Welcome! You should also check out my ongoing series exploring every runway show by Martin Margiela and the TONS of other runway analysis videos I’ve done 💫💫

He said in a comment that it wouldn't make a big difference on his income, cause you dont really get paid that much for views if you're a smaller channel.

yeah, seems pretty obvious to me - credit cards and razor blades and power suits just screams coke, right?

Coke in fashion

Dee Gee coke in every industry. Wall street is junior level in comparison to the fashion industry. Balenciage REFERENCED THEMSELVES. Damned fools 😂😂😂 the models n clothes are TERRIBLE. Made in China😳😶😳😶

Lara Kumuyi if you say so, get back to looking like wet newspaper Lara

Actually razor blades and safety pins as jewelry was kind of a *thing* in ~'88-'90ish. We made them ourselves by dulling real razors until the stores like Headlines (think wet-seal but 80's) Daljeets and NaNa's caught on and made faux blade jewelry to mass market. We mockingly called those stores "One-Stop-Punk_Rock" You could buy cheap punk accessories AND get a piercing. LOL

Icy miyaki teriyaki

HAHAHSJS YOU GOT HIM THERE MAN

He's real Icy tho

You should share some videos with them! I find that most people really do want to dive deeper into fashion but many, myself included for a long time, don’t really know how to Break the surface of it.

@@BlissFoster very true I can say the same for myself!

J M yeah but we can determine what shit is wack and whats not and this shit is beyond wack

@@n_aaal What about it do you not like? I mean I understand not liking it, but I would love to hear why. I think at the very least, the final 3 dresses of the collection are anything but wack... Would love to hear more beyond just a dismissal of it.

J M too abstract i can see the appeal but a lot of it is too overboard in trying to be creative. they try to do new things that people havent seen before and end up with a small crowd of people who get it and everybody else wondering why someone would spend $3k on a weird looking shirt jacket etc . im not bashing designer brands in fact im a huge fan of the offwhite aesthetic but i think its a bit much

@@n_aaal That makes sense! It is always very interesting to think about the reactions to clothing from inside and outside of the target audience. It can be very easy, in any field, to lose touch of what people on the outside think. Not that I think that should affect actions, but it is always interesting to take a step back. : D

I’m not sure why people look down on it in the first place tbh

Welcome! Happy to have you here! There’s so much excellent stuff to check out in the back catalogue and more good stuff releasing next week

@@BlissFoster that's my plan, deep dive into everything on here. subscribed for future videos too

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much, Peter. To be honest, I’m not sure why I’m the only one doing this. Seems like something that a lot of people are interested in. Thank you again for the kind words 💫💫

Hell yea!! I’m glad it’s useful for you 💫💫

Oh, how interesting! I think in fashion Trompe l'oeil is used more often than simulacrum. But what a wonderful insight!

I would disagree. Trompe l'oeil is a flat surface that trying to make an illusion of 3d object. In this case there is one object that tries to be another.

@@typedx Simulacrum definitely seems more applicable to the technique, however fashion houses seem to like to use Trompe l'oeil to describe that kind of print. I checked Balenciaga's listing for the item, and they describe it as "Trompe l'oeil viscose satin" but I agree that it isn't a perfect description of the method. It is very interesting how fashion has chosen to use that term over simulacrum. And thank you yet again for bringing up that they are not denim at all because I hadn't noticed on all the times I had watched the show!

@@JM-vd2zp thank you for pointing out to the Balenciaga official description. I think this is just "protocoled" term/standard used in fashion. In my opinion, Demna was inspired by fine arts / philosophy things. And this satin/jeans thing is another reason to think that many things in our modern world are not what they seem. Dunno it's just my interpretation.

@@typedx Yes yes yes! Trompe l'oeil has been bastardized horribly by fashion and it is absolutely mostly a protocol at this point. I would also agree that Demna builds off of arts movements and philosophy adapting them into the fashion world. And I also very much agree with your interpretation of it!

I know I'm not Bliss but I though I could share my thoughts on that show... In my opinion Dries is'nt a designer who I often find to have an overarching conceptual idea but rather he is one to focus on the idea of creating a person in the collection. In fact, this season Dries said that the character of this collection “really likes to play with clothes... He is not afraid of certain theatrical effects. He really wants to use his sexual power, and he wants, really, to enjoy that kind of playful decadence.” Based on the 'Dries' documentary, he seems to be very focused on fabric as a launching point for his collections, and I think that is supported in this collection. While there are some recurring themes of animal prints and furs, I think what we are seeing is largely just the fabrics that Dries thinks fits the man of the season, and not some overarching storyline or concept. Theres nothing wrong with that, it is just a very different kind of fashion analysis versus a McQueen or a Raf or a Kawakubo runway show, and one that does not allow as much 'in look 15, this is a statement on the ferociousness of the tiger but the softness of their fur, so the tiger is emblazoned onto silk' so much as a 'the man of the season is wearing the the tiger because he thinks it is a friskfully luxurious way to express himself.' Hopefully that gives a little thought about the collection, but I would love to hear why AW20 Mens, it was not a show that really stuck out to me for this past mens fashion week, maybe you can give me a reason to find some more love for it.

Thank you! You should check out the other runway show analysis videos! I have some of Raf, Rick, CDG, Craig Green, Iris Van Herpen, the list goes on 😊

@@BlissFoster i cant wait!! thank youuu for the amazing content :)

The far fetched ideas are the most interesting.

I really wish that you had contributed! Someone already said it, but the far-fetched ideas really are the best ones.

Don't be afraid! What thoughts did you have?

@@NidalMorra Some of the ideas that I had but never mentioned them actually made it to the video, haha. One of the models resembling Jeff Bezos, which at the time I thought to be a reach since I didn't really any other models resemble any big figures. Also the red suit jacket/dress that reminded me of Hillary Clinton's outfit, but again, in my head I was thinking that it was too much of a reach, haha.

Thank you so much, Liam! Welcome 💫💫

"I'm walking for Balenciaga!" "Are you sure that's a good thing?"

It definitely is relevant!! Thank you so much for sharing, Cici!

Thank you so much!! Glad you’re here! There’s tons more to explore, I have runway analysis episodes on Rick, Raf, tons on Margiela, CDG, Gucci, etc.

Absolutely. Big time overlap with these

I’m so excited! We’ll be seeing stuff from them extremely soon.

Hi @Nredup 82 ! I'm not Bliss but I think I can help you with this - I'm assuming you are talking about the 'Jaw Bone' Mouthpeices. I believe that there were only two ever made, one a female jawbone and one a male jawbone. They appeared three times in the Golden Shower collection in looks 18, 20, and 29, with 20 wearing the male jawbone and 18 and 29 both wearing the female jawbone (although I may have it swapped, it is not easy to tell the difference). The female jawbone was shown in both the Met and the V&A 'Savage Beauty' Exhibitions but the male jawbone only in the Met 'Savage Beauty' Exhibit. In December 2017, however, both jawbones were auctioned at Sotheby's for $25,000 each. So sadly, I do not think it possible for you to buy these - and it wouldn't even be a matter of money but the fact that it is impossible to find who is the current owner. However, it should be possible to make something similar. The techniques I would suggest would vary based on your price-point, I can provide two if you wish. The first, more expensive option, would be to commission a jeweler to make one. The method used by Shaun Leane was to carve jawbones in wax and cast them in aluminum. He then added two glasses like hooks to secure them to the ears. I would guess that this would be a very expensive process. The more affordable solution would be to 3D print a jawbone, of which there are files online, and attach two hooks to the parts on the sides. With careful painting, this would provide for a relatively accurate recreation of it. If you want more information, I would be more than willing to help. Shaun Leane is one of my favorite jewelers and perhaps my favorite collaborator of McQueen. But I hope this has at least given you a starting place. With love.

J M honestly has the answer here, I’m not sure I can add anything here. Best of luck!

@@JM-vd2zp thanks a lot for such a huge answer .

@@BlissFoster thanks dear Bliss.

You can take fashion seriously, but also to keep it fun and not too seriously. Enjoy life and at the end of the day, it’s just clothes.

Wow what an excellent observation! Great thought

The creator of the fashion house was indeed Spanish : Cristobal Balenciaga 💚⭐🎩

@@nikolassodiant2595 claiming that Balenciaga is French is like claiming that now Versace is American since the Michael Kors Group bought it....nonsense

@@Ramdom68 I think you need glasses my friend ....Read what i wrote.I said that the creator of Balenciaga was Spanish.But as a brand is being bought by another country , i guess it' s like someone' s nationality, it may change 😉

@@nikolassodiant2595 it doesn't change at all sweetie because in this case Balenciaga's designs were strictly linked to Spain...

@@Ramdom68 Balenciaga relocated to Paris in 1937.If you search online the brand is obviously refered to as a French brand created by a Spanish designer.Same for Kenzo, a French brand created by a Japanese creator 🙏🙏🙏

Good call 💫💫

I LOVED that show! Gotta knock out some other designers first, but I could easily see the channel circling back around to cover that masterpiece of a show
