Thank you for mentioning the issue about (fast-)fashion towards the end. More people need to be aware that shopping their next SHEIN haul has a big impact on environment but also people's livelihood. If it is cheap, imagine how the works behind-the-scenes are treated. Great video!

[@Julia-lk8jn]

Absolutely agreed! Those _"... and I only paid ten bucks for this super-cute dress!!!"_ reactions drive me nuts. That thing has to be spun, woven, cut, sewn together, died/printed, wrapped up and transported... and the shop owners and staff probably like to earn some money too. Also the designer. Given that the materials have to be paid for, what in ---- do think is left for the workers???

Whenever I see/hear talk about fashion, I am reminded of the quote by Oscar Wilde: "A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!"

Corsets did not prevent women from breathing (unless you're tightening it too much of course ^^), in fact a lot of women who have tried well-made corsets say that they're a lot more conmofrtables than bras. It's just a trend, a fashion if you want :p

[@Luubelaar]

This. They didn't make you faint either. Fainting was fashionable. Society dictated that if a lady saw something considered upsetting or inappropriate, she should show she was unsettled and thus fainting (or pretending to faint) became the thing to do. And yes, a well fitting corset is very comfortable.

[@krankarvolund7771]

@@Luubelaar Plus, a lot of people had tuberculosis, syphillis or other illnesses, that was probably also a reason why everyone was so fragile XD

[@stormveil]

I was about to say this. The historical fashion youtubers have covered this extensively. Badly made, damaged or ill-fitting ones were uncomfortable of course - much like a badly made or ill-fitting bra today is!

[@krankarvolund7771]

@@stormveil And of course, now we see corsets only in movies, who are really bad at reproducing ancient clothing. They rarely get right anything, armour, clothes, weapons, so why expect them to get right the underwear of women? Especially if they can have drama from the legend of the breath-cutting corset ^^

[@Julia-lk8jn]

@@krankarvolund7771 I think corsets could have been a factor in the tuberculosis. The bug that causes that is actually a lot more wide-spread than the visible cases, you can be infected without having any problems. But corsets usually put the most pressure on the lower core --> they keep you not from breathing, but from breathing deeply. Meaning the lower parts of your lungs aren't ventilated, and it's a lot easier for some germs to hang around and happily multiply.

[@ducklingscap897]

Corsets were actually comfortable for most people. They were the bras of the past. If you got the right one it’s nice and supporting. Of course you could choose not to breath for fashion reasons but that was a personal choice of the women who didn’t need to work.

[@mihaelac2472]

People were also thinner, so the corset sat comfortably on them. A bulging stomach will not take well to a corset.

[@scotsam7590]

@@jean-doturgis3896 Interesting and good insight. Yes, both fashion and art come from the same creative base. Fashion IS art and is taught to budding Designers as art at university and like art, not every piece or artist is for everyone. The difference is when fashion becomes functional for daily activity to formal wear. Art is never 'required' to be functional. The 'modern' cat walk is strictly for art and inspiration. Cheers

[@Random-rn1ep]

Just a small comment. Yes Marie-Antoinette was libeled as being a high spender and it was part of the story-telling during the french revolution. However, historical studies have shown that despite spending more than her queens predecessor, it was not to the point it led to bankrupcy or any financial crisis for the French kingdom at that time. She was mostly used as a political scapegoat. As we say in France, "Calomniez, calomniez, il en restera toujours quelque chose"

[@SmartieOfficial]

“Not to be confused with: tschanel, Cristian Diorr and LouisVyton” 😂😂

[@5acha1]

Mettre tout sure le dos de Marie-Antoinette et de l'achat de ses toilettes ayant mené à la Révolution est assez simpliste. Son addiction aux jeux d'argents a sans doute fait plus de dégâts. Sans parler des dettes acquises depuis longtemps. Faire la guerre coute cher, celles de Louis XIV ont pesé sur les dépenses sans parler de la guerre d'indépendance. Et les autre problèmes de trésorerie. Pour parler de la mode de la Révolution, on peut ajouter la mode des Incroyables et des Merveilleuses. Ou de l'impact de l'empire avec Napoléon, notamment avec la robe taille empire qui fut adopté un peu partout. L'impératrice Eugénie joua aussi un rôle dans tout cela. La mode est aussi un objet politique qui permet de s'imposer dans le mode par le biais du soft-power. La France le maîtrise bien avec le développement de son industrie du luxe depuis plusieurs siècles.

[@theladyamalthea]

Okay, STAAAAAHP with the “corsets stop women from breathing!” I wear a corset every single day. I can take full, deep breaths. I love the shape they give me, and they also offer phenomenal back support and even anxiety support because it feels like a lovely hug. Corsets rule!!

"Is fashion overrated?" Yes. Yes it is. Objectively, rationally, it is. If you want to treat it as art, more power to you -- art isn't about rationality. But I don't think the way the world approaches fashion is healthy, and I frankly don't care about it at all beyond "oh, that looks nice."

[@Leebpascal1]

Fun fact : fashion (also used in France instead of mode) comes from middle english facioun, from anglo-norman fechoun, and from old french façon : way, manner (to do/make something, clothes for example)

And by the way, the eye of a Parisian or Parisian educates itself over time. Taking public transport, in 1 glance, we spot the woman wearing a beret (to mark herself as a tourist in Paris, because no Parisian woman wears a beret), the American couple (even without specific brand, the simplest outfit screams "I'm from the USA") and so on ... This is not a judgment. This is an observation.

If I find a shop I like, I will shop my clothes there until they discontinue what I liked. I will import fleece jacket from Scotland and pay import taxes just because i like them. Writing this comment I am wearing a fleece pullover I bought in 2016. It's not pretty enough to wear to work anymore, but still perfect for a cosy sunday. If stuff has minor holes, I will fix them.

I love fashion and paying attention to how I dress, but there is indeed a problem with fast fashion, and I feel like it's coming from people wanting to buy all the new "trendy" things every season. I only buy things I really like, regardless of whether they are trendy, then I wear them for years until they fall apart (or if my size changes) - I think that approach can both make the consumers happier and the fashion brands more ethical.

High fashion is bs. To buy something and throw it out in 6 months because it's out is financially and environmentally irresponsible. I only buy high quality clothes that i know will last and that I can wear for years and years. Because...im more than the "skin" that protects me from the weather. Don't get me wrong, I like nice clothes and have a few nice suits and jackets, but they are more timeless than current fads. Also most of the stuff I, and my wife for that matter see on the runway, we find just ridiculous.

Never in the history of fashion have so many people been able to afford to dress nicely on a budget. Yet, never have they dressed more like 'poo poo ca-ca' .

When she _stopped_ being so expensive and made a point out of _not_ wearing all silk on her portraits, the complaints went straight from _"she's spending too much!!"_ to _"she's not supporting the French silk industry!!"_ Between Mary Antoinette gambling exactly as much as the rest of the court and the common people being the only ones to pay taxes ... it's a bit like blaming Meghan Markle for the current internal conflicts of the UK.

This is why (in my own humble opinion) it is way better to find a general style that you like and that makes you look good (because that just helps when you don't feel great) and then just browse for clothes that work with your pre-established style. It helps guard against fast fashion, and if it's YOUR style, specific to your body and your environment and your comfort level, that's not going to go out of style, because fashion trends are built around generalizations, not individual people. Besides. As far as I can tell, the secret to fashion is confidence. If you feel confident, you will be able to gaslight a good portion of the general populous into thinking you're fashionable. ~.^

Historically, the origin of the french fashion culture is more due to Agnès Sorel (15th century), mistress of Charles VII. At that time, she redefined the court fashion for women, and she influenced all europe. Louis XIV had an immense influence, and yes, the wig fashion is due to him, with dances, ballets and other scenic arts, but the art of clothing was already a french standart.
