ASMR/Relaxation - The History of Dior (fashion history/exhibition review)

  • This soft spoken ASMR podcast explores the History of Dior - the haute couture fashion house that was founded by Christian Dior in 1946. Together, we'll discover Dior's background and biography, and learn how his 'New Look' designs took the fashion world by storm in the post-war era. We'll then explore each of the subsequent designers who have followed in his footsteps at the House of Dior - and we'll also take a peep at the wonderful 'Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams' exhibition that (as I type) is running at the V&A Museum in London, until 1st September 2019. It's a fantastic exhibition and well worth a visit!
    For further information on the V&A Museum and the 'Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams' exhibition, visit: www.vam.ac.uk/...
    #SoundsCurious is a youtube channel dedicated to audio adventures... as someone who experiences ASMR (and also uses audio to help me sleep), my aim with these relaxation videos is to provide you with a deeply relaxing experience that will help you to sleep, feel rested and refreshed - as well as triggering some tingles! Balancing soft and calming vocals with informative content, my favourite topics for videos are history, culture, literature, the fine and decorative arts... and whatever else takes my fancy :-) Subscribe to the Sounds Curious channel for updates on the latest videos - and don't forget to say hello on social...

      Edith Head and Adrian are already on my list - along with Schiaparelli and Lacriox :) The only reason I haven't done any of them yet is because I'm a little wary of using images on my slideshows that are still in copyright. Most TH-camrs do and don't have any issues, but I prefer to be careful. The Dior exhibition was wonderful, because I actually attended that and so could take my own photos!

    This is amazing. So glad you mentioned it because the detail and information in here is golden. The story of haute couture and especially Dior/Chanel etc is actually really interesting. My girlfriend really loves these brands and at first I was a bit skeptical but once I understand the history, art, and the importance of fashion I was blown away and enraptured by the subject. The story of fashion is a reflection of the greater story of humanity. Anyway fantastic work and look forward to seeing the rest of your videos!

    • @SoundsCurious
      @SoundsCurious  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! ❤️ The way I look at it, fashion is both and industry and an artform. As an industry, the emphasis is on the ability to sell a product for profit - but underpinning that ability is the artistry of lots of really creative people (at high street level, as well as haute couture level) - and, as with other artforms, occasionally an artist breaks through who is truly extraordinary genius. For me, Dior was one, Schiaparelli was another... and then, more recently, Lacroix, Westwood and McQueen. I'd love to make videos about them all, but I'm very wary about using copyrighted images (which applies to nearly all fashion photography). Hopefully there will be future displays of the others, where I can go and take my own photos and tie the talk to a review of an amazing exhibition, as I did here!

    • @NathanASMR
      @NathanASMR 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SoundsCurious I 100% agree. I spent many years living in NYC and the fashion industry is huge there. My roomate was just starting out as a fashion designer and she was working as a low level designer for Thom Browne? I'll never forget it but she told me that there are "clothes" and then there is "fashion". I think thats definitely something to decide in the design process and both are equally impressive I feel like you say. Alexander McQueen has an absolutely fascinating story and it would be so cool if you did a video on him. And thats totally true about copyrighted images, youtube is just awful. I actually was running an ad campaign for my other job but on TH-cam and I couldn't use the letters GM because it was trademarked in the title of the ad/video. So you are definitely wise to be wary. And yeah an actual exhibition would be truly amazing. For Men's fashion I do appreciate Tom Ford quite a bit in recent times. Especially for an American designer. He's an eccentric more than he is a genius but he definitely is on the border of greatness. Oh and another one I love is Karl Lagerfeld even on just personality alone! Looking forward to Renaissance time tomorrow! Have a really great evening.

But it was a couple of years before I started recording ASMR and so I didn't have the presence of mind to photograph everything. There'll be other exhibitions in the future, though, I hope!
