If I wanted to buy how do I do it?

SAME!!!!
That rainbow Mugler jacket is a work of art and exquisite skill! Wearable yet avant garde. That level of craftsmanship is rarely seen in today’s designs.
it's amazing. I could see someone like Fran Drescher wearing it, for example.
I followed L.A Frock star religiously. I was so elated when I discovered this channel yesterday. Please keep making more content!
Is the show still on? I don't have cable but would look for it if it's still on.
Ernest Lesmana Hi Ernest! Thanks so much for your kind remark! We plan to post an episode every week so stay tuned. Thank you also for your interest.
Doris
Same. Just found this today and am thrilled. Binge watching every episode!
@@thewaywewore7371 glad to see back please bring back your other shows love yafrancine
That first blush dress is stunning.
the linen dior with the notch collar and swallowtail plus the rainbow mugler are so love! =]
WOW! WHAT A BATHING SUIT!
N D I know, right? Blew me away and so happy to share it with you!
Doris
I missed LA Frock Stars. So happy to learn about this series. You Tube's analytics can work, who knew? I enjoyed seeing, in this episode, how world events can direct fashion to a particular direction.Two suggestions: (1) Show how great art can cross over and influence designers and fashion trends both past and present. Specifically I am thinking about the classic black dress seen in John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Madam X. Also maybe focus on themes of past Met Galas regarding the extreme, the wearable and even buyable.
Mariko True Thanks Mariko! Great suggestions and I have to think of things I have that we can use to illustrate that. I will definitely put your suggestions on our list for potential episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
That painting and dress are exquisite!
My first job at 13 years old was straightening the racks at a vintage clothing and theater costume shop in South Florida. I always marveled at the multiple racks of 40s suits! Love this channel and your store ❤️ thank you for showing us your treasures along with an education.
Doris I believe you totally deserve to hold the title of an honorary professor for fashion history/journalism!!!
The Christian Dior linen jacket is amazing, the cut.
love the gingham adrian esp. coz the buttons are placed on either side of the bustle!
thd balmain is so exquisitely printed that it looks like embroidery from afar!
And the Thierry Mugler rainbow jacket - oh yes absolutely yes!
That Mugler rainbow top is absolutely amazing! ❤
Doris, the world is better for having you in it - not only.your incredible passion but your kind heart, sparkle in your eyes and cheery smile. Thank you for whatever it is you do to cultivate your wonderful aura that is felt around the world. Or at least here in the UK!
theteadiffusionvlog Wow- what a lovely
comment! It has been so rewarding to begin this dialogue with like-minded people who respond to beautiful garments from the past. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
Aaaah! The 80's. Power shoulders. Nipped waists. Lovingly contoured skirt backs. Peblums. It allowed me to channel my inner Rosalind Russel. And then you follow that with a swimsuit Esther Williams would have loved. Great episode! Many happy flasbacks!
I love these! The galliano! The mugler! It’s still inspiring designers nowadays. Thank you so much Doris!
I have a LOT of 40’s clothes. It’s my favorite era.
That rainbow Mugler jacket is what dreams are made of 😍
I was just about to say how much I love the Mugler inspiration I've been seeing in drag over the past few years (and how the mainstreaming of drag is bringing all that Mugler inspiration back into popular consciousness), and then boom! There's Violet Chachki!
stelur Your comment made me smile. 👍🏼. Thanks for your interest.
Doris
Excellent historical presentation.I love it.Anna
Gorgeous pieces! Thierry Mugler is amazing and that swimsuit at the end was incredible!
The multi colored Mugler... 😩 so beautiful! I just watched the fall/winter runway show from 1995. It’s so iconic. The hats... the power suits. Just impeccable design.
Being from Québec, I am so glad that you talked about the exhibition at le musée des Beaux-Arts, I hope that you had the chance to see it🇨🇦🇲🇶
That first dress is amazing. The draping is so beautiful.
Absolutely amazing pieces! The fabrics, seaming, colours - just beautiful 💗
Thank you Doris for showing off the pieces! Love the segment at the end, that bathing suit is beautiful.
Hello Doris i love to watch you on youtube i am french and i would like so much to visit your shop one day You explain so well your passion for fashion throuh the different decades .thank you verymuch .merci beaucoup.Corinne
Corinne Massot Bonjour Corinne! We hope to welcome you in our store one day. Thanks for your kind words and I appreciate your interest!
Doris
I am obsessed with this RUclips channel. I have always loved fashion and to listen to someone who has also fallen in love with fashion and vintage clothing and loves the whimsical side of clothing makes me happy. I could listen to you speak all day about designers, fabric, stitching, the era of the item. You are truly someone who enjoys what she does for a living and I applaud you and your channel. Love the 'Showoff' theme. I hope to get to LA someday and visit your store. Thank you!!!!!
This is amazingggg history Doris !
I love your cheerful smile and the blouse you are wearing, it really suits you perfectly. But I really was absolutely gobsmacked by the stunning swimsuit! Beautifully handcrafted and maintained! Well done indeed again Doris Raymond!
Thanks Cassandra. I appreciate your approval!
Doris
I was already drooling for the blush Adrian and that marvolous rainbow jacket (I'm always amazed with this kind of seam work), but when you brought out the gold bathing suit I literaly screamed!!! Great episode as always!!
Doris I would love to see a selection of accessories (great show-stopping shoes, jewlery, hats, etc..) and a selection of night gowns that you think are timeless and amazing 😍
I live for eighties fashion so this episode was a lovely treat, thank you!!!!
Júlia Lázara You are so welcome! I have had many requests for an accessory episode so I will think about what to do and how to do it. And you’re right- the seam work on the Mugler is beyond incredible! Thanks for your continued interest!
Doris
The 40's are one of my favorite eras of fashion. Absolutely love this video, and the history you provided. Thank you!
Hi Doris I agree , they say everything old is new again , imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . Yet I feel in fashion the past calls the future art seeks finite expression . And what we wear at all levels of financial capability , can be artful or pure high art. Lv your shop and artfull expression .✌🏿️👌🏾💕💕
Can’t wait for another video✨❤️
I absolutely love your show and obsess over the vintage clothing! I go to the Elephants Trunk Flea market every week in hopes for more finds! The 1940s are one of the best decades for fashion. Thank you for this education! 😍
Love this one!!! I want to see some 1960 wedding or high fashion.
Karah Jo Hi Karah Jo. We will put that on our list of possible episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
I just found your channel. It is brilliant - with the proper bow of respect and sound of applause that Americans bring to that word. Thank you.
Doris talking about things is basically the greatest thing ever
Here March 2020 during lockdown 🙄 40’s and into 50’s one of my favorite time periods! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I knew they had restrictions during the War, but not in the fashion world.I can't wait till next week!!!!!!!!
That swimsuit is CINEMATICALLY STUNNING!!!
Maybe you can make a video dedicated to city's "the Antwerp 6" from Belgium Margiela, Dries ... or dedicated to "Paris" Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix .. "Milan" Versace, Valentino.. "Londen" Vivienne westwood... Love you !
Nico G5 Great suggestion Nico and I will add it to our list of possible episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
I knew instantly who had designed the unicorn jacket. So many beautiful clothes and I enjoyed your 80s/40s parallels. Your ‘showoff’ at the end was spectacular. 😍
Doris I have just discovered you this afternoon and what an absolute fantastic channel, only seen a few episodes of the tv show (also today here on youtube) as I live in Europe, but this channel is so much better. thanks for sharing your love and knowledge so generously with us all. An idea to an episode would be "my few faves I would rescue in case of an emergency and why" ;)
René Nielsen Hi René! Thanks for your kind words!! I LOVE your suggestion!!! I will put it on our list for future episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
So informative! Great to see The Way We Wore.
You are so learned, thank you for this channel, and the knowledge that you pass on! Blessings sent your way
I have never been more excited to see something on RUclips!!! I'm from south Alabama and I met you Doris and your fabulous staff about a year ago. It was a dream to meet you guys and be able to shop around in the gorgeous time capsule you have.
Love the 40s and classic hollywood! Definitely my favorite video so far!
Love looking at all the different eras of fashion , especially around the world war 2 era and how it affected what clothing was made . Love the Adrian pieces and how he influenced so many amazing films and influenced styles ever since then ! Keep up the great work !!!
I I just found you today!!! So excited as I have missed your show greatly. I have discovered my passion for vintage rather late in my life, and I love learning more about it. Thank you so much for sharing your expert knowledge and passion for all things vintage. I would love to see more of your staff on your channel as they were always quirky, interesting, and knowledgeable. I would also love to learn more about vintage accessories, I.e., unusual handbags from all decades.
Nancy Boykin Hi Nancy. Thanks for taking the time to write. This channel is not a continuation of LA Frock Stars. My staff has no desire to be on camera except Orchid, every once and a while as a model. We will put your suggestion on our list of possible episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 Thanks such much for your reply. Looking forward to all content!
the rose marie reed's lamé is bomb!
Dear Doris,
I just wanted to thank you for starting a RUclips channel and spreading your knowledge with all of us. I binged-watched all of your videos today and can not wait for the next one. I would suggest if you could show us unusual accessories, shoes, bags or hats in the future video :) . Sending love from Croatia, Tamara
TamaraLukic Wow Tamara! Thank you for your kind words. It excites me to know we are reaching Croatia! I have put your suggestion on my list of possible episodes. There is lots more to come!! Thanks for your interest!
Doris
that mugler jacket is outrageous!!! to die for
Another fabulous Doris fashion lesson...thank you! Adrian is my favorite designer of all time! I have Jean Harlow on my wall in one of his gown's. Hugs!
I love this channel and what you are doing. I would be interested to see more content dedicated to accessories. Keep up the great work.
I've watched a lot of your videos, Doris and this is my favourite by a long chalk. I love the 80s and I enjoyed learning about the 40s clothing and then you finished off with that bathing suit. The talent in creating the unicorn jacket is just astounding.
Thank you, thank you, Doris, for another fabulous educational video!
Your channel is addictive Doris; you present the content so well. Love it....an absolute pleasure to watch!
Hi Doris,
I am so ecstatic to see the Gilbert Adrian pieces in your collection and to see them exhibited in this episode. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to see the Adrian and Alaïa exhibition here in Paris which turned out to be an enriching experience and it was absolutely divine to see all that tailored construction and how both the creators and designers influenced each other through their method of cutting and moulding it, irrespective of the time periods. Now, I can understand the connections between the 1940s and the 1980s much better in terms of the inspirations and the details. I am so elated to see the Galliano Spring 1995 ensemble worn by Kate Moss as well as those Mugler jackets and ensembles. Loved the Indian paisley print on that Pierre Balmain ensemble as well. Hoping to learn more from you and see more of those showoffs.......
Gaurav Dey Thank you for your kind and generous comment. Wish I was in Paris to see that exhibition. I knew the man that sold the Adrian collection to Alaia and there’s quite a story behind that. Thanks for your interest and there is more to come...
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 Wow I would love to hear that story. Luckily, I had a chance encounter with Alaïa himself at a bookshop here in Paris, a few months before he passed away so I really cherish that memory with me forever. And your welcome Doris for the lovely compliments. Looking forward to seeing more.
I love the rainbow jacket. It is amazing. It truly is magical.
Another fabulous video as usual. Thierry Mugler fashion, in my opinion, going to blow up big time thanks to people like Kim Kardashian and Cardi B wearing his vintage peices and events such as the Met Gala that promote his creations. I've said this before and ill say it again,people, please spend extra on good clothing. The cut the fit and the tailoring will complement the human form and will last you a long time as long as you look after it. Great tailoring is worth the money in the long run and will never go out of style if you buy key peices.
Doris, your continued enthusiasm and love for vintage clothing is so infectious! 😍
So happy you have a chanel now. I love lingerie if you have aubade, la perla vintage pieces I would love to see those
I looooove these videos. I'm not a huge fashion snob, but I love the history behind it all! I especially love how much detail you go into, and how much care and respect you have for every piece. Love you guys! I still binge as many LA Frock Stars videos as I can aha
You provide such a lovely escape from what's going on right now. Thank you.
Binging your videos during quarantine. Learning a lot! This is just like antiques roadshow but for fashion. Love it.
I am an art historian, so I really appreciate the extensive background information on these garments. You really know your stuff.
Ohh la la on the jacket , I love Lillie Ann , and Irene Sargent they did fabulous suits very difficult to find were I live .Irene Sargent was a SF Bay Area designer . Happy selling and hunting
You are a blessing and a lifesaver on vintage clothing! Thank you for starting your own show and posting!
I love the 1930s and 1940s fashion. This episode was very interesting. Loved it
Your videos are so interesting. I love learning about vintage fashion designers and the history behind their designs. Very informative history lessons! 😊
Thank you very much for another great piece of fashion history. I have been to Montreal this summer and saw the Thierry Mugler exhibition - it's a must-see!!
WOW that first dress is so pretty! That show off tho... dang looks so cool! this is super fun.
Terrific channel, love seeing such lovely vintage clothes & that you talk a bit about the history of that time so we can imagine what it was like to live during a time those clothes were worn.
Wow I loved this. I learned so much. I always like to see what you have and learn more about fashion and garments
Great episode! Wow! Love the showofffs segment, that Rose Marie is stunning
Thank you Doris! Always something to learn. 💛💋
love your new channel! Watched all the episodes already. How about doing shows on shoes and hats?
katherine raess-young Hi Katherine! I will put your suggestion on our list of possible episodes. Thanks for your interest!
Doris
I did a paper on Adrian for my intro to fashion class. He was amazing and talented. He is so underrated as a designer. More people should know his designs. He also designed for Joan Crawford in Letty Lynton. The dress that was most copied in 1932.
Hey any tv companies watching this , give this lady her own series where she travels the world searching out the designers and their histories . Shes brilliant .
Oh, that bathing suite is to die for!!!
I never knew in the 80s that I was wearing clothes inspired by the 40s. Love love love your RUclips videos keep up the good work.❤️
Love you Doris and all the team!!
Minh Thai Thank you Minh. We appreciate your interest!
Doris
I'm so excited that you have started a RUclips channel! I'd love to see vintage jewelry and evening bags.
Loved LA Frock Star. So happy to have found you again.
Would love to see 90's haute couture
The wealth of knowledge you have is amazing! The pieces you have are stunning
Another fabulous video, I am learning so much and love the new end of episode segment!
I love this channel so much!!!! Just recently stumbled upon your videos and they seriously give me chills!! I grew up with the dream of being a fashion designer one day and used to walk the thrift stores with my grandma looking for cool vintage pieces when I was just a little girl. I'd try on her heels from the 30's and 40's and do my own runway shows down their long hallway 💞 would love to visit your store someday!! That rainbow unicorn jacket😍😍 with the rainbow swimsuit you showed on another video, omgosh the rainbow bright in my heart jumped for joy!!!!! Hello all the way from the cornerstone of Illinois 💞💞
I loved this 40s has to be my favourite decade. i could watch you show us your items for hours!
Love your channel. Forwarding this video to my lovely daughter who is a Designer.
Such an incredible video !!! Love the dresses, Love the sory... Love it all !!!
TWWW posted a new video - it's a good day :) Absolutely love the new segment "Show offs" great idea, I look forward to the fun pieces we'll see. That piece of swimwear is just outstanding.
The multi-colored Mugler piece is so divine - whimsy and sharp tailoring in one. :)
Really love the history lesson being included, it's so interesting how we can trace politics and policy in our clothing.
I wonder, do you have any Madeleine Vionnet pieces?
Canlita Incanta Hello again Canlita! I had 8 Vionnets up until about 7 years ago. All sold to a collector/couturier in Paris. In retrospect- I should have kept at least one. ☹️
I truly feel like Galliano's Spring 1995 collection was like his audition for Dior. However the collection didn't feel like it was only referencing Dior, it felt more like the second coming. He truly immersed himself in Dior. One of the looks was inspired by Dior's "scissor" dress from the Fall 1949 collection. It was an obscure dress that Galliano referenced various times throughout his career. The 1995 show was also interesting in that it was a complete turnaround from the low-budget (yet still incredible) show from just a season before. I hope you do an episode about Galliano and his career. Despite all the controversy he truly is one of the most influential designers of the past forty years.
On a side note: if you look closely at the picture at 7:11 you see Azzedine Alaia in the front row.
That rainbow mugler is gorgeous!
soooooooo glad you are back , you make it passionate.
I would love a dedicated mulger episode or 'power suits' video
I love you Doris! You are such an inspiration to me. Please show us some of your 1910s fashion- hats too please!!
That pink dress is GORGEOUS....I named my Son Adrian after him...Love him!😍
Another great episode, thanks!
