What Actually Happened at Paris Fashion Week INCLUDING Hermès Birkin Bags (35+ Runway Reviews) Bliss Foster 2024-04-01 | What ACTUALLY happened at Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter 2024 including the new Hermès Birkin bags hitting the runway, the new Chloé and Alexander McQueen fashion show debuts, Vetements’ teddy bears and Paris prepping for the Olympic Games this Summer. In this extra-long industry leading fashion coverage, we’re taking you to see the retrofuturist clothes of Courrèges, whose creative director just got hired for a job designing a Jean Paul Gaultier Couture collection. Comme des Garçons is angrier than usual with the most explosive show of Rei Kawakubo that we’ve ever seen. Sacai is better than ever with dresses and boots this season, Rick Owens continues to crush it, and in a channel first, our first ever show with Yohji Yamamoto. Other channel firsts this season includes coverage of Coperni’s air bag developed by NASA and Victoria Beckham’s experimental wardrobe. I am thrilled, however, to introduce you to Geoffrey B. Small today, arguably the best fashion designer of all time. Other interviews this season include Peter Do on his work at Helmut Lang, Bianca Saunders, and Henri Alexander Levi of Enfants Riches Déprimés. In luxury brands, we take you to see the east-west leather quota handbags at Hermès and the dozens of cashmere treatments at Akris. Givenchy is still looking for a creative director but presented a stunning studio collection that was far from streetwear. Junya Watanabe, Noir Kei Ninomiya, Thom Browne, Mame Kurogouchi, Uma Wang, Casablanca and so so much more!

The Best Fashion Shows from the 90s (20+ designer brands) Bliss Foster 2024-04-22 | The 1990's were a time when many designer's careers were made or established - Alexander McQueen, John Galliano at Dior, Martin Margiela, Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel work, and other labels in vogue at the time. These shows ushered in an era of performance art and conceptual fashion, as well as fashion that reflected the masses. Today, we're going to go through all the absolute best 1990's fashion shows and talk about what made them so substantial and why they represent the height of fashion.Watch Exclusive Videos: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfosterKey Words: luxury fashion, FIT, designer sunglasses, Emilio Pucci, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, Givenchy, tote bag, designer shoes
Fashion Conspiracy Theories Bliss Foster 2024-04-15 | We all know about the Reptilian conspiracy theory, and we all know that people are super into the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 story. This isn’t about the most recent solar eclipse either - but what about fashion conspiracy theories? In this week’s episode, we ask whether Hermès REALLY makes Birkins at all, whether every single luxury fashion item made by a designer is made in China, whether Vogue is a giant pyramid scheme, if Jonathan Anderson is 3 kids in a trench coat, and if Martin margiela was really a woman! What the best shape of hat is to buy, what the best kind of socks are, whether we would ever come to cover London Fashion Week on top of Paris Fashion week, and whether you can work or intern as a fashion designer remotely. All that and so much more on today’s questions video. Watch Exclusive Videos: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfoster
Valentinos New Era Bliss Foster 2024-04-08 | Pierpaolo Piccioli is out of Maison Valentino, the Italian fashion house responsible for some of the most beautiful haute couture to ever make up a runway show. It's now Alessandro Michele's turn to take a stab at the house. Known for ushering in an incredibly maximalist era at Gucci that sold billions, it's now time to see what he will do now that he has a couture budget. His first show will be debuting as a part of Paris Fashion Week in September of 2024 for the Spring 2025 season. Today, we talk about that, as well as runway prototypes, how to make fashion & runway photography your career, and whether I buy any fast fashion.

The Power of High Fashions Exclusivity Bliss Foster 2024-03-04 | Fashion is notoriously an exclusive industry - luxury must be perceived as scarce and prestigious. That results in exclusivity permeating every sector of the industry, from the prices of luxury fashion products and goods, to where those luxury clothing pieces are being sold, to the entirely inaccessible quality that is a hallmark of many artisanal fashion brands. Is exclusivity annoying? Do I ever want to make clothes? Who should be the next creative director at Moschino?

Is Being An Introvert Impossible in Fashion? Bliss Foster 2024-02-19 | The fashion industry is known for extroverted, social people at extremely luxurious parties. Are introverts able to be a part of fashion if they don't enjoy doing that?

Other fashion brand staples of PFW like Sacai, Junya Watanabe, Walter Van Beirendonck and Issey Miyake’s Homme Plissé are all back with incredibly innovative and exciting designs.

This Coat Costs More Than A Car Bliss Foster 2024-01-29 | In today's high fashion game video, we're guessing the pricepoint of luxury products, and trying to get as close as we can. We know luxury goods can be expensive, but just how much money is a Chloé coat?

Breaking Into The Fashion Industry Bliss Foster 2024-01-22 | Fashion is one of the hardest industries to be a part of in the world - exclusivity and gatekeeping of luxury fashion has extended into everyday employees, and even fashion designers that don't manage to impress important industry figures. It's much more work than just starting a new fashion brand, meaningfully important access to runway shows and other institutions are gatekept too. How do you break into the fashion industry? Is gatekeeping actually a good thing? What am I wearing this season?

The Worst Fashion Shows of All Time Bliss Foster 2024-01-16 | Fashion criticism is usually super harsh and sensationalized - but is that even what criticism is? Runway fashion is an artform in 2024 - like film, movies, painting and sculpture, most of any given artform is bad. But on this channel, we have a policy where we do not negatively criticize runway shows or fashion designers at Paris Fashion Week or otherwise. I wanted to take some time to defend why this is our approach to making fashion videos and reviews here on YouTube.

Hermès: The Mother of Quiet Luxury Bliss Foster 2024-01-02 | While this is not an unboxing video, today we’re talking all about Hermès and going beyond their iconic Kelly and Birkin bag. As quiet luxury has further developed as a trend, it felt important to talk about the most noteworthy quiet luxury collection of all time. Hermès, designed by fashion designer Martin Margiela for the Fall 1998 season at Paris Fashion Week, departed dramatically from the designer’s work at his own fashion brand Maison Margiela. Today, we’re going to talk about all the ways in which Hermès seeks to create perfection in their work and how their extreme focus on process has pushed Hermès to the very top of the luxury world.

The Givenchy Dilemma Bliss Foster 2023-12-26 | The Givenchy saga continues with the exit of fashion designer and creative director Matthew Williams from the house. Other than it’s difficult pronunciation, Givenchy’s rich history with haute couture and its namesake founder has evolved to include the work of Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Dior fame, and Riccardo Tisci who famously dressed Kanye West for years. Who will continue the rich history of this brand that has developed a sensibility for darkness and has also been at the forefront of streetwear?

How Oblivious Can Fashion Really Be? Bliss Foster 2023-11-14 | Fashion industry people are known for their uniquely bad behavior. Yet, all of them seem to have such successful careers as fashion design employees that they are often portrayed as enjoying the highest aspirations of their unbelievably high social class. Tons of popular culture’s depictions of fashion has contributed to this too, from Zoolander and hand models to White Chicks and fierce runway walk competition. Succeeding in the fashion industry feels more like a luxury lifestyle than it does a career path - why has popular culture portrayed fashion this way? It is the same L’Oreal and Victoria’s Secret trying to emulate Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, and why America’s Next Top Model exists. We talk about that, as well as how people scam you out of money by preying on your aspirations of being a high fashion model or being the owner of a brand showing at New York, Paris, London & Milan Fashion Week.Watch Exclusive Videos: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfosterKeywords: designer sunglasses, jeans, fashion design, Chanel, Schiaparelli, Saint Laurent
The Men in Skirts Phenomenon Bliss Foster 2023-11-06 | Considering how many times we have seen the likes of Jimin from BTS as well as Brad Pitt, Harry Styles, and Bad Bunny wearing skirts, it’s time to address how men go about styling women’s clothing into their professional wardrobes. Men’s fashion has moved so far away from Nike Air Force 1’s and sport coats, as seen very clearly from the heavy adoption and casual-ization of the Opium aesthetic in runway shows and the celebrities who wear it at fashion week and beyond. We talk about all that along with Tom Ford’s retirement, where the place of upcycling and recycling is in modern day fashion design, how to spot the most brilliant new fashion designers, and topics related to menswear more broadly today.Watch Exclusive Videos: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfoster
Fashion Designers Aren’t Designing Anymore Bliss Foster 2023-10-30 | Fashion design as a profession is complex, full of its own unique challenges and a resume of particularly necessary resources, information and skill. But the devastatingly fast-paced system pushes so many brands and clothing brand owners and creative directors to their breaking point. NYFW, LFW, MFW and Paris Fashion Week often see people come and go on the calendar and this summer and autumn, we have begun seeing more fashion designers take different paths to creating their collections and rejecting the super fast pacing needed by the industry with the goal to try and dedicate more time towards actually designing fashion. Why is this demand so aggressive? Why is radical innovation expected to occur once every 6 months? Join us as we discuss all this as well as the consumer experience with brands in this week’s episode.Watch Exclusive Videos: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfoster

DONT Start a Fashion Brand (Until Youre 40) Bliss Foster 2023-08-14 | Today, we’re talking about what it would actually take to start a business - a fashion/clothing brand in particular. The allure of this business and industry comes from the success of many high fashion and famous brands. Starting a business, particularly one in the clothing industry, is not easy.

Why is Fashion So Repetitive? Bliss Foster 2023-08-07 | Luxury fashion, especially at the highest price points like Dior and Chanel, are very slow to evolve key designs and “iconic” motifs of their brands. This applies to the ready-to-wear as well as hallmark bags and shoes. And to some degree, the reliance on these key models as social currency guides the design philosophy of innovation (or repetition) at these brands. Today, we’re asking why brands are so repetitive, whether they really are repetitive, whether I would ever design clothes myself, the end goal of fashion, and whether Coco Chanel was a Nazi.

The Death of Quiet Luxury Bliss Foster 2023-07-24 | Quiet luxury, while antithetical to the Barbie era that we find ourselves in culturally, is a staple of booming fashion brands like Brunello Cucinelli, The Row, Hermès, and Loro Piana. Unlike the logo-centric sneakers, shirts and miscellaneous products by brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel, these brands are supposedly worn by those in the upper echelons of wealth - famously worn by the cast of the TV series Succession. And other wealth indicators like luxury cars and other luxury goods aside, who is actually wearing items by these brands? Is it really that more people are buying from more minimal brands, or is everyone just playing into a Fall 2023 fashion trend that is trying to emulate the taste of the ultra wealthy? We answer this, as well as many other questions in today’s video.Support the channel: patreon.com/BlissFosterFollow me on IG: instagram.com/blissfoster
Prada: Fascism and Fashion Bliss Foster 2023-07-17 | Miuccia Prada’s profound artistic expression as a household fashion designer explores the intriguing connection between Prada's first show and her nuanced commentary on fascism, drawing inspiration from key historical events and cinematic influences. She took her audience in her debut Fall 1988 Milan Fashion Week runway show to the turbulent era of post-World War II and the aftermath of Benito Mussolini’s rule in Italy. Drawing inspiration from the Italian Neorealist film movement of the 1950s, particularly Roberto Rossellini's iconic film "Rome, Open City," Prada masterfully infuses her collection with visual references and narrative subtleties. By exploring the gritty reality and human experiences depicted in this cinematic gem, Prada cleverly incorporates themes of resistance, resilience, and the dichotomy of power. Today, there’s no re-edition bag, mens sport shoes, headbands, or galleria bag, there’s not even Raf Simons or a slime curtain! But there is symbolism, historical references, and cultural significance that is woven throughout the first ever Prada show. By examining the strange intersection of fashion and fascism, we gain a deeper understanding of the power of artistic expression to challenge and provoke thought through the medium of art that is fashion.

When Personal Style Isn’t Personal Bliss Foster 2023-05-22 | While you may look at some celebrities who have stylists construct a very specific wardrobe for the likes of Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, & more, personal style is more than just wearing fashion: you are inadvertently wearing a fashion designer’s vision and incorporating it into your wardrobe.
