Vintage for a Week | Shop Owners Style Me HOWEVER They Want in Hong Kong

[@Taylor_R]

I hope you enjoy this Vintage/Nostalgic Hong Video! I’d love to know which outfit/location(s) spoke to you?🤔 comment below!

[@Ashley-vs8nu]

The brown walking suit and the red baby doll style were too cute,honestly they all were stunning. Don't stay away so long Taylor🥲

[@crystal9350]

I loved the outfit you put together the most ❤️ plus the first custom suit you wore, I love how the best was cut just enough for the belt buckle to show.

[@d.pankova]

Really enjoy all the outfits, but my favorite are the 3rd and the 4th one. That babydoll style dress😍 I was really touched by stories of these ladies with glasses, slippers and airplane olives. They do a great job!🤗 Thank you Taylor for telling us their stories and introducing their business❤️

[@SandrineMH]

Comfy and cute outfit = 6 Would love to wear outfit = 4 The history Geeky/nerd in me loves the locations = 1 & 3 The story with #6 got me to tears, she's so precious!

[@bta8355]

i loved the red babydoll dress, please upload more on youtube, dont let your awesome channel die

[@AnniS]

The glasses store lady is my idol now 😆 "I didn't tell my husband.. I was hiding them under the bed, on the roof... It's my money and I can buy what I want with it!" SHE IS A WHOLE MOOD ❤️ Awesome video as always, Taylor. Love from the USA!

[@bethanytalbot2445]

Hahaha I loved her too!

[@FrancyKanae93]

Yes! She had an eye for business and went for it, such a badass!

[@lealou1092]

Loved her!

[@zoellazayce6796]

She has a name

[@petrichorbones]

seriously i loved her so much hahah!!!!

[@lightlytoasted247]

Super glad to know that these shops got thru COVID (especially the heritage places)!! It’s so nice seeing ur friendship with the owners develop too ☺️☺️

[@Taylor_R]

Yesss me too! ❤️

[@nothanks150]

strangely in the UK covid has made people buy local more as the shipping was terrible for a period! so alot of our local places have expanded and done well :) looks like it's the same for HK

[@laurastarbrook1308]

I hope these traditions never die. I hope all the kids and family of these people keep everything going, the clothes, the shoes and the olives

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

Is it just me or were people more imaginative, built better character and unique personalities in the past before social media?

[@Ohhcrystaal]

The last story of the woman selling the airplane olives brought tears to my eyes 🥲 Thank you so much Taylor! You’ve shared so many people’s stories that I would never known about if it wasn’t for you. Like you said, change is inevitable but it makes my happy to see people like you embracing what little is still left 💕

[@laurakinney8538]

I have been watching you for years, and to see how you have matured is just incredible! You are still totally Taylor, but the care you put into your videos has just gone through the roof! So glad you have not only taken us on a vintage fashion journey, but you have also gone to some amazing places and helped us learn about different areas of Hong Kong and their impact on the community!

[@Taylor_R]

Ahhh thank you so much for this 🙏🏻❤️

[@saskhArt]

I really love this series Tay, it's a great idea! At the same time every time the video finished, I feel so sad to all this old and traditional things will disappear one day because the new generation aren't interested. Here in Italy we have the same problem with some artisan work that require patience and hard work to learn.. people nowadays always run and lost interest in the small handmade and precious things :(

[@Kaybye555]

I agree. I'm from Mexico. I would like to shop that more but it is honestky super expensivr and wages are low. I believe that's more of a reason than the lack of interest. People who buy handmade are usually people with money

[@autumnsphere1748]

Hey! I just wanted to say that people of my generation (I’m 17) are still very much interested- we get drowned out by the trends sometimes but we’re still here! :)

[@ariannacannavaro1856]

Welcome to the fast pace of the industry world that says 'quantity>quality' and it'll only get worse... 😔 very unfortunate.

[@AnimaKinz]

Seeing all of these shops, crafts, and specialties pass away makes watching these videos bittersweet. I sometimes wish I could be all things and offer help to everyone, but these things have made it this far because the people behind them made them their one and only mission. At the same time, it feels kind of precious to know that you were alive during the short time in history that some of these businesses were around, doesn't it? Love that these videos are offering a little historic preservation in the great big sea of KZbin.

[@JoyceChengHK]

So obsessed with all the looks

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

Taylor is breathtaking ❤️ no apologies, past fashions are superior to modern and current.

[@midnightat3am]

wait this series is genius, LOVED THE STORIES, meeting the people especially older businesses and seeing the architecture. Mixed my passion for history, fashion and exploring. This is literally so immersive pls continue this ! ( should covid allow of course )

[@bryanashleymccleery1681]

Now I wish I could buy a surprise box with a mix of goods from these shops to support the businesses and have a little piece of HK! Everything you featured is wonderful!

[@Taylor_R]

That’s such a good idea. I wonder if I could make some limited edition boxes for my shop to sell online if the amazing stuff I find here 🤔 I’ll think about it and talk to people

[@jacksonwangspapillong4217]

I absolutely loved how she incorporated the people and their stories, the last woman's story specially hit different. As a person who's obsessed with fashion, this was the first time that the outfits took a second seat (they were all lovely though💕)

[@DaliaHum]

This is such great quality content!! You manage to perfectly combine your passion for fashion with your love for Hong Kong and its rich culture in one video. How is this free for us to watch?! :)

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

You should totally sell those amazing embroidered slippers and the vintage glasses in your website I would totally buy some and I'm certain your audience would buy hem too, they are all so beautiful and unique to that part of the world! I fell in love with the ladies of the glasses, slippers and olives!!!!! They are so sweet and hard working their inner beauty and strength shines even through the screen of my computer! I'm so glad you allowed people to learn their stories and help preserve them!

[@adnilasor2]

Absolutely!!!! I’m like what’s the url? Take my $$$$

[@katiekrackers4210]

BRILLIANT! I am sadly leaving HK after a decade here, I will visit King's Slippers to buy several pairs before I go. And one can never have to many sunglasses so Woo Ping is a must. I love Dot Vintage, I have the coolest shirt from there. Love your vids Taylor! I appreciate how you continue to highlight this magical unique city. (The red dress was AMAZING.)

[@Taylor_R]

Thanks Katie! Good luck on your next chapter ❤️

[@ZephyrLily-ry1el]

Taylor treasures…could be the title of a series (Netflix worthy). These things, people, businesses and buildings are treasures of the past and should be cherished and preserved with humility. Thank you for this wonderful content keep it up! ❤️ love from Canada 😘

[@gaberoodle]

So excited for this 😊💕 This is literally the best idea for a day out ever ! Buy a beautiful Vintage Outfit and go enjoy your day somewhere nostalgic 😊 Would love to do this with friends!

[@Taylor_R]

Yes!! 🙌🏻❤️

[@meowiartea]

I love that you showed such old businesses that are at risk of disappearing. It's nice to see someone preserving these crafts and places and I'm sure the owners appreciate it too

[@jerometsowinghuen]

I am glad that you are back in KZbin, Miss Taylor. Firstly, cold bottled milk tea is refreshing without ice. Secondly, wearing vintage for a week is sounds challenging, but the outfits can provide a nostalgic and beautiful feeling to you. And I like these outfits, which allows me to learn what HK citizens wear in the past.

[@tigerlilysanders5824]

I'm in HK for a 2 year study abroad (i'm in quarantine rn) so I'm living vicariously through your videos! You were one of the main sources of excitement for me!

[@Taylor_R]

Enjoy Hong Kong! 🥰

[@dinaa618]

If you don’t mind sharing, through what program are you taking the 2 year study abroad ?

It actually brings tears into my eyes to hear these people's stories, esp those where the long traditions might get lost in the future. I'm glad you're preserving some of it and showing it to people from all over the world! And I loved all the outfits, but esp the 60s dress with polkadot details and the 70s look you styled yourself! 💕

[@HanahS.]

I feel like moving to Hong Kong and buying shares in these businesses that are at risk of closing forever because there is no one to continue on after 😫 if only I could afford to do that 🥺 Taylor, my goodness, you definitely need to add more green to your wardrobe 💚 The bright green and olive green dress both looked beautiful against your skin tone and with your hair this gorgeous dark blonde colour 😍

[@mariayepez493]

If only everyone had the work ethic that these shop owners do, the world would be a better place. Thank you Taylor, this is journalism at its best!

[@dianebaker5243]

The clothes you were wearing are beautiful. Love everything else you showed us from the all the shops to the local lovely people. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

[@TineyDIYs]

Wow. I expected to watch a fun, fashionable video and I ended up feeling so inspired by the way you highlighted all of these local shops. It made me feel a bit sad as well but also hopeful that people will see this and would want to continue or take part in the tradition.

[@neromillie]

Taylor what you're doing is wonderful. We need to learn from the past, appreciate tradition, and keep these beautiful people in our memories. I love that you're bringing something onto social media that otherwise may remain unknown. More please!

[@louelladiezmo1998]

This video is so refreshing! I am a grandma now and those dresses throw me back to when i was a young girl ! I grew up poor and tried to make my own style using my Aunts' hand me down clothes. Lovely! lovely! lovely! Thank you for the creativeness and effort put in this fun and nostalgic video! Okay, last thing, I love the way you talk to the people. You are kind and respectful!

[@annatheres3]

You have the biggest heart, Taylor. So glad that you’re sharing these shop owner’s stories! I hope that their histories and traditions pass on.

[@lalelu1241]

The story of the airplane olive got me what a beautiful story.

[@juliar.3702]

Taylor, your outfits were so beautiful! My personal favourite was bright green dress. I loved that you showed those local businesses and introduced the people who run them! It’s lovely of you to give them the attention they deserve, in such a creative way! Your videos are always a treat! Much love from a fellow Canadian!

[@dagbjorthelgadottir9631]

Agree #tearyeyedemoji

Love both the concept of dressing vintage and visting old places! These days we are obsessed with the new and we should still learn to appreciate traditions and the old

[@mixasunardi7379]

You're so thoughtful Taylor in this time we're all grieving by the death of HONGKONG you're here to show us around the hidden beauty we could see from the past , we're all still loving this city but sadly it won't be the same again .

[@biscuits3907]

I usually don't leave youtube comments but as someone who was born in HK and raised in the US, I know very little about HK aside from a few trips there and info I get online. Just wanted to say how much appreciate this series and all the research you do. HK is constantly modernizing and redeveloping that old school businesses are often forced to close down and move out. It's so wonderful to see someone appreciating the work they do and giving them a platform to share their stories. I'm sure these videos will be a precious memory to many in the future :)

[@TheIzanamy]

The red baby-doll dress looks like it was made with you in mind! It looks gorgeous on you!!! And thank you for teaching us so much about Hong Kong, it's absolutely fascinating!

[@SC-qu7wk]

This was such a cool and unique video! Loved the premise and execution! I feel like I just had a little trip through the decades and to Hong Kong over my coffee here in Chicago. So fun! Thank you!

This video must be one of my all time favourites from you, Taylor. I rarely comment but I watch your videos very very often. I gotta say that all these history fighters are heroes to me, but in special the women. I am not related whatsoever to Hong Kong, but this video made me tear because the couple of times I was there I felt a little bit home and I really hope this does not disappear. Thank you for showing us not only the flashy and glamorous side, but also like this time, the history and the people behind it. Wishing that I can come back again soon for another visit. Thank you again, Taylor. PS: I cannot decide between the vintage outfits, they were all stunning on you.

[@TeaCupCracked]

Documenting the world as they are today is so important to preserve memories into the future! One of the most famous examples I know is a guy decided to mount an early film camera to an automobile and slowly drive it down market street, from one end to the other, in San Francisco sometime within the week BEFORE the big earthquake hit. Because of this, he preserved a record of the appearance of the city, basically it's gold rush/Victorian phase, forever on film for people in the future to enjoy. Even if things change, documenting them now helps us be able to share and pass down memories through the ages!
