  • It's truly shameful what has been happening to fashion since the past 15 years it's been going downhill. The stores are filled with rags. Nothing fits, no linings, staticky material, cheap seams, cheap crooked or too large necklines, nothing fits properly for its size on the label and dresses are often too short and hard to find A-line styles or proper pleats. And some things should be banned from public like hideous leggings.

    • You can find a seamstress and order whatever item you want made. A seamstress will help you choose good quality fabric. Obviously it would be more expensive than store garbage, but if you are intent on wearing this item for at least a couple of years, cost per wear isn't that high. Even better if you could sew clothes yourself. But that's a rare skill nowadays.

    • I am an equestrian, former model and I worked in high fashion as a visual merchandiser, stylist, and trend predictor. When it comes to trending, I get a feeling for something - a fabric, a silhouette, a color - a year or so ahead of when it becomes popular. By the time it hits mass market, I am through with it. Here is what I have to say about your comment: riding side saddle in a fully skirted garment with fitted jacket (until the 20th century when women began wearing pantaloons) is hardly liberated. And you must notice that the clothes worn during sport were never worn as fashion until the cultural revolution(s) that began in the twentieth century and that continue today. Today's clothing companies put forth more collections per year to sell more garments to make more money. Back when I started, there were Spring and Fall collections. Then pre-Fall and Cruise were added, and so on. The public is influenced by these collections thinking that they need to stay on trend, so they buy more. But their clothing budget doesn't grow with their wardrobe expansion needs/desires so the garment manufacturers produce cheaper quality clothing. This results in people buying more clothing that is more affordable but is also of poor quality - so they need to replace it more often 1) to stay on trend and 2) because the cheap stuff they bought looks bad quickly and they're told that it's out of style. So the public ends up spending more money on clothes than they expected. And all that cheap clothing is 1) produced of synthetic fabric 2) made in foreign countries with terrible labor practices 3) the cheap clothes end up in landfills where they pollute. The way to subvert this problem is to style in high quality classics and to update certain pieces (particularly accessories) to update the look or add a touch of whatever trend is whirling about at the moment. And remember, the greatest advancements in fashion are now in technology - particularly in fabrics that stretch, provide sun protection, warmth, etcetera. There are very few silhouettes and trends that are new. But most people don't know enough about this to realize that if they buy quality it will serve them much better and for much longer - than the desperate trending that manufacturers are serving up to you today.

    • You know, I have been looking into sewing my own clothing because I am so repelled by the clothes they now offer in stores. The current dresses are shapeless, usually made of synthetic fabrics, and quite simply matronly. It is nearly impossible to find a bias cut skirt in a natural fabric without paying hundreds of dollars, Even denim clothes are poorly made and of cheap fabric. Really dreadful clothes.

It is so hard to find good quality fabrics that are not just 100% polyester and that dont cost a fortune for 1 meter. I am starting to think that i will stick to sewing and buying second hand old clothes that still have any quality to them 😭

  • A long time ago I became disillusioned with modern fashion. I always admired the earlier fashions in the 20th century , for example in the 1930s and 40s and 50s . Within those parameters there were many other options to dress, not just in suits and ties. It is possible for a woman to be creative in other ways , being eclectic. So I ignore the fashion trends and make my own with reference points that I discover from the old movies , old photos, old fashion prints etc. I have bought a mix of modern and vintage for over 30 years now and it is my method of ignoring the boredom of modern trends which seem incidentally , as you say, to be continually on repeat cycles.

  • I love getting dressed up but unfortunately we are losing 3rd spaces (local public hangouts) in the US, which gives us less reason to dress up. I'm an artist so I'll dress up to sell my jewelry, to perform my music, or to go to a rave or the club, but I'm more outgoing and luckier than most of my childhood friends. Most of my close friends need to adhere to a dress code for work, or they don't have the money to go out. So even if they see beautiful and unique clothing items, they don't get them because they say they don't have a place or reason to wear it. Another thing I've noticed is a confidence issue with some ppl. I've had girls admire my jewelry, but they say they're "not cool enough" to wear it or they say "they need to hit the gym" before they can wear body jewelry. Which honestly makes me sad bc I think their bodies are beautiful how they are. We might have more of a "wellness culture" now but it's still elitist and doesn't really focus on the mind body connection and the fact that no amount of super collagen drink will fix the stresses and structure of our unhealthy society. It also won't fix the fact that our food is the US is mostly poison. To dress well and individualistically, we need to be able to relax in ourselves. And a lot of ppl like to tell us there's something wrong with us, which creates anxiety. And anxiety leads to not expressing yourself. Hence the dull fashion. (Just my opinion)

It's very hard to resist for me too, and I feel like it's getting harder and harder to stand out and look elevated & original. I feel the pressure so strongly. You're right it has a lot to do with stress and all the messages around us telling us we are not enough. You have to relax to be creative and dare to show your individuality, yes. Many people are in panic mode and have been for years because of everything that is going on. And it shows. Also it doesn't make it easier that most things you find in shops are ugly and bad quality.

  • Taking about society and fashion, I live now in a small town somewhere in northern Europe and coming originally from a big city in the south, I love expressing myself through clothes but unfortunately people here don't care at all about style. All I see is jeans, sneakers etc. Like, I once went to the cinema with a friend who is a native and she wanted so badly to wear red lipstick like I did but didn't "dare" cause she was too conscious about it 🙁 I still do me as often as I can even if I just go for grocery shopping but I look so separated and this makes me feel lonely. I wish there were more people expressing their uniqueness with style so that I can admire them and exchange inspiration too. Even when we talk about perfumes, they either don't wear any or just vanilla generic celebrity ones. And being a lover of scents, I would love to have a discussion about it and smell something lovely and strange that would make me ask "what is it? 😍" . My eyes are literally deprived of aesthetics, art and creativity . Literally "starved"... 😢

Stays and corsets are amazing protective garments. Not only did they support the breast from the underside thus preventing strain on the ribs, shoulders, and neck but they protected the spine from injury while doing heavy labor. In a pre-claimant controlled world it was necessary to wear several layers to stay safely warm and comfortable. One of the beauties of stays and corsets is that they gave you a place to attach your various skirts. That meant that the weight was safely and evenly distributed and not digging into your skin. Seriously any of the myths around stays and corsets can be debunked in a simple two minute internet search.

  • Interesting video and a good attempt at analyzing from a historical point of view why today’s clothes are generally homogenized and cheaper quality. However I must point out a couple of things that I find are not entirely correct or misleading. First is your use of the term Haute Couture equal to “high fashion”. Haute couture is not the same as high fashion. While Haute Couture is obviously high fashion it does not equal very expensive high end prêt-à-porter clothing. Haute Couture is a totally different endeavor which is all about exclusive, custom-made pieces crafted with meticulous attention to detail, while high fashion prêt-à-porter offers ready-to-wear designs that are more accessible and produced on a larger scale. The second thing I’d like to point out is your take on “feminism” at around 7:30 mark. Compared to what women wore how comfortable were men’s clothing? Were they not as restrictive as women’s clothing and were men not bind to cultural constructs and what was expected of them? I think I would have traded wearing heavy long skirts, bustles, corsets and not having the right to vote instead of having to fight wars in the trenches or build roads or work in a coal mine, but I guess it’s just a matter of perspective who had it better or still does. Regarding the Chinese foot binding In late imperial China, bound feet were considered a status symbol and a mark of feminine beauty practiced among the wealthy elite. Its exact origin of the practice is unknown. However it was the Mothers, grandmothers, or older female relatives to first bound a girl’s feet and not the fathers or grandfathers or older brothers. It was a shared bond between daughters, mothers, and grandmothers. Footbinding was also a prestige symbol, and the popular belief was that it increased fertility because the blood would flow up to the legs, hips, and vaginal areas. The small foot was considered more erotic and symbolized a girl’s willingness to obey, just as it limited the mobility and kept women subordinate to men, and increased the differences between the sexes, seemingly to what we can say for pointy stiletto shoes so coveted by so-called “stylish women” of today that also pay the price with bunions and deformed feet after fifty from wearing high heels trying to be more stylish and seductive willingly, a feature celebrated in tv series such as Sex and the City and every major fashion brand in existence. It was actually a male emperor During the Qing Dynasty the emperor Kangxi (reigned 1661-1722) who banned footbinding in 1662 but withdrew the ban in 1668 because so many Chinese women were still practicing it. You are still very young so please be careful with the “woke feminist” rhetoric when trying to convey your message because you could be misguided and missing the context of how, why and who shares responsibility for how things happen.

    • Does the fact that mothers bound their daughter's feet make it any less horrible? Everyone seemingly was a willing participant in a society that restricted the movement of women. Yes, it was a status symbol. So what? It was still cruel. And you really can't compare wearing high heels to having bound feet. Anyone who wears high heels can take them off, walk around the house barefoot, etc. But binding the feet (as I am sure you know) deforms your feet for life. Incidentally, my husband is from China and his grandmother had bound feet--the last of a dying breed.

My point was that the way it is suggested in this video it makes it as though it was something dictated by men to subjugate women. My comparison to wearing modern high heel stilettos is to show how culturally depending on the time and social constructs women will pursue very unnatural and uncomfortable ways with the intent of being more seductive and beautiful, which was the point of having those bound tiny feet in ancient China. Of course it’s not the same by any means, I’m just saying that we should be careful portraying certain things as instruments to say that women have always been oppressed and are always victims. From what I read it was surprising for me to discover that it was mothers and grandmothers the ones to first do this to their daughters and not something imposed to women in general by some kind of misogynist ruling. I hope I made my point clearer now.

It may be elevated status (you don't have to work so you can restrict your movements) or subjugated status (you aren't free to move, you're dependent). That's a simple fact.

The garmet is designed and cut to FIT. I am SO SICK of clothes that have no shape. The arm holes are way too big, and the fabric is cheap.

She says a lot of what you say here too. I can see the connection to haute coature in a pair of trousers that I recently bought (from the current collection inspired by Marlene Dietrich), as well as a more complex model at a haute coature fashion show. And yes, it is a mix of the past, streetwear and haute coature combined with what customers currently need and will wear. They also want to sell it and do it for customers. For example Dior, Maria Grazia's team has to make 7 collections a year including 2 Haute Coature. That's an enormous pressure.

  • A wonderful video ..This is so interesting and answered a lot of questions for me especially as I see poor quality materials compared to a few years ago and don't get me started on knitwear/and basic pieces that fit the neckline and i'm sure the trend of tucking jumpers came from the fact that they don't have proper ribbed hems ! its hard to find clothes that sit well on the body and look reasonable for everyday wear ..Thankyou for explaining it all

  • In the bulk of countries and times women have not historically had to wear uncomfortable clothes at all. Extreme fashions during a short period of recent Western history is an incident, not something that measures a timeline of emanicipation

  • There is no new fashion (not my quote). Standing out, apart from special events, is frowned upon. “Quiet” prevails. “Loud” reveals lack of sophistication and disregard for the state of others in despair. Same sentiment exists in the world of fine art now, with “muted” and dare I repeat “quiet” themes. (Not my opinions) Therefore, we are stuck here.

  • ​I learned to sew during the covid lock downs initially as a way to tailor and repair some of my work clothes. For awhile now I've noticed that the quality of clothing in stores has gone downhill. Weird unwearable colors, strange shapes, scratchy fabrics, etc. Remember the cool tailored blouses and blazers of just 10 yrs ago? We have lost so many great retailers to bankruptcy - Lord & Taylor, Mexx, Jacob, Loft. I think what we are seeing in stores today could be a reflection of the overall global economy. Not great. So Im now making my own clothes - linen pants and fitted dresses. Satin bias cut skirts and even collared blouses. ​ Making your own clothes is easier than you think and once you start you won't go back.

  • I also started to look into trends after becoming disillusioned with fashion and not wanting to be groomed into commonplace trends and look like a clone. Fashion is far more deliberately manufactured than we realise, it’s the ultimate mind control device. It can start with drip feeding styles into films, get celebs to wear them, feature them into media, alert clothing brands ahead of time and then fill the shops with them. This also refers to colours. The political situation is also examined. For example the push for unisex clothing, modest wear and comfy clothes suits the push towards androgyny, Islam. Paradoxically, the push towards every increasing immodest and sexual clothes suits the desire for breaking down sexual restraint and tradition. Just look at the trend for tight leggings on women which shows every contour of front and bottom (ass) shape or mini skirts even on oversized bodies. Then. There’s the trend toward big and fat disguised under the *acceptance* label or new normal. No this is unhealthy! Fashion and media will however normalise this state. In all fashion is used to mind control, push constant spending, keep you in constant aspiration and degrade the human spirit for beauty and self respect.

    • You are right. There is a class of people on the pyramid who have been planning the demise of creative fashion, modesty and femininity, not excluding men's fashion, to give populations decadent clothing in line with decadent morals and society breakdown. They equally want to create two classes of people easily recognisable: the poor and exploitable in shoddy clothing, and the dominant in rich apparels.

Of course, they still have their own creativity but it tends to follow these trends. The question is : who create these "cahiers de tendance"? and why?

And my husband has zero interest in fashion, but from time to time he likes wearing a colourful top or jumper. And the cuts: I’ll fitted, badly hemmed, awful shapes…. I want to start doing my own tops and trousers. Now the hard bit is to actually find nice fabric.

  • Nowadays if you dare to dress up, you are deemed 'insensitive" as they say "too many people cannot afford to dress well". WRONG! One can get dressed well with clothes they already own, or with inexpensive clothes. It is a matter of wanting to look well dressed, not expensively dresses! One word - lazy! Of course, the advertising of items and trends to the 15-45 population means more sales...

  • Clothes and art have always been wealth display. Now there are Landrovers, Lamborghinis, Rolex watches, jet skis and international travel to spend money on. These did not exist two centuries ago. Travel was slow and uncomfortable. Back then you displayed your status with jewellery and fabric, and heavily decorated buildings. The wealth display motive is still there. To look affluent, your clothes have to look newly purchased and you have to have different clothes for different occasions. Wearing the clothes that were obviously purchased years ago, or clothes inappropriate for the occasion, makes you look poor. It is the same as wearing clothes that are worn out or mended.
