Another great vlog! I know he will be canceled if he live in today era but as an asian actually i love Poiret designs. Im gag abut his feud with coco chanel lol.

[@Fashionand]

Very true! But yes, his designs, along with others such as Jeanne Paquin, were amazing for the period! So glad you love my videos!

Poiret once said, "I waged the war upon the corset", and, honestly, all the women nowadays gotta be grateful haha

[@Fashionand]

Slavic Snow White He was definitely a fan of self aggrandisement!!!

[@sihamstakeon3445]

Corsets historically were more comfortable than the bra we wear today. And it helps with posture and back sways. They (corsets) weren’t made or worn as a sign of male oppression as it is commonly known.

To hell with the haters Paul Poiret was magnificent.

This needs to be a book!!!! Thank you for the education. Did you keep track of the House trying to make a come back? I think it shuttered recently.

I’m glad you enjoyed! I know they haven’t produced a collection in a few seasons now - I’m not entirely sure if they have closed for good but the brand is definitely on hiatus! I have a new video coming tonight - stay tuned!

I love this video and your delightful presentation of it all! I just recently discovered Paul Poiret when I acquired, at auction here in NYC, the hood ornament of his 1923 limosine which is a caracature of his head! I even found a photo of it online! I am just so thankful to be learning more about this colorful gent! Thanks so much for this amazing video!

I am living for your ABFAB references in many of your videos, Sweetie Darling!

Can you imagine if he WERE a designer now instead of then? We would never be able to see the incredible fascinating designs of his. This Cultural Appropriation thing has gone a bit far,no? When humans started wearing skins, I don't reckon it mattered what animals you were draped in, surely. Now it would be- "You CAN'T wear leopard, they were first worn by the Loppyhoos*!" Meanwhile, no one asked the Loppyhoos* if they cared one way or the other. 🙄 * I made up the name, justsoyayaknow. 😁

[@samiraatash]

His designs were inspired by the Middle and Far East as well as Eastern Islamic/Persian miniature paintings (color palettes) otherwise known as Orientalism - other fun fact, so was artist Henry Matisse

[@Evilandcute]

Interesting point of view. Learned a lot about this man. As a POC it seems to me that he took credit for clothes that already existed. He just introduced it to high fashion society and called himself a pioneer. Come one... he was not even original in the names . Kimono Coat? Call that exotic if you want I call it taking advantage of the culture of the east. Let's not call white designers inventors of clothes that were invented by people of colour. Also, taking credit for the "freeing of women" LOL not only false but takes credit away from feminists that fought for years before.

[@Fashionand]

I completely agree, his clothing was indeed appropriation of other cultures and he did not invent these styles of clothing. He did introduce these styles into western high fashion, which was rather revolutionary, and that is why is his remembered as changing the course of women’s fashion. He did not single handed lay free women of corsets - other designers such as Lucile and Vionnet were also extremely instrumental in this. He was a great publicity and PR man and had an extremely high opinion of himself which is potentially the reason why his name was cemented into the fashion history books as revolutionising women’s fashion. Looking at his career through a 21st century perspective changes its point of view and raises many question that we should discuss as historians. The purpose of my episode (and channel) was an introduction to Poiret and his place within fashion history and as a starting point for viewers to start their own research. I hope you enjoyed

[@sihamstakeon3445]

He is white, European, and male.. he felt entitled and the ignorant crowds at that time hyped him up. His work seems all appropriated to me

[@samiraatash]

So true. When Europeans wore it, it was called “freeing”, but the loose and flowy styles worn by Eastern/Muslim women for hundreds of years were (and still) called “oppressive”. He didn’t pioneer any of this. He just marketed it to a European market and took credit for it. Call him a marketing genius, but not pioneer of styles such as harem pants, turbans and kimono jackets.

If I somehow has the money to buy the label or become their creative director, I would change the label direction from couture to bespoke tailoring based from what he always wear inspired by Thom Browne couture collection.. if you look closely, only Hugo Boss and Burberry put unique design suit and formalwear as their main product.. other brand either doing ridiculous avant-garde, sustainable fashion with plain boring design or overpriced logomania streetwear.
