I'm soooo inspired by the costume design in Dune. Especially lady Jessica's style on Caladan and the various Bene Gesserit costuming. So regal and beautiful, it makes me want to do a sewing project again and get into dyed silks

apocalyptic is the aesthetic I've loved but could never find a label for! and I'm a crocheter/knitter so I can finally look for some pieces I can replicate, my wardrobe is thanking you

I've always had a real passion for post-apocalyptic fashion and Rick Owens, urgh, love it. But, I've always struggled making it look authentic being 5'2" and having curves; imo, the dystopian look works best on waif-like physiques, so I do struggle to make it work on myself. I love the idea of Dieselpunk, but it very quickly becomes what I feel is quite tacky/cheap looking when you start hot-glueing things onto corsets and stuff. I find it a bit too costumey/cosplay most of the time which isn't my style. Let's just say I'm still working on how to incorporate the dystopian look into a 1950s silhouette lol. Great video, as always x

Some more inspiration for Apocalyptic Punk: Tank Girl and Borderlands video game series,

i personally do not have a dark aesthetic.. i gravitate to beachy /supermodel type style … but my husband!! he has alwaysss had a dark aesthetic which i’ve always admired. i am getting inspired with these videos to incorporate these looks fr myself.

Kid me was Obsessed with Padme's entire wardrobe

I went to Morocco recently and it got me reviving my love of Medieval aesthetics which then led me down a rabbit hole of falling in love with Medieval Futurism which is basically the same as Avant Apocalypse. Finding videos on these styles is tough. So glad I caught this one.

Great video! Never realised that some of Miyazaki's work is solarpunk. For those looking to buy some clothes, H&M's soon to be released capsule collection with Rok Hwang looks very much at home with some of the aesthetics we saw in this video!

post-apocalyptic fan here .. I tend to gravitate towards streamlined monochrome cyber looks .. but then I always feel too "pointy" and feel the need to add a cozy chunky knit or flowy shawl to get back to my natural essence .. I had no idea avant apocalypse existed and I am so very gratefull that you brought it up here! it is just perfect! .. dieselpunk is my new fave aesthetic to look at but probably only admire :D

I hadn’t heard of Decopunk but the word just drew my attention. So after some quick research I think for Decopunk inspo specifically, Disney Atlantis animated movie is perfect! It’s the right time period and everything being set in 1920 (iirc) and even the animation style has the sharp and clean lines of art deco.

I actually just bought a few pieces from Taro's Wish which is a secondhand store today, I think she coined the term 'Romantic Wasteland' and I am ALL for that!

Great video, thank you so much. I was very attracted to Dune costumes, colors and photography. Especially those priestesses from Bene Gesserit, veils coverig their tatooed faces, pearls, ranges of golden chains around their hips. And Timothée Chalamet just as he is. ❤

Dieselpunk... yes please. I find that 1930s/40s styles are way easier to do. Loose waves, red lips with stripes and leather. But "lazy apocalyptic" has a special place too lol. I still have my diy wasteland weekend pants and get compliments whenever i wear them :) Throw some pirate and armor in the mix and I'm happy 😊 Good video 🖤

omg so excitted for this!

Really loved this video! I was one of the ones who requested post apocalyptical fashion in your last video and you nailed it so well! Thank you!🙏🏻

You're my favorite YT fashion place! Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos.

I recently discovered that my style suits more into the category avant garde and now you made this video!!! I think Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake and Ann Demeulemeester works can be put into one of these categories

Hello again, Silky! So sorry that I've been absent from some of your uploads. Alas, I've been super busy the last few weeks. Life is what it is when ya get ultra busy. Once again you've made some _VERY_ good, well made & interesting fashion collages. With well spoken and nicely shown off pics. I also appreciate with how you allow them to be on screen longer & to be viewed without rushing or adding in too loud music into the final mix. Compared to other fashion & sub culture KZfaqrs, you provide a lot of very good content.👍 I also appreciate a text based shout out of Dark City (1998). Alex Proyas two 'big' titles of The Crow (1994) & Dark City are such unique films. It's a shame that his career never got truly bigger past cult status.🤔I always loved how his films looked & were scored.🖤🕸🦇

I like the apocalyptic style for practicality. It can be really good for all day outdoor music festivals- more comfortable and practical in the hot outdoors than a victorian ballgown or latex, etc.. It can incorporate cargo pockets and other military details which are very practical. Make your own blend of Utilitarian/industrial/sci fi. I recently saw Gary Numan in concert (opening for Ministry) and his band has really striking stage looks with a post apocalyptic flavor. Including skirts on the male guitar and bass players that I want to DIY. (some videos from the concert on mychannel)

I love your videos. I've noticed that a lot of the things I've saved to my Pinterest for knitting inspiration are Avant Apocalypse. I did not know about this style. I also did not know about decopunk, but I like Artdeco, so It is a match.

Yes I’m excited about this one! I was actually going to ask if you could make a dark space-sci-fi style guide and this is pretty close. One of my favorite aesthetics.

Keep up the great work!

I looove this. Thanks for making it!

Great video keep up the great work 👍

ahh, so good!! i love the og witchy, occult styles but the apocalyptic styles were prob my fave in this video, great work tyy

Fantastic, love every style that you covered 🌸💖

I get excited when you upload something new. I looove your videos! Xo.

I got a lot from this. My personal favorite of the 3pillars/5muses is siren, and probably avant apocalypse out of the dystopian types.

OMG Yessssssss… I was hoping for that aesthetic. Can’t wait 🎉 Thank you Silky Mochi for your hard work and dedicated passion it’s appreciated.

Love the Solarpunk & Cyberpunk styles the most. Fabulous video as always and I enjoyed it as much as the dark creatures/spooky one💖

Okay I left a comment on a different video, and said I would go back to lurking, but I had to say how well-timed this video is! This is such a cool concept, and you're bringing it to life in a way that can be done for fun and fashionably in our world. I now know what Treasure Planet and Nausicaa count as, I love those so much, even if I wouldn't wear it myself. It gets my mind whirring at possible art ideas, well done! ♥🖤

Thank you this is amazing! When I was 20, Suckerpunch was my ultimate style icon movie!

Soooo cool! Super interesting take, as usual ❤ I tend to prefer the more fantasy side (witch and vampire) but I'll die sure try to implement some of your suggestions

Yesss I love this video! Apocalyptic punk is literally the aesthetic I love and wish I could look like that all the time

Girl what!! You are reading my mind at this point

Love your channel! it's so underrated!

Love this take!

I feel like I just learned so much 🥰 my personal style has been evolving so I was excited to see if there were any new elements I could add. Suckerpunch is also one of my favorite movies and I didn't know that style was called diesel-punk. So I'm excited for the deep dive I'm about to do on it ❤

Yes! I’m so excited for this one! Cyberpunk lets gooo! Super curious about the other styles too 😊

I love my nature and supernatural vibes the most but 1960s space age definitely takes up space in my dream closet. I love mod silhouettes, love aliencore, and I love glitzy glittery glam things. It’s just such a great look to me. Avant Apocolyptic is second 😁 This video was so well made, I’m so happy you did this it feels like a surprise gift lol. I learned a lot, Thank you Melissa!!! 🩸🕷️🥀💿🪲

I'm definitely more inspired by witchy / vampire / haunted doll aesthetics, but I also like steampunk a lot :) All in all I love watching your videos regardless of the aesthetic as each one has something interesting to offer 🖤

Hmmm, hell yeah I’m so excited

Can’t believe I missed this upload. Great video! I love witchy nature styles but I also love dark cyber styles too. I have a few velvet and lace renaissance inspired type pieces in my wardrobe that are a lighter color palette but I never wear them out. I don’t feel comfortable being overly feminine in public. I have dresses that I’ll wear in my house that have never seen the light of day. It would be really neat if you did a video on how to make overly feminine outfits a bit more masculine or muted to balance them out.

Brilliant

The Darker Ways brand has that apocalyptic feel to it.

I feel like Bloodborne's aesthetic would fit in greatly here, I just don't know where exactly? Dark Steampunk? Dark Dieselpunk? Thoughts?

SHUT UP OMG

Loved this one! Thanks for taking your time to cover it! I see solarpunk got nested into apocalyptic, but sadly there aren't many references as the other sci fi styles :P it reminds me of octavia butler's "parables" or cherry dimaline's "the marrow thieves". For both apocalyptic and avant apocalyptic I would also add the brazilian artist João Queiroz (@Q1ROZ), and the brazil based brand Nalimo, by indigenous fashion designer Dayana Molina.
