    A part at 12.18 was cut out where I talk about Hedi Slimane unfortunately due to copyright reasons.
    The pinned comment includes what was cut out but if you'd like to go and watch that part, here is

    The transition from Ye to Virgil's LV got me teared up a little not gonna lie. Plus points for the Junya explanation and including HBA in the picture somewhere there. This is literally one of the most important fashion video in youtube.

    I really like how in depth you went whilst still keeping it concise. I think it's really important for people who care about modern fashion to understand it's history and this really helps us to understand why fashion trends happen even in the mainstream.

  • @fashionlover4
    @fashionlover4  ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Sooo a clip of Hedi Slimanes Dior Homme FW03 collection that had 97 views on TH-cam was claimed so I had to remove the whole segment from the video which kind of ruins the continuity..
    Anyway here's what it said so it makes sense. Nothing was really happening visually on screen just showing the collection so I don't really mind cutting it out, but if you would like to see it, I left a link in the description to the uncut video. Or you can just read what I had to say below instead.
    The cut happens at 12:18 where it skips to the style zeitgeist magazine cover.
    "Hedi Slimane was doing the opposite in youthful menswear with Dior Homme. His AW03 collection epitomises
    his unapologetic edgy rock and roll inspired looks. Similar to Raf, Hedi offered an alternative to the younger generations, he presented a more mainstream casual
    look on younger skinnier models which related more to the average younger man than the jacked chiseled models of other brands. Hedi Slimane's skinnier looks
    were becoming a massive success and with the backing of a huge fashion house like Christian Dior he catapulted into the mainstream. He was one of the first
    designers to reach a much wider audience outside of fashion diehards and I'd say he's responsible for getting a lot of guys into fashion in the first place
    which is possibly one of the hardest things to accomplish with menswear, just getting men to take that first step and take some interest in fashion. Hedi
    Slimane probably had the widest reach in the 2000s with his clothes.
    By this time many new styles had been established and were being remixed by many brands that hadn't come with the ideas first themselves. Over the next
    10 years, there wasn't much variation in the mainstream for menswear fashion but there were a couple of notable underground brands that started to
    gain traction, particularly in online menswear fashion forums like stylezeitgeist"

    I think overlooking Hedi Slimane is a bit of an injustice... his influence on everyday wear is absolutely crucial. Before him, wearing something form fitting (ie acknowledging your body through your clothes) wasn't really accepted. He's the one who led us down the path of accepting that men too can be looked at for their bodies, and though it obviously led to a lot of issues for men too, it was freeing in a big way. Plus, he was basically the biggest change that happened to men's formal wear in decades.

    No runway shows of Ralph Lauren, nor his lifestyle ads. He adapted British prep school looks to the American lifestyle. Ivy League became a very popular style of the American east coast student population. Many of the items taken from their rich parents. Button down shirts, sack suits, Brooks Brothers, Murray's Toggery Shop, Nantucket Reds, Navy blazers with brass buttons, Tommy Hilfiger we're seen everywhere. Armani? Saville Row? The nautical lifestyle clothing, boat shoes, loafers, equestrian, polo. British Barbour jackets? I remember the 70's rock musicians and their colorful clothing. It tricked into bell bottoms for the youth, yellow t'shirts, yellow Harrington jackets. Thank you for your efforts. 40's and 50's movie stars are worth mentioning. Some of the men and woman were so elegant and well dressed. They inspire me today to dress my best whenever I leave the house.

    I loved this video because of how informative it was to where the base of fashion came from but also , at the same time I’m so glad you touched based on steetwear and how Kanye is the one to really build it on, and then wrapping it up with Virgil’s best show, it’s crazy because I got into fashion as a og carti fan in 2015 and now being 22 I have the framed image in my room above my bed of carti walking the runway of that show, while he was also the first and last look of the show. Crazy but loved this more than I can say

    the Raf Simons FW01 show is exactly what youth fashion looks like current year. Punk x hiphop = Opium. Also, with that metal frame they used on the runway, it must've been the main inspiration for that one Playboi Carti Rolling Loud set.

I've watched every video you've made (well, listened while working on stuff) and it makes me pumped to engage in all forms of creativity. Keep making stuff bruh, hope this introduces you into the world of fashion beyond a commentary perspective (like, gets you a fully-fledged dream career in the field you're passionate about).

      This is not completely true. HL 1998 show was indeed the first time a runway was shown over the internet, but you still needed to go to the store to get the garments. Net a porter launched the same year (I’m fairly certain) and that would be the first e-commerce fashion website we had.

    I didn't get influenced by shows really, but more by going out skating in berlin and 2000s skate culture that I got to know through my uncle. Yes, I wear overly baggy jeans, and have hoodies with sleeves cut off aswell as the entire t-shirt over shirt thing. It's comfortable and awesome, goes extremely well with old, chunky, long lasting (very important) skate shoes.

    just to clarify, in ancient Egypt the concept of fashion wasn't present yet, exactly because nobody could really copy the monarchs and because of that nothing styles never changed within the 3000 years of ancient Egypt. fashion only began between the Middle Ages the modern period, because it bothered the monarchs to be copied so they changed their clothing periodically.
    so yeah, fashion wasn't a thing in ancient Egypt. great video tho.

    funny that heels werent actually invented to make people taller, it was a shoe designed for riding horses, first worn by very wealthy men only for the activity, later men would wear them casually to showcase their status and the fact that their passion was riding horses and that they could afford a horse. well they were actually adapted from ancient egypt i belive, at the time (as always) worn to showcase wealth, later also worn by married women to show that they were married

    My favourite show was when I was at Primark waiting in line to try on a £5 polo shirt where in front comes out a middle aged man who was forced to try on the exact polo I was about to put on by his wife with a crying baby dangling from her arms. Man could not be bothered and looked as if he wanted to die on the inside while bickering to himself and quietly to his partner. Those are the kinds of shows that I live for.
