Tim Blanks Breaks Down Iconic 90's Fashion Shows

[@rosalienuxe7026]

Tim needs his own channel. I’d subscribe in a heartbeat!

[@fakenorwegian4743]

Indeed! He is so interesting.

[@KennyLovesKateMoss]

I could watch him talk about fashion, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista ALL DAY!

[@Lolololololh]

This is such an amazing series. Inviting the industry’s most prolific and legendary editors and letting them break down all the iconic shows that really changed fashion in detailed and well articulated commentaries, it doesn’t get better than that. Also it amazes me how Tim has a great memory of the past and knows every model, every reference, and basically just everything about these shows.

[@johnayalachef]

I see Tim Blanks and I watch, listen and learn.

[@mimmaviglezio692]

Tim Blanks interesting and informed comments, his curious anecdotes AND his lovely accent made my day. Thank you.

[@hkbenedictma]

huge Tim fan since the Toronto life fashion file days in the 90s. Tim needs his own fashion museum/archive so we can enjoy for years to come

[@SF-fb6lv]

22:00 Alexander McQueen walking with that model on the runway was just beautiful, just beautiful energy; those two playing like children in the rain!

[@silentstarr5]

I loved Tim Blanks show Fashion File back in the 90s. It was appointment tv every Saturday afternoon on CBC.

[@canadianbuttpunchgoddess3058]

Me too. I worked with him over 30 years ago. He is exactly who you see. An intelligent, informed member of the fashion press. It has been a joy to see him make a place for himself in the fashion and contribute to a greater understanding of the industry. I loved those 90's shows as well.

[@KennyLovesKateMoss]

Big up to Tim Blanks for talking about being lit while at shows. And for still being obsessed with his favorite supermodel Lina Evangelista. The way he says her name kills me!! Thank God there are others out there that love fashion as much as i do!!!!

[@franklinporter4529]

High fashion is long dead. Creativity was the order of the day with couture. Now fashion is mass market , created only for a quick buck. Elegance, quality and unbelievable beauty are but a distant memory in the fashion industry.

[@soanemoa2191]

I totally agree!! Rip glamour

[@Wormyquormy]

THESE ARE TOO GOOD! Please keep these going! i'm entranced! Would listen all day to Tim and Susie talk about anything!

[@blackvirgo09]

Can show studio please bring this back it was so good

[@sandorskenner6445]

Sr. Tim, es increíble la elección realizada, ellos representan el poder de la creatividad y del trabajo duro, donde se percata el estudio previo que se realiza para cada colección y en el que cada detalle tiene un sentido y un ser.

[@abrahamnasiri7684]

I need showstudio to make a youtube series interviewing galliano/dior 90s era models who got paid by taking home the clothes and still keeping them to this day!

[@chaddyormillo1164]

Dior died after they ousted John. And now he is more happy and peaceful at the house of Maison Margiela....💋

[@bringiton5282]

Bill Gaytten and Raf did put out some great pieces and Maria Grazia's couture can be beautiful sometimes but overall there's no excitement anymore or very little compared to what it was.

[@chaddyormillo1164]

@@bringiton5282 yeah the magic has lost no more element of surprise.

[@aryebognar6663]

​@@chaddyormillo1164, they don't want to be surprised by an anti-Semitic drunk.

[@flazeda8743]

Creatively you mean? Cause Dior is doing very well rn. 🤔

[@BrandonUniqueMorin]

More of these please

[@pip.c]

Thank you for these!! 😍💘

[@DornaAprin]

yeaaaa exactly.

[@charlesphillips6803]

I was up every Saturday w the VCR waiting to record in e!. Fashion file and fashion television on vh1

[@spyrdol]

The fall/winter 1995 collection by Tom Ford for Gucci changed so much for the entire industry.

[@bringiton5282]

Back in September, when I skipped a pattern cutting class to wait outside fashion shows, the people I was the most excited to see were not celebs but Tim, Suzie, Grace Coddington, Jo Ellison, Vanessa Friedman, Robin Givhan, Elizabeth von Guttman, Christiane Arp, Lucinda Chambers, Carine Roitfeld, Anna Wintour, Emmanuelle Alt ... People with experience who have an understanding and a knowledge of the industry as a culture and a business. More and more I realize that clothes are words, so first, I just want to listen.

[@closestsight2heavn]

this is beautiful

[@sweeyeo9330]

Absolute. Natively, JPG S/S '94 was the spearhead of the 20th centurion's contempo~ -tribe~melli-craftwear. And intriguely, Dries van Noten's S/S was also on the other incredible maidens' era ..with loads of models streaming gradually from the fortress, while the supreme Galiano's §CDior's§ was the ultimate Nefettitii's haute-couture.[ my flashback, notably; 30 yrs ago!] Me`moir❤

[@t_h_e_v5000]

I love these new series ❤️

[@emmyandboo]

I love how he adds that he may have been on a mind altering substance during the Gaultier show hehe

[@nicholashilton2514]

Cathy Horyn and Robin Givhan next please!!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

Love the drape bustle white coat and imagine walking around the rooms! John can set design! Broadway? Yas!

[@fakenorwegian4743]

This has been a great series. It would be nice to see someone like Tim lead a panel or two now and again. I hope they have Andre Leon Talley on as well. Experience gives you awareness. Experience gives one a reference point for what is sublime, and what is inferior. Tim, Suzy, Leon, and even Cathy Horyn represent a generation of fashion critics and style makers who had opinions, and appreciated real creativity. Now we have Liza Koshy on the red carpet at the Met Gala. I just can't get engaged with the fashion world right now. I do have fond memories though.

[@roberttilbury9761]

More of this content please 😊😊😊

[@yfm.mp4]

i've been reading Mr.Blanks' writings since STYLE.COM and honestly, no one can intelectualize and elaborate fashion in an artistic POV but also aware of its commercialization & capitalistic nature. I adore him!

[@charlylopez8063]

I love the anecdote he said about Gisele "She was too curvy to book jobs in New York and so she was going to send her to London and she might get more work in London".

[@uberglamazon]

Lovely video.

[@joesteven4872]

is there a way we can hear the music theme of the show ..which i think was a wonder full piece of music !

[@marthenri]

Anything with Tim makes me happy.

[@tsummersb]

I cut my teeth on fashion during this era. I remember watching Style w/ Elsa Klensch, Fashion TV, House of Style. etc. Oh, the fashion shows! The 90s were a special time. They don't make them like this anymore, kids!

[@helohalo3106]

Alexander fury next please

[@biaotoch]

Need his own channel!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

I fucking love that mcqueen collection! Cheeky og title. But genius revised title! So this was such art if he didn't produce many of these. Love the heels for the men! Such sexy clothes! Andorgyny and power. Perfection!

[@karin7.london]

Kia Ora Tim

[@yach2582]

fashion died when john galliano left dior, and mc queen killed himself, no more reason.....

[@anthany4719]

The 2010's suffered a great deal after these two events. I'm not sure if the fashion world has fully recovered 😂

[@sihamstakeon3445]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@nicholashilton2514]

yassir chakir I agree. John fired from Dior, McQueen’s untimely death and Marc Jacobs leaving Vuitton all felt like swan songs to me. Fashion truly changed after that. Those few years felt really pivotal.

[@indirasharma8750]

Tim Blanks waffles. He see's things that aren't even there. Out of all this waffle I've learnt nothing new.

[@LifeWithShaqXO]

Not, CRUSTIES. Ha
