Margiela Runway History - Fall 1989

[@edvard8535]

Only two episodes in but I'm already extremely inspired and fascinated. I absolutely love learning about his creations through your videos, keep it up

[@BlissFoster]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@SoundLad123]

literally the fastest 27 minute vid i've watched. man i love these. thanks bliss

[@jaredw610]

all we can say is *Thank You Bliss Foster* 🥂

[@spencergarvey8684]

I feel like a part of the idea behind the plate vest is highlighting how the runway process itself creates and embellishes the pieces with value. That vest, by being on a runway model at a fashion show, is inscribed with tons of meaning, that the broken plates themselves probably wouldn't have in other contexts.

[@ledgebound9415]

Amazing and thorough video as I expected after the first one. To add onto the craziness that is the classic jacket: The seam that connects the lapel and collar is inverted and the rest isn't. Which is quite an annoying thing to accomplish.

[@BlissFoster]

Wow that’s a great insight!

[@KalivTv]

I was watching for a while and i was like “where tf is the intro”😂😂. That intro is honestly 🔥

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

That collapsible adjustable dress form vest is spectacular!

[@BlissFoster]

I knoooooo I love it so much 😭

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

​@@BlissFosterjust seeing ur reps now that i'm reviewing the series (looked up a certain piece that i couldn't find on search engines) coz i long ago turned off notifs coz some people reply rudely on here

[@Hdisowoqmndv]

Great vid, glad this dropped in my recs. I was always under the impression that in the first show the models walked with red paint on the tabis as opposed to them adding it in the studio after

[@BlissFoster]

Sam Llewellyn I thought that too! I’m sure they wish they’d thought to do that.

[@victor.benitezzz8188]

Keep it up bliss, you’ll go a long way💪🏾❤️

[@fponi]

I’m obsessed with you!!! Thank you for your work and passion

[@dunnystuff]

really reminds me of london club culture in the 80's, when all the art school kids would basically do this to go to the club

[@spencergarvey8684]

You do such a good job with these videos I'm so happy I found your channel! Thanks for putting the work in!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

That 3piece was awesome! Thanx for showing that

[@iantrowell9123]

Your research insight and presentation are phenomenal. I'm just working through these vids. Margiela has always confounded me. I used to sell the mens clothing but it was hard to shift. Pockets of fans in bizarre places. I had a pile of the '0' '10' but it has dwindled, always a regret. Broken plates calls up the artist Tony Cragg, maybe also Mark Dion and some of the sculptors taking on radical materialism

[@LaurenRaaijmakers]

The broken plate vest reminds me of mummy nets. It is a net made out of beads and amulets to be placed directly on the mummy after the coffins fell out of fashion. Also broken plates & pottery are very popular with archeologists.

[@iantee6349]

Always looking forward to your runway analysis videos, we're still here!!

[@Youngcaptainharlock_]

Cannot wait for the next video of this series. You are making me love Margiela even more with every new video! Thank you

[@fy2895]

All the ideas that go into a piece are amazing

[@user-ld1fx2sf57j]

actors sometimes use champagne corks to practice speech. And wear them as a neck pendant sometimes (just makes you practice more often)

[@BlissFoster]

Like they put them in their mouths to practice enunciating?

[@user-ld1fx2sf57j]

@@BlissFoster yes) like you put them in a mouth, hold with teeth and repeat tongue twisters (usually)

[@ivakura572]

@@user-ld1fx2sf57j can you share source of that info or how its exact name? want to make my speech better

[@user-ld1fx2sf57j]

@@ivakura572 at school we had an acting class and our teacher used to work in theater. That's where I learned it. It's a common practice to make speech louder. You need to clutch the cork between your teeth. Try to pronounce the text as loud and clear as you can

It’s very literally my pleasure 🙂

[@Lauriieton]

Hey Bliss just wanted to point out that I'm pretty certain the asymmetry of a right hand dart w no left hand counterpart on the black dress you talk about at 24:08 doesnt actually exist, if you look a lil closer you can see the left hand dart as well, just freeze frame until you can see it :).

[@BlissFoster]

Oh bet!! I love corrections like this. Thanks so much for pointing that out

[@Lauriieton]

of course man! love how open you are to stuff like that :D

[@user-ld1fx2sf57j]

white coats on the band members thing also reminds me of of seamstresses who wear white coats...just some strange connection

[@BlissFoster]

Yeah! That’s the idea. Typically it would just be atelier employees or fit models, but MMM has *everybody* in the coats. The runway models, the band members, etc. trying to eliminate any semblance of personal identity.

[@user-gl1xd5wn5v]

lol? you think.

[@chrischang365]

The asymmetric darted garment folowed by the symmetrically darted garment looks like when I pin my skirts/ dresses to be shorter or tighter, sometimes if one pin comes loose it will be asymmetrical lol. But it doesn’t appear to be making her dress shorter or tighter

[@nhlosenhlecele7371]

did they spray down the coats top collar before it was styled up at 21:19 or they added dust. crazy stuff

[@tuomas.937]

25:12 Backside of the coat looks like my grandma's coach, good shit.

[@7somekindofsomething]

See so many of the tongue-in-cheek methods used by Demna originating here.

Margiela was really chasing the bag with this collection and I respect it

[@BlissFoster]

How do you mean?

[@user-gl1xd5wn5v]

Martin never chases 'the bag'. ew

[@BlissFoster]

W he was widely criticized for accepting the job at Hermes. This was viewed by many as him working for the man.

[@fredk6992]

@@user-gl1xd5wn5v do you not think this was more financially focused than the previous collection?

[@namedjohnsmith6780]

Could you leave the clothes and stuff you talk about on the screen for longer? Maybe next to you? Because the short impressions are gone a bit quick.. thankss

[@BlissFoster]

That’s actually a really good idea. Even tho some looks are only on the original vid for like 4 good seconds, I should perhaps do a loop so you can get a real good look at them. Thanks for the feedback!

[@MyVidStash]

yoohoo - i totally don't mean to be a jerk but grosgrain is pronounced grow-grain AND the franken patch jacket was also done in the early 80s in rabbit fur and leather jackets. maybe he is referencing cheap and popular. don't know

margiela doing a full length shearling coat is not him compensating his vision or to be commercial. you just don't get it. and that's fine.

Joy division Mickey mouse sweatshirt?

[@BlissFoster]

There is such a funny story with that one! About six years ago, Disney created that design and released it at the Florida Walt Disney World Park. There were tons of headlines that got released that same day basically saying “what the fuck is this?“ Disney realized that Joy Division doesn’t really align with their brand in anyway and pulled the shirts the same day 😂😭 Since then, that design has kind of become a legend among a certain kind of T-shirt collector. I had looked to find an original version for years and could never get one. So I broke down and bought a fake reprint of it. The quality of that T-shirt is honestly horrible, I wish I hadn’t bought it. But it was funny and I wanted to wear it for at least one video 🤪
