The evolution of fashion is fascinating. Clothing should be displayed as art. It truly is.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

The only way clothing could be considered Art it would be as Decorative Art which is not Fine Art. But in essence, clothing is a Craft/Design and has nothing to do with Art. Otherwise, all well designed and expensive object would be Art, like cars, computers, yachts, jewellery etc. But as Haute Couture is the finest of every aspect of clothing and it DOES make you dream, Art it is! ; )

💖The YSL ice blue is DIVINE. Femininity encapsulated. I love the term “charmeuse”, it expresses the essence of glamour and sophistication .

What a fascinating mini-course through 260 years of fashion history. For anyone who is interested in learning more, and isn't already familiar with her channel, I highly recommend fashion history professor Amanda Hallay's Ultimate Fashion History. She has a lecture series that she uploaded on the history of clothes all the way back to ancient times. She knows her stuff, and she has a great sense of humor to boot.

Sewing garments of the bias uses so much fabric. That YSL ice blue dress is spectacular.

How wonderful to follow history through a college museum archive on women's dresses and formal apparel.

It´s a shame the subtitles aren´t a faithful rendition of the words we hear...

[@KellyBrown-sp5uh]

How lovely

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

For future reference, the H in Haute (couture) is silent.

[@KellyBrown-sp5uh]

Gotta have them all

I guess Kent State hasn't figured out how to use audio.

[@theunsalted9195]

This sounds like absolute shit to say, but I can draw up dress and outfit design ideas without an education in it whatsoever and they honestly look just as good or better than what these top designers create. I guess it’s all about knowing the right people. Now what I cannot do is make the ensembles myself.

[@lindaallen9874]

Get over yourself. These designers studied and trained and worked hard for their reputations. It's not who you know; it's what you can create
