As a fibre artist, I loved the continuous manipulation of fabric and fibre that you highlighted. Your exceptional commentary and unbridled enthusiasm for creativity is both delightful and enlightening - thank you!

This video is outstanding

GAWD DAMN WHAT A CONCLUSION

i really really like your content and your point about being conscience of the content we engage in, your a huge inspiration!

Rewriting your message for clarity and coherence: I've been a designer for 12 years, having studied at a major fashion university in New York City. When I moved here, I thought I'd graduate and immediately start my own label-looking back, that's quite amusing! Over the years, I've worked for major brands and high-end designers, but found that creativity dwindled in those environments. If you aspire to start your own label, working for other companies first is crucial. It helps you learn the business while preserving your creativity by designing on the side. By age 30, I ventured into another field-product and stationary businesses-which has been thriving and profitable. This endeavor has taught me invaluable lessons in the business side beyond just the creative aspect. Despite knowing that starting a fashion business entails initial losses or breaking even for about a decade, I'm now approaching 35 and slowly preparing to launch my fashion venture. Your video's title caught my attention because it resonates deeply with my journey. One additional piece of advice for young designers: launching a line and facing failure can significantly heighten the challenges of establishing yourself in the industry, so truely take your time!

Taste is an over and misused word. Ask any gay man and they'll swear they have taste. Ask any influencer and they'll swear they have taste. Ask Kanye West, he'll swear he has taste. People with actual taste are pretty boring. I know people on England, the continent and Japan with taste. It's rarer outside. Taste is acquired by being privileged and experiencing it first hand or finding a way to acquire it if you didn't. Taste isn't very exciting or terribly interesting it's mostly following rules and being appropriate. Style and elegance are what really matter, authenticity and ruggedness if you're a man.

Street fashion is fashion that originates from the street, rather than trickles down from the major Couturiers or the upper class.

Rick Owen's clothes are so unwearable.

Fashion leaders used to be interesting people that were admired for their refinement of their exciting or eccentric lifestyles. You're right, now it's all Kylie Jenner and Anna Wintour. The scholarship that propped up fashion for decades and pushed it into the realm of fine arts has been suffocated. I don't know a single fashion designer that seems interesting or I admire for being incredibly talented, worldly or refined. So many folks in the industry are just nepo babies or talentless children of extremely rich people and incapable of inventing new ideas. Fashion has been replaced by "look at me" narcissism. Social media has obliterated Fashion, which was never for the working classes and has only recently become accessible on any level. I can't think of any contemporary "socialite" that isn't completely gross. I spent most of my young adult life studying fashion and working in London, Paris and SF. My problem now is that it's entirely marketing. The Victoria Secret Show, PR and ANTM are what poor people think fashion is like. Also telling people that Zara dupes are the same as actual luxury goods hasn't helped. Beauty lies in the quality of the goods and materials as well as the assembling. I would also add that Anna Wintour's influence pushing fashion to appeal to the widest swath, has lasted far too long and to the detriment of fashion. Real fashion is people like the late Bill Cunningham, Isabella Blow and Anna Piaggi. Designers like St. Laurent, Balenciaga even Miucca Prada are highly intellectual with a real curiosity and understanding of art, art history, sociology, politics and even anthropology. They possess foundational knowledge required for building or making something new and substantial. Sadly this type of knowledge is no longer valued in the Kardashian-Wintour era and canceled for being racist and phobic by people unencumbered by intellectual curiosity. I would argue that we are in the midst of a maoist cultural revolution that seeks to destroy everything of actual culture and beauty. Wearing fake eyelashes and screaming the filthiest thing you can come up with into a microphone seems to be the standard but it is anything but uplifting. Paintings aren't bitchiness and neither is fashion. It's about the intersection of refinement, skill and an adept use of iconoclasm. Unfortunately we have arrived at the bottom of a downward slide that probably began in the radical permissiveness of the 60s, with the help of modern media. Making products that appeal to the widest possible swath of society should be the realm of toilet paper manufacturers and chicken nugget processors.

Back in the 90s it was NOT a big deal for a man to wear a dress. Especially, if he was a rock star or celebrity like Kurt Cobain. It’s more of a big deal for a man to wear a dress in this day and age because nowadays, if a man wears a dress, he wants you to believe in his delusion that he is a woman.

When anyone sees sights like this you can’t see clothes the same way any more .

Took 14 minutes just to say "Capitalism has ruined Fashion"

I'm still convinced Martin Margiela does not exist.

Iris Apfel said: "In the right tonality, I have never met a colour I didn't like." I am with her, and I think this also applies to colour combinations. Anything goes if you get the shade/tone, pattern and texture right. That said, I'm not a fan of black and brown together, I think it looks depressing.

OMG. Your t-shirt have Persian typographyyyy😍😍😍 it's beautiful. I am an Iranian fashion designer.

brilliant..imtelligent and well researched..you are the best of all fshion programs..

Idk Heidi designs for my body type. I have to follow him from house to house.

take a shot every time he says eponymous

Btw the fake button cuff details on the Margiela paparazzi jackets actually got carried to their H&M collab pieces. I noticed them right away when I got em (only last year, on secondhand market for less than 20 USD 🤭), it's a very clever detail and I love it so much

Amazing video I learned about the integrity of distressing hand how it must be done with care further more I learned about the detail that must be put in every garment thanks for the information 🙏🏽🤎

good video

This is ridiculous - we still have Facism in Europe - Hello WEF, EU Commission, Ursula and Klaus !!! (to name a few)

So his collection does require electricity it's just the production of his fabric, trims and embroideries that don't? In that case, is his statement about not using electricity categorically false?

Nothing too impressive. Looks cool.

Back when people were lining up and paying at least $500-$800 for a pair Kayne West designed sneakers

I love your communication skills ❤❤❤ Thank you!!!

I was on depop reselling stuff everyday so eventually I was at the thrift every Weeknd . found stuff I thought I would never wear that I fell in love with instantly

I just wondered if Martin Margiela has seen your videos yet

Absolutely stunning ... Bliss you are a phenomenon, lightyears ahead of any other commentator

Holy shit that quote about getting into creative arts because you have good taste, then hate your early stuff BECAUSE you have good taste just blew my mind. I've gone through this with my personal chef side business. The thought of taking on clients and knowing you'll F up and under-deliver sometimes was paralyzing. But you can only blow past that with more consistent work. If you actually DO suck at it, you'll know. Otherwise you just keep going up. That counts for any creative work, for sure.

Everybody gets mad when i say cool colors suit me or i would like to wear cool colors

Thanks for this episode Bliss & Daniella, it was eye opening 💖

I met Walter Van Beirendonck several times in Antwerp in his role as the head of the fashion department at the Royal College. He is such a genuine soul. So cool you interviewed him.

OMG this vid blown my mindsssssss THANKS ALOT i have never seen a garment so upclose in youtube

Wearing all black, isn’t all that difficult. Either A) your intent is to look anonymous or B) you work with the interplay of light and shadow.

Every single video is quality. Looking forward to seeing you in Paris this week

This advice is excellent. It transcends fashion and could definitely be applied to life in a lot of ways. This is my first Bliss Foster video but I can already say that I am definitely a fan. Very refreshing.

Tough to get out of the T-shirt/hoodies/fast fashion box when streetwear is MEANT to be accessible to both underprivileged creators and consumers. It’s like critiquing rappers for having a low bar of musical talent. There’s gonna be the occasional rare talent that gets put on by the industry (and then make stuff happen that’s inaccessible to the non-mainstream audience), but most artists in that genre will not.

The salmon leather jacket is beyond sick. Crying to my ancestors for one🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥

That coat😳😳😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍😍 I must have🤷🏿‍♂️🙈🙈

"I LOVE MW" hoodie may refer to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Just like the cap you mentioned!

I figured out it was McQueen before you got to sentence two and that’s entirely because of what I’ve learned from you in watching you backlog. You’re a great educator.

It’s interesting to me that using good sense when selecting clothing/accessories/bags now has a name and is a “fashion trend” given it’s been my mindset my entire life. There is all of this talk about being sensible like it’s a secret that’s been exposed and the rich people have been hiding it from “us”. It will never go out of style. There will always be those that are selecting thoughtfully with longevity in mind. Always.

Wow, as someone that works in fashion, I enjoyed watching this, and agree with everything you’re saying!

24:58 Could the tabby boots gotten some insiration from some japanese work shoes with a different part for the big toe? Or maybe some toe socks (I don't know their official English name nor when were they invented). Or maybe I missed that in a previous explanation 2:23:34 apparently I may have been right

You forgot about perfumes 😂

Im not a designer, I have no fashion education…. I have tried to teach myself to sewing and make patterns but instead I just spend money on collecting Fabric over the last 10 years. I gave up on trying to learn as I have no discipline. Last year my husband gave me an ultimatum that if I havnt done anything with the fabric by December, I need to donate it. The thought made me so so sad because it’s like giving up all my hopes and dreams and ideas. It’s tough because I work long hours and when I have free time I spend it with my little girl. So what I decided to do was get in touch with a pattern maker and a seamstress to make me ideas a reality…. I have only sold 4 items of clothing which was such a sense of achievement. It’s going really slow because the pattern maker and seamstress have their own stuff going on so I have to wait weeks to get my samples but … I am Atleast getting my ideas life and they are tangible things. I really wish I could get in touch with someone who I could partner with to do this venture together … but I know I will get there…. It’s slow but the dream is becoming a reality… I’m turning 40 next year , so this video gives me hope 😂

Imagine bliss being allowed to hold the chimera dress by Mugler.

As someone who is learning to be a fashion historian. I always look into men's fashion from the past. And Men originally were traditional dresses, makeup wigs, and high heels and the color pink. For an example, look at the painting of Hyacinthe's Rigaud's famous portrait of Louis XIV, he was the most powerful and emulated men in Europe. Who was seen at the peak of masculinity at the time is painted, wearing a curly wig, silk stockings with lace, and high heels with little bows on them. So men are wearing feminine clothes now isn't really a new thing. It's a thing from the past

Well done, and the inspiration that margeila created still gets reinterpreted and used in 2024 collection.
