The Best Fashion Shows from the 90s (20+ designer brands)

[@LeaPrufrock]

*mesmerised by how fine the fabric is on Bliss' necktie. Genuinely never seen fabric like that*

[@Paulxl]

I love every time Bliss mentions Yohji Yamamoto. Not a big fashion person myself (I love watching people talking about things they are passionate about), but I really like Yohji Yamamoto. Wish I had the body size and the money to afford that kind of clothing.

[@vltraviolet]

I collect exclusively vintage yohji. I think i also really like yohji yamamoto haha

[@Paulxl]

@@vltraviolet I love that kind of esthetic. One day I'll be skinny and have money and I'll start buying everything in his groundY brand.

[@madisworld282]

John Galliano's first show for dior in '97 comes to mind. The tribal themes and the elegance were so striking it's burned into my psyche. There was a lot of pressure on him to succeed and he did it flawlessly. Also the rise of NY designers such as Todd Oldham, Isaac Mizrahi, and Anna Sui

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

john's graduate show with the running and the grand staircase one come to mind hehe and d so cute at the end not wanting to shout, relatable 🤗

[@bryanwashington1094]

Alexander McQueen for Givenchy AW 97 is hands-down my favorite show ever and probably the one I've watched the most. From each look, the falcon, the soundtrack, and Princess Diana..i simply can't get enough of this show

[@piercenigel4670]

if it wasn't supposed to be about classic greece, he really didn't help with the greek-statue-men scattered all around

[@MOTO2N]

Your analyses goes so far beyond fashion, it’s intellectual catnip for everyone who is passionate about what they do.

[@aditiroy678]

Atlast we are talking about the immense impact of 'the supermodels' in fashion for common people. Even the people who didn't care anything about fashion got more and more interested to watch runway shows just to watch them walk.😭😭

[@UCanHaveHim]

I fell head over heels for fashion in 1996 and I never looked back.

[@jacksonjones7212]

12:11 I was like “hey no way that guy looks like Pete davidson” then his picture flashed the screen 😭

[@gdetamlina]

I would add category “when something went wrong and it was beautiful”. Starting with FW1997 by Alexander McQueen (“it’s a jungle out there”), when the pile of old cars was on fire and Lee was like “it’s ok, keep sending models”. And of course including Naomi fall on runway an other iconic moments

[@EMSpdx]

1) The close up of Arnualt's face was YIKES! 2) As a very young person in Brooklyn during that era, all of us devoured the pictures in Vogue, Elle and Interview and then recreated- to vary degrees- the looks on our parents' old Singer machines!

[@Patm-um8tg]

Some of my all time favorite shows made it!! -Versace F/W 1991 - Mugler Couture Spring 1997 and Fall 1995 - McQueen for Givenchy Couture Spring 1997 and for namesake Fall 1998!’ Keep up the amazing videos Bliss !!

[@jamesthomas423]

The voice?!? He can do that… I liked it!

[@piccalillipit9211]

*I KNOW ITS NOT THE QUESTION ASKED* but I can not imagine that Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection 2024 will not be utterly dominant in any future "list" it was astonishing. People I know who are not into fashion CRIED at that. Robert Wun | Haute Couture Spring Summer 2024 was also stunning. The shows this year - OMG

[@janusconner3710]

Ferr shurr. It is not a show that can be compared to any that has ever been presented.

[@piccalillipit9211]

@@janusconner3710 - Its amazing - Ive not even finished watching it in full - I need to dedicate the time to WATCH it and not just have it on in the background.

[@piercenigel4670]

it's just a galliano show. he refrained from doing those for 10 years while he was in margiela jail, and then he came back swinging. but, yeah, it had a lot of margiela in it, and it was beautiful. but i think a good part of the effect comes from the fact that we don't have haute couture creators anymore. he might be the last one.

[@EmptyKingdoms]

​@@piercenigel4670 strong agree.

[@Flaubert]

I met Walter Van Beirendonck several times in Antwerp in his role as the head of the fashion department at the Royal College. He is such a genuine soul. So cool you interviewed him.

[@troyflatland5299]

Please make more funny sassy personality showcasing videos like this. I’ve probably watched hundreds of your videos and felt like this one was different in that regard. Love it!

[@noemileibl]

Not a huge galliano Stan here but his FW 1994 „Sao schlumberger show“ collection comes to mind. It’s typical galliano romanticism, glamour and a mix of various historical, cultural influences but it stands out as one of the most cohesive, well tailored and original (the two latter points being frequent grounds for complaints among critics and clients at the time regarding some of his other collections). I think this show is an amazing example of how to do theatricality and storytelling. Besides this show probably saved his career and the whole backstory is a beautiful example of collaboration between some of fashion‘s most influential people all believing in and supporting galliano.

[@evaevaevaevaevaeva]

Another amazing video! There's something so intriguing about 90s fashion shows - the edginess, mystique, nihilism and carefree playfulness. It's hard to articulate it. Most of these shows would not look out of place in fashion weeks today. They're incredibly inspiring. Thank you for sharing, Bliss ❤

[@seal4597]

This is the best channel that feeds my fashion head and heart.

[@warlokyx]

Bliss @9:11 is a great impersonation of Katya doing a straight-man-voice

You dropping this right when I'm planning a fashion show with a vintage theme for school is absolutely lovely.

Your video is so informative and the shows were nicely categorised, many of the shows you mentioned are still classic!

[@anaelle4776]

Your videos really are my safe place, it’s so interesting and you take us to your own world of your vision of fashion

[@CAM-nn4bx]

Daniella & Bliss this was F’ing awesome, thank you, love ❤️ your work !!

[@alexanderpons9246]

Thank you Bliss & Daniella for all the content you make and for Loving FASHION! Bliss does Daniella is more realistic about being able to wear the pieces or like you she lets the concept and fantasy be? As per John Galiano for me the grandest of all the shows he did was the one on the stairs of the Paris Opera House that I think was for Dior.

[@piercenigel4670]

I LOVE the opera house one - palais garnier. i feel that the people who are completely speechless about the latest margiela artisanal one never saw this palais garnier one. not saying that one is better than than the other, just saying that this margiela show didn't come out of nowhere.

[@alexanderpons9246]

@@piercenigel4670 Very true, but I will say that most likely for the new Fashion Lover crowd The Margiela Artisanal has been that grand in a while. The Palais Garnier was in 1998, twenty +years ago.

[@Retreauxgirl]

My view on the importance of "lists" is different, for instance, a person who is just beginning to discover fashion a list is a great jumping off point/introduction especially coming from someone with the knowledge and respect in the industry that you do. I learned a lot from this video 😍

[@BlissFoster]

You’re much more capable than you think! Go watch our episode about Prada and Fascism. Or our video titled “the most controversial fashion show of all time”. I bet you’ll have no trouble with them 💫💫

[@pretaporterp]

Thanks!

[@BlissFoster]

Thank YOU!’

[@aldogoegan3091]

Thanks though for giving us some lists 🥰😜 I actually just watched the Loic interview with Mugler. A forever genius. And loving that Zendaya just made him go viral again. The theatrical elements of the Yohji show is interesting when comparing to the production of the latest shows. And the supermodels! The 90’s were partially about the models and the clothes competing.

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

the beard and the wildlife v.o.😂 the latter was working for me😅

[@jeromeghartey8967]

Yes Bliss you’re right about the number 13 show the dress was made the day before the show it was talked about in the McQueen film by Sebastian pons. Avant-garde fashion could have been an interesting section to talk about

[@aaronarakawa]

Actually kinda shocked no galliano shows were mentioned, I mean his spring 1994, subsequent fall 1994 show, even the spring 1995 show, his first Dior couture and rtw show- I now demand a patreon exclusive deep dive on galliano!! 😢 lol

[@Rachelle660]

Yaasss do the 00’s and 10’s next ❤👡

[@DetectiveGesicht]

I still think about that 1996 margiela show. It captivated me as a child in the 90s and i dream about it…

[@simmyjester]

11:08 I remember in your other video being disappointed that that Perry Ellis collection was never made. I'm too short and too fat, but it's one of the few fashion shows I've seen (nearly all of them in your videos) where I liked most of the looks and would actually buy them if I had the funds and weren't shaped like the Zoloft blob. Which is hilarious because I turned 10 in 1993. My sense of style is always years behind whatever's fashionable.

[@piercenigel4670]

i feel sorry for your self-esteem regarding your body, but do appreciate your wit

[@koyukidevet]

Also A.F. Vandevorst S/S 1999 Collection!! Very cool show thats not talked ab enough.

[@futurespells]

Another great episode! I love that accent you did, thought it was someone else for a second.😂 Cheers.

[@jamesthomas423]

The “Orig” 5 Super Models was specific to that Vogue cover But Shalom was very much a Super Model of that same era

[@jonathanpersson1883]

Drinking game: Take a shot every time Bliss says fashion

[@arnoldkotlyarevsky383]

In your video about Miuccia Prada, you mentioned that the world of fashion tends to reflexively put distance between itself and politics. Would you be willing to expand on this? I would really love to understand this a bit better and maybe artists you think conspicuously embrace/reject this tendency.

Ice necklace, wich brand?

[@tamaradelempickafacebook]

Galliano, i would think, fall/winter 84-85 at London fashion week & Richmond-Cornejo the same year are definitely two of the best shows I ever seen. Both were so before their time. Unfortunately it dont seems to be any videos of them on KZbin. MTV covered the whole London fashion week back then.

[@nigelseaton8367]

Hello, as I've been a disciple of the great Azzedine Alaia and had the pleasure of meeting him, and Jean Paul Gaultier, in the late 80s , I was hoping to hear your thoughts on his work, especially what he did in the 90s. Thank you😊.

[@mikehunt5926]

i love margiela more every time i see pictures of him in that iggy pop tee

[@8yotam]

Jil Sander should have received a shoutout if mentioning 90’s minimalism

[@yobklim]

For your consideration: Romeo Gigli, specially his late 80’s and early 90’s collections.

[@mkat3475]

yes! nobody seems to know him anymore! I found one of his velvet dresses in Madrid for 20 euros :)

[@ccr2538]

margiela reinvented thrifting in my opinion, before the industrial revolution and the mass comsumption thrifting was how most people got their clothes, and places like the carreau du temple (hosting fw shows every season) was a big market for the "chiffoniers" aka thrift-sellers

[@lizziebennet2084]

To me, the best fashion shows are about the clothes. Not the models or the concept. If I like the clothes, they are the best to me, haha. I love Galliano’s collection for Dior Haute Couture about Japan. Love the fashions shows of Schiaparelli nowadays. Love the Guo Pei collections, love the Mugler ones from the 90’s.

[@klo333]

What about the shows which produced the most income for the business? Purely about monetary gain for the business and not art?

[@maltezos30]

You forgot to mention South Beach in the 90’s the most memorable shows were @ Bal Harbor Ocean Drive Magazine shows Muglar Oribe Versaces house on Ocean Drive ! Miami Beach was the place to be if you were in the fashion industry in the 90’s Rockstars Movie Stars and Supermodels walked the streets Drag Queens were the norm and the clubs were top notch Movies fashion shows everyone who was anyone was there for work shoots and shows Art Deco the Delano fashion shows we’re everywhere! Non stop I would know as I was the Queen of SOBE

Dude, Thierry Mugler did not present Haute Couture Shows until the bug show in January 1997, before that he had couture pieces in his Ready to Wear shows, the 1995 show was his 20 or 25 year Celebration show with James Brown singing....

This video reminds me of Fran Lebowitz saying "There's nothing new because the country is soaked in nostalgia.There is an endless recycling of the culture of the the last 30 years that is really death dealing". Sure 90s fashion is great but harping on it is cringe at this point, it's been overstated. Let's focus on, and do something NEW
