The History of the Vivienne Westwood Pearl Choker, Corset, & Punk Fashion

[@Gaijin-Chick]

Always love these type of vids. Living in Tokyo in the early 2000s and being a part of the harajuku fashion scene, it’s interesting to see how much of an influence her collection has on gothic lolita and the Japanese punk and visual kei scenes.

[@Lara-vo6rp]

awesome

[@Kebbythetraveler]

Vivienne was very influential on many different fashion subcultures worldwide but mini-crini was SO important/influential for lolita fashion. The short cupcake silhouette of her mini-crini skirts is now the foundational silhouette of lolita fashion coordinates. I can't remember if it debuted earlier but she also invented the rocking horse shoe, another big lolita fashion staple. I noticed some bloomer shorts in the collection too which might be a precursor to pumpkin pants, common in ouji or "prince" fashion, a companion to lolita's princess. Her heart-shaped and boston bags have also been very popular accessories in lolita fashion for decades!

[@pssurvivor]

i hope this becomes a series. please also cover non western designers

[@victoriamarx3267]

I'm 42 and when I was a teenager I loved watching Fashion file and never missed an episode. I only found your videos a few months ago and I gotta say you've made me fall in love with Fashion again and the art form it really is, thank you. Also I think you're hilarious

[@barbaragoeben9188]

I miss Fashion File also

[@Elhastezy888]

😆 my friend & I would call ourselves fashion-o-philes lmao Love-love-loved the show

[@tammymcleod9860]

Fashion file was the best show! I learned so much about fashion from that show

[@tdsollog]

I was born in 1971, and was a teen in the 80s. I wanted to be a fashion designer “when I grew up”, and Westwood was and is soooo inspiring and influential. (So was Keith Haring, RIP). Thank you for doing this video.

[@soulfoodsmama2980]

Yes, yes, YAAAAS! Vivienne has always and will always be my favorite. 🖤✨

[@hautelemode]

🤩🤩🤩

[@danielclaeys7598]

Definitely do a 90s. Westwood's collection of Victorian insanity was used in the Robert Altman movie "Ready to Wear". Of all the clothes, her's was the most memorable.

[@hautelemode]

haha i’ll have to get started now!!

[@chrisgreek4285]

Yes please! I learned a few things I did t know, so I a, interested in seeing what else I didn’t know about her❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@AnneliesDeroy]

I've come to realize throughout this video that Vivian has some of my favorite styles: punk/rock-fashion, creepers, pirate-inspired fashion, platform shoes, stripes & plaid patterns, suits and pearl necklaces of course!

[@blossomtiger7015]

Please I am begging you Luke please go into the 90s era till the present as it was spectacular and we really need to have this to get the scope of her brilliance . This was highly enjoyable, in-depth and truly detailed . More please . I love this ! Excellent ❤⚔️🏴‍☠️

[@summerbandicoot4761]

I literally received my first VW earrings today and I’m sooo in love. Amazing timing Luke!

[@hautelemode]

enjoy them!!!!

[@louisesuth8141]

I bought a tshirt back in 1978, oh my how i wish i still had it! Had to sneak out the house wearing it, as my dad so disapproved!

[@magpiesneedle2575]

Brilliant. And thank you for such detail regarding Harris Tweed coming from Scotland and trained in tailoring by my father. He would have loved how you specified’British’ and ‘English’ tailoring being from Irish.

[@omalleythealleycat16]

Here from your BAFTA video shoutout! Ty for the history lesson, compiling accurate historical info into digestible and INTERESTING media is so valuable and harder than it seems! Would love to see more videos like this from you ♥️

[@sj28771]

coming back to comment adter your most recent vid! I loved this video i am obsessed with Vivienne and love this deep dive!

[@hopenield8234]

Just heard about this video on yourSAG roast. Would have watched it before if the algorithm had deigned to tell me about it. Great piece!

[@abs0lutelyn0t]

Thank you, Luke for this

[@hautelemode]

no thank you for watching!!!

[@lucky-belindaniko9732]

I love your videos Luke! You've taught me so much about fashion! I personally loved the Harris Tweed collection, especially the school uniforms and corsets. Vivienne Westwood was truly one of a kind. Please talk about her collections in the 90s next!

[@claireowo]

wow i didnt know about keith harring being deep in westwood history Thank U Very Educational

[@Tesssasasasaaasa]

I've mainly watched the fashion reviews for the history tid-bits you bring, I love this! Thank you!

[@Emily_onFashion]

Love this so so so so much!!! 🖤🖤🖤 Especially the part where you set the context for Minnie Crinny as it juxtaposed against what other designers were doing! Thank you! I would definitely watch your video on her 90’s collections!!!

[@mairsryan]

Well done retrospective on an iconic fashion designer who obviously influenced generations. Westwood is presented here as a prophetic voice and one who did not give up on her vision.

[@indiabilly]

Love this thank you, didn’t know most of it and it’s fascinating to see the evolution xx

[@MariusMoonbeam]

Amazing as always Luke!

[@yascabot4711]

I'm a nineties kid, you need to do a video on Vivienne's 90's collections.

[@mattdearest]

I CLICKED THE NOTIFICATION SO FAST 😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥

[@happybat1977]

Oh that flat fronted bodice/corset... still kicking around as a panne velvet rip off in goth shops of the mid nineties. How I wanted one....

[@AzothDee]

You are awesome. Always appreciate your perspective.

[@julianjohannessen5069]

Yes please Mr Haute, make an episode of Vivienne from the 90s also. Please.

[@Ug1i]

Omg yes yes yes I love these kinds of videos ❤🎉

[@affieaddict3720]

Well done as an intro to Vivienne's work. Thank you

[@TracyD2]

I remember seeing Herrings prints on music videos in the 80s. In the videos themselves. I never knew at the time where it came from.

[@anabolyn]

I would love to hear a podcast with you ❤

[@dinkusoninkus]

More Westwood please! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jmjpmc]

THANK YOU❤ GREAT VIDEO ❤

[@janinegaylard9233]

More! More! More! As much as I love your roasts, this fashion history girly needs this

[@KamiHerr]

thank you for the research! very informative!

[@TheVadsten]

So interesting and inspiring

[@furan4773]

not me tearing up because her work is so incredible

[@bobbyantonelli7978]

I am not a student of fashion, unless you count watching you as my educator, and I do. I own a Harris Tweed sports coat, and frequently heard the name “ Harris Tweed “. Well I asked Siri, and I was thrilled to find out about Scottish history and Hebrides wool fabric. I wish I knew more about this. The point is, although not a fashionista, I was proud that I’d picked out and still wear a quality garment in which I feel sort of “ special “. Love your videos.

[@TaylorJohnson1]

My favorite collection is Harris Tweed. Brilliant!

[@katewheeler7683]

I now forgive my mother for dressing me in homemade plaid skirts in the early 80's - Thank you Luke!

[@mariannamonteiro6146]

Heyyyy loved the vid, I really appreciate ur work !!!so detailed and beginner friendly🤝

[@adaurey8520]

LOVED this video, thank you so much! Please do a 90s video! I love that you reference the designer’s work through your outfit. ❤

[@danalasmane6191]

Thanks! What a trailblazing woman! I do have to admit that as someone who has a bad habit of spraining my left ankle, I shudder at the thought of those ultra high-heeled WW shoes that made Naomi stumble on the catwalk - knowing the pain, that's the stuff of nightmares for me.😀

[@ryanalexandra1297]

I- I’m gonna try to diy a bone shirt 😮 Out of all the designs I’ve seen I’ve NEVER seen those wow they’re so cool. She was just so damn cool.

[@Elhastezy888]

Recently went to the Punk Rock museum in Vegas & there are some truly incredible leather jackets & other clothes in there D.I.Y'ed by now famous musicians back when they were young & not famous. Those bone shirts immediately reminded me of the museum & I think it would be insanely cool to make one!! I wonder if you could get fake bones(?) I'd live to make one with fake bones lol

[@itsdrea2353]

@@Elhastezy888maybe Etsy or a Halloween store for the bones?

[@anafernandezsaiz]

Please! I love VW but I am indeed more mesmerized by your fun, interesting videos and knowledgeable approach to fashion and designers❤

Hello That "perforated cotton" is aka broderie anglaise

Fun video! I lived through those times and a chameleon-like sense of fashion was a plus. Just a note: pronunciations *ur* muhn (ermine) *dam* uhsk (damask)

[@pruemckechnie]

LOL how perfectly tailored is the red "bondage suit" pictured in this. soooo Westwood

Mini crini and a bit of Pirate is very reminiscent of leigh bowery's baby fashion show/styles.

It should of been Vivienne instead of Karl for the MET Gala!

My favorite part is that she got much better and more creative after she stopped working with the guy who called uncreative lol
