BTW, I’m 61 & you are the friend I always wished I had, who can talk about fashion for hours and understand why I get so excited about a colour or a fabric or a silhouette. How cool is technology now I can be “friends” with people I’ve never met! I don’t feel so lonely in my love of fashion anymore so thank you 🙏🏻
YOUR videos give me a real insight into fashion. Before your channel, I saw fashion and I love style, but I never really followed what was going on in the fashion world. You intellectualise fashion and really show its depth. That's what attracts me to anything, theoretical depth, and no other RUclips channel I have come across talks this holistically about the themes and theories and concepts in fashion. Before this I had no idea how intellectually rich the world of fashion could be, so thanks for these excellent videos!!!
LOVE how you cover PFW, interview designers, interact with the clothing and most importantly how you talk about fashion! You bring an academic and intellectual POV that is very much missing from other journalists. Keep that shit up!! You guys are amazing!
literally just checked your channel an hour ago to see if i missed an upload but you were in fact just cooking for three weeks straight thank you for this MEAL
1:03:21 A piece of paper/fabric is actually 3D. “A sheet of paper may seem to be two-dimensional, but because it does have a measurable (if tiny) depth, it's actually three-dimensional.” “Because your paper is flat, everything you draw on it is two-dimensional.” Every piece of clothing is 3D. You look at 3D piece from different angles and each gives different view. On the other hand, you view 2D from 1 angle. So a bump is 3D that’s
I really enjoy seeing you got dressed or styling by those designers, that helps me to see and understand those garments better…. Please do more of that next time. ❤
Kei Ninomiya's runway show is still running in my head; I'm absolutely obsessed with it. To me it was his most nostalgic, and dare I say, his most pubescent collection. It feels very liminal, and I was so inspired, especially with his use of holography and other optical materials.
Yohji's work and the concept of Ma is also elusive in the world of fashion to me. However, coming from the world of architecture not so much. When you're designing architecture, you're not designing a building/public space/furniture/interior etc, you are "containing" space. It's an abstract concept taught to us very early in our design journey. Interestingly, cubism was also something that we learned quickly after.
Designers I loved from this video: 1. Undercover, for being really touching in the way they explained something I feel quite a lot (and it's nice to know some men get it); 2. Ninomiya, for the kaleidoscopic plate metal effect; 3. Givenchy, for the beading on the cat dress (because you don't see that cat first); 4. Tom Brown, for the ravens in so many materials, for the big moth cape thing, for doing medieval-slash-1950s style overshoes; ArdAzAei, for the geometric quality of the clothes in terms of the patterns on the fabric and the pattern of the fabric. Fun fact, I learned recently that hennins were based on the headdresses worn by Mongol women, particularly aristocratic Mongol women
As an animator, comic creator, and character designer, and overall artist, this video mesmerized me and pretty much singlehandedly got me into runway fashion, absolutely jawdropping stuff 🔥🔥🤯🤯
Great job! It was worth the wait. I started watching at breakfast time and just finished eating lunch. I would just pause the video in order to multi-task and then go back to it and continue. Greetings from Los Angeles
those Hermes clothes!!!! This might just be me, and if it's Too Far then Oops and Mea Culpa, but another aspect of that collection, certainly by incorporating the studs but also through certain other elements, is its SUPER understated incorporation of kink and spcl lesbian kink? Like idk: maybe I'm reading too much into it/seeing what I want to see, or maybe it's an association that's simply unavoidable with leather and leather-adjacent references like equestrian sports and cycling, but it's amazing to me that they managed to make these little elements which scream kink to me so sedated and refined and yet still apparent! This is straight-up Fashion-Alchemy :D :D :D
What a fantastic fashion channel! Always very inspiring to watch one of your curated videos. Love your passionate insights and how much you share. Thank you for all the generous and consistently great, distilled content!
45:14 i would wear every piece of Kuroguchi that i saw in ypur video! Omg those color changes - bleeds of rust into white and matching top is smth i will be dreaming about. I
ruofuckinghan! love a minimalist approach to design coz a mentor even said one should sleep with the fabrics so they can tell u what they want u to do with them. also it's kinda like how satoshi loves squares, the path of least resistance❤
Great post as usual bliss. As a YY fan and someone who has read so much about him, his clothes, spoken to people who supposedly get it and people like me who don't get it, I can say with certainty that without the man explaining his collections, I still don't get it. 😂 What has changed through all this research is appreciation of the craft, the work itself, and for those small number pieces I have from him, a deeper appreciation. Can you love a thing without truly knowing a thing?
Loved all the geometrically inspired collections; Yohji Yamamoto & cubism where the square pokects turned into draping; Junya Watanabe and the exploration of the transition from 2D to 3D; ArdAzAei and how the geometry of crystal structures inspired a lot of patterns. Especially the last one, more than just geometric as in "there are shapes" it feels very mathematical to me
Every single publication of your PFW coverage always blows me away. Thank you THANK YOU for covering everything the way you guys do & for sharing with us 😌🫶🏼🥹
I've watched the Undercover show like 20 times since it aired cause it left me sobbing again and again. I wanted to inderstand why. I am aware that my reaction was probably individual and it most likely just hit the right spot. I find the collection such a dignified understanding of what woman's dressing is expected to be all at the same time: sexy and gentle, both practical and sculpting, comfortable but formal, casual but intentional too. The show is both easy and impossible to put togheter from clothes that might be in any (middle-class) woman's wardrobe. I also appreaciate the tote bag element, which of course is old, but seems so 'unperformative' in this context. It really feels like the models were on their way home, even a little weary from work. I also understand that the collection is playing into the image of a certain-class woman - meaning the social commentary is restricted. A more diverse casting in terms of sizing and age would also be in place, but the show is very openly subjective, admiting the lack of dramatic changes, or power to incite change for that matter. I appreciate that the show (both clothes and the poem) is not paternal. There is no sense of resignation either, but a proof of life-long stamina of women. btw great work Bliss and D, thank you.
Bliss! Great review. Just a quick note to keep you as the "best coverage in the industry". Uma Wang is pronounced Uma "Wong" for us Americans. This is one of the most common Chinese surnames 王 literally meaning "king". I hate to be that guy 😂 but wanted to let you know as I'm sure her work will be featured in future videos of yours!
the box pockets are giving miyake! (possibly an homage) also, one of the most beautiful kimonos i've seen a pic of is a purple one by yohji (i.e. not black)
that sacai/Abe collection... Dresses and coats: Two Gr8 Tastes that taste Gr8 TOGETHER :D :D Also, the way she plays around with zettai ryoiki in this, completely subsuming the skirt in the coat and the stockings in the boot, is Cheeky+Masterful+Thought-Provoking! I also loved the, Idk if there's a word for it, "swishy" elements to the coats? Like how the hems on some of the looks bounce and flap around. And how the fit of the boots wasn't skin-tight: that's an interesting choice that, for me at least, brought to mind more practical types of boots like rainboots or wading-boots.
Incredible… as always The experimentation you highlighted at Hermes is fascinating further reinforcing the brands elite status. We all need to make more friends amongst our clothes… perspective changing Thanks for bringing us with you into Akris… very cool and so beautiful. I loved the calmness. Chitose! And your analysis!!!! And actually all of these anlayses! Makes us fall more in love with fashion. All these creative geniuses are so inspiring. Thanks for bringing us closer to ERD’s world… wow! Geoffrey B Small is mesmerizing. The knowledge and expertise is unreal. Driving innovation. Grateful for hearing from him. So interesting about Givenchy’s atelier. Thanks for sharing! And now even more mind blown from Thom Browne. Do we get to see the full Bianca Saunders interview? 😉
hi bliss, i was wondering if your video on the Maison Margiela Spring 2024 Haute Couture collection will be patreon exclusive or it is otw for main? lots of love!
Great video but the but about 2D shapes and 3D shapes was a bit silly. Using wrapping paper on a basketball was a cherry picked example. It's easy to transform a flat plane into a cylinder or a cuboid or a cone or whatever. Sorry but I know geometry like you know fashion so this is the first time I can contribute in a meaningful way lol
I hated the clothes shown after the mobius strip discussion. I don’t care for clothes that are so impractical that they could not actually be worn, because they would slap people in the legs, or hit them in the face as a wearer passed by.
❤❤❤❤Thank you for another STUNNING video! ArdAzAei is my new favorite! My GOD what gorgeous clothing. Just wondering, is there any way you could indicate who is writing what parts of the video? There was one part where you thanked Daniela for how she explained a certain collection, and it made me realize that because Bliss is always the public face of the videos, i unconsciously ascribe the words to him. I don't know if the way you two write things together would allow for a strict delineation between Bliss/Daniela writing, but it might be nice to see that as one listens. A great watch as always; I was furiously moodboarding along with the video on Tagwalk.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Both of us split the writing and the editing, but we regularly pass off to each other throughout the process. So like 85% of the sections would be by both of us haha 😆
Love your videos! I feel like I'm always learning so much from you. What are some other channels and/or other video resources would you recommend? The only other modern fashion youtuber I watch consistently is HauteLaMode, do you have any opinion on his channel?
I make my clothes... slow fashion is my motto and I wish we lived in a world where we could wear all sorts of weird clothes and get done with trends. I absolutely hate trends and waste. I am a fabric addict, so much so that I go to fabric stores just to touch fabrics. But I don't appreciate the high fashion waste either... the exclusivity, the snub of it... and logos... oh my... I hate logos. I went to fashion school to learn the rules so I could break them all. I believe clothes are not self expression if you don't make them yourself or if you don't commission someone to bring your vision to life. Any clothes you buy are a vision and expression of someone else that you happen to agree with. And most people we are trends that don't align with anything but with the desire to make money on the part of who creates and the desire to show off and feel part of something on the part of the consumer. I really wish that going to a semesters with your own sketch would comeback. I am 57, and I grew up having my sketches made into my clothes by a semestres, by my mom, or an auntie, latter, around 9yo I started making my own with the help of my mom. I would love to make stuff for other people, make them feel what is like to wear their own vision, and if they love logos, I would use their own logo that they would create, their own monogram, their own family moto, their own soul. We would not have fast fashion if. People understand that clothes, not fashion, clothes is art is you allow it to come from yourself. So, I am frustrated, mad, and disappointed with anything to do with luxury or fast fashion. I will just keep making my own clothes very toned down to not call attention because society have a very strict idea on how a mum after her 50s should and should not wear. I know I shouldn't care, but I like to be invisible, but if everyone would just dress for their own satisfaction, I am sure I would just blend in. Oh my.... bla bla bla bla.... anyways, all that just to say I love your channel and I will make sure to binge and look in your subscription program for more content. This first video is simply amazing (first for me) thank you for putting so much into a free content.
you puting the microphone in you, ahhhh, well, gosh while watching I thought frickin hell! Be still my beating heart! !! Iove your thoughts of and about fashion. Very Very cool...As an artist I get a ton of imspiratioin from you thoughts about fashion.
I'm in the mame kurogouchi part right now and just as you said it's the ceramics theme I'm thinking mmmh, this reminds me of Hermès ceramics, and just the second later you point out the Martin Margiela Hermès reference. Coincidence? I don't think so! 😄 46:02
I am European and was not made to watch the movie Christiane F. - though we do read the book, sometimes at school. It was a book forever, but Americans seem to only recognize movies :D Not you personally, its a general impression.
I see the new Givenchy Coffe table book on your book - shelve. . If it is the largest - "Noir" - then my good Friend Tonia is featured in it. She did model for Givenchy in the 90's. The pictures are to dies for. They recreate a certain era for the of Paris and fashion.
funny u mention christian f being mandatory 8th grade dont do drugs movie, in america we have requiem for a dream which has a similar premise, i always make the joke of the movie just being the lives of people in aphex twin music videos or it being an idm shakesperian tragedy. still love that directors work for sure
I don't know how he insists on being straight when he has been gagging on designers appendage for 2 hours... Gurl we know you are greatfull for being invited, but you are doing the most. The everything is amazing persona reaks of paid add.
37:06 the placement of the position of the pocket is naturally the place where the hand falls, in the winter, in order to avoid the garment touching any objects like a car, where the fabric can risk getting dirty or wet and also in windy conditions, the coat tends to open in that very place, and the hand keeps the garment from opening. One day, there must be a place for the position of the coat can be raised when going up a set of stairs, as the foot can have a tendency to step on the corner of the coat and can cause an accident. But yes, it was very thoughtful, the placement of the hand and the pocket!
ive been playing hours and hours of the dishonored series from arkane studios and i cant help but look at jeffery b smalls and his work and think this guys is gonna be making me better gear for the next mission. jeffery has this tasteful atmosphere that makes me think of that world
akris just flexing chicly. the columns changing is some magical science and imagination, j'adore! and sacai that's more ambitious than usual? yas! werq!
09:55 Botega does some interesting thingsxwith leather, their jeans leather fo example. So who do you think takes namtel in leather work here Hermes or Botega?
as an artist who makes work about the human body, I always get so much creative input from your comments and visuals. Make no mistake, to quote you, skin is always the original garment! Love it and will always watch all the way to the sweet, better end of the video!
@@BlissFoster Thank you for your reply! It seems like my replies keep getting deleted for some reason. Maybe because I am posting links to the pictures? The jacket they are copying is a unique piece made for Mark Lebon in the mid-80s. It used to have a plastic sheet sewn onto it, but which has since worn off. There are some remains of it on the hem, pockets and collar. They exhibited it at DSML in 2018. There are some pictures of it on Nemeth's instagram, though quite far down at this point. There's a clearer photo of it on Outi Les Pyy.
I still cannot become a patron because Brazil remains a financial hell. But I almost cried throughout the whole thing. Yes, I am just starting in fashion, I know next to nothing. But, as a fellow MA in Literary Criticism, I understand your videos better than most other fashion "educators" here on RUclips. So, cheers from this distant land. And keep it cool.
We love what we do, but we can’t do it alone. Join the mfing patreon so you can watch hours of exclusive videos. Link in description💫💫
i'm there! it's very chic. ;-)
I'm on it !
I’m enjoying this so much!!!!
Aunty Pasqual has always loved leather. I would love to have high tea with you at the mountain Nelson in cape town
2 HOURS. This is gonna be insane. Thanks for all the work that you guys put into this
Yes!!! Always so excited to watch these when they come out🎉

2 hours about Paris runaways?! okay you deserve a big thanks, a like, and yes, I am sending you some money. Good job guys!
Thanks, homie 🙏🙏
YOUR videos give me a real insight into fashion. Before your channel, I saw fashion and I love style, but I never really followed what was going on in the fashion world. You intellectualise fashion and really show its depth. That's what attracts me to anything, theoretical depth, and no other RUclips channel I have come across talks this holistically about the themes and theories and concepts in fashion. Before this I had no idea how intellectually rich the world of fashion could be, so thanks for these excellent videos!!!
Damn, that means a lot to me :) You caught exactly what we were going for 💫💫
Now imagine all that money and effort aimed towards something that actually helped.. lol jks
@@Jackson-uk8xx I think art, and yes I think fashion can be art, has a relevant place in this world. You better be joking :D

literally just checked your channel an hour ago to see if i missed an upload but you were in fact just cooking for three weeks straight thank you for this MEAL
1:03:21 A piece of paper/fabric is actually 3D.
“A sheet of paper may seem to be two-dimensional, but because it does have a measurable (if tiny) depth, it's actually three-dimensional.”
“Because your paper is flat, everything you draw on it is two-dimensional.”
Every piece of clothing is 3D.
You look at 3D piece from different angles and each gives different view.
On the other hand, you view 2D from 1 angle.
So a bump is 3D that’s

1 hour in and I didn’t realise I had another hour 👏🏾👏🏾
“And that we would love her just as much if she found happiness aswell.” Man what a ride. Love your work Bliss.
This got me too 😭🫶🤌
I really enjoy seeing you got dressed or styling by those designers, that helps me to see and understand those garments better…. Please do more of that next time. ❤
You guys are insane. Thank you so so much!!
Can’t imagine doing anything else 😌
sat through the whole 2 hours, the 4 weeks wait was worth it. thank you.
When I found a moment to have free time, this was the first video I put on. I really appreciate everything you and Daniela create! Amazing work🥳🥳
That dress at 20:01... wooooow. She's like a moving flame. I'm obsessed
Kei Ninomiya's runway show is still running in my head; I'm absolutely obsessed with it. To me it was his most nostalgic, and dare I say, his most pubescent collection. It feels very liminal, and I was so inspired, especially with his use of holography and other optical materials.

Geoffrey B Small is the Best designer don’t be scared to say it Bliss we’ll still love you.
Thank you for introducing me to Akris, they are the most beautiful and functional, fabrics and clothes :) 😍😍😍
yes AKRIS... AKRIS is so underrated brand in from France..
Yohji Yamamoto as all designers does not need to explain the experience in fact the effect of experience is most important.

I know I shouldn't care, but I like to be invisible, but if everyone would just dress for their own satisfaction, I am sure I would just blend in.
Oh my.... bla bla bla bla.... anyways, all that just to say I love your channel and I will make sure to binge and look in your subscription program for more content. This first video is simply amazing (first for me) thank you for putting so much into a free content.
50:51... Well, not really. At least in my generation, we watched the boy in striped pyjamas, the pianist, and the wave.
Love from Spain
you puting the microphone in you, ahhhh, well, gosh while watching I thought frickin hell! Be still my beating heart! !! Iove your thoughts of and about fashion. Very Very cool...As an artist I get a ton of imspiratioin from you thoughts about fashion.
I'm in the mame kurogouchi part right now and just as you said it's the ceramics theme I'm thinking mmmh, this reminds me of Hermès ceramics, and just the second later you point out the Martin Margiela Hermès reference. Coincidence? I don't think so! 😄 46:02
I am European and was not made to watch the movie Christiane F. - though we do read the book, sometimes at school. It was a book forever, but Americans seem to only recognize movies :D Not you personally, its a general impression.
I'll be waiting for whole coverage of Milan Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week
London Fashion Week
even it takes a long time..
hoping next year..
I see the new Givenchy Coffe table book on your book - shelve. . If it is the largest - "Noir" - then my good Friend Tonia is featured in it. She did model for Givenchy in the 90's. The pictures are to dies for. They recreate a certain era for the of Paris and fashion.
funny u mention christian f being mandatory 8th grade dont do drugs movie, in america we have requiem for a dream which has a similar premise, i always make the joke of the movie just being the lives of people in aphex twin music videos or it being an idm shakesperian tragedy. still love that directors work for sure

"women will never have the right clothes because women are expected to be so many different, often contradictory, things" 1:12:40 ..... Damnnn
I think you will find traditionally during the Edo period of Japan, the "Poots" were called "Bants"?!?!
37:06 the placement of the position of the pocket is naturally the place where the hand falls, in the winter, in order to avoid the garment touching any objects like a car, where the fabric can risk getting dirty or wet and also in windy conditions, the coat tends to open in that very place, and the hand keeps the garment from opening. One day, there must be a place for the position of the coat can be raised when going up a set of stairs, as the foot can have a tendency to step on the corner of the coat and can cause an accident. But yes, it was very thoughtful, the placement of the hand and the pocket!
ive been playing hours and hours of the dishonored series from arkane studios and i cant help but look at jeffery b smalls and his work and think this guys is gonna be making me better gear for the next mission. jeffery has this tasteful atmosphere that makes me think of that world

Na, after I got the system, I skidded your babble, talking the brands, I listen the babble u say zoooom💋
Yawn. Everyone looked like a zombie both in clothes and make up. Looked like Frankenstein meets zombies collection.
I watch these long videos in pieces but they are always so educational and interesting. My favorite was the Enfants Riches as well.
As a fellow liberal arts person, thanks for this! I’ve always loved fashion but this is the first show that’s really helped me make sense of it ✌️
09:55 Botega does some interesting thingsxwith leather, their jeans leather fo example. So who do you think takes namtel in leather work here Hermes or Botega?
I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE your runway reviews. I would be on your petrion if I could pay for it
I want a list of all those books in the back haha
Honestly, the only channel I GO TO on RUclips, everything else is just recommended.
I have to ask where that awesome choker you are wearing with the bit on it comes from? It's really cool! And amazing video, as usual!
Thanks! It’s a red Hermes twilly and the Hermes hardware is listed as “Mini Mors Twilly Ring” 💫💫
@@BlissFoster Thanks so much!
Cheers! Appreciate what you do.
I love this report! very comprehensive... [dramatic pause] 'poots' 😆
I had to look at the time stamp when you said that it was 2 hrs. I watched it on 1.5x but still I thought it was like 20 minutes.
Thank you , guys, you give me toons of usefull information aaand ofcouse alottt of insperation came with it
Amazing. Thank you. ✨👑💙
as an artist who makes work about the human body, I always get so much creative input from your comments and visuals. Make no mistake, to quote you, skin is always the original garment! Love it and will always watch all the way to the sweet, better end of the video!
That first ERD look at 49:25 is just a complete copy of a Christopher Nemeth post sack jacket from the 80s.
Hmmm, I don’t see it 🤔 mostly because it looked like Nemeth’s jacket curves at the bottom of the hem so much. Am I looking at the wrong thing?
@@BlissFoster Thank you for your reply!
It seems like my replies keep getting deleted for some reason. Maybe because I am posting links to the pictures?
The jacket they are copying is a unique piece made for Mark Lebon in the mid-80s. It used to have a plastic sheet sewn onto it, but which has since worn off. There are some remains of it on the hem, pockets and collar. They exhibited it at DSML in 2018.
There are some pictures of it on Nemeth's instagram, though quite far down at this point. There's a clearer photo of it on Outi Les Pyy.
Clothes look like something from a horror movie...ms Herbes would not wear this s h iii to a dog fight.
26:02 Absolutely stunning. I have chills.
Strong agree
Enormous amounts of work, thank you.

I loved enfant riches Deprimes as well, i love how the lore feels. Also the set design for anrealage
Herme's was giving me The Matrix vibe. I think I saw Trinity @8:35
I think a bolt of fabric is a 3 dd object from the start and 2 d is more how we imagine it.
I still cannot become a patron because Brazil remains a financial hell. But I almost cried throughout the whole thing. Yes, I am just starting in fashion, I know next to nothing. But, as a fellow MA in Literary Criticism, I understand your videos better than most other fashion "educators" here on RUclips. So, cheers from this distant land. And keep it cool.
This comment means more to be than a year on the Patreon. Thanks so much for the kind words, homie :)
Shoutout Brazil 🇧🇷
