My mom interned for Stephen Sprouse in the 1980s! She got to auction off some pieces that she was given after her internship was over. They’re now displayed in the contemporary museum of art in Minneapolis (can’t remember the actual name rn) for an exhibit honoring him ❤️
I know. There is a short clip online that blew my socks off : www.benjaminshine.com/interviews/ That’s just one that I saw online. What an amazing talent!! Thanks for your interest and thanks also for taking the time to comment! Best wishes. Doris
Fashion is an art, sometimes I visit a boutique just to see the masterpieces, I know I cannot afford them, but they are worth seeing, just like a museum. Love to see you better each video, Sol
I am an artist I worked briefly in a fashion business the woman really only made one style slip dresses...and she let me paint one of a kind designs onto them up and down the body I think after watching your show I am going to do that on a white velvet dress I found in a Goodwill see if I can turn it into ART
As someone whose background is art history I was absolutely thrilled by the content of this video! Such amazing pieces from iconic artists & designers with so much history behind them. Wonderful presentation! I hope you’re able to do more episodes in the future on this topic!
My wife and I love watching your videos, Doris. I am a pastor. In seminary, I began taking other students to thrift stores only to discover I could learn about men's clothing and begin a resale business. Now my interest has turned to learning about art. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your passion.
What a great way to supplement your income and to contribute to helping Mother Earth! Thanks for your interest Marcus and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Be safe and be well! Doris
Hello Madame Day, congratulations on yet another interesting and fascinating video. As a matter of fact the recognition of Fashion as an Art Form is everyday stronger. I live in Montreal and we have had some fantastic shows where de designer has been presented as an artist. Yves Saint-Laurent, Gaultier, Dior, Balenciaga, Mugler are some of the big names with solo exhibitions, not just as collaborators or inspired by others, but as accomplished artists themselves at the Musee des Beaux Arts and the McCord Museum in town. The creative process is similar as that on other art disciplines such as painting, sculpture, architecture. Fashion, Haute Couture, involves the development of a concept, the illustration is the first step, the craftmanship involved in cut, confection, finishes, and so on are part of that knowledge. In France there are all the artisans "metiers d´arts" working on feathers, embroidery, lace, etc. that are essential on the final product. So, yes Fashion is Art! Thank you for your contribution to the divulgation and recognition of Fashion.
Thanks for your very informed comment Luis. You’re blessed to be in a city that has so many museums that value the importance of fashion and costume. The Royal Ontario Museum is not too far from you and the curator there always does great exhibitions. Thanks foe taking the time to comment. You are obviously involved or deeply passionate about fashion or both! I appreciate your interest! Doris
Doris, you look wonderful! Praying your recovery is going well! I have learned so much from you, especially how fashion is not just about different clothing but it is also about art and being creative.
Thanks Chris. It’s a lot of fun for me to prep foe these videos because it’s not only a refresher course but I’ve learned so much as well! Thanks for your interest! Doris
Hiya Doris, I’m a new sub, no idea how I missed your fab channel! Watching this was very nostalgic for me as I knew Stephen Sprouse. He was so kind to us struggling shop assistants working in funky little East Village boutiques (most all of us pursuing careers in the arts & yes I include fashion in “the arts”) & used to give us a generous discount😀. Sadly the few pieces I’d saved up for disappeared shortly after acquiring them back in the 80s due to unscrupulous roommates and/or their friends. I’m far too trusting & much I held precious is gone from that time period… oh to have them still! As to Schiaparelli, it’s sad (angering as well) people today are so ignorant of fashion history that they attribute what she originally did to modern designers copying her. Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️ PS the black & white piece w/ skulls looks very similar print-wise to a dear artist friend very active in NY at that time, makes me wonder if he inspired the design (I don’t believe it’s his design & he died far too young a few years ago so I’ve no way of giving a definitive answer).
Hi Jet! You sound like the kind of person that I could sit and talk to for hours! What an interesting backstory you have. I really appreciate the fact that you have a good understanding of some fashion history and I can see that it’s something that you are also connected to and passionate about. Glad you found our channel and I hope that you may be able to come to visit the store sometime in the not so distant future. Wishing you all the best! Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 - I’m sure we could talk for hours! I started collecting/selling vintage in the 70s, studied fashion history since a child (I’m an autodidact, have a hard time learning traditional ways) as I was always fascinated by past designs. It’s literally in my blood as my great grandfather was a designer, so looking at old family pics likely piqued my interest. Thanks for your kind words, I’d love to visit the shop if I wasn’t on the other side of the country! J. 😘🧡
My heart skipped a beat when I seen this video come up! I love this video so much! I'm creating fashion sketches Doris! I have 1930's and 1940's influence mixed with my original art and design! Doris you are my fashion muse! The 4 ft. x 5 ft. portrait that I painted of you is the best painting that I've painted to date! I focusing mainly on designing fashion for now! I'm going to bring back art in fashion! Thank you for who you are and what you do, you beautiful bad azz warrior! Much Love!
Hi Eric! So happy to know you have continued to be inspired. Inspiration comes from so many places and it’s always fascinating to see how it gets translated. Hope all is well with you and your family. Blessings always Doris PS- and thank you so much for your complimentary and kind words!
Youre looking radiant, Doris. This was an excellent topic - I know of no other youtuber that really gets me excited about creative ideas and makes me think of a zillion things to explore and research like you do.
Thanks for all these compliments Sharon. I love inspiring people and it really pleases me to know how you have responded. Thanks for the feedback! Doris
Fashion is art and the body is the canvas and you, Ms Raymond, are the curator. Great episode, the Chagall dress was stunning. Used to have Stephen Sprouse in the 80s. Thank you for the hard work you are doing during your convalescence.
What a kind thing to say Michael. I really enjoy sharing so it feeds me and my energy. I completely agree with you about the body is a canvas and have actually said that many times. Thanks Michael! Doris
A littĺe late to this party,but always thrilled to be here and grateful that you look like your healing is going really well. Always inspiring! Loved so many pieces, the Ralph Rucci is remarkable so many innovative ideas. The dress inside is wonderfully mysterious, I love the abstract shredded quality of the floating pieces on the top of the dress and am trying to understand the construction. Many really compelling ideas conceptually and technically in that piece. I was an artist in NYC when Stephen Sprouse started. I remember standing with delight in front of a rack of his stuff and pining for irridescent green beetle sequin tights, still looking for them. I wish he would relaunch. Thankyou for his background I had no idea. Loved the potential Kiki Smith piece she has created her own jewelry line. Cocteau blouse magic! And the robe Wow!!! Delightful swim suit and dayglo first piece. I am still haunted by garments from other viewings which makes it difficult to not want to start making clothes. Love this channel and your magic, erudition, curiosity, humour, vision and love you put into it. Warm waves of love from Greece.
I love your comment Claire and these are the interactions that feed me and propel me to want to do more. You clearly have an affinity for fashion so I hope we are able to provide content that you enjoy. Many thanks for your interest and your comment! Be well. Doris
Fashion at couture level is an art form. Buying a unique couture piece IS a frugal buy. The quality of the garment means it will stand the test of time
Every time I watch your videos I’m taking notes & learning new stuff your vast catalog of knowledge, you just introduced me to Benjamin shine & I’m so grateful
As an art history graduate with desires to work as a fashion curator, this was a real treat!! Fashion to me is a form of wearable art and the clothing can be used to create the image (magazine editorials). Furthermore, when art and fashion collide is when some of the most memorable and ingenious designs are created and sometimes worn.
I adore Stephen Sprouse…such great collaborations of art and fashion. And it’s lovely to see you look so well. Hope you’re feeling great. Thanks for the great episode.
Again so happy you are well . I just love you so much. Could you do an episode on how to store and display vintage? Fabric to moths heat etc. I’m a male but I think I’m going to start collecting as art.
Dear, dear Doris. It’s lovely to see you looking better all the time. Thank you so much for being the generous inspirational soul you are. I love watching you, I have learned so much and been down so many memory lanes with you. Much gratitude and greater admiration from Zoe in South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🏻

Dear Doris, thank you very much for your amazing videos❤️I am watching your content for a while and I have deep respect to your knowledge of fashion, history and art and your nice, relaxing and sophisticated way you talk about it. Thank you so much, you are such an inspiration for me. I have started my small fashion history/analysis channel half a year ago, I made a video about Disney impact on fashion.

Fabric is another canvas for art, combine it with top craftsmanship and voila! Collectable, wearable art! 🌟 Thanks for another brilliant video Doris and team 💜
Thanks for your kind words Katherine and thanks also for acknowledging my team. I honestly could not do it without them. Hope we continue to provide Content you enjoy. Best regards to you! Doris
Love new video days! They're always so interesting and informative, I am learning so much and being inspired to be braver in my own fashion choices. Can't wait for the next one!
Love this comment Sarah! It’s so much fun to express yourself with what you place on your body. Your body is a canvas and I prefer to be a unique work of art. Thanks for your kind words and for your interest!! Doris
So much fun. Years ago when I did costumes I found an Ungaro witha face painted on it at good will. It was fabulous and i wish I had kept it. We never used it but I gave it to the actress. There is always more. Right? So happy to see you looking so good. Cheers!
Thanks Lilli! God- that sounds like an amazing piece. But I have come to realize that when you let something go- something inevitably will come to you and replace it. Wishing you all the best! Doris
Fashion is art! Art is fashion! Otherwise we would all be wearing a silver jumpsuit and white boots, like Brave New World! (Boring) Fashion defines us and we express ourselves through fashion.
The Cocteau and the Dufy are beautiful. I find it interesting how fabric can be printed. It truly is a art form as the material is like paint or watercolor.
I look forward to your new videos and watch them as soon as they are released. I always learn something new, and the items on display never cease to amaze! Thank you SO much!
Omg, that Benjamin Shine collaboration with John Galliano for Margiela is out of this world! To be able to do that with a single piece of tulle and then apply it to a garment - wow! Thank you for sharing the work of this incredible artist!
Hi Antoinette! Thanks for your kind words. I’m feeling better and starting to shed the pounds I gained from the steroids. It’s all so surreal!! I have not watched the Halston bio yet. I usually get home and am too tired to concentrate on a story line. I look forward to a time when I can. Thank you so much for continuing to watch our episodes!! I love this community of like-minded people and you are a part of it. With gratitude and good wishes- Doris
Love your videos! Keep them coming! As a designer with a love and knowledge of vintage I always learn many new things from your content. That doesn’t happen often and I am grateful and excited! Thank you!
Hi Doris! I was wondering if you watch Drag Race and if so, what do you think of the fashion? Most of the looks are inspired by vintage/high fashion pieces so I figured you would have some opinions!🥰🥰🥰
Hi Alden! Although I am a fan of Ru Paul and the messages and support he conveys, I have not been watching much television for a few years. I love how the girls really have fun making personal statements with their clothes, makeup and wigs. So that is absolutely something I respond to. I can’t even imagine how much money and time they spend creating their personas. But I am out of the loop on several seasons so I will refrain from giving you my opinion. But I like your observation! And agree the the past is definitely points of inspiration! Thanks for watching and thank you for taking the time to reach out Alden. Doris
I have my own style and that's how I dress, accessorize, and decorate my home. I absolutely think of fashion as art... and I love it all! I thoroughly enjoy fashion - street, ready to wear, and haute couture - current and vintage. Women's and men's. All of it. For me, you, dear Doris, and your awesome staff, are a gift that keeps on giving.... ;) Stay safe. Be well. From a very appreciative fan!
In my humble opinion... Fashion IS ART!! It comes from within & you take whats in your mind and make it reality... love your channel and am a HUGE fan...I can appreciate your passion for Fashion 💚
🦊🚬~wheww, I was too early.... I'm Soo glad I found your YT, I bought L.A. Frock Stars so long ago...and been starving for more ever since. *Subscribed* Obviously. Better fashionably late than obstinately early. Lesson Learned.🚬 as a side note, I could listen to you talk about that ONE piece for OVER an hour. In other words, I Luv you all, keep up the good work 🙂
@@thewaywewore7371 🤗I'm coming down to the store tomorrow iRL!!!!!! ~so if you have anything heavy or manly a fox can do... anything to support the team...I'm your huckleberry🦊or man, or fox... Or u know, I can just buy something, but that's so 'last season 😘cya
Yes- he is unique in that way. It’s wonderful to see designers that can cross into other mediums to express themselves. Thanks for your interest! Doris
Hi Doris, You're looking great ! I really enjoy learning about fashion from your channel,your " passion for fashion" shines through ! Is that Maxfield Parish shirt a "Huck A Poo" ? I bought my boyfriend a Huck A Poo shirt in the late 70's with an Aubrey Beardsley print on it, I wish I had that shirt,or at least a picture of it. Please take care of yourself. Happiness, Cindy
Hi Cindy. I’m Homw now so I can’t check the label of the shirt. I’m familiar with the Huckapoo label so perhaps that’s it. What a nice gift for your beau at that time!! So glad you enjoy our videos. It is a passion project and it’s really exciting for me to know the audience is as interested in the subject as I am. I am learning so much in preparation of the videos. Hope we continue to interest you. Kind regards- Doris
8:04 oh a lot of these cuts & prints remind me of the dresses I wore right after I graduated. My mother had a treasure trove of vintage. Sadly I couldn’t fit into all of it, held onto it just in case ha. But at least I was able to wear some throughout my 20’s 😅
wow that rucci! shame he is gatekept by fashion powers that be but he's doing fine. hope that really is a dufy! and benjamin shine's art must have been so hard for les petites mains to work on so if i had money i would get the margiela collab over a canvas any day! thankyou, doris 💜 ps it was nice that the thumbnail had ur full length look =]
Too kind Marvin. Yes- I hope it’s a Dufy print Yes- I would love a Margiela/Galliano/Shine piece and I would display it as a work of art. Thank you for your continued interest Marvin. You have been around since the beginning I believe. I truly appreciate it! You take care. Doris
The mans robe is fabulous. Yeah, back when they made some classy robes. Hope you’re feeling better and better. I sure do mis the weekly vids, but I pray you health returns to better than better.
Hi Jayene. Sorry about the reduction of videos but I need to do that until my stamina returns. I’m grateful for your obvious loyalty!! Stay tuned. You can’t keep me down. Hope you are well and starting to experience a little more of a “normal” life. Thanks! Doris
Love the art meets fashion cross over! 💚❤️💙💜♥️Looking great Doris! I’m having a nightmare over here with clothes moths! I have thrown away many beloved pieces. Do you have any advise?
YIKES! I’ve often said I could Never be a Buddhist practitioner because moths are my nemesis!! I use moth traps that are male pheromones. There are many available on Amazon and I don’t know which is the most effective. Where are you located? For your most special pieces there is a great re weaver here in LA. Alex’s Reweavers. They are reasonable and so a great job. Good luck! Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 )Thank you for the response. It helps not to feel quite alone through this process. I’m on the east cost. I’m going to subject my home though an invasive heat (expensive) heat treatment and I will continue to use the traps.
The thing with tulle ...it will disintegrate..... over time fall apart & crack.... for the loss of a better word........ Luv that you added men's clothing. Thank you......if I could afford I would buy the robe .. from you..but I am in NYC.........also wish these videos were longer .......
Doris, if I get out to LA, is your store open to the public now? My daughter and I would love to sometime do a road trip from NC and Denver to see your store. We're both vintage nuts.
I recognize the print on the white dress, the one with the cutout on the back. I used to have a Carven t shirt about seven years ago that has almost the same print. I have a picture me wearing it, but I don’t have the t shirt anymore. I donated it a long time ago.
When I was young I had a Francis Montesinos dress that now I look back and was an art piece all prints was outrageous, but not gross, as they were virgin Mary paintings, but it was done in a very tasteful way pity I just outgrew it and now no idea where it must be, this is art on clothing
@@thewaywewore7371 I could be wrong, but the print with the palm style leaves made the robe have a more tropical feel. Which, what could be more tropical than pineapples?! 😄
The subject matter for this video is the kind that should go on for hours and hours and hours I could not possibly get enough of this kind of video! Amazing 😻
Hi Beverly. I completely agree. I wanted to research more just because I love this particular subject. I will do it for myself and perhaps you should too. Consider this episode a taster T the buffet table of fashion. 😉 Thanks for your interest! Doris
My mom interned for Stephen Sprouse in the 1980s! She got to auction off some pieces that she was given after her internship was over. They’re now displayed in the contemporary museum of art in Minneapolis (can’t remember the actual name rn) for an exhibit honoring him ❤️
Wow Shannon. I bet she has some great insight into his work personality. What an incredible opportunity! Thanks for your comment.

The link Doris posted about him is mind-boggling. His creativity and skill are off the charts and I’d love to see his work in person.
Considering that there are tons of museums that have fashion collections amidst their art collections I would say that fashion is art
Fashion is an art, sometimes I visit a boutique just to see the masterpieces, I know I cannot afford them, but they are worth seeing, just like a museum. Love to see you better each video, Sol

😱OMG‼️ that Fantasia piece, alright, I'm coming down there ASAP☑️🛒💨
Is art fashion? I say yes. A quilt is art and in modern times (1960s and 1970s) have been made into some beautiful clothing.

Fabric is another canvas for art, combine it with top craftsmanship and voila! Collectable, wearable art! 🌟 Thanks for another brilliant video Doris and team 💜
Thanks for your kind words Katherine and thanks also for acknowledging my team. I honestly could not do it without them. Hope we continue to provide
Content you enjoy.
Best regards to you!
Doris
Thank you for another wonderful video. Stephen Spouse’s Graffiti line for Louis Vuitton is timeless- I treasure my Speedy! Stay well.
Just a great presentation! Thank you so much!
These certainly are pieces of art and they are definitely not to be worn by the shy! I always enjoy learning from you.
Thanks Linda. It’s fun to share this way!
Doris
Such an enjoyable episode! So great to see you doing what you love, and educating us at the same time. Thank you!
Beautiful
Love every single piece!! Thank you for sharing!!🙏❤
I love it when fashion uses art. Last season I purchased MSGM shirt using a Norbert Bisky painting.
Now I need to look that up. I’m not familiar with either names. Thanks for the lead!
Doris
Love new video days! They're always so interesting and informative, I am learning so much and being inspired to be braver in my own fashion choices. Can't wait for the next one!
Love this comment Sarah! It’s so much fun to express yourself with what you place on your body. Your body is a canvas and I prefer to be a unique work of art.
Thanks for your kind words and for your interest!!
Doris
Love to you Doris! The fabrics were beautiful and interesting. Thanks for such great historical fashion!
You are welcome Jennifer. Thanks for watching!
Doris
So much fun. Years ago when I did costumes I found an Ungaro witha face painted on it at good will. It was fabulous and i wish I had kept it. We never used it but I gave it to the actress. There is always more. Right? So happy to see you looking so good. Cheers!
Thanks Lilli! God- that sounds like an amazing piece. But I have come to realize that when you let something go- something inevitably will come to you and replace it.
Wishing you all the best!
Doris
I love the pieces in this
Fascinating as always. Glad you are doing well!
Love love love this!!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍
Thank you Doris for sharing🤎
Fashion is art! Art is fashion! Otherwise we would all be wearing a silver jumpsuit and white boots, like Brave New World! (Boring) Fashion defines us and we express ourselves through fashion.
Brave New World is super cool. I have several Cottweiler SS17 pieces that was used in production.
The Cocteau and the Dufy are beautiful. I find it interesting how fabric can be printed. It truly is a art form as the material is like paint or watercolor.
I look forward to your new videos and watch them as soon as they are released. I always learn something new, and the items on display never cease to amaze! Thank you SO much!
Omg, that Benjamin Shine collaboration with John Galliano for Margiela is out of this world! To be able to do that with a single piece of tulle and then apply it to a garment - wow! Thank you for sharing the work of this incredible artist!
Brilliant show, love that cape!!! Doris you look really well.
Thanks Jane. It’s a process but I feel better and better every week.
Doris
LOVE YOUR OUTFIT
Love the dresses on the mannequins!
Wow!! Looking amazing. I can see a difference. Did you watch the Halston bio?
Hi Antoinette! Thanks for your kind words. I’m feeling better and starting to shed the pounds I gained from the steroids. It’s all so surreal!!
I have not watched the Halston bio yet. I usually get home and am too tired to concentrate on a story line. I look forward to a time when I can.
Thank you so much for continuing to watch our episodes!! I love this community of like-minded people and you are a part of it.
With gratitude and good wishes-
Doris
Doris…you are amazing! Hope you are well. Cheers from Houston!
Thanks Orren. I am doing well and really appreciate your concern and interest.
Doris
That clip from Fantasia makes me nostalgic for "old-fashioned" animation. I have no use for CGI.
I absolutely prefer the analog way of doing most things. I mean seriously… look at the profession I have chosen. 😉
Doris
Love your videos! Keep them coming! As a designer with a love and knowledge of vintage I always learn many new things from your content. That doesn’t happen often and I am grateful and excited! Thank you!
I'm thinking about going down there...you'll know it's me when you see a fox in the store🦊💋
You are too cute for words!!😉
Gorgeous!
Omg I want that men’s robe. So chic.
Hi Doris! I was wondering if you watch Drag Race and if so, what do you think of the fashion? Most of the looks are inspired by vintage/high fashion pieces so I figured you would have some opinions!🥰🥰🥰
Hi Alden! Although I am a fan of Ru Paul and the messages and support he conveys, I have not been watching much television for a few years. I love how the girls really have fun making personal statements with their clothes, makeup and wigs. So that is absolutely something I respond to. I can’t even imagine how much money and time they spend creating their personas. But I am out of the loop on several seasons so I will refrain from giving you my opinion. But I like your observation! And agree the the past is definitely points of inspiration!
Thanks for watching and thank you for taking the time to reach out Alden.
Doris
I have my own style and that's how I dress, accessorize, and decorate my home. I absolutely think of fashion as art... and I love it all! I thoroughly enjoy fashion - street, ready to wear, and haute couture - current and vintage. Women's and men's. All of it. For me, you, dear Doris, and your awesome staff, are a gift that keeps on giving.... ;)
Stay safe. Be well. From a very appreciative fan!
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN DOING WEL,,,I LOVE YOUR SHOW! GREETINGS FROM AMSTERDAM,,
In my humble opinion... Fashion IS ART!! It comes from within & you take whats in your mind and make it reality... love your channel and am a HUGE fan...I can appreciate your passion for Fashion 💚
🦊🚬~wheww, I was too early....
I'm Soo glad I found your YT, I bought L.A. Frock Stars so long ago...and been starving for more ever since.
*Subscribed* Obviously.
Better fashionably late than obstinately early. Lesson Learned.🚬
as a side note, I could listen to you talk about that ONE piece for OVER an hour.
In other words, I Luv you all, keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you so much for your love and support!!
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 🤗I'm coming down to the store tomorrow iRL!!!!!!
~so if you have anything heavy or manly a fox can do... anything to support the team...I'm your huckleberry🦊or man, or fox...
Or u know, I can just buy something, but that's so 'last season 😘cya
@@thewaywewore7371 🌼🦊🌻Josey Wales had a *very* Happy Day, till next time💋💋💋
I Like the pieces like the Rucci which are intrinsically works of art, not collabs or using other artists as inspiration.
Yes- he is unique in that way. It’s wonderful to see designers that can cross into other mediums to express themselves.
Thanks for your interest!
Doris
Hi Doris, You're looking great ! I really enjoy learning about fashion from your channel,your " passion for fashion" shines through ! Is that Maxfield Parish shirt a "Huck A Poo" ? I bought my boyfriend a Huck A Poo shirt in the late 70's with an Aubrey Beardsley print on it, I wish I had that shirt,or at least a picture of it. Please take care of yourself. Happiness, Cindy
Hi Cindy. I’m Homw now so I can’t check the label of the shirt. I’m familiar with the Huckapoo label so perhaps that’s it. What a nice gift for your beau at that time!!
So glad you enjoy our videos. It is a passion project and it’s really exciting for me to know the audience is as interested in the subject as I am. I am learning so much in preparation of the videos.
Hope we continue to interest you.
Kind regards- Doris
8:04 oh a lot of these cuts & prints remind me of the dresses I wore right after I graduated. My mother had a treasure trove of vintage. Sadly I couldn’t fit into all of it, held onto it just in case ha. But at least I was able to wear some throughout my 20’s 😅
What a great way to get introduced to the fabulous world of vintage.
Thank you Doris for another amazing episode... learning so much everytime🙂 btw: Loooooove the man's robe♥️♥️♥️
The Cauteau
wow that rucci! shame he is gatekept by fashion powers that be but he's doing fine.
hope that really is a dufy!
and benjamin shine's art must have been so hard for les petites mains to work on so if i had money i would get the margiela collab over a canvas any day!
thankyou, doris 💜
ps it was nice that the thumbnail had ur full length look =]
Too kind Marvin.
Yes- I hope it’s a Dufy print
Yes- I would love a Margiela/Galliano/Shine piece and I would display it as a work of art.
Thank you for your continued interest Marvin. You have been around since the beginning I believe. I truly appreciate it!
You take care.
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 always a pleasure, doris! teecee xoxo
The mans robe is fabulous. Yeah, back when they made some classy robes. Hope you’re feeling better and better. I sure do mis the weekly vids, but I pray you health returns to better than better.
Hi Jayene. Sorry about the reduction of videos but I need to do that until my stamina returns. I’m grateful for your obvious loyalty!! Stay tuned. You can’t keep me down.
Hope you are well and starting to experience a little more of a “normal” life.
Thanks!
Doris
Love the art meets fashion cross over! 💚❤️💙💜♥️Looking great Doris!
I’m having a nightmare over here with clothes moths!
I have thrown away many beloved pieces.
Do you have any advise?
YIKES! I’ve often said I could
Never be a Buddhist practitioner because moths are my nemesis!!
I use moth traps that are male pheromones. There are many available on Amazon and I don’t know which is the most effective. Where are you located? For your most special pieces there is a great re weaver here in LA. Alex’s Reweavers. They are reasonable and so a great job.
Good luck!
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 )Thank you for the response. It helps not to feel quite alone through this process. I’m on the east cost. I’m going to subject my home though an invasive heat (expensive) heat treatment and I will continue to use the traps.
Again Thank you!💜💙❤️💚
Update: Heat treatment can’t be done.
Back to square one. 😢😢😢
The thing with tulle ...it will disintegrate..... over time fall apart & crack.... for the loss of a better word........ Luv that you added men's clothing. Thank you......if I could afford I would buy the robe .. from you..but I am in NYC.........also wish these videos were longer .......
💜💜💜
Doris, if I get out to LA, is your store open to the public now? My daughter and I would love to sometime do a road trip from NC and Denver to see your store. We're both vintage nuts.
Hi Sarah. Yes- we are open 7 days a week so we would love to see you. My family is in the Asheville area. Where are you?
@@thewaywewore7371 great to hear you're open! I live in Swannanoa just outside of Asheville. wow.
I believe the pattern on the men's robe is a very ripe breadfruit, which is a starch staple in Hawaii. Thanks DORIS!
this is unbelievable
Yes fashion is definitely art since it exist because of art fundamentals like shape structure colors or designs which makes every pieces unique.
I absolutely love your content.You are a real gift to garment history buffs
I recognize the print on the white dress, the one with the cutout on the back. I used to have a Carven t shirt about seven years ago that has almost the same print. I have a picture me wearing it, but I don’t have the t shirt anymore. I donated it a long time ago.
Hi. Hello. Howdy. I think art and fashion often go together for some. I think it is an individual gift. Thank you for what you do. It is interesting.
Hey!!
I've missed you.
When I was young I had a Francis Montesinos dress that now I look back and was an art piece all prints was outrageous, but not gross, as they were virgin Mary paintings, but it was done in a very tasteful way pity I just outgrew it and now no idea where it must be, this is art on clothing
I am not familiar with this designer/artist. Thanks for giving me a name to look up!
Doris
how about Iris Van Herpen???
I completely agree. I should have mentioned her. Can’t afford her pieces though.
Those are pineapples 🍍
💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
They look like pineapples 🍍 😊
I’ll take a look at it again. 🥴
@@thewaywewore7371 I could be wrong, but the print with the palm style leaves made the robe have a more tropical feel. Which, what could be more tropical than pineapples?! 😄
🍍
The subject matter for this video is the kind that should go on for hours and hours and hours I could not possibly get enough of this kind of video! Amazing 😻
Hi Beverly. I completely agree. I wanted to research more just because I love this particular subject. I will do it for myself and perhaps you should too. Consider this episode a taster T the buffet table of fashion. 😉
Thanks for your interest!
Doris
