quite liked her photography & i agreed with the FB guy ppl :D
‘Luxuriating in their uselessness’ - epic! Another enlightening video especially regarding the spirituality aspect. So is this inter-generational ritual? In our DNA? ALWAYS new learnings. Going to watch the Tim Blanks interview…
That image made me think about “The Raft of the Medusa” by Géricault, which depicts pure horror towards the rage of nature and at the same time, a glimpse of hope and salvation. I don’t know if it was part of Green’s imaginary as he talks about human rituals that reflect the need of safety, but I find the possible reference quite appealing 🙃
After working with steel, wood & fabric, I found fabric the hardest to design & work with. Steel while taking more labor technically it's easy to shape and easy to fix mistakes, while fabric is much harder to manipulate into shapes & fix mistakes...
Don’t you worry Bliss, onomatopoeia adlibs resembling guns have and still are a mainstay in a lot of rap songs. They are related to guns, obviously, and gang culture, like “braaatt” or “craaat”. Source: an avid rap listener and went to a high school with kids who claimed various gangs.
It be like an artform and storytelling explains a lot. Ive always been more about comfort and less functionality: Can I wear this outfit while hiking at the grand canyon. Also can I sleep in it if I forgot my tent. Now to go find a sleeping bag I can drape over myself before entering university finals.
Trial by drowning was even more ridiculous than how you describe it. My understanding is that if you drowned, that meant you were innocent. But if you managed not to drown, then that meant you were aided by outside forces, and were guilty of witchcraft. So basically, if you drowned, then you were innocent, but still were dead. Whereas if you survived, then you were guilty, and would shortly be put to death. But wait it's somehow even stupider. Because to some degree you're actually correct when you say that surviving the trial meant that you were innocent. Trial by drowning is a variation on a class of trials which were referred to as trial by ordeal. In the traditional formal of a trial by ordeal, surviving the ordeal was considered an indication of innocence, and dying was considered evidence of guilt. The church tried to stamp out trial by ordeal throughout the high middle ages, but it came back within vogue amongst some of the more extreme of the protestant sects in their fervor to root out witches. Except at this point they reversed how the trial worked, meaning that if you died it made you innocent, but if you survived then you were guilty (and would be put to death). I'd actually argue that this version of trial by drowning isn't even really a 'medieval' construct. The historical period I'd associate it with more would be early modernity. It's a product of the very particular brand of crazy which emerged out of the reformation and the counterreformation.
I think with the raft imagery Craig was referencing the rafts immigrants swim on to get to Europe/UK. It’s a very gruesome and sad imagery since a lot of them sink. But none the less the raft would act as an object of beliefs that it will take them to the better world and “save” them.
anyone knows brands that sell good essential items to style with thats is substantial? im having a hard time finding anything. if i google wool sweater i get an asos sweater made out of polyester or something. :)
*I LOVE RITUAL* I deeply believe that humans need ritual - I would be a dedicated church goer were it not for all the God stuff. Every morning of my life starts the same way with its ritual, it never changes, I get up 20 minutes before sunrise every day so even the light is the same. I'm on the balcony watching the sun come up over the horizon doing my tai chi. I've had Bi-Polar / ADHD all my life and ritual helps me control this without medication.

Your videos always bring me to a much deeper and fuller understanding and appreciation for art. You’re awesome
Yes!
That jacket is insane. And fits you very well.

As a not fashionable or fashion knowledgeable person, I have once again clicked in your video and thoroughly enjoyed it ❤
So glad we finally have a Craig Green vid!
Yes! I was waiting for you to discuss Craig Green! Contemporary fashion for the modern Shaman

You have the most YA novel protagonist name I’ve ever heard. Not hating; merely an observation.

Wait, that’s really interesting, could you walk out why you call the jacket that a little bit more?

Going to watch the Tim Blanks interview…
Craig Green is one of my favorite designer. I love his technical and artsy approach of garments. SS17 and AW17 collections are my favorites
Bliss Foster looks like young Martin Starr and I love it!

Wow so crazy! I was just reading an article by Jerry Saltz about that painting! Good call, I can see the link there
I thought about that too. The event was chaotic - a bit like the coat - but the composition of the painting is so organized - also like the coat.
I just pieced together that ripstop is called that because it stops rips... I feel slow hahahaha
Brilliant ...One of your best.. Thanks !
Man you wordsmith’d the DAWG SHIT outta this intro bro
Lmaoooo sometimes you gotta flex the English degree idk 💫💫
I just wanted to say, I already watched the video on the first thumbnail
After working with steel, wood & fabric, I found fabric the hardest to design & work with. Steel while taking more labor technically it's easy to shape and easy to fix mistakes, while fabric is much harder to manipulate into shapes & fix mistakes...
I hate fabric with all my being, and that’s why I choose to work with it every day
Love how you deliver your videos!
I appreciate that! 💫💫
3:30 this archive piece hits hard

all of the things you said in the intro make a lot of sense when you take into account the fact craig green is a sculptor turned fashion designer
very cool, thank you!

My absolute favourite
Craig Green or this jacket specifically?
@@BlissFoster Craig Green (and you of course Bliss), I’m an architecture student from the UK so his work tends to resonate with me
I think with the raft imagery Craig was referencing the rafts immigrants swim on to get to Europe/UK. It’s a very gruesome and sad imagery since a lot of them sink. But none the less the raft would act as an object of beliefs that it will take them to the better world and “save” them.

Aaaah, thats why its called rip stop, interesting, I thought it had to do with sailing.
I love your T-shirt there is Persian typography on it
Yeah! This is one of my favorites 🦾
Info on the glasses? I love em
It’s all very Inspector Gadget-ish.
anyone knows brands that sell good essential items to style with thats is substantial? im having a hard time finding anything. if i google wool sweater i get an asos sweater made out of polyester or something. :)

I give you...Deralict!!!
whoever said it looks like trash bags is probably on the nose about the inspo, maybe the toiles were even made of them =]
please return previous preview picture...
I wouldn’t say a FULL dose of acid but maybe he’s micro doses. Lol
Holy based
Paramedic here 🚑A stoma is the hole itself.
Always happy to be corrected 💫💫
Would you mind sharing the word I intended to use? What is the device that covers a stoma?
you should try acid for real tho
Ironically enough, the raft reminds me of the immigration crisis happening in Europe.
too bad he doesn’t treat their designers well 🤷🏻♂️
Stop changing title and thumbnail every two hours lol
It’s not a stoma 😂
What do you see?
@@BlissFoster that was a film reference😬I see it.
