I Made 18th century Shoes for Safiya Nygaard! Nicole Rudolph 2022-04-19 | It's been about 5 years since I've traveled back to the 18th century, so what better chance to do it than with @AbbyCox and @safiya? Abby and I used to work together at Colonial Williamsburg in the fashion trades, so when Safiya reached out looking for some assistance on an upcoming official trip to the city, we did our best not to overwhelm her with excitement at sharing all of our weird experiences! I originally learned shoemaking about 10 years ago while working in the historic area and hadn't had the opportunity to delve back into 18th c shoemaking for the last few years. One of the important factors to me in historical reproduction is the experience of actually wearing the shoes. After years of walking around in handmade pairs (and clothing), it's always particularly intriguing to see someone get the opportunity to test it out for a time. Fortunately, I had just enough time to stitch a pair together before our trip last October.Unlike most modern shoes which are cemented together and contain stiffened toe boxes, heel cups, and metal shanks under the foot, 18th c womens shoes were particularly unstructured. That's not to say that they weren't supportive or comfortable, they just operated in a very different way. The heel curves under the arch of the foot to support it, the uppers are lightweight but snug and often strap over the top of the foot for extra security. It can feel dramatically different to wear, but the shoes aren't painful or flimsy. Years of walking on modern pavement meant that I managed a few hundred miles out of every pair before repairs were needed!Shoe Icons Museum: eng.shoe-icons.com/collection/shoes.htmRecommended ReadingTreasures Afoot by Kimberly S.

I've always wondered how we ended up with teaching the arts in schools and with such a wide proliferation of hobbies. Turns out, the mid 20th century thought we'd all be working 3-5 hours a week and be bored to death. The fight to get free time, and the fight to fill it, has left us with some dramatic problems.From hobby horses to the Haymarket Riots to the Boredom Epidemic, the history of how we all got hobbies is crazy.Images from:digitalcollections.nypl.orgloc.govbritishmuseum.org/collectionJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Riding the Hobby Horse04:53 Middle Class Women's Time11:23 40-hour Weeks16:15 Boredom Epidemic21:04 Art in School23:24 "Useful"

Whether it's the bright and colorful 1980s or funky Y2k fashion, we're always looking back to find inspiration. But, we're running through decades in just a couple of years. Are we really speeding up that much? Has fast fashion, or the micro trend popularity, really put an end to the trend cycle?Turns out, this is nothing new. We've been harkening back to bygone days for centuries for style inspiration. Its just that this time, we have the whole internet at our disposal. When we bring back bell bottoms, there's a host of pictures from runway to highschool students showcasing the last round. We know more about the past than we ever have before. But that doesn't mean the trend cycle is useless. It can tell us so much about how we as a society feel right now, and maybe even where we are headed next.So, let's take a look at Fall 2024 trends to see how they have fared over the last few centuries!Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Old is New05:14 Silhouette & Sleeves08:38 Bell Bottoms15:26 Mary Jane Shoes18:20 Suede24:19 Leopard Print29:48 Future Forecasting
The History of Bell Bottoms: Trend Cycles & Fast Fashion Preview Nicole Rudolph 2024-09-20 | Full video up NOW. Supposedly the trend cycle is speeding up to the point that it's going to break due to everything from fast fashion, to microtrends, to individualism. But, how far back does this cycle actually go? Is there actually a consistent pattern that we can track through time and see it speed up? Or is there something more complex at play? Let's look at some modern Fall 2024 trends to understand how styles come and go. Starting with Bell Bottoms! Flared pants have been a popular style off and on for around 200 years, but we rarely talk about them being around before the 1970s.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com

Thanks to Lume for sponsoring this video!Second hand clothing has been around for all of history. Markets and shops devoted to this business have found entire neighborhoods in large cities. But today our version of thrift shops is entirely different. They are often large, international brands that are brightly lit, organized by size and type. There are entire communities of people devoted to shopping there, showing off their hauls and wardrobes discovered in the giant stores. There's also the subset of antique and vintage shops that focus on certain eras or styles. It's nothing like what thrift stores looked like only a century or two ago. So what happened to take these shops out of the stereotypes of back-alley piles of disease riddled clothing to a thriving activity? And how did they get those stereotypes in the first place? Were Victorian second-hand shops the menace they were accused of being?Images from:digitalcollections.nypl.orgloc.govbritishmuseum.org/collectionlondonmuseum.org.ukArticles:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-12/fast-fashion-turning-parts-ghana-into-toxic-landfill/100358702Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Custom-made Problems03:37 Market Demand06:15 Sellers11:59 Reputation14:47 Charity19:49 Vintage Trends

Visit betterhelp.com/NicoleRudolph and enjoy a special discount on your first month.If you have any questions about the brand relating to how the therapists are licensed, their privacy policy, or therapist compensation model, check out this FAQ: betterhelp.com/your-questions-answeredWhether we've worn high heels or not, we've heard the stories of sore feet, twisted ankles, and the curse of fashion. Most often, women are blamed for being silly and vapid for wearing them, supposedly all in the name of attracting men. Yet, men have been some of the loudest dissenters when it comes to high heels in the last few decades. Clearly, there's more to these shoes than just "sexy".If we wind our way back to the origins of heeled shoes, a different story is told. One where men are just as fond of high heels as women, where function and form go together. Somehow, over the centuries, shoes went in different directions based on gender. Slender, high heels came to represent femininity for some and anti-feminism for others.So, yes, men did invent high heels. And they have made them for centuries (shoemaking has always been mostly men). But the idea that they did so to hobble women looses validity when we realize they did it first. The 17th century just wasn't ready for how far fashion would go, nor how much the Victorian era would despise it.artsandculture.google.com/story/standing-tall-the-curious-history-of-men-in-heels-bata-shoe-museum/AgVRZR_j5AhtLA?hl=enJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Origins02:39 Into Europe09:26 Practical Luxury12:43 Growing Apart17:21 Rising Concerns21:10 Medical Panic26:04 Gendering

But, is there more to it than just a silly set of rules? It turns out, the middle class had lots of reasons for needing the pile of lengthy manuals.

Offers are subject to change. #birchliving Tailoring used to be far more dramatic, even after we had moved over to off-the-rack mass production. The ideal body shape for men has long focused on the broad shoulders and generally shapeless body. It turns out, however, that this might be because of fast fashion more than it is about our own ideals! As of the late 1910s menswear was particularly curvy, with a broad chest and hips, but narrow shoulders and waist. I've always wondered how the silhouette actually looks on a moving body, rather than just in fashion drawings. So, today, I'm experimenting with some old drafting patterns to bring this era back to life!Patterns:web.archive.org/web/20230227003006/issuu.com/micksmom2/docs/the_progressive_tailor_s-s_1920google.com/books/edition/Sartorial_Art_Journal_and_the_American_T/ju3G-fAHG0AC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=tailor&printsec=frontcoverImage Sources:digitalcollections.nypl.orgshorpy.comSupplies (NYDF regularly go on sale)nydesignerfabrics.com/collections/silk-wool/products/royal-orchid-silk-wool-fabricnydesignerfabrics.com/collections/silk-rayon-velvet/products/wine-silk-rayon-velvet-fabricbblackandsons.com/product/french-collar-canvas-heavy-weightJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Patterning Trends07:36 Cut & Shape10:29 Proportions13:10 Internal Structure17:03 Curvy Collars19:26 Hiding in Linings21:58 Sleeves24:18 Reveal

The Scandalous History of the Tuxedo Nicole Rudolph 2024-07-06 | The tuxedo had a strange and rather controversial start in the 19th century, even before it gained its popular name. Moving from the Prince of Wales to "dudes" getting kicked out of parties for wearing the casual style, it threatened to completely up-end decades of established formal fashion. The resistance to the style was strong, but the trend was stronger. It not only brought with it a new opportunity for formal attire, but a lasting impact on how we divide our event etiquette. Over 150 years later, almost nothing has changed about the tuxedo- except the name.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Etiquette for Dress02:41 Prince Albert & the Smoking Jacket05:31 Tuxedo Park Dudes09:27 Frog Tail Woes11:46 Dinner Jacket13:23 Where to Wear15:21 Black v.

A Colorful History of Rainbow Fashion Nicole Rudolph 2024-06-01 | Ever since we managed bright and colorful dyes centuries ago, we've been combining them in as many ways as possible! It's no surprise that the rainbow has been an inspirational part of fashion for just as long. Whether it's embroidered arches or multicolor ombre, it doesn't take long to track it back centuries. In fact, it's been so influential we invented entirely new technology to make better rainbows, and then named it after them!

The Myth of Tuberculosis Fashion : Victorian History Debunked Nicole Rudolph 2024-05-04 | Get $20 off your Brooklinen order over $100! Just click here bit.ly/nicolexrudolphyt and enter my promo code nicolerudolph.This video is kindly sponsored by Brooklinen.When Consumption peaked in the early 19th century, there was a panic over how to manage the growing numbers. It wasn't a predictable disease- hopping from person to person with months or years before symptoms appeared. Which led doctors to believe that it wasn't contagious, but instead fueled by their family history and activities. It was a disease that could be found in the upper classes, affecting young and seemingly healthy people. So they looked to fashion and fashionable activities as the culprit. Everything from corsets to reading novels took the blame, and we've never recovered from the stereotypes. The idea that women are vain and obsessed with fashion solidified with the propaganda, as did the unfounded fear of corsets, the modern concept of purity and modesty, and so much more.Today it's common to see fashion cited as one of the exciters of consumption, despite our modern knowledge that it's a bacterial infection. It's not because we blame their thin shoes or high collars, it's because we've been taught they were so silly about vanity that they endangered themselves to achieve it. Using poisons, starvation, and more to achieve the "look". But, the reality is, the romantic nature of consumption in the era wasn't due to fashion, it was due to the ideals of the time expecting young women to be frail and demure, expecting young men to be intellectual and modest. Tuberculosis excited these features, bringing the victims closer to their ideals of heightened sensitivity and religious dependence.All to say, by also blaming fashion for the romance around tuberculosis, we ignore the actual reasons which are still with us today. We still have an "ideal" of womanhood that includes personality traits and activities that aren't healthy. We still treat illness as a form of redemption or punishment. We still blame those who are ill (especially chronic) with not doing the right things to stay healthy, while also making those things difficult to achieve. Just think about how much healthier (physically and mentally) a population who had safe ways to walk around every day would be! But instead we blame people for not getting in their car, driving across town, paying a monthly fee, and spending hours inside at a gym.Crash Course Lecture @crashcourse : youtube.com/watch?v=7D-gxaie6UIRecommended ReadingConsumptive Chic: bloomsbury.com/us/consumptive-chic-9781350009400American Beauty: amzn.to/3yex29eThesis: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/textilesdiss/12/Image Sourcesdigitalcollections.nypl.orgloc.govbritishmuseum.org/collectionhttps://library.yale.edu/wellcomecollection.orgJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Contagion & Confusion06:26 Predisposition10:04 Beauty Ideals15:23 Fashion as Villain23:38 Lasting Consequences
When we Blamed Tuberculosis on Fashion? Nicole Rudolph 2024-05-03 | Full video Saturday. When consumption was at its peak in the early 19th century, they desperately searched for any reasons behind the spread of the disease. It seemed to defy logic; crossing boundaries of class, race, and gender with no predictability. Instead, they turned to ideas of "excitement" where blame fell onto actions like drinking, dancing, long walks, and even reading novels. Fashion was at the forefront of blame, however, with everything from shoes to hats being cast into doubt. Obviously, it changed almost nothing, and fashion continued to be worn despite the constant complaints.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicolerudolph.partnerships@gmail.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com
Tailoring 101 with Victorian Waistcoats Nicole Rudolph 2024-04-20 | Sign up to Milanote for free with no time-limit milanote.com/nicolerudolphHistorical tailoring can easily become overwhelming with the number of options there are for construction! So, I'm going to look at two of the antique waistcoats in my collection, both from around the turn of the century, to see two ways of managing this garment. The first is a summer waistcoat, so it has no internal layers and all quick machine stitching. The second is a formal style meant to be worn with a tail coat, so it has canvas on the interior and a lot more hand-stitching.Fashion Plates:metmuseum.org/art/libraries-and-research-centers/watson-digital-collections/costume-institute-collections/costume-institute-fashion-platesRecommended Suppliers:biasbespoke.combblackandsons.commacculloch-wallis.co.ukburnleyandtrowbridge.comThe canvas I used in this video: bblackandsons.com/product/french-collar-canvas-heavy-weightJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Introduction01:46 Antiques06:16 Supplies15:32 Summer Construction26:55 Evening Construction41:22 Reveal

The Actual History of Pink for Girls and Blue for Boys Nicole Rudolph 2024-04-06 | It may feel like the idea of pink for girls and blue for boys has long been a part of our society. However, it wasn't that long ago that the lines were far from clear. In fact, the saying was even reversed in many areas! Not only that, but blue and pink weren't even common clothing colors for infants until the 1920s. So what did we use the colors for? And how did they end up being chosen? And why is pink so "girly" now that men refuse to wear it? It turns out that may be a very complex set of questions. But, with a little bit of French and Dutch translation, we may be able to open up some forgotten history.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Colorful Myths02:43 Royal Infants05:29 Dutch Announcements09:23 Color Meanings11:37 Laundry Problems15:29 Layette Options17:44 Colorfast Opportunities21:07 Instituting Gender

Protesting by Wearing Denim? Weird History of 1920 Nicole Rudolph 2024-03-16 | Thank you Birch Living for sponsoring! Click here birchliving.com/nicolerudolph to get 20% off your Birch mattress (plus two free Eco-Rest pillows!). Offers are subject to change. #birchlivingWhile the idea of boycotts goes way back, the name only dates as far as 1880. But the name took hold fast and became a standard in an industrial world. After WWI, when prices had nearly doubled due to inflation, there was a big threat of sudden deflation. Companies were threatening to lower wages, but without lowering prices. More and more evidence of profiteering was showing up and laws were being put into place to crack down. But it wasn't a smooth process. By 1920, people were fed up with how much clothing cost and decided to start what was meant to be a long term boycott of overpriced garments. While the spectacle only lasted a few weeks, the effect it had was wide spread. In the mean time, thousands of Americans had added denim to their wardrobe. Overalls and jeans had a sudden boom in popularity that never really left. They also started their life as a middle-class garment with the same spirit of rebellion that would follow them well into the 1970s.Links on Boycottsethicalconsumer.org/ethicalcampaigns/boycottsletthemeatcereal.infobdsmovement.netPhotosloc.govdigitalcollections.nypl.orgJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 The Great Inflation06:39 Profiteering Problems10:42 Organizing a Boycott15:45 Long Term Effects

When Men Had Too Many Pockets: Dangerous Victorian History Nicole Rudolph 2024-03-02 | 🔎👒 Download June's Journey for free here: https://woo.ga/nys3an9pThanks to June's Journey for sponsoring this videoWhile the complaint about women's pockets being substandard compared to mens has long existed, the sheer volume they were up against in the 19th century would have been difficult to match. Twelve was considered bare minimum before adding an overcoat, which doesn't even account for "specials" that tailors could add anywhere from inside another pocket to the outer coat sleeve for a lady's hand to stay warm while walking together. The problem starts when you realize just how easy it was to toss something in a pocket and loose or forget it. Especially since some of those pockets were set in the tails of coats and ended up UNDER the person when seated. More than a few entertaining stories of strange and regrettable choices abound.

And during some of their earliest days they went through some of the biggest changes! My collection of antique shoes has grown to over 50 pairs, and about 1/3 of those are boots. Ranging from flashy red silk to worn out black leather, they show the dynamic range that women had to choose from in different eras. The 19th century Victorians brought back heels, popularized elastic, and got more than a little experimental with their styles. In the early 20th century boots became a big part of fashionable city life, but never lost their creativity.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 1840-6004:21 1860-8008:45 1880-190012:55 1900-192015:51 1920-194019:25 Galoshes & Carriage Boots

The Victorian Foot Fad Inspired by a Horror Novel : Weird Fashion History Nicole Rudolph 2024-01-27 | In 1894 Trilby arrived and the world of literature would never be the same. A bohemian horror story with a tragic ending, centered around a perfect pair of feet. Though the name mainly lives on in trilby hats today, the novel had influence over so much more. It popularized pedicures, inspired countless texts and performances (including Phantom of the Opera), started a wave of celebrity feet pictures, littered us with foot themed merchandise, and gave us a villain whose name is still remembered a century later. Dozens of articles have been written about the impact Trilby has had on literature, art, fandom, and fashion. And yet, the story itself has been largely forgotten.

Stop Idolizing Coco Chanel : a shocking history of theft Nicole Rudolph 2024-01-13 | Coco Chanel is held up as the "inventor of the modern woman" and a classic style icon today. While her personal life story has been told many times over, in many ways, it's only been recently that documents proving her spy work during WWII have been dug up. And even with knowing she has a dishonest past and problematic opinions, history still gives her credit for all of these amazing fashion inventions. As if the lies she told about far more serious things were indicative of the possibility that she might be lying about that as well. So, today we're digging into the major claims Chanel made about her early design work that we still credit her with today: jersey knit and the little black dress. And why she chose to claim these as her own years later. Turns out, there's more than a little suspicious behavior.Books referenced:Mademoiselle by Rhonda K.

Victorian Christmas Decor was WEIRD (and dangerous) Nicole Rudolph 2023-12-16 | Ever wondered what a Victorian Christmas looked like? While they certainly had the greenery we’ve come to know as tradition, it turns out they were a bit more creative than expected in the 19th century! Trees were covered in fake snow, palm trees were all the rage, and don’t forget the glitter. It’s one big, messy craft project and no one has a vacuum cleaner. Nevermind the goblins hiding in the foliage.

The Controversial History of Color Season Analysis Nicole Rudolph 2023-11-04 | The trend of finding your color season has produced dozens of filters on tiktok, various fashion YouTube videos, and angst for countless people just trying to decide on their next shirt. But where did it come from, and how does it work? Or does it work at all? There are plenty of mentions of the origins being found in the 1980s, but the story of color seasons goes back a little bit further. In fact, the history of color analysis has a much older origin story that may take you back to your Art 101 class. It may also answer some questions about how the system does, or doesn't, work. The rules had to come from someone- and the answer may be a 19th century Frenchman.Harmony & Contrast of Colors- Chevreul (English reprint): google.com/books/edition/The_Principles_of_Harmony_and_Contrast_o/AL1Lyjyrh_gC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcoverContraste Simultané des Couleurs- Chevreul (French 1839): archive.org/details/Delaloiducontra00Chev/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theaterColor and Line in Dress- Hempstead (1945): archive.org/details/colorlineindress00hempColor Me Beautiful Makeup Book- Jackson (1987): archive.org/details/colormebeautiful0000jack/mode/2up?view=theaterColor Me a Season- Kentner (1978): archive.org/details/colormeseasoncom00kent/mode/2upJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Finding Seasons06:09 Undertones & Lipstick10:18 Victorian Rules13:30 Color Theory18:26 Self Analyzing
The History behind Color Season Analysis Nicole Rudolph 2023-11-03 | Full Video Saturday Nov 4th. Though the idea of "color seasons" often gets attributed to the 1980s, it has a far more expansive history behind it. Color analysis has been around for much, much longer and the history behind it can actually demystify the process.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicolerudolph.partnerships@gmail.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com

I Made Leaf Shoes out of REAL Leaves! Nicole Rudolph 2023-09-23 | What else do you do with giant leaf leather than make a pair of leaf shoes? I've wanted to experiment with different plant leathers to see how they compare to the types of leathers that work well for shoes. It took a long time to finally source some of the raw material, but with an elven photoshoot coming up, it seemed like the perfect time! I had to be a bit creative with this design and process, however, as leaf leather is much more fragile and unforgiving than regular leathers. So not every style or last shape would do well. Shoemaking is usually a tough process that puts a lot of stress on the materials in order to get a clean shape. In the end, it was more like making a paper shoe than a leather one!Leaf Leather: districtleathers.com/collections/leaf-leatherJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCca-WkVPVe9nzs2iFct4wxg/joinSocialsInstagram: instagram.com/thenicolerudolphTwitch: twitch.tv/nicolerudolphTiktok: tiktok.com/@nicole_rudolphPatreon: patreon.com/nicolerudolphContact for sponsorships: nicoler@viralnationtalent.comContact for non-sponsor enquiries: RudolphQuestions@gmail.comEdited with DaVinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve🎶Music via Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com00:00 Leaf Leather04:02 Design08:06 Prep10:16 Lasting19:15 Finishing21:27 Reveal
