Dear Doris, love your shop and the videos! Please keep more coming, update as often as you can :) Just a minor suggestion: the microphone volume is a bit too low, I have to tune up to 100% to hear everything you say. Maybe double check the sound for future videos? Many thanks!
Oh my god, Doris, that show-off dress! What a SCORE! I can’t wait to see what you find out about it! And the Courrèges pieces... the tailoring. It’s so precise! I think the first of the two pieces has the same “generation” of tags as a dress I had, and I was told by a collector that it was from 1969. Such an amazing designer. All three of them! Thanks again for sharing! ❤️
I don’t know what we did to deserve such an amazing series! I’ve always rewatched old clips from LA Frock Stars because I love Doris and The Way We Wore so much, so I feel incredibly blessed to now have this channel! So much love ❤️
I am obsessed with the boots. When I was a little girl I wanted white, "go-go " boots so bad . Thank you for the wonderful memories ! The Courrege ensemble is so stunning it makes me want to cry.
Every Time I watch , I have a new favorite episode!! Paco Rabanne is so unfairly lost or certainly missed when look at fashion icons..he was Revolutionary & was / is one of the top of the top designers in history !! Thank you for this video.. As He was by far one of the best!! Thank you so much for showing such amazing historical pieces. & For mentioning Paco Rabanne !! Luvv you More than my luggage Doris!! LoL
I am very grateful to you for sharing your extensive knowledge.🙌 Thank you for teaching us such interesting information and history. I would love a video about scarves. So many designers & fibers used in these accessories. I bet you have some amazingly stunning scarves.💗 Have a beautiful day.
I would love for you to talk about a trend that has come back from the 70's you know the "prairie girl" trend. I've been in love with it and I would love for you to show some pieces and talk about some designers who had that look
I so love your channel. I grew up in the 60's and 70's. My father insisted on me learning to sew. I really appreciate the fashion and design of all these pieces your are showing us. You're inspiring me to get out my sewing machine and get busy. I've got quite a collection of vintage patterns. thank you so much
That "Show Off" dress at the end - STUNNING! Wish I were tall enough wear the beautiful gowns you have shown us. Can't wait for the interview series!!! This will be super fun to watch! (P.S: I know you are wearing a mic but I am struggling to hear you with the volume up as far as it will go - this is just an FYI, please do not take this as criticism or negative in any way.) Thanks to you and your team, love the content!
I love the idea of interviews, at a future time, being included. I enjoy The Way We Wore videos both as entertainment and education. Thank you to all who assist in its production.
I make chainmail and metal clothing for a living so this video was so amazing and inspiring to see!!! I just adore this channel so much and i had such a lovely evening drinking tea and binge watching you videos!♥
I think I found which movie the last dress was in. Ruth Hussey wears it during a wedding scene in "H. M. Pulham, Esq" from 1941. Robert Kalloch was the costume designer. You can see a pic of it here: www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/during-a-scene-of-the-movie-h-m-pulham-esq-directed-by-king-news-photo/158743668
I happened upon a vintage Pierre Cardin leather jacket. It’s very well worn so likely has little monetary value, but I can just tell it’s exquisitely made. The size limitation of leather pattern pieces was used to its advantage and the geometry is to die for. Thank you as always for sharing!
Can’t wait to hear more on the history of the last piece, I’m really interested in the history of film . All the amazing clothes designed for this period especially from 1930, to 1960 . Wonderful informative video , thanks 🤗
Hey Doris, thanks so much for the amazing content. personally i would love to see a video that that features pieces that aren't from famous designers but lesser know more obscure pieces/designers
great appreciation for her general knowledge on the pieces she curates: it would be interesting to do a segment on garments that need to be in museums.
It’s always such a pleasure to see that you’ve posted a new video, Doris! I love that you’ve done this video on Rabanne, Cardin and Courrèges; their futurist takes on fashion during the ‘60s were incredibly influential and their designs remain relevant even in 2019!
I always wait for new upload.. I hope you feature vintage atelier versace.. Gianni era please 💗💗💗 and Schiaparelli creations too💗💗 and also edith head designs 💗💗
Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing so much info. When I saw the photo of Ruth Hussey I did a double take, I honestly had not been familiar with her but I just recently purchased a vintage reverse painted art deco picture frame and the picture in it is of her!
Ethel Kennedy, wife of Senator Robert Kennedy, wore a lot of Courreges as many photographs attest. Love your videos. P.s. I watched ‘The Women’ just last night - a fashion extravaganza! I would be wearing white gloves handling those treasures.
hey Doris, thanks so much for the amazing content ;-) personally i would love to see a video that that features pieces that aren't from famous designers but lesser know more obscure pieces/designers thanks again!
that pink cardin faux trapunto! whoa! and the viny coat is so vuitton now with nicholas! i think he may have even licensed kitchenware at some point if i remember reading that somewhere =]
the courreges without the jacket is very princess di! and wow the sequin dress and boots! yeah, u have to be beamed to the party so u don't sit in a car. or the party has to be sequin walking distance lol
I could see Joan Crawford sexily slither across the screen in the Spotlight dress at the end, no question! It's definitely a piece that deserves attention.
I love your videos, so interesting and definitely my time to relax. It’s my dream to visit your store, I’ll have to plan a trip to LA just to see your beautiful collections in person.
What an incredible gift you were given!! How in the world would one possibly drape heavy slipper satin right at the hips & not make the wearer look (I'll be nice) very pear shaped? I guess that's why I'm not a designer. One of your wonderful viewers located the movie in which it appeared. It's H..M. Pulham, Esq. It was released in 1941 & starred Hedy Lamar and Robert Young. Directed by King Vidor. If I find a filmography that lists the designer, I will come back & edit to include it. The gowns for the film were designed by Robert Kalloch. You have an incredibly generous friend! I would love to see you interview her!I
That Ruth Hussey gown is just divine. She was in "Fast And Furious" 1939 and in the classic "The Philadelphia Story" but I do not know where she wore this gown.
Such wonderful and informative vintage fashion content - I love it! It's EXTREMELY hard to hear though. Have to turn up volume all the way and sit within a foot or 2 of the speakers.
Doris I’ve always been a big fan of you and your staff and your store. I think you have an amazing selection and I would love to be able to shop there someday. I really like Victorian fashions, especially CF Worth. Could you do a show someday on the influence that he had and still has over fashion today and how he has inspired some designers and their modern take on his ideas? I would really be interested in hearing what you have to say!
I just discovered your channel and am delighted with the find. It's great when you place the garment in history. Truly you are preserving history, art, craftsmanship or craftswomanship. I love fashion but first of all I am a seamstress; therefore please show more of the inner construction of your garments. Like people, the real beauty is on the inside. A well crafted crafted garment is as well done on the inside as the outside. Who wants to pay big dollars for a dress and see hanging threads and ugliness as they slide it on? More time showing the labels too please. But anyway what a lucky gal you are to have found your niche. More please!
So informative...love watching your videos. Thanks to everyone who makes them possible. I wondered if you received your Deco Japan book and had a chance to look at it. Also, love your top in this video. I was curious if you could include info about the clothes you wear. Keep up the good work!
Great educational series! Maybe it's my computer but I am having a hard time hearing you - you have a very soft voice. It would be great if you had a better microphone. Also I would love to have you do a series on your jewelry and another series on your accessories. Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos ! I am thinking about working in fashion and until now I was only getting interested in les grandes Maisons as Chanel, balmain, givenchy, Hermes and Dior but I think I will do some research about fashion designers. Greeting from France !
that rabanne dress and the barbarella trivia! the sort of jumper dress with the star must be supercute when wore too! and i would love to have been around when the kits were sold! chic subversion! it's like vivienne westwood telling people she encourages hacktivism of clothes =]
I may be late on this, but it all of a sudden hit me. I know that Show Off dress. It’s from HM Pulham Esquire. I should send you a still on Instagram of it in the movie. I found a couple... I was like... I know this dress... childhood summers spent watching old movies
Waldorf Olsen youvare so sweet to write and believe it or not- we figured it out a little while ago. It was designed by Robert Kalloch- a Hollywood costume designer with little name recognition. It if you IMDb.com his name- OMG! See excerpt below and many thanks! Bespectacled, academic-looking costume designer, who did his best work during the heyday of Columbia screwball comedy (1932-40). Particularly memorable and evocative examples of his creative flair are Claudette Colbert's outfits for It Happened One Night (1934), Irene Dunne's in The Awful Truth (1937); and Rosalind Russell's for His Girl Friday (1940). Kalloch began his career as a designer of high fashion gowns for royalty, the social elite and revue stars, working for leading British couturiere (and 'Titanic' survivor), 'Lucile', aka 'Lady Duff-Gordon' (1863-1935). At the height of his international fame, Columbia boss Harry Cohn brought Kalloch to Hollywood as his number one dress designer, in order to elevate the status of his company vis-a-vis the 'big five' studios. Kalloch served briefly at MGM (1941-43), then freelanced and died relatively early, aged just 54. Kalloch was known as an extremely timid personality, whose many phobias included being in an upright position, while riding in the back seat of a motorcar.
I just love these items, and the story's behind them all!! I've watched those movies-including the ones with Ruth Hussey!! Gorgeous details! I must make a coat like that!! Wonderful and glorious fabrications and designs! So, so interesting to know more about the designer's-and of course the tidbit about "The Beatles" suits!! (big fan) Thank you for sharing!! :+)
I learn a lot from your videos, I buy clothes for resale and I love to get great vintage finds! Your audio is very low though and it's difficult to hear everything you say.
I have had a 10 year slump, lost my interest for fashion and vintage. Thank you for renewing it again 👙👚🧥👠👙👗🥿👡👢👜🕶
I would love to see a video on vintage lingerie, nightgowns and sleepwear!!!!
Oh yes
Yes omg yes
👏👏👏👏
Dear Doris, love your shop and the videos! Please keep more coming, update as often as you can :)
Just a minor suggestion: the microphone volume is a bit too low, I have to tune up to 100% to hear everything you say. Maybe double check the sound for future videos? Many thanks!
hi, yes we have similar observation after watching all of the videos, we wish the volume of the mic be improved, thanks!
I love this show i use it to relax at the end of a long day
I loved LA Frock Stars and am so glad you decided to do this! You are so knowledgable and passionate about what you do, and it's great to see.
Oh my god, Doris, that show-off dress! What a SCORE! I can’t wait to see what you find out about it! And the Courrèges pieces... the tailoring. It’s so precise!

Please continue with these fabulous videos! I could listen to Doris talk about fashion for weeks on end!
I am obsessed with the boots. When I was a little girl I wanted white, "go-go " boots so bad . Thank you for the wonderful memories ! The Courrege ensemble is so stunning it makes me want to cry.

You are a true historian of fashion thanks for another great video!!!!!!
Wow. The Ruth Hussy gown is sensationally lovely.
I so love your channel. I grew up in the 60's and 70's. My father insisted on me learning to sew. I really appreciate the fashion and design of all these pieces your are showing us. You're inspiring me to get out my sewing machine and get busy. I've got quite a collection of vintage patterns. thank you so much
I love mid to late 60s fashion, the colors, the shapes, all of it was so fashion forward...
That "Show Off" dress at the end - STUNNING! Wish I were tall enough wear the beautiful gowns you have shown us. Can't wait for the interview series!!! This will be super fun to watch!

Love the topic, Doris! I would love to see a piece about some of your most surprising and rare finds!!

Hey Doris,

I want my model’s figure back and one overnight in your shop so I can try every thing on! Especially the last piece.
Yes to the interviews, please! That would be amazing!
great appreciation for her general knowledge on the pieces she curates: it would be interesting to do a segment on garments that need to be in museums.
It’s always such a pleasure to see that you’ve posted a new video, Doris! I love that you’ve done this video on Rabanne, Cardin and Courrèges; their futurist takes on fashion during the ‘60s were incredibly influential and their designs remain relevant even in 2019!
The metallic dresses are works of art . I am reminded of beer tab curtains people crafted from pull top cans. 😀
Fabulous, Mrs Doris, comme toujours...
That satin silk cream color dress is sooo beautiful, im drooling
Love that Paco Rabanne! To die for. I was expecting Anita Pallenberg pictures of her wearing that!
A wealth of knowledge....thank you! Can't wait for the next episode Doris.

I love your channel. As a dress maker myself it is always interesting to see the insides and detail finishes on vintage garments.
Ngl. I knew Pierre Cardin was a designer but had only ever seen his fragrances. His designs are waaaay more fabulous than i expected.
So glad you made a channel! I just love your knowledge and passion!

I'd love to see a video on the Antwerp Six if you have the stock! Thanks for showing us all the great treasures.
i love watching, but with my volume all the way up, I can barely hear you.

Please do the interviews. Let these stories be heard by a wider community.
Doris, you are the BEST! Is there also a Rudi G special coming if you now reteaching the 60's? XX
Love this video ❤️
Barbarella was a classic - funny, campy, and sexy.
I agree.
I learn a lot from your videos, I buy clothes for resale and I love to get great vintage finds! Your audio is very low though and it's difficult to hear everything you say.
I loved his perfume in the 70's. "Cardin de Pierre Cardin" sad when it was discontinued.
I had the chance to see Jean-Paul Gauthier exhibition, i would like to see the piece that you have. I always enjoy watching 🇨🇦🇲🇶
