BTW, I’m 61 & you are the friend I always wished I had, who can talk about fashion for hours and understand why I get so excited about a colour or a fabric or a silhouette. How cool is technology now I can be “friends” with people I’ve never met! I don’t feel so lonely in my love of fashion anymore so thank you 🙏🏻
LOVE how you cover PFW, interview designers, interact with the clothing and most importantly how you talk about fashion! You bring an academic and intellectual POV that is very much missing from other journalists. Keep that shit up!! You guys are amazing!
YOUR videos give me a real insight into fashion. Before your channel, I saw fashion and I love style, but I never really followed what was going on in the fashion world. You intellectualise fashion and really show its depth. That's what attracts me to anything, theoretical depth, and no other TH-cam channel I have come across talks this holistically about the themes and theories and concepts in fashion. Before this I had no idea how intellectually rich the world of fashion could be, so thanks for these excellent videos!!!
literally just checked your channel an hour ago to see if i missed an upload but you were in fact just cooking for three weeks straight thank you for this MEAL
Kei Ninomiya's runway show is still running in my head; I'm absolutely obsessed with it. To me it was his most nostalgic, and dare I say, his most pubescent collection. It feels very liminal, and I was so inspired, especially with his use of holography and other optical materials.
Designers I loved from this video: 1. Undercover, for being really touching in the way they explained something I feel quite a lot (and it's nice to know some men get it); 2. Ninomiya, for the kaleidoscopic plate metal effect; 3. Givenchy, for the beading on the cat dress (because you don't see that cat first); 4. Tom Brown, for the ravens in so many materials, for the big moth cape thing, for doing medieval-slash-1950s style overshoes; ArdAzAei, for the geometric quality of the clothes in terms of the patterns on the fabric and the pattern of the fabric. Fun fact, I learned recently that hennins were based on the headdresses worn by Mongol women, particularly aristocratic Mongol women
I really enjoy seeing you got dressed or styling by those designers, that helps me to see and understand those garments better…. Please do more of that next time. ❤
as an artist who makes work about the human body, I always get so much creative input from your comments and visuals. Make no mistake, to quote you, skin is always the original garment! Love it and will always watch all the way to the sweet, better end of the video!
Every single publication of your PFW coverage always blows me away. Thank you THANK YOU for covering everything the way you guys do & for sharing with us 😌🫶🏼🥹
As an animator, comic creator, and character designer, and overall artist, this video mesmerized me and pretty much singlehandedly got me into runway fashion, absolutely jawdropping stuff 🔥🔥🤯🤯
Great job! It was worth the wait. I started watching at breakfast time and just finished eating lunch. I would just pause the video in order to multi-task and then go back to it and continue. Greetings from Los Angeles
What a fantastic fashion channel! Always very inspiring to watch one of your curated videos. Love your passionate insights and how much you share. Thank you for all the generous and consistently great, distilled content!
Yohji's work and the concept of Ma is also elusive in the world of fashion to me. However, coming from the world of architecture not so much. When you're designing architecture, you're not designing a building/public space/furniture/interior etc, you are "containing" space. It's an abstract concept taught to us very early in our design journey. Interestingly, cubism was also something that we learned quickly after.
It is really crazy to see how far Japanese fashion has come. I noticed how so many of the larger and smaller fashion houses had Japanese designers. I hope they keep up the great work and spread our culture far and wide. Also amazing video as always thank you for the video!!
Your take on the reasoning for Owen's new soft collection was awesome. As someone with a similar background, you really directly seek peace and quiet afterward.
Loved all the geometrically inspired collections; Yohji Yamamoto & cubism where the square pokects turned into draping; Junya Watanabe and the exploration of the transition from 2D to 3D; ArdAzAei and how the geometry of crystal structures inspired a lot of patterns. Especially the last one, more than just geometric as in "there are shapes" it feels very mathematical to me
Two hours that felt like 15’. Thanks for giving us eyes inside the runways and resees. Absolutely enlightening explanations of the inspirations behind the collections and suddenly everything makes sense. You guys are dignifying a craft that sometimes feels so ephemeral and shallow. Thanks thanks thanks❤
Bliss and Daniella, thank you thank you!! I appreciate so much all that you do, and I love your questions, input,educational and comedic commentary. Amazing invaluable content!! I will be joining Patreon as soon as it's financially feasible. So grateful and elated to find your channel!!
Listen, I’m not even a novice when it comes to fashion. I like what I like, I flip through the magazines etc. this video was EXCELLENT! I learned so much and was engaged throughout. Appreciate the time and care that went into to this. When you enjoy what you do it shows. Kudos!
akris just flexing chicly. the columns changing is some magical science and imagination, j'adore! and sacai that's more ambitious than usual? yas! werq!
Great post as usual bliss. As a YY fan and someone who has read so much about him, his clothes, spoken to people who supposedly get it and people like me who don't get it, I can say with certainty that without the man explaining his collections, I still don't get it. 😂 What has changed through all this research is appreciation of the craft, the work itself, and for those small number pieces I have from him, a deeper appreciation. Can you love a thing without truly knowing a thing?
Hey Patricia! I was looking for a different comment and noticed that you've been subbed for over 2 years. I truly truly appreciate you being here for so long! And I'm glad you stayed locked in for the full 2 hours of this video haha. All my best :)
those Hermes clothes!!!! This might just be me, and if it's Too Far then Oops and Mea Culpa, but another aspect of that collection, certainly by incorporating the studs but also through certain other elements, is its SUPER understated incorporation of kink and spcl lesbian kink? Like idk: maybe I'm reading too much into it/seeing what I want to see, or maybe it's an association that's simply unavoidable with leather and leather-adjacent references like equestrian sports and cycling, but it's amazing to me that they managed to make these little elements which scream kink to me so sedated and refined and yet still apparent! This is straight-up Fashion-Alchemy :D :D :D
45:14 i would wear every piece of Kuroguchi that i saw in ypur video! Omg those color changes - bleeds of rust into white and matching top is smth i will be dreaming about. I
im gonna becaome a permanent member of the patreon as of today been holding back for financial reasons but never once missed your vids thanks you bliss and Daniella for making the content needed for fashion and to other yt in fashion
Bliss! Great review. Just a quick note to keep you as the "best coverage in the industry". Uma Wang is pronounced Uma "Wong" for us Americans. This is one of the most common Chinese surnames 王 literally meaning "king". I hate to be that guy 😂 but wanted to let you know as I'm sure her work will be featured in future videos of yours!
37:06 the placement of the position of the pocket is naturally the place where the hand falls, in the winter, in order to avoid the garment touching any objects like a car, where the fabric can risk getting dirty or wet and also in windy conditions, the coat tends to open in that very place, and the hand keeps the garment from opening. One day, there must be a place for the position of the coat can be raised when going up a set of stairs, as the foot can have a tendency to step on the corner of the coat and can cause an accident. But yes, it was very thoughtful, the placement of the hand and the pocket!
Undercover just made me tear up. I'm a widow, with a job, raising a young son born 5 days after my husband passed. I have a rescue farm and also take care of my disabled father. Seeing the beautiful catastrophe that the clothes became... makes me actually feel something.
the box pockets are giving miyake! (possibly an homage) also, one of the most beautiful kimonos i've seen a pic of is a purple one by yohji (i.e. not black)
Can I just say I absolutely LOVE the doraemon helicopter headband on the back, such a cool little nugget to discover on top of this incredible video (as always)
I still cannot become a patron because Brazil remains a financial hell. But I almost cried throughout the whole thing. Yes, I am just starting in fashion, I know next to nothing. But, as a fellow MA in Literary Criticism, I understand your videos better than most other fashion "educators" here on TH-cam. So, cheers from this distant land. And keep it cool.
The practicality + innovation + craftsmanship equation of Hermès is nailing the identity of the brand, yet it's surprising how many people understand Hermès as conservative. I think you can find this equation in a really obvious way in their fragrances too, as they are really pushing the boundaries and being innovative while being extremely wearable. Even their most mainstream fragrances have this: Terre d'Hermès was a small revolution when it launched, never before had a masculine fragrance this transparent and refined been seen. L'Eau des Merveilles was the feminine counterpoint: it was the first time a female fragrance was launched without containing a single flower. The Hermessence line was also innovative as a trailblazer of higher end, high quality ingredients obsessed fragrance line in "mainstream" perfume houses (even though Hermès has always been on the higher end of it anyways). In older times, their first fragrance Eau d'Hermès was (and still is) quite a statement (you should give it a smell if you can ! Just brace yourself...), and Eau d'orange verte redefined the cologne for many. More recently, their H24 male fragrance is a very unique proposal with its apple and heated metal synthetic streak... but still so wearable. In the lineup some fragrances are now less innovative, but either it's because everyone caught up and copied (think the Jardin line), or because it's just a very refined expression of what that classical formula should be (Eau de Pamplemousse Rose comes to mind). Really masterful stuff, they really know what they're doing.
I've watched the Undercover show like 20 times since it aired cause it left me sobbing again and again. I wanted to inderstand why. I am aware that my reaction was probably individual and it most likely just hit the right spot. I find the collection such a dignified understanding of what woman's dressing is expected to be all at the same time: sexy and gentle, both practical and sculpting, comfortable but formal, casual but intentional too. The show is both easy and impossible to put togheter from clothes that might be in any (middle-class) woman's wardrobe. I also appreaciate the tote bag element, which of course is old, but seems so 'unperformative' in this context. It really feels like the models were on their way home, even a little weary from work. I also understand that the collection is playing into the image of a certain-class woman - meaning the social commentary is restricted. A more diverse casting in terms of sizing and age would also be in place, but the show is very openly subjective, admiting the lack of dramatic changes, or power to incite change for that matter. I appreciate that the show (both clothes and the poem) is not paternal. There is no sense of resignation either, but a proof of life-long stamina of women. btw great work Bliss and D, thank you.

2 hours about Paris runaways?! okay you deserve a big thanks, a like, and yes, I am sending you some money. Good job guys!
Thanks, homie 🙏🙏
YOUR videos give me a real insight into fashion. Before your channel, I saw fashion and I love style, but I never really followed what was going on in the fashion world.

Damn, that means a lot to me :) You caught exactly what we were going for 💫💫
Now imagine all that money and effort aimed towards something that actually helped.. lol jks
@@Jackson-uk8xx I think art, and yes I think fashion can be art, has a relevant place in this world. You better be joking :D

“And that we would love her just as much if she found happiness aswell.” Man what a ride. Love your work Bliss.
This got me too 😭🫶🤌
literally just checked your channel an hour ago to see if i missed an upload but you were in fact just cooking for three weeks straight thank you for this MEAL
When I found a moment to have free time, this was the first video I put on. I really appreciate everything you and Daniela create! Amazing work🥳🥳
Kei Ninomiya's runway show is still running in my head; I'm absolutely obsessed with it. To me it was his most nostalgic, and dare I say, his most pubescent collection. It feels very liminal, and I was so inspired, especially with his use of holography and other optical materials.
Amazing coverage, thanks!
Thanks so much, Renee :)
sat through the whole 2 hours, the 4 weeks wait was worth it. thank you.
Thanks! Great coverage and analysis! ❤
Enormous amounts of work, thank you.

Fun fact, I learned recently that hennins were based on the headdresses worn by Mongol women, particularly aristocratic Mongol women
I really enjoy seeing you got dressed or styling by those designers, that helps me to see and understand those garments better…. Please do more of that next time. ❤
Even when hes the head of a Luxury brand, he wears Sambas. Truly, a trainer than exists. Thank you Albert
I could listen to Geoffrey B Smalls talk for hours!!! Amazing that you’ve made this available to your audience. Amazing video 💕💕💕
That dress at 20:01... wooooow. She's like a moving flame. I'm obsessed
1 hour in and I didn’t realise I had another hour 👏🏾👏🏾
Cheers! Appreciate what you do.
You guys are insane. Thank you so so much!!
Can’t imagine doing anything else 😌

Great job! It was worth the wait.
I started watching at breakfast time and just finished eating lunch. I would just pause the video in order to multi-task and then go back to it and continue.
Greetings from Los Angeles
This over a netflix binge anyday thank u for making my brain more wrinkly always
What a fantastic fashion channel! Always very inspiring to watch one of your curated videos. Love your passionate insights and how much you share. Thank you for all the generous and consistently great, distilled content!
*IM GOING TO SAVE THIS* for when I have time to watch it and give it my full attention...!!!
you're a good model. kind of a genius idea of a male fashion critic that goes so close into the clothes that he actually gets into them!
Yohji's work and the concept of Ma is also elusive in the world of fashion to me. However, coming from the world of architecture not so much. When you're designing architecture, you're not designing a building/public space/furniture/interior etc, you are "containing" space.

I watch these long videos in pieces but they are always so educational and interesting. My favorite was the Enfants Riches as well.
Honestly, the only channel I GO TO on TH-cam, everything else is just recommended.
Beautifully done. Consistently above par commentary. 👏🏾 a moment for The Poot
Loved all the geometrically inspired collections; Yohji Yamamoto & cubism where the square pokects turned into draping; Junya Watanabe and the exploration of the transition from 2D to 3D; ArdAzAei and how the geometry of crystal structures inspired a lot of patterns. Especially the last one, more than just geometric as in "there are shapes" it feels very mathematical to me
also the closeup of the stair steps at kurogouchi ugh 👌🏻
Best coverage in the industry for real fr fr
Two hours!!! The amount of work and love you both brought to cover and then produce this video. Bravo! ♥️
I loved this! It took me about a week to watch. There were so many ideas and images to process in each segment that I couldn't watch it all at once!
I'm so glad you two exist. ❤
This was long but it was super informative. Always happy to see your fashion week reviews!
Two hours that felt like 15’. Thanks for giving us eyes inside the runways and resees. Absolutely enlightening explanations of the inspirations behind the collections and suddenly everything makes sense. You guys are dignifying a craft that sometimes feels so ephemeral and shallow.

This is such a well-made video. Highly impressive.
Very impressed with the cashmere/silk fabrics. Genius.
I love that sleepy look!!!!! The angel of death with the keys, gave me a shiver. I had a nightmare last night about keys, doors, and a maze of rooms.
Love your videos, I am not only listening to it, I also like to make notes. Good job!
I'm glad u had fun at the concert. I love Aunt Jackie's leave in!!
Another great video. Thank you so much. Can I ask a question?
How come Margiela didn't show this season ???
love it!! so much content and quality always!!!
The practicality + innovation + craftsmanship equation of Hermès is nailing the identity of the brand, yet it's surprising how many people understand Hermès as conservative. I think you can find this equation in a really obvious way in their fragrances too, as they are really pushing the boundaries and being innovative while being extremely wearable. Even their most mainstream fragrances have this: Terre d'Hermès was a small revolution when it launched, never before had a masculine fragrance this transparent and refined been seen. L'Eau des Merveilles was the feminine counterpoint: it was the first time a female fragrance was launched without containing a single flower. The Hermessence line was also innovative as a trailblazer of higher end, high quality ingredients obsessed fragrance line in "mainstream" perfume houses (even though Hermès has always been on the higher end of it anyways). In older times, their first fragrance Eau d'Hermès was (and still is) quite a statement (you should give it a smell if you can ! Just brace yourself...), and Eau d'orange verte redefined the cologne for many. More recently, their H24 male fragrance is a very unique proposal with its apple and heated metal synthetic streak... but still so wearable.
In the lineup some fragrances are now less innovative, but either it's because everyone caught up and copied (think the Jardin line), or because it's just a very refined expression of what that classical formula should be (Eau de Pamplemousse Rose comes to mind). Really masterful stuff, they really know what they're doing.
Loved it. I just want ALL THE INFO!
