probably a mix of boho chic and indie sleaze!

What do you mean “is about to make it big”? 😂 Zara is already has sells with this collection

@@lorenecingala9580 it's been done. Late 80s-early 90s, the artsy crowd I was in had a very dramatic, Bohemian, romantic, and edgy style.

I don't feel like we were so into wanting to define and name an aesthetic, as long as we didn't look preppy or mainstream, we were golden.

Unfortunately so is the body aesthetic :/

I was really surprised that she was left out, she was a huge influence on this style trend.

Not shocking. Being over a size 0 was seen as overweight. I'm so happy that it's changed!

Yes I remember this too, it occurred to me that many y2k looks only looked good on a very skinny frame, even if you were generally considered slim it still wouldn't be small enough to pull off the look, especially low rise pants.

I loved her so much at that time.

@@virgoyogini5377 I still rock it!

... this was a massive error

To be a 2000s boho It Girl? Human. To make a video explaining the aesthetic a full two decades later? Divine. Just thought I’d invoke her in the comments at least x @@aestheticsexplained9639

Romani, I think

The term is often misused! Appropriation used to refer to the practice of using cultural objects/motifs/etc completely divorced from their original context to turn a profit. Ie, selling turkish coin jewelry, but avoiding the label on the item itself. Selling beaded items clearly taken from indigenous american cultures, but mass produced in china and not made by indigenous craftsman who should be the ones profiting from their own culture if anyone is... It IS offensive to see one's religious practices commodified and made trendy by foreigners! But on the other hand, partaking in things that other cultures invite us to partake in is a great experience :) It's all complicated, nuanced, and situational and we don't take enough time to really discuss why the term even came to be as the result of real harm, so it gets misused and misconstrued

⁠@@alyssaghalambor4212that makes no sense. Culture itself is a reinterpretation or mixture of other trends. Nothing is 100% original, as it always has a predecessor. You can’t have culture without appropriation. An example is black hip hop clothes. If a white persons uses it, you would say it’s appropriation, but trousers were brought by barbarians in high Middle Ages. Can’t you see the absurdity? Fortunately culture is not a private property, but open to everyone that wants to embrace it

Ja, but this nasty intersection between capitalism (like no indigenous artists were promoted by any of these women) and the fact that most of these ‘it girls’ were white, western and privileged…makes ‘cultural appropriation’ more than appropriate in this case. Appropriation is a offshoot of colonisation - I think the term you’re looking for is ‘cultural appreciation’ which is a different approach. But these 2000s girlies were appropriating!

@@ps7348 Precisely what I came here to say - the videomaker keeps claiming things as being Romani -- when my first thought upon seeing them is 'oh this looks Slavic/Balkan/Turkish/Greek to me'. E.g. the vests in 7:28, and the stacking bracelets.

I think what she’s saying is you can appropriate something, i.e. you can gravitate towards, appreciate, and incorporate the styles of dress of other cultures, while also avoiding stigma and persecution because of those styles of dress
