as someone who’s worked in fashion media and academia for pretty much my entire adult life (and therefore pretty jaded and burnt out), this was so comforting to watch. i would highly recommend following the writings of fashion journalists too for more critical takes on the industry at large - particularly charlie porter (his writing always feels like a hug), robin givhan, lou stoppard (for more culture-centric stories), tansy hoskins (her book on anti-capitalist ways of thinking about fashion), and rachel tashjian for something semi-fictional, i really enjoyed sleeveless by natasha stagg!
Learning how to make my own clothes by knitting and crochet has totally changed my relationship to clothing in general. Now it’s all about material and quality and construction
I found my style through thrifting after consuming lots of content of thrifting youtube videos. The first ones for me to watch and to follow were the legendary sisters 'fashion citizens' - they were so nice and down to earth making great outfits and style with the potential they saw in the garments for each one of them. I like watching Laura VonV a thrifter and a reseller of vintage clothes she knows so much, now she diversed fom that to more contemporary clothes, yet she has a great point of view.
the chanels I like for fashion news is Fashion Roadman, Ayo Ojo, and IDeserve Couture, Hanan, both make LOOOONG livestreams discussing collections and fashion news, Ayo make sometimes 6 hours streams about collection and is 3 hours about collection and another 3 hours of "after hours" off topic content. The good part is the livestream part, because you have a live fashion community discussing topics which you normaly only discuss through comments on social media. For me the best live stream is Fashion Roadman is Paris Haute Couture spring summer 2024, the Margiela, Schiaparelli and Simone Rocha JPG, 3 hours. If a livestream is to long after he post the live he make time stamp and sometimes post just the important part of each topic
Omg all the creators you mentioned are my favs! There’s a British guy I like too who talks more on punk style and there’s another guy who talks about fashion news and drama in regards to business haha
highly highly recommend the Articles of Interest podcast if you don't listen already!! there's a whole season dedicated to exploring Ivy + prep fashion that I think you'd appreciate (big focus on Japanese Americana), I've re-listened to it like 3x lol
Absolute gem of a video Especially the last 5 minutes, I feel like that's how I learned alot of things as well. Just exhaustively googling, researching and diving into new rabbit holes
I literally binged all of your videos over the past two days and was saying to myself that I hoped you'd upload again soon so thanks for the video! Anyways I've never had that much connection to high end fashion, I've just never found it that accesable, but I'm always looking towards musical counter culture movements when it comes to learning about style. Highly recommend googling Madchester fashion, which came about during britpop in the early 90s. Some elements of your style really remind me of it :)
You and your videos have grown on me tremendously - they’re thoughtful, substantive, and easy to watch. I wish you luck and hope you continue to post more.
@percish I feel youuu 😮💨 We all have unique ways of expressing ourselves, and I honestly prefer casting a wide net and getting all the diff perspectives. You're super good at citing your sources, which helps ADHDers like myself who can either hyperfocus OR forget about certain hobbies (e.g., fashion) entirely. So thanks for being you!
The vintage store from frock stars has its own yt channel called the way we wore where they showcase their inventory and deep dive on different topics. The owner Doris Raymond is very knowledgable, i recommend it.
Articles of Interest is also a really great podcast about the fashion and the clothing industry! It's very interesting as it goes into both the history and philosophy of how and why we wear what we wear. The third season about prep fashion (specifically american ivy) is an absolute gem
I’m Iranian too and I wouldn’t ever guess you have Iranian heritage❤I’m really into taking care of clothes as well. Also changing a garment by getting it shortened, sinched, repaired, …
@@percish like you were saying mostly social media (namely Instagram) but I've been trying to tweak my algorithm to move away from streetwear. Another source is my friends as they're still very much interested in streetwear (nothing wrong with that I just wanted to expand my tastes). I've been using the vogue app which wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be as the reviews make collections a lot more understandable. I've also found Reddit and other forums useful especially when it comes to Japanese Americana as I couldn't find much on it on TH-cam, apart from your channel ,Drew Joiner and the casual.
Goodness, that LA Frock Star lady looks like Dita Von Teese! That looks like a fun show. I lived in China for a short time and on a Hong Kong station they had this show (from the UK) called "Fashion Avenue." The host was Jodie Kidd. On every episode, she'd have an event she wanted an outfit for, a budget, and would be in a different European city. I think there's just part of one episode on YT? I loved that show for some reason.
I am also an american whose Iranian mom came to the states in 1980!! My mom is so stylish too!! I'm also way taller than her too. Wow I feel so connected to you, stranger
amazing video! id love to recommend the blamo! podcast, the recent episode with ametora author david marx is a great listen, also the episode they did interviewing the founder of united arrows is fascinating too
I suspect that it isn't quite your aesthetic. However, I have been reading some of the fashion essays written by Gracia Ventus who is a designer for Rosen. Her essays are published on her website the-rosenrot. I remember one essay she wrote ended with her writing, "In the end, we should do well to remember that fashion serves dreams in a material form. It is the job of a designer to make life a little more bearable by protecting the vulnerable self and elevating the good qualities people see in themselves." That quote has stuck with me for a while and has affected the way I view clothes and fashion.
I have some success with AI. "I like these brands and I'm inspired by these things what should I check out next" or "I'm trying to style a varsity jacket with chinos and converse and it's not working what should I try" or you upload a picture of an outfit and ask for a way to change it up or something. It's mixed results so far, sometimes interesting, sometimes really bad, sometimes really good suggestions.
@@percishyeah SA against his previous partner. She even didn’t want him to make a statement about it but he made a statement on his discord and then his ig.
@@percishgoogle “bliss foster allegations” and go to images and you’ll see a screenshot of his statement. Ppl had reached out to Lindsey (his previous partner) and she was not happy with how he chose to cover his butt by making a public statement sharing her trauma without her consent instead of him talking to her fully about the situation. So yeah lots of ppl don’t like him
@@percish my prev comment didnt post for some reason. But no it’s not up anymore. Google “bliss foster allegations” then go to images. He went public with a statement confessing to SA against his partner. His partner at the time Lindsey did not ask for him to do that nor was she asked if it was okay to share her trauma or fully talk amongst themselves. Essentially he was trying to cover his ass and of course is super silent on it so you won’t see it anywhere. A lot of ppl don’t like Bliss. Cause of the SA and how awful it is to take the power of someone’s trauma from them in such a scummy way.
rian phin is THAT GIRL when it comes to fashion theory and philosophy
I agree with Bliss Foster as a recommendation. His video essays are always so informative about fashion houses and design movements.
I recommend looking into his past and then making a decision whether to watch. Personally I have been on the receiving end of something similar so I decided I can’t. He seems remorseful so it’s perhaps a grey area, up to each person what they’re ok watching, who they’re ok supporting.
@@s_imonewould u mind tell me? bc google doesnt have anything about his past
@@Viviano_Magami he admitted to SA'd his wife on his discord

HEY - do u have any tips for people who are interested in working in fashion media + how to maybe manage the burnout?

Same. I find fiber arts content more inspiring than “fashion” content-I’m obsessed with Selvedge magazine.

“Surround yourself with what interests you “ I ❤ that. Same here otherwise il go bonkers 😂
Your mom being Iranian explains so much!!!!! ❤ 🫶🏾
Amazing vid Percia! About to start listening to Ametora
Omg all the creators you mentioned are my favs! There’s a British guy I like too who talks more on punk style and there’s another guy who talks about fashion news and drama in regards to business haha
I'm also reading Ametora. I listened to Articles of interest Season 3 and it's a great compliment. More American focused for the same time period.
highly highly recommend the Articles of Interest podcast if you don't listen already!! there's a whole season dedicated to exploring Ivy + prep fashion that I think you'd appreciate (big focus on Japanese Americana), I've re-listened to it like 3x lol
Just came here to recommend this! I also love the podcast ‘Dressed, the history of fashion’.
I’ve learned so much from Rian!!
I recommend Tuba Avalon, one of my favorite fashion content creators.
we all praise rian phin!!! I love her videos and it makes so much more sense why I love yours too!
Bernadette is great too for vintage garment construction and haute couture!
Absolute gem of a video Especially the last 5 minutes, I feel like that's how I learned alot of things as well. Just exhaustively googling, researching and diving into new rabbit holes

thank you! So kind of you to say
Lovvved Frock Stars! Also rly appreciated the deep dive on research at the end via Rian

@@user-ys2sj7xd4o yes it's good but she will make you want to collect all sorts of expensive stuff :|

Thank you for making this video! I've been trying to expand my interest of fashion beyond streetwear but I've always been lost on where to start
of course ! How do you like to keep up with streetwear?

Can I recommend The Great British Sewing Bee, on the BBC? I feel like it's a show you'd enjoy since we watched the same shows ❤
