I love your videos, thank you so much. Back then i was a 21 years old fashion student from Holland, that evening after helping Ann Demeulemeester back stage fashion show at some Gallery at Place des Vosges, hurried we went with some other fashion students from Antwerp to an underground old Paris metro station, and yes, I believe i was at this Martin Margiela show. I just remembered the long used jeans transformed to skirts, lots of second hands printed scarfs outfits, sweaters from transparant tights, white painted japanese tabi leather boots. So shocked with the total show back then.

I can't even describe how excited I am every time you describe the location, invitation, interior decor details of the shows, Martin's ideas really are infinite and genius

[@Mdkid3me]

[@parker6206]

I love watching your vids before bed. I dream of clothes ! 😇 Thank you

[@mustardvigilante8777]

I'm a huge fan of your content and I'm a Spanish speaker. And I have to say thank you for your good speaking bliss, you pronounce so well that I understand perfectly almost every single word that you're saying

To me the prince of wales check is a classic menswear flannel pattern, and its a dense structured pattern which people associate w/ masculinity. So maybe Martin was trying to create a female counterpart pattern inspired by the same subject, but this pattern uses soft curves to create its shape which could be considered more feminine. but it's crazy how you notice all these details, these videos inspire me so much!

I just got this book and now here you are! Living for it ❤

[@odysseusstudio5187]

It's so serendipitous that Galliano used vintage scarf for his latest collection. There are so much information that you are bringing to air that makes me appreciate, even more so, what Galliano is doing at the Maison.

[@ejg0296]

Huge fan of the scarf styling in this video. Hats off to you, sir.

I feel like Martin was such a trickster. He may have been a high-end designer but I think his heart was with fashion enthusiast that don't need/have thousands of dollars to look stylish. For instance, he always (at least until now) uses things that you can find in second hand stores or that you can mix n' match yourself and so a poor fashion enthusiast could easily recreate some of his looks and participate in his vision. On the other hand, he needed the money of all those who could afford his creations so that he could support his craft and be relevant in the designer world, so in a sense he still played by the "old rules." But in his collections I always feel like he gives a shout out to people that can't afford high-end creations, like he's telling me "Here's how you can recreate these looks!" The caveat to this is his emblematic shoulder. You need to be highly skilled to recreate that and I feel like this is his way of signaling the level of his craft, not only his concepts.

yet its kind of ironic that margiela clothing is notoriously expensive

[@lpvrb5158]

[@shannail4533]

Just watched the 'We Margiela' documentary, looking forward to the release of 'Martin Margiela: In His Own Words' !

[@dbao]

I'm waiting for you to say "...a reading from the book of Margiela" since it's effectively the bible here 😂

[@BlissFoster]

Marty did help!

[@cinemaocd1752]

Breton stripe is a JPG housecode. I wonder if the breton sweater in this show was a nod to his former boss...

[@acash.]

watchin these while quarantined thank u Bliss. last ep watching Martin go against the grain with his work reminded me of Demna & Guram with Vetements recently. do you think Vetements can be considered a modern Maison Martin Margiela 😂😂😂😂 No of course not, but their purpose is quite similar in my eyes

[@Youngcaptainharlock_]

I believe the olive tanktop/shirt was folded in a way to resemble/reference the prince of Wales motif but i think the black shirt or dress shown looks like it was wetted and then folded in many spherical ways then dried to form those certain creases. Idk if it was intentionally done to reference the prince of Wales crown motif

[@frederik1604]

Hey bliss I have a question for you, I watched your video on yohji(not sure if I spelled I correctly but the y-3 guy) and was wondering something, you seem very interested and impressed by his garments despite not really understanding what is so impressive about it. I completely recognise the a part of the art of expression is being subtle about it, instead of just being obnoxious and loud. But When it gets to a point where you can’t appreciate the art despite actually trying your best and spending lots of time on it, doesn’t that sort of take away from the genius? In my mind art should draw you further and further into itself the more you analyse and appreciate it. It seems oddly gatekept when you make art only Available to appreciate to the 0,1% of the community?

[@BlissFoster]

This is a really great question, thank you so much for asking it. I think the number one thing to remember is that art has many different purposes. As much as I enjoy art that has a lot to dig into, and that can be “understood“ just by looking at it and thinking hard enough, there’s also perfectly legitimate art that is very obscure. Yamamoto is one such artist. His technique and his vision are outstanding, you don’t have to know anything about what he’s “doing“ to be impressed by the garments he puts on the runway. And that’s OK, there shouldn’t be any rules about how you make or present art. I’d love to hear more of your thoughts about this 💫💫

[@hectoromar6631]

I’d love to know the decision making behind crediting an unknown TikTok guy over Gaultier for maintaining the Bretton sweater popular. I got lost there.

[@tashisls7041]

I love you 💕

Chic zip long top!

[@centralxi]

I love you videos and your work but saying donation to the patreon isn’t doing you any favors is misleading. Patrons are literally putting the cereal in your bowl and the lecroix on your table.

[@shannail4533]

Is that why you are wrapping a scarf around your shoulders and waist lol?
