you should make a video talking more in detail about sailor moon's fashion. It was soo ahead of its time, also Nana's and Tokyo Revengers' (although the characters are guys, the outfits from the official art and manga covers are fashionable)

yessss I love the different outfits in sailor moon

[@xCindyLouWhox]

Yesss please!!

Yes! Also love how the characters are based on astrology/planets.

I could absolutely go for a whole video on fashion in sailor moon. Or even just in shoujo manga (Nana was hugely influential on me, I'm still in love with the vivienne westwood accessories on blast, and hatchi and sachiko's more cute outfits)

[@elizabethclarke4981]

If u didnt read it already, also check out Gochinko Monogatari from the same autor, Ai Yazawa, its plot its all about fashion so everyone is dressed in weird cool stuff and I love it so much

I always like in animation/comics when the creators have an interest in fashion! It just adds some more fun to the characters and the world building as well! I was introduced to this dress because of the image of sailor Pluto tbh. I would love to see you talk about the swan dress bjork wore at the Oscar's for a future video.

[@tolenkkeinugroho4035]

They should do that more

[@mariapaz6379]

@Erwin Lii was thinking about the same. I think its a great case, because Jojo's is obviously a manga created for men, but it breathes fashion in every character design and into the absurdity of the manga itself.

[@bondbond5397]

You should check out NANA and Paradise Kiss by Ai Yazawa. Her characters are very fashionable and she especially loves Vivienne Westwood

[@casper7319]

Iconic dresses I'd love to see analysis on are: Keira Knightley's green Atonement dress, Halle Berry's Oscars dress, Jessica Rabbit's red dress, an entire profile on Cher's relationship with Bob Mackie!

- Paris Hiltons 21st birthday dress -Playbunny costume -Marylin Monroe seven-year itch movie

[@hinka9391]

As much as I love the iconic fashion moments series I’d like to see the history of average clothing pieces like suits or particular prints. It would let people appreciate the things in fashion we take for granted.

Setsuna/Sailor Pluto is also the oldest Sailor Senshi, so her clothing would be more sophisticated than the rest of the squad. She was also assigned to guard the Space-Time Door, so Maybe Naoko also chose the dress because the chains could symbolize her essentially being trapped in her duty.

[@Hannah-rq8yg]

i'm still so impressed by naoko takeuchi's grasp of fashion. it's such a joy to watch her dress up her characters! hero or villain, they all wear pieces that complement their personalities perfectly.

[@haneul4164]

I love that people do their own diy versions of high fashion. Modest people have the same right to look glamorous as rich people. Our grandmas used to sew their own dreamdresses because they couldn't afford them even in their wildest dreams and they wanted to look beautiful at least sometimes when they weren't working hard as hell. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I hope as a trend it stays.

[@maggie5990]

Chanel has to be one of my favorite high fashion brand and I can’t even afford it~

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

If you learn to sew, you could make something similar for yourself.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I love the chain dress. The way the chains drape, especially over the hips, reminds me of the mantua gown. It’s such a gorgeous detail. I’ve always loved Chanel. They managed to mix old world glamour and tradition without ever getting too old or frumpy. I mean, I could wear a boucle suit (not that I could afford it) from the 60s and immediately look chic and stunning. No change necessary. Everything just holds up. I just wish Coco hadn’t been a Nazi supporter. That’s a bit of a downer.

[@everest2470]

True that you shouldn't idolize coco but good news the brand is now owned by a Jewish family so no harm in buying yourself a quality piece I just wish the brand itself wouldn't idolize her either

[@nikoletta3855]

idk if you are into anime but a video on the infuence western high fashion had on manga (like jojo's bizarre adventure or sailor moon etc) and vice versa could be pretty cool I think

[@Buzz0Killington]

Although it’s not a iconic fashion moment, I would love to see a video with your take on the practice of pitting styles against one another, i.e. those horrifying “who wore it best” polls from the US weekly days of the 2000s.

[@Buzz0Killington]

@Sam Paulson ModernGurlz definitely recognizes a bad and unflattering trend when there’s one to be recognized but I think she appreciates how different people can bring their own flavor to the same dress or piece of clothing. Those “Who wore it best” comparisons always pit women against each other even when they both looked perfectly fine. I’m also wondering if there are any trends to take note of with who was typically awarded as best? Did age, race and weight have any influence? I suspect they may have.

[@pezjunkie13]

When you referenced Sailor Moon as one of your title menus I literally threw my arms in the air and yelled “YES!” I love your videos and I was so hoping you’d mention Sailor Pluto sporting the iconic dress. A+ content as always 👌

Before i even clicked the video, i read the title and said to myself "oh she better put miss Sailor pluto up in the pictures" next thing i know, she's in the thumbnail, love how Naoko Takeuchi incorporated fashion into some art of Sailor Moon, i think it could be a great topic to touch on in a video... loves it

Half blaming the “straights” for calling anything non popular camp and half blaming the stylists or whoever is responsible for not even googling what camp means.

[@chocolateperfume752]

Honestly i don't really understand what it means, would u care to explain?

[@dan-gy4vu]

@@chocolateperfume752 I may not be the best person to answer this, but I'll try my best. Camp is not just ridiculous. Camp is not just big. Camp is taking something we find unappealing and we make it work. oh my dad hated my guts for being "feminine"? now I have huge heels and i sway my body like a maracas as I walk with the street as my runway and the car lights as my spotlight. oh wearing make up makes us a "sissy" and "fake"? then let's use the gaudiest, brightest, and sexiest colors and throw them all in our face until we dont look human anymore. this is just one definition of camp but it is my favorite because it explains why it seems like gay people tends to like being flamboyant and feminine.

ngl lily rose depp makes my jaw DROP with that dress. The dirty blonde hair, minimal makeup and dress just...wow

[@TheSolitaryGrape]

I think another aspect of this dress's popularity on TikTok, specifically among people making designer dupes and upcycling, is that from a design standpoint it's relatively simple to recreate on a budget. The base is a black dress with a fitted bodice & sleek skirt, which is easy to make with a relatively small amount of fabric and/or modify an op shop dress into. After that, it's basically just some strategically placed gold chains, which are so easy to find/make with either secondhand jewellery, Halloween decorations & spray paint, or any other similar thing. Plus some broaches and you're good. It has a simple elegance that is (in my opinion) universally wearable and appealing, which is part of the genius of the design.

[@mapatterson173]

I love the Chanel chain dress. It hints at the vast Chanel costume jewelry collection, but it also pays homage to one of Chanel’s earliest breakthrough fashions: the cardigan jacket/suit. It seemed like such an uncomplicated design, but it is a fine example of Coco’s understanding of a well made/ well tailored garment. In her cardigan jacket design, she incorporated a chain sewn along the inside hem of the jacket, thus adding subtle weight to the bottom and giving hidden structure to the simple silhouette. It wasn’t the first time a designer added weight to the bottom of a garment (or draperies for that matter), but it is emblematic of what goes in to good couture garments. There is a lot of splashy pulp couture fashion out there, big names and bigger price tags. But classic couture is about quality from the quality of the fabric used, to the quality of the construction of the garment-from seamstress to tailor fitting-and the quality of the designers knowledge designer in how to put it all together. While keeping stock of was is currently trending. So, finally getting back to the chains on the dress: they are a visual celebration of all things Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld’s incredible understanding and talent. And to see Lily Rose Depp, who quite possibly cut her teeth in the Chanel fashion house, wear the Chanel Chain dress on the Red Carpet brings the whole thing full circle, and gives the meaning to timeless fashion. Well, I’ve run on enough about this topic that aired almost a year ago. But darling, that is what old people DO.
