What actually happened at Paris Fashion Week besides the bedbug infestation (20+ Runway Shows)

What ACTUALLY happened at Paris Fashion Week this September for the Spring 2024 season besides the French bedbug infestation, Bella Hadid’s runway absence, and street style. In the most ambitious coverage of Paris Fashion Week in the entirety of the fashion industry, we take you to Undercover’s butterfly terrarium cage skirts show with never before seen backstage footage. We also take you along to favorites, including Rick Owens, Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe, and Givenchy. Join us this season as we bring you some of the most exciting and exclusive interviews with Julius Juul of Heliot Emil, Peter Do of Helmut Lang, Rok Hwang of Rokh, Albert Kriemler of Akris, and Enfants Riches Déprimés designer Henri Alexander Levy. Models at Courrèges stomped on plaster, while models at Issey Miyake danced about to experimental music. In a first on the channel, we attend our first EVER show with luxury goods behemoth Dior, and we take you along for the ride. Ann Demeulemeester starts over for the third time in 18 months and we meet many new impressive fashion designers that are on the official calendar like Uma Wang, Ruohan, Carven and zomer. I am also thrilled to introduce you to the work of Marina Yee, the most underrated member of the Antwerp 6 in an exclusive interview this season.

Yours is absolutely the ONLY youtube channel for thinking fashion lovers. I'm an hour into this one and could have recorded any number of exclamations, but somehow your observations on Undercover (around 1:01) just did it for me. Please keep this up, this is the best fashion commentary ever.

I couldn’t stop if I tried 😌 thanks so much for the kind words, homie. Means a lot

[@gillesgaloustian782]

As a Parsons Paris alum who lived & worked in a few Paris Maison Haute Couture design studios like Balmain, Lacroix, Dior, Courreges & Castelbajac in the late 80’s thru 90’s, the coverage you presented of the 2024 Printemps Été Prêt-à-Porter defiles is the most intelligent, insightful, exciting and complete reviews of the season I’ve experienced in my 30+ years of industry involvement Bliss Foster! Absolument Magnifique! Bravo et Chapeau 🖤

[@RubmaLione]

I really like what MW is doing at Givenchy. He seems to understand how to reference the archives while pulling the brand in a more experimental yet still wearable direction. It’s refreshing and always peaks my curiosity.

[@mothspine4934]

Almost 2 hours of prime content holy. I don't know how you do this but hats off & massive respect for your hard work and all those involved

[@vladislavachalei5120]

A couple of comments, all in good spirit! Christin Dior wasn’t 5% if the French economy, but of friends foreign exports. Also, Salem witches were not burnt, they were hung. And they included not only women, but also men and children. Hope these will be well received! Thanks for your work!

[@BlissFoster]

We love corrections! Could you offer a source for the 5% thing? Interestingly, historic accuracy isn’t always the primary concern when artists are being inspired by something. Everything you said about the trials is definitely true, but I think sometimes, designers are taking inspiration from popular perception rather than the documented, historic facts.

[@JellyFlavoredGerman]

Coats are hung, people are hanged.

[@andrepaulo2692]

The Marina Yee is such a legend. She is out there showing things can be thoughtful, practical and always with so much style. In a really good way, she is not defined by her commercial success, she is defined by her brilliant irreverence and capacity to carry the level of her craft to the highest aesthetical level. Thank you Bliss for bringing her interview to your platform!

[@isobelmel]

hey bliss, absolutely loved the video! not sure if you remember but i was the person who called out 'hi bliss!' outside of the cdg show. i'm a first year fashion student in paris, and was standing outside every show that i could dreaming of being inside. not many people showed outside so there were only a couple of shows where i managed to see the clothes being sent down the runway, but i was trying to get as invovled with pfw as i could. anyway, just wanted to say i love your videos and they have helped me learn so much about fashion !

[@BlissFoster]

Yeah! Ofc I remember! I wish we had had a chance to meet! Best of luck at fashion school 💫💫

Best fashion coverage 💯 🔥

[@starhaven]

What an amazing episode, Bliss & Dani!!! Your voice coupled with the beautifully written voice-overs makes the experience both educational and soothing. Sad to hear Jun lost some loved ones, but I hope this beautiful show has given him some catharsis .

[@BlissFoster]

Thank you so much! The voiceovers are definitely the most dreaded part of the process 😂 we get back super exhausted and then Daniella is like “time to strap you into the microphone booth“ 😭

[@AbandonedRaven]

1:21:50 I can’t help but think of those icy pops I used to have as a kid during the summer, and how when you used to buy them they came with all the colors mixed up yet lined perfectly straight. I usually dislike a lot of color in my outfits, so this particular look isn’t my usual taste…but for that reason and memory alone, I love it. Also, I’ve always loved fashion and art since I was little, but I tend to dislike how people talk about it, so thank you for these videos that don’t follow the typical fashion expert formula.

[@marywithane9166]

This art deserves to be paid for same as any documentary on streaming. The guy made a feature length doco. 👏

Your video came up on my feed this morning and I have now subscribed to your channel. I've have been glued to the news for the past week and a half with a very heavy heart and your video has shone a ray of sunshine into my day 🌞. The artistic aspect of Fashion has always inspired and distracted me but it hasnt had a place inmy daily life for a very long time. I hadnt thought about it before today but maybe it's because most videos today feel really superficial and just not very interesting. So thank you for your work. I appreciate your special perspective you give and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. ❤

[@tobymaggs3981]

Your summary is really concise and insightful , I found it added depth and meaning to the shapes and Colours blowing in the wind as the models tried to walks as fast as possible. Really well done , it was thoughtful and I couldn’t stop watching . Thank you for taking to time to be real and articulate the ideas and visions of each creator , without that knowledge it’s almost pointless watching the fashion shows , as the meaning would be lost , but you created a visual map that went along with the clothes that made sense to the chaos of creation . 🙏🏻

I agree with your description of Bliss Fosters n co (I apologise, I have forgotten his partners name but realise she works as hard as he in the making of these very real videos).

Great fashion coverage. It's always such a breath of fresh air to see what the House of Miyake is producing. I'm female and have worn Miyake since the early 80s and still have my collections from back when Issey was designing. I've followed the House of Miyake over many decades. I wish I had kept my pieces from the Plantation collection which came out in 1981. But, I wore those pieces for years and then gave them to friends who wanted them. But, at least I still have my pieces from the Miyake Collection which are the really incredible pieces. Some of the same ones are probably displayed in museum exhibits these days and I've seen quite a few pieces for sale online as vintage and the current vintage prices really raise an eyebrow. It was great to see Marina Lee as I have been a big Antwerp 6 fan since its beginnings. But, I mostly wore/wear Ann D, Dries Van Noten, and Dirk Birkkembergs. Chitose Abe....I love her designs and also wear her. She's very creative and the clothes are great. What's great about both a lot of Japanese designers and also various members of the Antwerp Six is that many of their designs are timeless. It's not fast fashion as far as tons of trends.
