did we actually finally get the FRUITS magazine video? 😳

[@batrieniel]

BRING OUT THE CHAMPAGNNNNEEEEEEE

[@sillysphinx2330]

You mentioned the Cyber Trend of the late 90s/early 2000s and it's so surreal - I felt like that was a style that I don't see talked about enough because it seemed so unachievable at the time. Most people I knew opted for the Jetset Radio street-cyber fashion trends because it was a bit more accessible to have ski goggles and random colorful see through gadgets, but those aren't really clothing items you know? I would love to see your take on Cyber Fashion from that era, because it still puzzles me to this day! Unless you already have, than silly me

[@georgieralph7025]

it would be sooo cool if you could do a vid styling outfits inspired by one particular kpop group through their eras. so starting out with their debut and doing an outfit for each comeback. would be rly fun to do a group like red velvet that changes concept a lot :))))

[@VelvetVolcano]

LOVE this idea, I’d also love to see this 😊

[@reycarter6284]

ooo there is so much potential itd be nice to do a 2nd gen group the fashion was wild back then

[@kylie4284]

Wonder girls

[@ItsMe-jn1cg]

Oh i would suggest Kara as their outfits still remain iconic

[@beepwrld]

this was so fun and weirdly satisfying to watch?? I love videos flipping through pages like this lol, would definitely watch another one!!

[@iamcupcakesaddicted]

I would absolutely love another one of those videos, I’ve had a soft spot for Japanese street style (and Ai Yazawa’s work) since I was a teenager so I could watch you style fits using then as inspiration for hours.

[@poppy-vv5ec]

i have been waiting for this!! and once again you have DELIVERED

[@blxckninjx]

you always blow my mind with your styling videos!! every single outfit you create "scratches" a lil part of my brain bc they're so interesting with all the textures & the colors (& you also manage to look cool af in all of them 😎)

[@a-yam943]

Your eyelashes look so beautiful omg!! Also your Kera magazine outfits are all my favorite from this video, especially the last one

[@ActualJadeVerse]

The KERA magazine looks are my favorite ♡ Your skillful layering and accessorizing inspire me to experiment more with my styling :>

[@Rachel-lf4zx]

Ah, I've been waiting for this! I was curious on how your outfits were going to look, since I've always struggled with layering and it seems integral to early Japanese fashion. Your takes on them are so good, and I love the Kera ones especially!

[@LillysStrawberry]

I love all your videos. I have been watching you for years. I feel like most of your followers have been sticking around. We are very loyal

[@vikisz9253]

Zipper is where Ai Yazawa's work was first published!

[@kathrynmerteuil9299]

GIRLLLLL PLEASEEEEE continue!!!! i love this type of content so much!! would love to see MOOOORE xx

[@yuritomas]

my god i need japanese magazines!! and more channels like yours!!!!!!

[@apena6384]

I LOVE the lace leggings! they actually look so cool on you !

[@RyuB008]

I love this video!! It has such nostalgic/relaxing vibes all over, almost like going through fashion magazines in a sleepover with your friend. 14:54 was probably my favourite outfit, but in terms of what I would personally love to wear it'd be the one at 7:55. I really want to start wearing dresses over pants lol. As always, all of the outfits were amazing, thanks!

[@Smallenemyspider]

The outfit with the lace capris is just🤌🤌

[@AngeLYna_]

This may be super specific but I'm DYING to see a Sanrio Character inspired Lookbook/Outfit Video

[@livpluslaurstan]

Katie! I have officially been influenced to get at least one vintage magazine. CUTIE was my fave, so much inspo. Also when you said it was giving whimsigoth, I loved that, cos that is my fave aesthetic, and I literally wore a 90s witch type outfit today

[@xo_oblivion]

the fit at 14:15 is sooooo pretty, 10/10 am floored

[@puppy_2000]

New steal the spotlight video yes please I will be abandoning my homework

[@wayawuffin]

🗣️ give us more‼️ i loved flipping through the magazines with you and would love to see more of the inspo you pull from them!!!

[@maiskivitch]

you just slay these outfits every. single. TIME. !!!!!! LOVE YAAA

[@fiorellamendoza1505]

Ugh sos mi fashion girly nro 1, te amo siempre devoras💋

[@lul8461]

noo me mató este comentario, muy real

[@protoname_]

Omg I've been waiting for your take on this kind of topic! Also your mouse sweater

[@dkalisd]

Such a great video! ZIPPER magazine was my fave when I was a teen. I don't live in Japan but we do have Japanese magazines in my country.

[@dtkeight]

13:41 this outfit is so cute💕💕also love the format of this video

[@emyp.7594]

the keara ones are FIRE

[@LunaR2017]

Here after watching Alexa's thrift video with you in it. Adored the special pieces she got you and how you styled them. Most people might start on a different video, but I love anime and thought this would be an inspiring one to start with- you did not disappoint!!! And you even styled the hand knit vest that I swooned over that you also used in her video. I got to see it styled 2 different ways. 😊😊 I love unique and special pieces. I have broaches that belonged to family members on both my side and my husband's. I love 70s clothing. I love super feminine clothing. I love anything my grandma would have worn (80s does 40s dresses) even though my mom doesn't understand. I'm in my thirties but jump all over the place with eras- some things are timeless, some are purely nostalgic. I want to layer pieces to bring out my inner ethereal side- it just makes my heart sing and I want to see if I can actually let people see that side of me. Anyway- have a good day. I'm excited to watch more videos.

[@Zombiefutter]

This might the video that makes me interested in style magazines

[@sweensie8450]

I loved this, keep making magazine flip videos lol it’s like looking at Pinterest but more fun XD

[@Thefashiongoddessnyc]

You have got to be my fave fashion you tuber on here besides twinelle! I adore what you do and please make it a series and keep the vintage fashion magazine lookbooks coming! I have dozens as I’ve been collecting them for 10 years and was lucky to get older fruits here in nyc when opening ceremony did a clothing collab with them! Fruits gave them vintage back stock magazines to go with the collab! I cherish my long sleeve top from the drop.

[@kayleeelizabeth3747]

ur style is AMAZING ⋆˙⟡♡

[@SofiaCalotti]

This video was so much fun and inspiring! Love the variety and all the quirky details and styling options. (Btw, light spring has pastel pinks and blues too. I believe even that specific type of light blue in the hat you're wearing!)

[@abhbahjvcjhsvdjhvc3590]

not sure if you're interested in video recommendations at the moment but if you are, it'd be super cool to see outfits inspired by blue lock characters!! either something similar to how you did your haikyuu outfits ORRR there's one chapter where they go to Shibuya on their day off and are all drawn in super unique outfits that I think it'd be really fun to take inspo from!

[@ffslof8807]

I have KERA magazines! They're from 2005 or 2006 I believe. I absolutely loved them. And no they're not for sale hahaha. The graphic designer behind the magazine was also really good in my opinion. Oh and FRUITS! Also fantastic.

[@ThinkkingInPinkk]

can you pleeease do a WITCH or Charmed lookbook? the Halliwell sisters are iconic! love your vids :)

[@pinkcooky]

I love these vintage Jfashion videos ❤

[@ilanakirby7108]

ahhh! I've been waiting for this video!! also your dog is so cute

[@vickisigh2674]

so cool getting to see the magazines that inspire you! seeing the flip thrus is so fun, there are so many cool pieces!

[@vickisigh2674]

also yes would love to see more videos like this!

[@VegaStudio12]

Love love love this type of content !!

[@ZeldasMask]

I really need you to know just how inspiring you actually are, your content is always so fresh and unique

[@Lamiann]

i wish i coould have you go through my closet and put some looks together I used to collect a lot of 1995-2010 japanese brand pieces, especially gothic and gyaru related items (alba rosa, d.i.a. specs, avirapink to name a few) but i feel stuck in my combinations, you have such a fresh way of looking at items it amazes me

[@reannaswan8265]

Love love love this kind of vid!!!!!!

[@sydneyjo1039]

i loved this!! please make more vids like this!! great work!

[@mariayepes4389]

more of these plsss

[@marianajaramillo1928]

I absolutely loved the Kera looks they’ve inspired me to experiment more with layering

[@monobabe]

the outfits are so fun!! i love it when there's a lot of different things that make the outfit work and i think these japanese magazines show case it SO GOOD. i'm obsessed

[@romaeraegan]

i have a couple 00s japanese magazine (zipper and some gyaru one) that i got actually inspired by your haul :3 but years ago i volunteered in a charity shop and got an offical compilation type book of fruits magazine pictures for 50p somehow

[@llera_navi]

you styled these trends so well!! i definitely want to buy some vintage jfashion magazines, i gained so much inspiration from this video despite being in a bit of a fashion rut these days 💗

[@grainof_sand]

this was so fun! I would definitely watch another vid like this

[@konpulsiv]

Yes, I really love videos like this one! Back in the day, before there was Insta or even lookbook, I used to enjoy the streestyle sections in fashion magazines the most. It's lovely to kinda get re-introduced to it now!

[@rys6605]

Katie this was really, so refreshing!! I myself have not broken out the shorts yet (though im also in aus) but you really make it work! Shorts have been a hard 'trend' to adopt, for me, because it always feels so revealing, but the looser style u use seems far more flexible! It's nice to see your channel and style evolving ♡ as always

[@loganpeiman9942]

Please do another one of these!!! So good

[@chelsea.danielle.]

You did amazinggg with this video, wow & thank you for the mag source! Perfect presents for my friends’ birthday 🖤

[@shalanarbarnes]

[@rhiannonedwards9870]

THE HOLY GRAIL OF KATIE VIDEOS HELL YES WE FINALLY GOT IT

[@tirzxh]

[@whitecat9914]

[@MegaFicklePickle]

So in love with any video of yours - I have a trip this weekend and this was exactly what I needed to remind me that if I wanna wear the thing cause it's fashion to me, I SHOULD

[@seamonster6796]

Ahhh yes. I loved this video! It's so fun to see your take on the styles in these older J-fashion mags. 💖 (OK, actually I love all your videos, and when I'm stressed out to heck at work your channel is my go-to during lunch)

[@Nikki_Cole]

Omg that outfit at 13:40 is so pretty

[@ScoopEclipse]

love the fits!!!!

[@ailinafernandez6075]

oh my god I loved this video so much, plss keep making more of these zine inspired ones im obsesseddd

[@starcrossedknits]

i first found your channel through a buffy-inspired styling video so i'm lovingggg all the 70s trends in this one!!! your styling videos are the best ones i've ever watched on youtube, i always feel so inspired to play around with my own wardrobe afterwards!

[@Itariss]

[@fiorellamendoza1505]

Me encanta ver como pasas la reviste please make another video like these!! Im never gonna get any of these magazines but i would love to, they are so fun😊

[@pariwhoop4935]

[@thatgrrrrrl]

I found 1 Gothic Lolita Bible at my local Barnes and Nobles back in 2008. I've never found one again and I love it so much that the binding broke! I'm still hunting for other issues

[@divergentgurl1414]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVE VIDEOS OF YOURS AAAH

[@neon-heart]

I cherish my FRUITS magazines from the late 90s/early 00s. I also collected a lot of general Japanese fashion mags over the years ranging between '99-'07 and still have all of the cute freebies that came with them (Milk mirror anyone?}

[@raz8770]

10:05 this bermuda look was so cute 😭😭 would 100% wear

[@OOK11]

You are so clever at balancing an outfit I loved all of them, I wish I wasn't getting old lol I can't pull some of these off but you look fab

[@pinkdinoprincess4347]

That was so so so fun to watch! I love seeing how you incorporate inspiration from different jfashion styles without wearing a style exclusively. Also, your layering skills always impress me over and over again.

[@orikitty]

Bro u made me go on mercari and go nuts LOL, the outfits n magazines are perfection! 😭

[@isthatachicken]

[@katefraz]
