Kpop really makes something to our brain and changes our perception of aesthetics and style, and nobody can deny me that

[@stealthespotlight_]

agreed!! i feel like you can see the impact it has on most kpop fans, we need a deep dive on this!

[@milky_quartz]

for guys too (all genders). it's so great and interesting , cuz certain things have trickled out of kpop fandom fashion into mainstream culture, so you can see hints and traces of kfashion in modern western fashion today

[@shelbymonroe6434]

@@stealthespotlight_definitely would like to see a video about how to accessorize! i absolutely love you and your channel btw

[@sophiem6044]

I would LOVE to see a W.I.T.C.H. video! It was my childhood hyperfixation and I’ve slowly been trying to read the whole series over the last few years.

[@thelazygrandpa]

Was literally binge watching your older vids when this came out. Low key manifested this video😂

[@checooki2908]

I love your videos, I’ve never been able to express myself and my passions, but you have given me tips and inspiration too. At this point I don’t even go to Pinterest for inspo, I just watch one of your videos. 💕

[@dropthecheesecake3527]

omg i loveeeeeed watching this vid and getting bits n pieces of the influence u've gotten from the same dolls and games many of us r familiar w as well. and a witch lookbook is smth i never thought i'd need this much but I CERTAINLY do now!!!

[@AlmightyGui]

yessss tomoyo's outfits for sakura were fascinating to me as a kid

[@SarahHempton]

Pleeeaaaaaase make a how to accessorize video!!

[@ansgardalbrecht5040]

I would really love to see a W.I.T.C.H inspired look book! I haven’t thought about the comic in ages but I really loved it growing up. Just this one outfit brought back so many memories

[@onyxlol1601]

[@13OliveOyl]

Totally agree!

[@milla4898]

Yesss another vote for witch!!

[@slowsnailing]

I'm autistic and i really relate to you turning to fashion as a means for expression. I was nonverbal a lot of my childhood and have always struggled with communication and feeling understood. Fashion has always been a nonverbal way of making a statement and showing your personality and feeling seen. Which is what i love about it. The most influential things for me were various kids shows and fairytale silhouettes. I used to watch runway shows a lot growing up. The Rodarte collections from 2008/2009 had a big impact on exploring fashion as an art form and the possibilities and mixing textures. I love whimsical things, bright colouring, and cartoonish shapes. Ms frizzle from the magic school bus def had an impact lol, and josie and the pussycats. Also i don't think it's talked about a lot but the first season of veronica mars also was a big influence for me. The biggest influence and kind of my fashion awakening i would say was the fifth element. It will always live rent free in my mind and influence my choices. Also i'm currently obsessed with the thom browne winter fashion show this year, it's super fantastical

[@nikfiendluvr666]

I'm also autistic and this is pretty much the same reason why I love fashion too! Much love

[@baby.nay.]

I care for a 9 year old autistic girl, and it’s amazing to see her personal style bloom. I try really hard to just be a trove of information for her about what’s out there and not directly influence her style. She asks me questions about the social history of fashion and my heart jumps with joy to also share one of my interests with her. We both love cozy and comfy stuff , ( I have a physical disability , so comfy is a yesss ) but she’s really branching out with cool accessories and I even gave her some hand me downs recently . Happy to hear you are enjoying exploring your style . Sometimes I have to remind people that clothes and personal style are incredibly valid … we have laws about wearing clothes , let’s at least have fun we only get one body to cover 😊

[@juliaostlund9360]

I love all of this!! I'm neurodivergent w/ trauma and never really understood it's social significance (fashion) & never really got a chance to explore fashion in childhood So I'm doing it now!

[@thesavingsorceress]

Wow, thank you for this! I’m also autistic, and I’ve been obsessed with fashion for most of my life. My channel is even fashion-based, and I take a lot of inspiration from Ms. Frizzle as well. You just connected the dots for me as to why nonverbal forms of expression are so important to me!

[@johanabi]

I feel the same as someone with ASD and adhd!!!! It’s like setting the mood for the day

[@BaileyTheSaxophonist]

Definitely would love to see a how to accessorize! Fran Fine has been an inspiration to me since I first saw her, literally a fashion icon! And honestly, same goes for you! Seeing you wear what you like and styling so many outfits from places I felt were unapproachable, truly a hero!!

[@Ghostvilla101]

Bratz really made me loving chunky shoes and different aesthetics. Also, influencers like you really inspired me to be more creative with my outfits and wear more colours and accessoires.

[@Lua_vr]

I love W.I.T.C.H since I was a kid, and their style is super fun! I would love to see how you recreate Hay Lin and Cornelia's looks, they have such a clear perspective in their style

[@johanabi]

You create such interesting video concepts! One of the biggest fashion moments for me was the discovery of your channel in 2015! Our styles have evolved differently, but you’ve had so much influence on my style. I think it’s more than any other individual person because I started watching you at such a formative age (15!). When I go back and look, a lot of my style elements growing up align with the timeline of experimentation in your videos. so many of your style philosophies and the questions you ask yourself while putting together a look are part of my everyday thoughts. All this to say that if you ever start a Patreon, I will be the first to sign up :) you’re the only fashion KZbinr I still watch, and I stand by that!!! Edit: oh my gosh, I apologise to all 71 of you who liked this comment before I edited out the terrible grammar and typos. Pro tip: switch to your country’s keyboard when using someone else’s phone :’))))

[@Mintshake_bunny]

Yes yes, a W.I.T.C.H lookbook, please! Especially the thought of you making Hay Lin inspired looks is exciting, in my head she's a style icon~ I was actually surprised when Winx had it's resurgence but there was no sign of W.I.T.C.H, always thought they were both equally popular.

[@Mia-jj2vn]

Fran Fine literally raised me, my father always disliked her and found her snoring but I found the Nanny when I was going through a really tough time, she taught me so much about confidence and style and to this day she lives in my mind rent free, honestly I don’t think I would be the person I am if I never watched the nanny

[@JustMe-mp6vu]

OMG!!! SAMEEE!!! She is my main fashion inspiration to this day!! And ALSO my father didn't like her nasal voice and laugh!! But I looooveeeddd (still do) her confidence, her creativeness, and she was imo the perfect blend between sexy, sophisticated and elegant!! (Ironic cause back in the day she was considered trashy and bad taste) Also Clueless, Friends and Gossip Girl had a big influence on my style!! Oh and lately I have been watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and her outfits are EVERYTHING!! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED the matchy-matchy ensembles from back in the 40's, 50's, 60's, they just give me satisfaction!! P.S. I know its not a show but Princess Diana's style also influenced me!! A queen! ✨🤩🙌👚👗🧤👕👖👑👸

[@Mia-jj2vn]

I think we’re the same person, you literally listed all my favorite shoes and movies!! It was the same with my father and Fran, he always was noted by her Basel voice and Princess Diana is one of my absolute favorite fashion icons to this day!! ❤️❤️

[@JustMe-mp6vu]

@@Mia-jj2vn Yaayyy!! Fashion twinsies!!! Also I LOVE the Old Hollywood style, especially in Audrey movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's and Funny Face!!🙌✨🤩

[@Mia-jj2vn]

@@JustMe-mp6vu Yes!! I love Audrey and old Hollywood fashion!! I also love Grace Kelly in High Society and To Catch a Theif. l also look at 60s mod, 90s supermodels, and classic Parisian style as big inspirations!! ❤✨❤✨

[@sarascarpati887]

@@Mia-jj2vn are you me?

[@lauauaura]

more looks inspired by "the nanny" and "w.i.t.c.h" please!!!

[@nothingwithoutmusic]

Such a creative video idea! Now I'm going to think about my style influences. To answer your questions: yes, please create a W.I.T.C.H. video and an accessorizing video! And wow the Diva Girls dressing game really brought me back. Those were some fun early Internet times.

[@professionalamateur741]

This isn’t really a world moment it’s more of a moment from my life, but as a freshman in high school, the punk scene was pretty popular. There was a girl who had a jacket and I think she cut out t shirt designs and safety pinned them to the back of her jacket so it was like a huge patch. That was a big fashion inspiration moment for me.

[@ghostie_grl]

I'm begging you to do W.I.T.C.H. inspired video! I love this series and I love your style and I feel like that would be just so cute and inspiring! I also feel like so many young women in Poland remember and still love this series so much. I know for sure ALL of my friends do!

[@jessbark.o]

I would LOVE to see an accessory video! It’s something I’ve been trying to get more into as it’s makes an outfit more your own.. you make it look so effortless I love it! ❤️

[@puppy_2000]

Yes! Ai Yazawa is such a big influence for me as well, it’s like I’m in the backseat of my little fashion style car and parakiss and nana are flooring the gas pedal 😭

[@Dionne_nx]

This channel is one of the biggest alterations to my style so thank you so much 😭🫶🏾

[@zhisu2665]

Fran Fine is definitely a VIBE I go for, just being extra no matter what I do or where I go and light/dark academia

[@plushdragonteddy]

the fashion influences for me were bratz and confessions of a teenage drama queen. i couldn't remember anything from that movie as an adult, but when i watched it again, i realized EVERY outfit unlocked some strong memory. honestly they're all iconic, and i think both bratz and teenage drama queen might be why i feel so comfortable wearing different styles for different moods. if you've never seen that movie, please do, the outfits SLAY

[@RedPandaNinja6886]

please teach me how to accessorize i have no idea what i am doing ever

[@Nini.Sakura]

I've read the W.i.t.c.h. comics as kid, watched sailor moon with my older brother, saw Fran Fine in the Nanny when my mother watched it an loved her outfits , I even had one of these diva starz dolls ... no wonder I love your channel so much!! I think it's time for me to watch Nana 🤔😂❤

[@-Lotta-]

Same here. Putting nana on my watchlist

[@orangestories5025]

Witch girls were my style idols growing up! It would be great to see your take on it :)

[@Va3Kn]

I would love that too!

[@vandomka8464]

the way i've been WAITING for a w.i.t.c.h inspired fit from you (you slayed that btw) honestly that comic was everything to me growing up and you have no idea how much i'd love to see an entire video dedicated to it!

[@serenetides]

what a great video idea!!

[@stealthespotlight_]

ahh glad you thought so too!!

[@Nixie_the_Pixie]

I would love a video on how to accessorise! It's definitely where my outfits are lacking

[@BabyBat14]

3:16 I relate SO much to this. Not only Bratz's style was influential, but all their media and message was about expressing yourself through fashion. The Midnight Dance, Pretty N' Punk, Pampered Pupz and Fashion Pixiez lines are my favs

[@VelvetKatOfficial]

I love knowing people's style influences! It's always been really cool to me how you're like a real life Bratz🤩 My influences were XMen animated series, Winx club, freakin CARDCAPTORS big time! Lady Gaga, Aurora, Janelle Monae, & KPop male fashion

[@Moon-hg1yt]

You have been such an influence and style icon for me, the way you style clothes and somehow always make everything look so well put together is such an inspiration, I don’t know how you do it. I love your style so much, thank you for your amazing videos

[@mickcat6573]

You have honestly influenced me a lot when it comes to having fun with fashion and your channel has really pushed me to think outside of the box so I thank you for that! I've also been inspired by kpop and bratz as they have permanently altered my brain since I was a wee child dkjxnvjk but a fashion icon(s) for me to this day are actually the banks sisters from fresh prince! I watched the show growing up and i've always admired their outfits that i still refer to them when I want to either go casual/going out!!

[@miyagentile895]

aria from PLL, her first season layering still gets me to this day

[@randomtrucks]

devil wears prada is like a trigger for me. even though it's really not my kind of style, every time i watch it, especially after i watch the scene where meryl streep explains the meaning behind azure blue while styling an outfit for some collection or sth, i get absolutely feral with the desire to dress like a model off duty or like anne hathaway in that movie

i'd say the whole entirety of the monster high back around 2012? has influenced me so much, i love their use of gothic clothing and accessories and how they all matched their characters so well even with the monster elements. i remember little me being so SHOOK the moment i saw them and i wanted to be clawdeen SOOO badly (even though the style i like today aligns more with draculaura).

[@livpluslaurstan]

My love for fashion started this year! My influences that led to me to wear cute outfits basically are: you, katie, and the youtube community, meaning alexa sunshine (who I found because of your channel), and carrie dayton (who I found by watching alexa) My outfits game was non existent before this year lmao

[@GwendolynPMarie]

I’d love to see a w.i.t.c.h. lookbook! That comic was my whole childhood and inspired my fashion so much, especially the styles on the w.i.t.c.h. magazine cover 🙊 or like hay lins obsession for goggles or cornelias long denim skirts with boots look ✨iconic✨

Me: Aaliyah, early Mary j bilge , JLo, Mariah Carey,Pluto from sailor moon, the nanny, Kelly from married with children, dark angel ,nana, bratz & barbie ‘generation’. Flashdance the movie and Showgirls the movie… and LIZZIE MCGUIRE😅 I absolutely loved this video!!!! Such a great concept .This was one of my favorite things to discuss in art school with friends. Sometimes it would bleed into art and not just fashion, but it was often random individuals we remembered from our hometowns .

[@thesavingsorceress]

I LOVED this video. So much inspiration and fashion eye candy! For me, my personal inspirations range from Ms. Frizzle and Halloweentown-style witchy to J-fashion and Zenon Girl of the 21st Century with heavy doses of y2k Avril Lavigne and vintage historical fashion mixed in as well. Also, I’ve got to say, your main look here with the hair ribbons and that top is iconic!
