First of all I wanted to mention that Schiaparelli is one of the few brand that everyone who will look at a piece or a collection will say that it’s beautiful. And it doesn’t matter if that person has a big expertise and understanding in fashion or watches the first show in their life and I think this is really remarkable for a brand to achieve. I think the theme of godesses is really fitting for the situation with the virus right now because it shows how bad the situation really is. Even literal godesses have to get down to the people to solve this situation. I also think it’s interesting for Daniel to only use three colors and even though only using such a limited amount of colors, two of them being monochromatic, being able to achieve such a feeling of opulence. And with Schiaparelli it’s good opulence you don’t feel cringed out when watching these pieces you are more of in a state of amazement. They use gold in such a different way which is not comparable with brands like Versace or dolce gabana in my opponion. I hope you understood what I meant with my texts and it made sense somehow. Please excuse my englisch it’s really not the best🙏

Never too late to take about either Schiaparelli or Roseberry. Brilliant concept and execution. Art in fashion.

[@viniciusvallesalves3029]

Daniel is one of those (like margiela, rick owens, demna, CCP, vivienne westwood and etc) that reminds me each WHY im obsessed with the art of fashion and why i should still pursue a career in fashion, despite how hard/challenging it can be

[@samuel619ism]

You should take that love and look back into fashion even further to solidify your convictions. All of the names with the exception of Westwood that you mention actually are part of the era that shifted the field to one that would be hard/challenging to be an earnest lover of beauty in. But once you can internalize the richer history and all our connections to it, you’ll start to see your agency in your vision, I hope. Each culture has its own vast story of adornment; these people didn’t invent clothes, or Beauty.

[@electronclouds8280]

I really love analyzing this through the lens of sci fi. The austere, the surreal, the oppulent and the ordained are themes that seem to scream through this show. They're all feelings evoked by the universe and our own exploration of it. I love that a dress can make me feel the same way as I do looking out at distant constellations. I'm seeing something that's other worldly, but not unknowable. Roseberry's killing it. These dresses feel like they were created in a flash of light, as a result of a chemical reaction (or maybe just the will of the goddess herself). The structures aren't exactly INorganic, but they aren't from any sort of organic process that we're familiar with on earth. The result is an otherworldlieness that doesn't feel too far from home, from our own years of discipline and struggle. This is clearly the wardrobe of a cosmic being, but one who may be more similar to us than it seems. What a brilliant show, and a brilliant analysis Bliss!

Thank you for reading show notes. I can’t believe how many shows I’ve looked at without having the preparation and framing of the artist’s intent and their personal, emotional relationship to the show.

[@astrogallus]

I love the story he weaves in the show notes for this collection. The collection itself is gorgeous. I really appreciate the contrast with the previous seasons he has done. This season seems much more elegant to me. It is nice to see Roseberry show his skill with these more pared down designs, after the opulence and excess of his past collections. The ability to do both subtle and in your face speaks to his broad range and vision.

[@augiebent1776]

Daniel Roseberry is my favorite fashion illustrator. His drawings are as a surreal and beautiful as the garments he designs and, in my opinion, is what allows him to conceptualize a lot of the crazy looks he puts together

[@libelula1715]

ending with "temperance" is fitting -the show notes mention the high priestess. both archetypes of the tarot

[@bobsteam2454]

The segment from 8:05-8:57 about the sci fi references and supreme gargantuan-ness is so spot on and why I loved this collection

[@Bei.Incubi.Omnus.]

I need to watch this twice, maybe three times. I’m so here for it. I don’t know if I could wear any of these outside of my home? But at home, where I am mostly, yes, I would most certainly wear it. But I might even need it to sit on display, beyond fashion, not as decor, but, regarded as art. I can’t rock the crystal tears, but the eye… I’d happily wear it as a brooch or necklace. Have you any knowledge of “lover’s eyes” in art history? Awesome Bliss, thank you!

[@unusualfauna]

I thought this video was really great. My knowledge of the world of fashion is limited to the streetwear influenced end predominantly, so find the haute couture and womenswear stuff super informative. I think you are absolutely correct about the lack of a pageant of freedom to mark the end of the pandemic... Sliding quietly out with the spectre of COVID still looming large leaves a lot to be desired.

[@jolynerenelle]

6:56...That's me in a nutshell...I LOVE Schiaparelli!

[@mbelieve9919]

I just love Schiaparelli. I wish there was a larger presence to shop the brand in my area. The pieces are both creative and gorgeous, which can be hard to find together in fashion.

[@prettypuffprincess]

I’m So In Love With ALLLLL OF HIS GENIUS

[@nikolinakonjevod6167]

Thank you so much for doing another episode on Schiaparelli! I’ve recently read Caroline Evans’ article about Elsa Schiaparelli’s work where the author describes inter-war Paris as “shifting, insecure and rootless, a time without depth when meaning could be read off surfaces”, which I think is certainly conveyed with the Roseberry’s “tempered opulence” that appears as a result of the new instabilities that occurred with the pandemic. But I think it is also worth considering how although Elsa Schiaparelli tended to reconstruct female identity on the surface of the body, she still didn’t aim to present the one unified identity. Rather, she introduced the idea of an undetermined and heterogeneous subject that is a woman, encompassing all of her ‘roles’ in society, which I believe is again repeated and reflected in Roseberry’s different embodiments of one goddess; one woman.

[@ErinKadwood]

I loved the complete flip from hope, joy and bright colours. To black, Jaded, scepticism and sharp points 🙃🖤

[@mckenna5272]

i love your runway analyses cuz without them i wouldn't know anything abt what was going on LMAO i love your content sm it is super helpful for someone like me who is just getting into fashion

[@rbrnr...]

Thought + question -> Daniel’s work makes me think about the relationship between “big picture” and “small detail” ideas… I see a difficult push/pull relationship between over-intricacy and pertinent fulfillment of your ideas (worrying too much ab detail and not focusing on the big idea or vice versa)… but dammit they nailed it How do you think aspiring designers could improve their own ability at this?

[@goldieARZ]

As many of the pieces sublimely echo Elsa Schiaparelli's pioneering surreal motifs - and as your commentary emphasizes, 'Yes we are still in a period of restraint' . And it is Schiaparelli's galactic Goddess in her many forms that seems to be instructing us --- "Scrutinize carefully what your Eye sees, your Ears hear, your Lips speak and per those deliciously conical bras -- Keep Your Damn Distance!!!" I always learn sooo much from your Fashion Master Classes. Schiap-Happy!

[@BlissFoster]

This comment made me really happy, thank you 😌

[@budsaba9379]

You da best

[@unicondidit]

Love your video!❤ I really wanted to see Vivienne Westwood tho 😫

[@kateramallo926]

Daniel listened to Planet Her while designing this

[@samuel619ism]

Always so refreshing, doing your part to educate and thereby democratize the Lens. 2 quick things: first, just because she doesn’t want or need to sit and eat soup, shouldn’t she BE ABLE to if she decided to? That’s the Haute Couture ‘thing’ right? Impeccable, at best groundbreaking, engineering in production of garmenture. Second, Elsie de Wolfe aka Lady Mendl was SO much more than a socialite. She was one of the first truly modern women, the founder of interior design as it exists as a profession today, a cultural ambassador on the scale and influence of, say, Jackie-O, and personal and professional friends in the same set as Elsa herself (in fact the Apollo fountain embroidery is specifically for Elsie’s cape because of the Villa Trianon she had restored on the outskirts of Versailles’ gardens and turned into her hostess hub for the luminaries of art and design in their day). She died in 1950 at the age of 85.

I see the fifth element in those silhouettes. So why not applaud the costume designers for creating these inspired l00ks.

Fashion my mortal brain finds hard to accept it’s reality! Goddess-like snd alien has been achieved. The pieces surpass even the opulence of Versace snd are just more in every way possible. Obvs not fashion to wear down red lobster, but maybe a gala or two if you’re a gazillionaire!

What kind of pencils is Daniel Roseberry drawing with? I didn’t catch the name at 7:55

I’m not sure off rip, but if you look at the videos from the house and in other video interviews, they show the name of the pencils and pens sometimes 💫💫

[@BlissFoster]

I’m always open to feedback! What could I have been more clear about?

[@jamiek4421]

@@BlissFoster you should gear more towards a critical analysis, because as you say, what you cover in the video can pretty much be gathered from Schiaparelli’s social media etc. you touch on points that could be critically analyzed but then move on to another point. What is the significance of the to-some-degree childlike-make of the pieces (aside from visual impact/qualities) ? Your commentary is largely surface level. Also, importantly when discussing the influence of the “imperial” you didn’t for a moment offer any critical perspective that may question the context that is inherently pulled in when imperialism is glorified in such an “opulent” (as you say) manner. thinking about that women have scarcely profited in positions of imperial power - the ideal that Daniel glamourises is problematic. It was unfortunate that you didn’t question your own perspective when making the video.
