I ordered a CUSTOM clowncore mystery box (& it's WILD)

[@renbdesigns]

Whatever the cinematic universe, we definitely live in it together!! I'm glad you love everything so much!

[@tara1638]

Ren you’re amazing!!

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Ren, your work is phenomenal! This is fashion I dream of 💕 I was misgendered as a child constantly, despite being a cis girl, I guess having a plain face made it hard to tell that the 1970s child in a femmey top, with a bouffy page boy and even little pointy bubbies was a girl, and not a 1979 transgender or gay child (I was mostly offended by the fact that the chances of me being a trans girl or a gay boy in 1979 [i vaguely understood what these old men meant, which is wild] was infinitesimal vs me being a girl with a boyish face). Lol even as an adult as gay clubs in the 90s, I would get tapped on the shoulder and gay men would whisper things to me, which was kinda fun, I could turn around with my boyish hips and face and a full shelf of a freaking bosom..."I do not think I am the queer you're looking for..." anyway I am not nonbinary cuz I do not even want anyone discussing my gender, and at this age, grammar matters more to me personally than gender, plus people of my generation in my region do not get this. but I've embraced looking like anywhich however I want or at least whatever my face looks like in the AM, and this makes some very old part of my heart sing with joy. I don't wanna waste my most masculine days on frillies, as I look more ambiguous, I have been leaning into a butch look that I like, but it's not an adequate style to express myself, so I may need to embrace this...movement!

[@kirrisolly-slade1313]

Those pieces were just so special and beautiful Ren! You’re doing good work!

[@bethknapp4935]

Absolutely beautiful!!!! 🩷💙🩵💛💜

[@RogueVideoRaven]

Ren you’re a true visionary!

[@jennagrace1534]

Seeing the puffy sleeves with a stretchy knit wristband seriously unlocked something inside me. I hate sleeves that end with a skimpy piece of elastic that end up becoming a sensory nightmare when pushed up to the elbow. Button-up cuffs are annoying in themselves because depending on the material, they don’t stay rolled up, or they end up being an awkward length. I want to change all my dress shirts to have sweater cuffs from now on… 😝

[@KathleenIllustrated]

it did the same thing for me!!!!! it's such a fun way to introduce some cozy to an otherwise constricting cuff ✨ have a lovely day, jenna!

[@sarahhornung3721]

that incredibly clowny poofy-sleeved mint/pink top is INCREDIBLE and I think the accurate description for my response is that cute aggression thing. Or just envy, that's possible too 😆

[@crazygossipgurl101]

EXCUSE ME WHAT IS THAT ORANGE EYEMAKEUP! Your defensive eyespots are stunning!!!

[@crazygossipgurl101]

Okay i got past the first minute and PUFFY SLEEBES BATMAN

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Gotta let the world know that I’m poisonous so pls don’t lick me!!! 🐸 the paints I use are from Suva - highly recommend!

[@crazygossipgurl101]

Is it their cake makeup in a palette or their paint tube type ones? I need a purple or burgundy one! (I must look like i have a victorian wasting disease)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I have the cakes! ✨gotta get that TB chic look 💀

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

Ren’s concepts are brilliant. The absolute whimsy and absurdism of it all!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yes! magical

[@qwertydeluxe]

okay this is such refreshingly joyful fashion content, major kudos to you, ren, and of course the lamb

[@cerealoffender4000]

It's a deer dear!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

😉 thanks qwerty!

[@kckazcoll1]

yes I saw it and thought Bambi :)

[@iliveinletters_]

Ren is so talented!!! And your styling made those pieces shine!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thank u frem 🥰

[@orangespiderz]

“Do you ever develop a crush on yourself” lmaooooo I love you. Ren is the coolest, just wow, loved all the pieces 😱🤩🎪!!

[@alli_mode]

I have not watched the rest of the video yet, but that is "Sophia the first" it's Disney jr. Cartoon. Looks like it was made with a lot of love!

[@ilseruwalder1499]

Yesss... wanted to say the same thing. Sophia 😂

[@kaytoomuchsalt5100]

Clicked on this despite not being into clowncore myself cuz I figured it’d be fun, and it WAS, but also I’m surprisingly obsessed with the shirts, especially the button up one. 😍 (The bag is also fantastic but in a way that walks the line between respect and fear.) Ren is amazingly talented, as was your styling! Showstopping incredible never the same totally unique etc. Subscribing to your channel now!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Omg yay!! I’m so glad you gave it a chance & enjoyed yourself. Welcome to the fam! 🌸❤️🥰

[@Blaire_Shoe]

"The bag is also fantastic but in a way that walks the line between respect and fear." YES. Perfect description. Thank you for this 😂

[@nysaloudon311]

I absolutely felt the same way. Not a clowncore girl but I love color and drapey fabric. Those shirts are stunning and such creative and unique use of fabric from thrifted shirts. Inspiring!

[@hannahg5479]

This is not my aesthetic AT ALL, however... I am OBSESSED with the pink & green blouse. It's impeccable, and I would 100% scoop it up in a shop if I saw it.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yay!! It’s so good, right?! 😭 thanks for watching, Hannah :)

[@mjmaddocks1132]

I really liked the shirt with the sideways pocket but also liked the silk one! And the bag! Wonderful! Cannot choose

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hehe they’re all! So! GOOD!

[@Tackleboys]

Wow!!! Ren killed it!! I love the way you styled these pieces! Wowwwww

[@myownbravado]

Oh my gosh, these are some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen! The diagonal shirt with the huge sleeves is something that I need in my life right now immediately!! Ren is absolutely so talented, and you completely rocked these looks

[@KathleenIllustrated]

right? RIGHT?! so glad you enjoyed - thank you for watching!

[@andirogynous5406]

The princess on that one blanket was Sophia the First. She's from a Disney junior show. The theme song was a trending sound on tiktok for a while. The "I was just a girl in the village doing alright, then I became a princess overnight" one.

[@cloudgoose]

I LOVED those blouson sleeves on that asymmetrical lil crop. so lovely and fun.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ren is a wizard 😭 thanks for watching!!

[@kat_thefruitbat]

OMG…I am blown away! 😳😍 Ren clearly did an amazing job of communicating what you like and translating that into these incredibly unique + creative pieces, which truly compliment/embody your captivating presence and personality, Kathleen!! 😍❤️ They clearly know what’s what when it comes to a quality construction as well; a Hong Kong finish is my absolute favorite way to seam just about any garment!!👌And as you said, those slippery satins are tricky to work with, so extra kudos to their sewing skills!! 😵👏 This was such an awesome collab!! I love that you continue to shine a light on other amazingly unique creative artists- it’s always a treat to find out about more amazing people via your channel!! Will definitely be bookmarking Ren’s site!! 👍👍😊

[@jacquelinejewison3728]

Ok but the bow tie/necklace/ cravat is inspiring me so much right now. I’m gonna take it upon myself to make this a thing

[@nanner3135]

Wow these pieces are incredible and i feel inspired to take several shirts i dont wear because of sizing issues and mashing them together so i actually wear them.

[@samantrapatricia-smulenbur1599]

THE BOW ON THE BAG I absolutely looooove these pieces

[@KathleenIllustrated]

SO GOOD 😭 🎀

[@Tackleboys]

🎉🎉🎉 what an amazing collab! Another amazing video from our girl Kathleen ❤❤❤

[@dahlia-jane]

What an absolutely captivating video!! Your editing is so lovely as well. Wishing the utmost success to you.

[@asaalonge4338]

Those tops would look smashing with the clown ruff and a big puffy skirt! I love the color combos and the fabrics you got!! So fun!

[@ritalynb7070]

I likes the top with the asymmetric front & puffy sleeves!! I have a friend who has been doing something similar (using pre-loved clothing & fabric to design new clothing items) for about 15 years. She sells at festivals & fairs all summer long & spends her winters designing new collections. Love it!! ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Wowwww I love that!!! Especially the idea of creating all winter & unleashing it on the world in the spring. So cool 👏🏼

[@jeanneobbard]

Ren's pieces are so great, I love the volume!! 💜 May I propose the "Happy Pierrot Cinematic Universe" - Lambie will be the breakout fan favorite and get a spin-off movie, voiced by Pedro Pascal. 🐑🌟

[@RogueVideoRaven]

This video is AMAZING Ren is a true visionary, I am salivating at the designs and will be saving up for a piece of my own

[@lilliandutch3314]

I'd buy a dark version of the bag in a heartbeat.

[@desertvibes6080]

[@enchantedviolinart]

OMG Ren is a creative genius!

[@quenepacrossing4675]

That bag goes H A R D. it’s so fun and well concieved. I wanted so badly for the collar to do into a pocket and it DID.

[@LexxG]

Oh my goodness I was like why does that volunteers of America look so familiar. That’s been my favorite one for the past 7 years 💕

[@KathleenIllustrated]

No way!!! 🔥✨

[@KimiPetri]

I NEED that shirt with a bow!!!! It is AMAZING!!! 😮

I think Ren should have a special state of their own in Creatopolis where all creatives live (I’m👋at you!); hers called RenBFabopia😅(sorry not very creative when I can’t sleep🙁)! 🤔 I wonder what they’d come up w/ for teensy-tiny 63 yr old me… might just find out!

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

I absolutely love love love seeing spring nature frolics when the world is still brown & grey with just pops of new life! I love exploring & hiking this time of year. We don't have much blooming in montana yet & our few early spring plants just got covered in fresh snow (nov-mid April = winter, spring is just late April to midJune, with a couple snows thrown in to keep life interesting), but I found baby mullein leaves last week, so foraging season is afoot! Love this channel, watching a couple unusual Hannah Poston videos got me some great new recommendations!

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]
