how sex and the city changed fashion in the 2000s 🏙👠👜
rewatching this show to prepare for this video was excruciatingly painful, things have changed an awful lot in 2 decades. while MANY of the outfits in sex and the city are an eyesore, it'd be a lie if i said they weren't influential at the time. here's a breakdown of some of the fashion trends that sex and the city had a hand in popularizing in the 2000s.
here are the articles about nameplate necklaces and black cultures influence on 2000s fashion in general:

“She stole my baby name” “You BITCH” favorite scene everrrr
mines "I'm not pregnant, EVERYBODY DRINK!!" Classic Samantha lol
Meh
I love that one too because Samantha didn't even need questions.
@@kemistree. this is why I loved Samantha. She was always ready when it came to her friends
@@adafihj6439 Same. She couldn't care less about baby names, but knew it was important to Charlotte. I wish I had a friend like Samantha.
Sex and the city NEVER gets the credit it deserves . Carries wild and crazy but “chic” style . Samanthas confident and sexy . Miranda’s gorgeous power suits and geometric designs. Charlottes classic, timeless and sweet style. All a true reflection of the girls , all complete looks ! What a show !
I think it does. It just isn't as popping with the younger gen z's yet bc they aren't old enough. Millennials, Gen x and above stan SATC DOWNN... Just wait 2-4 years. Im only 23 but my Mom loved the show so I grew up with it and most ppl i followed on socials (tumblr, twitter, insta) know the show
So Serena Van Der Woodsen was based on Carrie?
It’s transphobic and biphobic tho.
Mrs. Strife oh yes it is , and there are a lot of backwards and racist-seeming remarks from Charlotte , and some blatant ageism and some reallly anti semetic stereotypes totally agree with you , and we shouldn’t negate that . BUTTTTTT let’s be honest . The makeup, style and hair was off the charts. A lot of people (even me) were influenced and inspired. Let’s give credit where credit is STILL due
JaiProdz well I’m Only 16, and the show (from what I see ) gets a lot more Criticism, some of which is deserved ,than it does praise . I think that your right tho , in like 3 or so years SATC will get either more hate , or more style praise . Only time will tell
A $40,000 shoe collection? Girl, lend a sister a dollar.
Or a shoe
I have a younger sister like this. She fell in love with shoes when she was about 2 years old. She would shriek from her pushchair as we walked past a shoe shop, demanding we stop. She had a lot of shoes starting pretty early. As a kid, her dream was to own a shoe shop. She took it all very seriously. As a teen, she worked in a shoe store and freaking loved it! Not kidding. She sent herself bankrupt in her early 20's over-shopping shoes but has been following a strict budget for ten years now. She has a massive shoe collection but for record, it's well organized, she doesn't have any doubles and they're well cared for. When she falls out of love with a pair of shoes, she sells it and because she takes excellent care of her shoes and has so many, a lot of them look like she never wore them. I did worry about her when she got a part-time job at a shoe shop while she was on mat-leave. Her husband gave up and built a room in the basement for her collection years ago. I love flying and have probably thrown away similar money traveling, so I'll keep my mouth firmly shut on my opinion about her shoe habits.
@Susan Fudge What do you mean, one of her shoes is enough to give out as loan. If your willing to pay for 400+ dollars on a shoe as a writer in New York then your rich with poor money habits!
@@runningfromabear8354 That was a ride. And I love your sister
@@runningfromabear8354 I wouldn't call traveling "throwing away money" lol.
Some of Carrie’s outfits were WILD but hey if my body was that toned I could get away with wearing crazy shit too
Omg, yes! Fashion is like 75% whack outfits on hot ppl and 25% actual fashionable/stylish/wearable clothing, like if you put the same outfits from the 75% on ppl over a size 14 suddenly it's not fashion, it's a mess ! Such BS double standards
C.p.2.0 no, it’s ugly both ways but people are blind. Whatever, as long as they’re happy
@@doctorwholover1012 +q A a
@@doctorwholover1012 Fashion is consumerism that exploit the insecurities of ppl ,be it expensive luxury, rare collectibles, brand name, seasonal fashion trends & the female body/face (the last one being particulary disgusting!). To me seasonal or decade long fashion has no credibility or longjevity at all. For me it's about style, confidence & self expression..."style never goes out of fashion,confidence never go out of style & the art of self-expression is all relative". Thrive in what you like to wear, what you can afford, what buisnesses you want to support & what products you won't support; for lack of diversity in campaigns or exploit cultural heritage without informing & giving back to these communities, factories that underpay workers & put their health at serious risk, products that abuse/test on animals or kill them for consumerism... I won't support non of that!
If it only looks good because the body it's on *looks good* , then it's probably not great.
Video idea, something related to Fran's fashion sense from The Nanny
🙌🏽
Yes please!!!
YES
Yessss 😍😍😍😍💯💯💯💯
OMG YES!!
I always personally thought Carrie was living out of her league. There is NO way she could of afforded her lifestyle when the show first started. Doubt writers for newspapers make that much money. Once she was doing Voque and her books tho I can get that.
as someone who works in journalism i can confirm that the amount of money carrie earned is NOT the norm (far from it in fact). but movies/tv have never been good at accurately portraying the reality of living/working in nyc.
@@ModernGurlz if you are in college, what is your major and what are you studying? I am still young(in middle school) but I need help on deciding what to do with my life. Please give advice.
hazel i’m not in college anymore but i was a communications major back in my day! you’re still young and have plenty of time to decide what career path you’d like to go down, so don’t stress too much. see what hobbies/interests you have naturally (i always loved books/movies/media) and see what careers are similar to that then work backwards and see what degrees are recommended for those positions! best of luck 💖
While it's true it's unrealistic, SATC is a love letter to complicated female friendship, relationships and New York City itself. It's a fairy tale for adults, not realism for realism's sake. Notice how we never/rarely hear about the girls' parents or home lives pre-adult hood? In my headcanon I believe Carrie had parents that were well to do, and set her up with a nice apartment. She mentions buying vogue over food because it "fed me more" so money has *been* an issue for her. Perhaps she makes only enuff to cover her apartment realistically but then again she has like zero savings in the middle seasons. Like I said fairytale lol. How can buy all those shoes and have zero savings *and* live in that apartment, buy all those clothes AND afford to eat out 89% of the time?
@@ModernGurlz Thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate your advice💗
She had a $40,000 shoe collection and had the audacity to bang on charlottes door for not giving her money.... I never understood the logic behind that.
She has that shoe collection because she never "fully launched" into adulthood. She's the archetypal "woman child". She embodied the "YOLO" way of life before it was even a hashtag.
Carrie is the Rachel Berry of the 90s.
@@jdvera6847 😂😂
She was very entitled
@@Chaotic_Pixie true
It still makes me mad that Carrie had $40,000 worth of shoes and had the audacity to ask her friends for money so that she could buy her place. Girl! Sell your damn shoes!
Ugly ass shoes at That
Or sell the purses.
400k actually
@@parker6832 uhhh 400 x 100 = 40,000 not 400,000
she didn’t ask for the money. she wanted her friend to offer, as a gesture, which she was going to deny just like she denied Miranda and Samantha’s offers
I don’t personally consider Charlotte’s style as safe, but polished. She is conservative, but I think her style is just as identifiable as the other characters, and she really makes all of these polished elements her own.
Fs! Especially w some of her dresses.. I dream of growing up to have Charlottes closet !
“Ghetto gold for fun” this is my favorite show ever but lord it’s crazy to see some of the comments writers got away with back then. Imagine someone saying that on a Netflix original...the uproar.
U tell it was written by white gay men nd white women lol
I never caught that scene on its own but watching here I’m thinking her name necklace and hoop earrings is what she’s referring to 🤔 Kinda messed up.
Bro ghetto gold shouldn’t be a weird thing. It was funny to me
First world probs mentioned by kids who are not able to undestand the show is a product by its time.
@@cjj8119 culture has changed in the 20 years since the show was released and the "humor" in the show wouldn't fly today. instead of trying to pass it off as an "oh that's how it was back then, get over it" you should be adult enough to acknowledge that your favorite show isn't perfect. sure, that's how it WAS (
✨We Stan the cultural background acknowledgement ✨
YES! I was about to cringe with the nameplate one and then I remembered MG is a woke girl that knows her shit and respects everyone's background!.
Loved this bit!
Favorite part of the video
Yes I found that part so good!!! I'm so glad she talked about it :D
I really appreciate she added that. Nice job
I like how SJP isn't that pretty but watching her in SatC makes her pretty in a weird way. She is so confident and has a killer body. And she doesn't compromise for no one. She doesn't even care that some of her outfits look crazy. She's wearing them like it's nothing.
It really goes to show how confidence is everything and will make a person more attractive.
I once heard her described as a "pocket-sized supermodel", and I think that's pretty accurate.
She is THAT pretty tho
She's prettier than like 59% of the world. All we see now are plastic surgery and filter faces.
Yesss her body is fucking amazing ✨
When I think of headbands in the 2000s I think of that scene from 13 going on 30 where the main character puts a ribbon in her hair as a headband.
such an 80s thing to do! I loved that scene LoL
That film was iconic
I began doing that after I watched that movie for the first time 🙈
I don't like most of these trends, but the show's impact is impressive
I liked the bra strap. I've always thought if you have a cute bra, with a cute top, and they work together, they should ABSOLUTELY be worn together!
@@runningfromabear8354 Absolutely!
RunningFromABear periodt
I LOVE this "she stole my baby's name" scene! Even the "baby/mommy/traditional Family/ "I keep think about babies names" thing doesn't mean anything to Sam, she got angry and protective for Charlotte because she knew how important this is for her friend. I love Samantha. She is always so loyal to her girls. Forever my favorite 💗 Ps.: I know it is not the main purpose of the video but this is one of my favorites scenes from the show. Sorry 🤷🏻♀️💕 Sorry for my bad english 😁
Samantha was definitely the best friend of the 4 IMO.
@@bonniehowell4259 i think Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte were good friends. Carrie.. not so much
Do a video about Blair Waldorf!!
She is not Carrie honey 💅
@@juansebastiangonzalezlegui3526 yeah, she's better
@@NirvanaIsMyDrugg I hate to say it but it’s true. Samantha would’ve been a more believable friend of Blair Waldorf than Carrie who’s crazy suburban. At first I hated her guts but eventually understood she was a creature of her environment and her behavior came through a wanting to survive and understanding of reality. Claire was far from fantasious, she made it her goal to understand the game of life to stay in the life she grew up in and I thank the show every day for showing this in a beautiful manner. Serena was a good buffer to her as someone who was blessed in every way and will frankly always stay there due to being an apex predator of humanity. The whole system is rigged for Serena’s in the upper class.
The way you centre intersectionality in your fashion analysis is so genuinely refreshing. I love your videos!
It’s brilliant!
Side note: Gold jewelry wasn't really "in fashion" in the late 90s/2000. It was all about minimalism, Y2K, silver, stainless steel, etc. which further emphasizes Carrie's (and probably the writers') classist distain for it as fine jewelry.
Uhm...Gold jewelry was in style in the working classes and Latin America for this very reason. Latinos associate frivolous or showy wealth as status symbols, it’s why nails, plastic surgery, hair color and flashy fashion is also hugely popular in the group as opposed to the more quiet American market that prefers to demonstrate their wealth through practical accessories like bags, shoes and jackets. Shoes, bags and jackets are the most expensive practical stuff in the fashion market but Latinos hate them they can’t change them often since they associate the ability to embrace trendy looks as a luxury and style instead of praising individual style.
@@anamarte7547 killd them
i was a child when this show was airing so i never got all the references/hype, but this just gave me the push to binge it all from the beginning!
You won't regret it. Just acknowledge that the story is from early 2000's. We are living in a different time.
It is sooooo worth the wild ride
DO IT
One of my fav series. The movies...I don’t care.
Carrie’s irresponsible spending is actually relatable. Most people either is or knows someone who would rather spend their money on wants then needs and be broke lol.
Initially Carrie had a thrift store aesthetic. THEN came the designer shoes, THEN the stupidly out of control couture
THANK YOU for addressing the cultural origins of the gold nameplate necklace.
I had a silver nameplate necklace in the 70s.
@@sabrinan4792 yeah and so did a lot of black women back then:
Don’t forget the door knocker earrings with the names in them too😁
Can you imagine if the show aired now? Every episode would have an IG short film moment showcasing the fashion, accessories, eateries, and camera ready backdrops.
Swoon.
I think it’s getting a reboot now.
I always feel like a lone-wolf saying this, but I liked Charlotte's style the best. I'm gay, and all the characters were fabulously-outfitted in their own ways, but I've always just really liked classically-feminine looks. Dress however you want, of course; but if it were me, I'd take Charlotte's looks any day. I mean, I live for 90s/early 2000s preppy fashion anyway and am always in a cardigan or sweater-vest, so maybe that's just me. xD
100% agree. Her style is beautiful, demure, classy.
Me too. SO Jackie O.
Charlotte’s looks are definitely the ones that look the best in today’s time
I will never be over her pregnancy style in the first SATC movie, especially the polka dot swing dress with the pink raincoat when she sees Big and goes into labor
Charlotte's outfits are goals tbh
Honestly the black and white outfit from the Paris episode and that light teal tutu dress are just... UGH SO DAMN GORGEOUS. The polkadot dress with light blue undergarment and dark blue velvet coat from Paris is peak Carrie as well. The outfit she wears when Charlotte's baby is born is also so pretty, that jacket i need it. You know, for someone who hates this show, I kind of love all the outfits in it!
The Paris outfit with the light blue undergarment....Love, love LOVE.
Please do a video on underwear as outerwear! I'd love to see that especially because I love slip dresses and corsets. :)
Yes, this video reminded me of how much I love that slip dress trend! (❤️ 90s era Drew Barrymore)
honestly - it was a cultural reset
Charlotte - "She stole my baby name!" Samantha - "U BITCH" I LOVE THIS SCENE😂
Every one needs a loyal friend like Samantha, too bad they are so hard to find in real life. Thus the popularity of the show I guess. 🤔
Thank you for including the history and giving African Americans credit for their contributions.
i want long hair just so i can crimp it
OMG Damon the icon watching a video about one of the most iconic series!
15:32 "ghetto gold" oof ... a whole clown lol
“Ghetto for fun” smh... this is why representation is so important behind the scenes as well as on camera. Appreciate you for always being real girl
Is it just me or i always remember the title as "Sex in the city"
The Mandela effect Lol
Yeah I did too lol
OMG I'm not the only one
Well, it was translated "Sex in the City" in my language, so that's how it'll stay in my head ☺️
That’s because u people r children
Definitely had a lot of outdated elements as a show, and many people’s favourite characters have changed in retrospect. However I still enjoy it, and the topics they discussed were ahead of their time
Never liked Carrie’s character cause she was really toxic (imo). BUT her STYLE! Every little thing about her was perfect 💘
I agree. I thought she wasn't a good friend, but her style was insane.
Still to this day one of my favourite things about this show is how BOLD the fashion is, and how unafraid the characters are to embrace their personal styles. Even though some of the outfits are truly shocking, it's would still be fun to watch the show with the sound off, because of how outrageous the fashion is. I will never forget this one outfit Carrie is wearing a simple shirt and what appears to be a gorgeous green skirt, and then she turns around and it has this really BIZARRE tulle thing on the back, I literally burst out laughing. The weird outfits only make the good ones more iconic.
1:13 Reminds me of when Cher got mugged. Alaïa
An awhata?!
it’s like a totally important designer 😞
I LOVE that scene, her counting on the ground gets me every time!
And who is guilty of the skirt over jeans trend? I need the names!!
@@Aster_Risk Same! We all got caught in some strange bad taste hive mind
@@LivLaugh Speak for yourself lmao I never did. I found a lot of the 2000s trends so trashy as a millennial growing up in them. I think the only one I really embraced were jeans and sweaters with skateboarding shoes in the late 00s because it was comfy. Yes h and the juicy couture track suit in the icy colors. Looking back I actually wish I did embrace more of the trends back then. It looked like so much fun. I grew up in suburban New England and had a snobbish contempt for the awkward fashions, especially because they were so outlandish like the whole Ugg boots.
I was kind of a punk 12 year old in 2003 so wearing a plaid skirt over my jeans felt edgy at the time. I got bullied over it but I loved it lol
My older sister used to wear them and I stole them to wear at my middle school 😂
I...I was really skinny, so dresses were too short and I needed something to wear under them...😔🤚
Please do iconic hair colors like ramona flowers , run lola run etc.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Ramona is not iconic. They put her the most awful wigs ever
@Personal Jesus I just wish the wigs were better.
I've just binged the whole series not so long ago and I've become obsessed with the outfits that the girls are always wearing. So I'm super glad that you've decided to make a video on that subject. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
In my culture if we wore animal print or nameplate necklaces were named quaint or “ghetto” , yet when it’s a 20 something white woman it’s “iconic”.
Quaint and ghetto have two very different definitions
Facts
Well, the ones your people wear are really ghetto
@@lilovs9952 its the same ones idiot, thats the hypocrisy
you’re right but quaint ≠ ghetto. they’re basically antonyms.
That last episode tutu inspo dress is the iconic one for me; it screams "disney princess moment" and I think its remarkable in it's simplicity but elegance. A lot of her Paris wardrobe is excellent.
I'm amazed how thorough this video is. It's a great analysis of the series and its fashion. On top of that, you've used the appropriate clips from the show itself to explain the different fashion trends.
Carrie’s red dress she wears when she bring the French fries to Bigs when he’s moving to France will always be my fav and I wish I could pull something like that off
It’s a beautiful dress. Looking at your profile pic I don’t understand why you can’t pull it off.
Whew! The way I actually screamed when you first talked about nameplate one. Glad you elaborated and gave credit
I feel like every decade was iconic except the 2010s. Like... the only things that characterized it were adidas shoes, cold shoulders, and colored skinny jeans. Can you do a video on how un-iconic the 2010s were? Like... the 2020s are already 5 times as iconic and they do have a real vibe... just me?
i have a video about all the awful trends from the 2010s on the channel! (it was my first video essay though so it’s a mess 😅)
When I was a teen in early 2000s I thought they were totally uniconic and that there could never be a comeback of the 2000s because they were so uncharacteristic xD
This video is so thorough. You're incredible. I also love how you spoke about the impact people of color have had on fashion trends.
I found your channel during quarantine and it has been one of my favorites to follow! I love your content ❤️
Omg I LOVE an exposed lace/mesh bra. I do it all the time. It just adds a more sensual, fun look to my outfit for me. I just feel more feminine and sexy when I know I’m wearing lingerie beneath my jeans haha.
That’s VERY different from the way it was work back in the 2000’s 🤣 it was a plain ol underwire bra, similar to the one we all have hidden away and never get rid of because it’s so comfy. And they’d show off the straps, or let it peak out in front or through the arm holes of your shirt. It’s exactly what you’d imagine you’d look like after a bar fight on a night out clubbing 😂
Mary Poppins lol that’s very true😂 it’s crazy how fashion evolves
I remember why that was - bras were shit and clothing cuts were equally as shit - it was like a curse and often not intentional - whatever you wore, stuff peaked out. It got normalized as it was unavoidable but I remember so many times I wished my stupid bra wasn't showing through my stupid tank top :(
SAME but I wear it with a otherwise modest dress
I appreciate the info you added about name plate necklaces. Hearing Carrie call it "ghetto" made me cringe. This scene highlighted the difference between Culture appropriation and Culture appreciation when I saw it.
ghetto gold? I missed that when watching the show. SATC really was a product of its time.
Loved this video soo much!! S&tc is one of my favorite shows of all time and watching their fashion styles throughout the series was fascinating !! Thank you for making this informative video💓
Omg I found sex and the city like 3 years ago when I was broke and living in north jersey and working after college- I had no idea the same designer was responsible for the amazing shoes as the shoes in my favorite movie: Marie Antoinette (2006)!!!! Thank you for this incredible video!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For me Carrie was seen as the most stylish of the show, because of her love for fashion and stuff but the reality was that Samantha was the BEST dressed of the serie. Bold, authentic, colorful, we stan💅🏻
My mom used to watch this show all the time and I remember when I was little I was just intrigued and fascinated by all the styles. Oh, and I guess that hard drive situation worked out😏❤️
I normally never comment on KZhead videos. However, this video is so amazing and so detailed and well researched. SATC is my favorite show and I watch it twice a year and I watch it for the characters, but mostly for this fashion. Only recently have I tied together the trends that you've mentioned here, but you go above and beyond to linking it to its contemporary runway shows (Galliano, Calvin Klein, Helmut Lang). I've always been impressed with your videos, but this IS chefs kiss. The Ratatouille of fashion on KZhead. Yay!!
I LOVE these video essays you give. They're the best👏
Another video well done. Thank you for mentioning that stuff at the end. It meant a lot.
The fact that you acknowledged and highlighted the true origins of nameplate necklaces made me so happy
Just finished watching this show as well as the movies a few days ago and I was always noting how these styles were brought back and have been trending lately. Goes to show how impacting this show was not only from the pst but to our generation as well. Loved your video! It was so informative and organized 😍 Subscribed!
This video and your acknowledgement of the nameplate origins makes me so happy. I obviously have no choice but to subscribe.
I’ve been waiting for a video on Sex and the City!! So exited about this!!
It would be really cool if one day you could do a video breaking down each character's styles!! Awesome video as always!!!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Nostalgic but informative. Every second had purpose!!! Omg i didn’t want it to end.
By the way, this was an A+ video essay on SATC's costume design. Great stuff.
My mother (gen x) introduced me to this show while saying "Listen, my dear, this show taught me several lessons and helped me cope with a lot of things when I was a young adult. So now it's time for you and I to watch it together!". To this day, when we want to relax together we just watch "Sex and the City" and discuss how some things are still relevant or complain about Carrie's character development. P.s.: this show definitely needs more attention from young adults of this generation
Omg that's so cute and good way of parenting! Teaching a child about life through a fun show. Now I know what I'm gonna do with my daughter one day when I have her and she grows up :') haha And I agree, definitely needs more attention!
ME TOOO!! My mom is 53, I’m 17 now, and she started showing me this show when I was 10 to prepare me for life’s experiences.
Thanks for highlighting the last but about the necklaces. I think that's what it boils down to, acknowledging where the trend/fashion statement came from.
I love your channel because you do such a good job of breaking down the cultural significance of shows like this and the historical side to it all. I love learning about the history of fashion and do that in such an entertaining way that it hardly feels like learning keeping me interested and never bored. 💙
9:10 It's not Crocodile Birkin Bag, it's Ostrich leather Birkin Bag.
The newspaper dress was my favourite along with her wavy, slightly messy hair.
I really enjoy this. You research, reference reliable sources and give your own personal opinion and reasoning for those views. You are so thorough and speak so well it gives your videos life.
thank you for what you do, moderngurlz 😔💕. These concepts are like therapy
Will you do on on the ladies of the 90s show "Married with Children"? Peggy's spandex-belt-heels combo and Kelly's bodycon dresses were insane.
Please make a video like this about The Nanny, it’s just MUST
Love this! I’ve been binging Sex and the City lately and it’s led to sooo much online shopping!! I would love to see a video on the fashion in Gossip Girl - I feel like Blair and Serena’s looks encapsulate every 2000s girl’s dream wardrobe!
I loved this! i hope you end up making more videos about fashion when it comes to the stuff you mentioned in the end.
Samanthas pink and black jumpsuit in the “I’m sorry. I can’t. Don’t hate me” episode!! Iconic 💗💗
idk if you watched 'girlfriends' but i wish someone would make a video about them
Yessss but most white women never hear of it and wouldn’t know anyone but jones’ actress
Yesss
Yess I’ve been waiting for this video!! Thank you:)
So happy that you touched on the Urban influence in the early 2000's. People often forget about brands like baby phat who mixed both high end and street wear and also set trends which made it into mainstream. Definitely subbing to this channel
I remember watching this as kid because of the fashion. I've always been into fashion so seeing Carrie walk down the streets wearing lavish outfits was something that I loved. Eventhough now that I look back, what the hell was I doing watching this show at such a young age?
Patricia Feild is such a queen. Everytime I watch it I forget that it was filmed in the late 90s-early 2000s because I remember the fashion being HORRIBLE.
Patricia Fields is a legendary costume designer who really proved herself not only with "Sex and the City" but also with "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic."
Also she had one store on 8th st (between 5th Ave. & University Pl. - I cannot remember the exact number), as well as stores at 306 Bowery and in the East Village, that was the go to point from the '70's to '11 fortunately mostly only known to correctly informed persons across all the various social economic ranges of the time for spot on fashion/trends of the moment at affordable prices.
Omg you’re literally amazing love the video and you missed nothing especially with the nameplate examples definitely subscribing
this video was informative, well researched, and so entertaining. Great work!!!
Worth mentioning that the exposed bra trend started in the 80s, though it was usually paired with a jacket. I remember one of my teachers mentioning she and her friends wore them to copy Madonna, but she was too shy to wear her jacket open 😂
I’d love to hear your take on various HS focused shows and very fashionable movies like Gossip Girl, Marie Antoinette, and Memoirs of a Geisha since I’ve seen them referenced in your other videos.
You and Barbie Darling are my new favourite youtubers.Thanks for entertaining me during quarantine
I’ve been waiting for this video since forever!! 😍
I was in my early 20s, we were so excited every Friday night in the summer to rush home to watch SATC! Another style we went crazy for was the horseshoe necklace (I still wear one lol) We mainly wore silver jewelry back then!
Patrica Field did an amazing job, I remember watching this show I my early teens and made me experiment more with fashion, and try things on that I never thought would actually suit me. But it is strange to re-watch SATC and Seinfeld and Friends now, eesh. I think if I didn't have nostalgia for them that I wouldn't be able to make it through. So, this might be a stupid suggestion, but I would love to see a look at Cary Fetman - he's the stylist for The Bachelor/ette, it's so interesting; all the first episode dresses, all season clothing, rings, engagement dresses and how it's evolved over time and how a season like Emilys (classic, high fashion) vs a season like Hannah B (youthful, 90's fashion).
this video is so amazing!! i can tell you took a lot of time to make this and it’s so great💖💖
I haven't really seen any comments about this but this really well made! I can imagine the script and researching took you a long time great job :)
Oh my, i love this show. I remember my mom making me watch it with her when I was really little and we would talk about how iconic their outfits were and what a jerk Big was. Love this! ☺️
I love how they mention the history of fashion and not shying away from talking abt poc / black cultures influence on many trends!!
I'm in love with both the green tutu in the finale, and the black and white striped +flower Sonia Rykiel look.
I really love your analysis of outfits in shows and movies.
Technically never did watch this but here I am anyways ,,,

“Kids from the neighborhood” was their version of “urban” 💀 Tbh it’s weird w nameplates being popularized when it’s something I grew up w. I got mine as a gift and I was like oh my god. I was lowkey emo bc some ppl have no idea what they can mean. My mom has had hers since the early 90s my sister got hers around 2010 & I got mine in 2018
