Gonna be real with everyone, videos like this take an enormous amount of time and money to produce ⬇️ ➖ My partner and I plan, film, write, and edit everything. ➖ This is my dream job, but I can’t do this alone. ➖ If you get value out of these videos, support the channel on Patreon. Link is in the description. 💫💫

[@lenitarandolph]

I paused this to go become a patron. I've been thinking about it for a while and today I realized the only reason I'm excited about fashion for the first time in years, and the only reason I'm in my sewing studio getting excited to create, is simply thanks to you. Keep up this incredible work! I can't wait to be even more a part of this community.

[@BlissFoster]

@@lenitarandolph that means a lot to me, thank you. I’m glad it’s been useful for you. Go crush it in the studio 💫💫

[@joseemalette3181]

[@icaprone1]

your work really pays off. I have only subscribed/patreon for a couple years and I have seen you climb the ladder of smart work. sometimes I mistakenly take these for granted and then I see the wildly unique pov. Thank you!

[@tapecase]

i haven't watched your videos until now. I am so glad that this video was suggested. Excellent commentary and inspiring enthusiasm! 🙏🏻

[@luthandocollinsmbenge155]

Can we take time to appreciate how good Bliss is at his job? Thank you Mr Foster

[@illonod1426]

Damn, I just came across this channel because I was curious on why fashion weeks or shows happen. Your channel is incredibly informative, the coverage and the inspiration deep dive is so informative. I've never found shows interesting before and your explanations on them really made me want to learn more about it. Also, kudos on the incredible amount of shows you had to film. I imagine getting invited to shows like these isn't easy and you probably had to pay for the trip to Paris, transport etc not to mention the time it took to make a whole 11/2 hr video. Thank you for covering so much of the show although nobody except for your subscribers are supporting it. Although, in my opinion, coverage like this should exist way more. Hopefully in the future we can see the designers/showrunners talk or give more interviews about the whole process of it all in different outlets so that a lot more people can be appreciative of them. Kinda feel like if they're putting so much money into these shows, they can create more buzz by going on tour and opening these up to regular people by paying for it, just like musicians. It would really open up larger markets and create way more buzz and money for them but thats just my opinion as a person new to all of this. Regardless, I hope more people take inspiration from your type of coverage and try to cover the fashion industry in a more accessible and informative way. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@BlissFoster]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope fashion receives better coverage from more sources as well, but honestly, I doubt that will ever happen. Publications believe they will only get traction through celebrity moments and lifestyle content. ➖ Either way, thank you for the kind words, this coverage takes a ton of time and a ton of money to create 💫💫

[@charliebaker5499]

I’m just not a Rick Owens fan but hearing you talk about his collections with such fervor is so wonderful. 😌

[@nhtynia]

Same. I’m a huge lover of fashion and especially of avant-garde but his designs and collections just aren’t it. However I do still respect and appreciate his attempt at creativity.

[@mr.rightnow.7300]

Agreed. Every collection has a story board. A meaning behind the designs. But I think some designers take the interpretation way too seriously and you end up with Jackson pollack on models often very unwearable. Crazy rich Asian kids love the darkness of the avante gard.

[@LoicPrigent]

Incredible work! Bravo Bliss!

[@BlissFoster]

⬆️ the master of us all

[@saudgilani]

This honestly was one of the coverages of any fashion week. Keep up the great work, I didn’t even notice the hour and 30 mins pass by. ❤

[@repvv]

Junya watanabe was truly incredible, you can feel the quality just by looking at it. Tailoring is my favorite part of fashion and i feel like together with Yohji, Junya is the pinnacle of tailoring

[@CokeWithIceAndLemon]

Thank you for what you do Bliss, you are destined for greatness.

[@a.ffirmative]

In terms of abstraction, Kei Ninomiya's show reminded me of Rothko paintings. Rothkos are so grand, so mesmerizing and drowns the viewer into the painting, even though the painting contains 0 subjects 0 motive, just paint. The way Ninomiya's show sort of drowns you into the clothes, drowns you into the collection to a point where you don't even realize time has passed is strikingly similar to a Rothko's effects on you.

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

That's beautiful explanation

[@mcb.7839]

Your description of the pulley-system dress forced me to subscribe to your channel. I never thought I would see the science of fashion and beauty described so perfectly.

Definitely reminds me of the fashion journalism of the 90s and 2000s I've missed this types ofshows

[@Iriseyes]

Loved the video ❤️ Somehow I had never come across Sacai until a trip to Tokyo earlier this month, and I was blown away and picked up a number of pieces. So, so good.

This is immaculate coverage Bliss. Thank you ❤

[@franspick7776]

This was absolutely amazing . I hope you get good a praise from fashion industry for your efforts.

[@iwannaseethereceipts]

I'm finally getting around to watching this (I know I'm a whole season late), some thoughts: 1) the Noir Kei Ninomiya show made me cry 2) Junya + Innerraum is a legendary combo 3) MMW's Givenchy is better than people give him credit for (but I'm biased cuz he's in my top 5 designers) 4) the braided effigies changed my brain chemistry, they're *fascinating*

You really have outdone yourself with this video. I always like your content, but at first I didn't think that I would seriously watch every minute of it and be so captivated. Rarely been so happy to have been proven wrong!

woaw :) finally someone so happy and passionate and speaking the way we are in need of more today ! I feel like my love for fashion is already reborned You bring the joy from the inside out ! have been enjoying watching some shows yesterday was really amazed by the old new fresh energy brought to life from the most classic ones Thank you for that info updating myself on more of it all ! You almost brought me back into the times when I was so little watching fashion daily as if my telenovela time and I always dreamt of the work that you are doing for now somehow life shifted towards different path for me but always appreciate effort and passion and energy that is part of life and fashion and getting such an history info from You to educate myself about it besides just experiencing it from a more visual one ! Great channel !

Thanks Barbara! Welcome in! I’d love to hear your thoughts on any other videos you check out as well 💫💫

[@chrisspaight2955]

The first Noir Kei Ninomiya look you showed literally made me gasp. This show makes a great case for the assertion you always make about fashion being art. There's something about the looks that made me emotional in a way I can't explain. Not really a fashion person. Hopefully this isn't offensive, but I mostly watch your channel because your voice is one of those I find soothing to listen to while I work or do something else. I usually just kind of glance at the fashion, but this video I actually watched start to finish

[@user-ym3up6gz7x]

Great work here. I’m new to your channel but your narration is on point.

[@yellowbags]

Maybe it's bc I'm Dutch but Henry Alenxander Levy looks and sounds so incredibly stoned. Like c'mon can we get at least 1 coherent sentence? Loved the Issey Miyake show. Such understated visual power. Also that sort of research for that fish dress at Givenchy is 💯💯

[@dallinpilling5594]

Mmmmmmm, not so sure about the Enfants Riches Deprimes deal though--maybe it is just punk this time around. Although punk is definitely cool in it's own right.

[@dallinpilling5594]

Also: thanks for turning me onto Jeanne Vicerial! Wow--the faces are so cool. I think the textile brings even more to the table in some ways than marble or other "more static" mediums. Fibers are just so dynamic to me. Especially when worn by someone, they sort of come to life and breathe, in a way, with temperature and humidity changes, you know? Sculpture is so incredible in it's potential to demonstrate movement and animation through an absolutely static, still medium, but I think textile brings something else to the table entirely. Maybe it was made to move.

Dude u were actuali born for this

[@karigrandii]

Karu research is the future of fashion. We don’t need huge brands that are 100% commercial and only care about making money. A sustainable fashion future is small artisans making 1 of 1 or very small production and more of these which makes people buy from local brands rather than everyone buying italian, french or japnese brands. I think in 50 years we will move on to you personally knowing everyone who has made your clothes or at least know the name of the person who sells the clothes. Now people barely know anyone but the creative director.

[@karigrandii]

Ofc this requires the economic system to move toward degrowth which it eventually has to do as it cant grow forever

If you really are interested in truly handwoven textiles from India, check out the collection from Weave of India. As in the Rogan textiles, the knowledge of the recipes for the dyes, patterns and application had become archived in one old man. I now only collect natural fiber, hand woven, hand dyed, hand painted and preferably vintage sarees. Each video is usually less than 20 mins.
