[@manuelagiraldo340]

This should be a two hours long documentary

[@carloorelli3538]

let's make it two weeks

[@stephonf]

I’m surprised y’all didn’t discuss Louboutin daffodils in this! They were such a huge moment in fashion

[@dipeshagrawal4675]

For whom

[@PriscilaHorvath]

Honestly, this is the kinda of content I wanna see.

[@THEMODELGENE]

Less "Whats in my bag" videos and more of this!

[@THEMODELGENE]

I love that Vogue is allowing us to share in the vast knowledge and talent of Hamish Bowles 🥰

[@sameerahbutler3803]

More fashion history please! 🤩

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Lots of fashion history on KZbin via documentary,example DW, German PBS, ENDEAVOR has Zara history

[@ianthe.w]

I recommend Mina Le !

[@oluwabukolaashaye4982]

Sure

[@shanna3148]

I'm 4'10... I legit couldn't wear most ready made pants and maxi dresses without my beloved platforms. They are truly an important wardrobe staple.

[@satanyanko]

What a shame gyaru fashion was not mentioned. Atsuzoko boots and sandals are a gyaru staple! Being a gaijin gyaru myself, I can confirm I own more platform shoes than I can justify. They're just so flashy and fun to wear!

[@D4rk_L1ght_]

Yay, glad to see someone embracing the gyaru style

[@creamii7017]

omg i didn’t expect to see another gaijin here SJHDJSJSKS

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Didn't know platform shoes were in the gyaru style

[@GgrimrodD]

You haven't lived until you've misstepped so hard in platforms that your life flashes before your eyes

[@MsBee]

Rite of passage for any high heels haha

[@marem4844]

New York Dolls! Fabulous. I had white platforms in the late’70s. Tragedy, now I’m too old and have a bunion. Great memories.

[@AP-yw4kg]

AMAZINGG you should post more videos like this , would love to watch more ! Hamish Bowle's narration makes it even more better ! He really knows fashion and i love listening to him talk about it 😍🥰

[@ellebannana]

Fabulous! I love platforms and I love videos featuring Hamish Bowles' expertise 😍

[@technicolortabby4239]

I definitely want this to be a full documentary.

[@TheVillageBeast]

I hope all u guys watching this is chasing ur purpose daily !!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@EjNoahe]

Love the gaga talk, just surprised that demonias wasn’t mentioned

[@ditzypupie]

Theyre talking about heeled platforms n stuff not goth platforms im pretty sure

[@EjNoahe]

@@ditzypupie yea

[@rachelwarrilow4672]

Blooming marvellous! The series we needed! Bravo!

[@blondie9909]

LOOOVE THIS im obsessed with platform shoes and i find fashion and especially fashion history so much this was just perfect well done

[@dinamihelios4288]

My father bought me my first pair of platform shoes.He gave me 20 dollars and I went and chose the first pair I liked (Sixteen at the time) They were high lightweight and yes springy

[@DoYouSeeBananaManTH]

It’s a bot don’t trust the reply before this

[@REALS_HUB]

Cool and amazing filming.... Every scene brought anticipation

[@kay-dc8495]

Cheers, will need these for the funeral next week

[@inimbomumoumo2528]

[@THEMODELGENE]

I have some fashion and photography videos you might find interesting as well 😉

[@rebeccameador7712]

I’m just really jealous of Hamish’s name. He has to have one of the best and most creative names in the world. And *SO* British. I met somebody last month whose name, no lie, is Jada January. Her last name is seriously January and her parents named her Jada. #nameenvy

[@ofureehizogie7769]

Impossible to talk about modern history of high heels without mentioning Gaga wearing the scandalous McQueen's ❤

[@iamwindchakra]

I can't ever picture 2010s Gaga without the Armadillos. They are synonymous with each other.

We need a series of this. Story of heels!!

[@SoundBlackRecordings]

You completely missed the Club Kid 90s platforms though

[@marklanon]

Yeah I was waiting for them to get to Fluevog & the 90’s and they completely glossed over it lol they just had a passing mention of Mary Miss Kier and that’s about it

[@CaptainIceYT]

Interesting

[@EveryFilmLoverTV]

VOGUE thank you for sharing this wonderful knowledge ❤️🚀

[@isaaclopez63]

What happened to the gender fluid 1970s style? We dropped the ball and let mens fashion become so basic and rooted is misogyny. Men need to step it up!

[@THEMODELGENE]

Every period of fashion history where the lines become blurred are followed with a backlash and conservatism.

[@enchanted_raven_of_gold_11]

I’m not gonna lie I thought Bowie would pop up at leas sometime in this video, especially when the 70s genderfluid style was brought up lol

[@abifarinsamuel4279]

Wahoo!

[@Abokikaspsra]

Cool

[@oladotunolokede4142]

Wish to see more historical videos

[@olamilekanpopoola8697]

I love fashion history

[@eggsbenedict4287]

Gotta love Vivienne Westwood (I’m a punk metal head, I live in demonia 5” platforms, imma be getting some 7” soon)

[@ngoms1260]
