This video also really nailed the cultural aspects of fashion! The discussion about how colonialism affected designs like paisley and silk is crucial. It's important to understand the historical context of our clothes. Also, I love how they talked about how gendered clothing is a social construct! Like, men used to wear heels and makeup - that’s wild! The rundown of fashion history from the 20s to now was super helpful. The fact that we are bringing back past styles now is interesting. It's also interesting to see the impact of social media (!) and influencers in the fashion world, especially on thrifting. I love their conclusion about finding your own style by not following trends blindly and by being respectful of other cultures. This video really showed how fashion is a reflection of so much more than just aesthetics - it's power, status, history, and culture all rolled into one! Also, Yusuf the point that clothes can be art is so true! Also please where do you thrift? i neeeed to find good places in HK
