What "GLAMOUR" Really Is?

[@maniyasha134]

I just hate Instagram fashion. That's it.

[@brooklynsbaby4367]

Interesting topic! I think that nowadays Glamour often goes hand in hand with cheap and tacky, even if the look itself is expensive. Casual is more chic. Maybe in the last year or so the "old money" style has risen in popularity amongst teenagers, guess that there is a touch of glamour to it. But in general, excess has become very popular. First it was a ton of makeup palettes, now it's a ton of skincare and a new wardrobe each season, excess plastic surgery, a lavish lifestyle, money, cars, trips. Now we don't only admire the rich, we are pressured to be rich and dress rich. I love your rather holistic approach to beauty and style and I'm glad that I found you while I was growing up. From you I heard things like "Round face should be shown, it shouldn't be hidden", "Hooded eyes are beautiful" and I generally started to appreciate my features, body and essence and work with them instead of trying to hide them.

What’s also interesting from a non western view, glamour look even old Hollywood was always seen as tacky and cheap, like women being exposed always had association with being cheap, tacky or “easy”, maybe even naive/bimbo like

[@latinaalma1947]

Lovely way to express these ideas..

[@Cherrysmith2809]

We have a phrase in the U.S., I don’t know if you have it in Europe, “new money, old money.” The implication is new money shouts, old money whispers. Old money does not need to show off in every day dressing. They care about quality, but not the big logos. Another aspect of adopting style from the rich: I live in Hawaii. Back in the 1800s, when Hawaii had a monarchy, our Princess visited Queen Victoria and received a beautiful, intricately engraved gold bangle from her. Over time, this gold bangle was something all Hawaiian women aspired to have, up until present day. I got mine in the 1980s when gold prices were down. Many women had stacks of them. They cost around $300 to $400 each. Today they are $3000 to $4000 as the price of gold went up. They have become traditional and treasured heirlooms. Both my daughters have them, and one daughter is gifting her daughter one for Christmas.

[@ZurditaDinamita]

Yes, we see that old money/new money thing in Europe too. In my country we call that new riches "rich fed up with bread" 😅 A lot of people worries about having a Chanel while they probably have debts, but their prioritiy is to pretend with their new phone/purse/etc.

The bangle story is so sweet! I have a white gold heart shaped brooch with a great many diamonds in it, which I shall leave to my granddaughter and hopefully she will realise that it is real! I only wear it with quite casual things or earthy wool so it doesn't look so over the top. I may have to invest in some bangles for her too :)

Remember that opera singers or actresses such as Marilyn Monroe ,Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor were NEVER seen has classy women. They were the Kim K of that time. It’s so funny how the western world is so controlled by branding and marketing.

Opera singers? Maria Callas was definitely seen as beautiful and glamorous but also classy at the same time.

[@LiviaBrash]

opera singers pre-20th century perhaps?

[@mtngrl5859]

@@hr7460 Definitely! Maria was hurt by her association with Onassis since both were married, and women mostly got the blame for any infidelity back then. One of the benefits of the " Golden Age" of Hollywood from the 1930's- late 1950's that there was a great deal of "types" that one could resonate with. While there were less Women of Color, there were gorgeous women like Dolores Del Rio, Yvonne del Carlo, and Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne among others. Compared to today where people like to talk about diversity there was far more representative films about women: Bette Davis films that were labeled as " women's films" that men loved to go to as well. Today " chick flicks" are derisively viewed by men and many men are resistant to them. Many middle class women like my mother were motivated to have their own level of glamour. My mother would never go anywhere without dressing well even if it was to the grocery store. In department stores, one had makeup created personally for women. I remember my mother having individual powers created for her at the Charles of the Ritz counter at Saks Fifth Avenue for my mother. One's hair was always "done", and the apparel was meant to highlight what worked for women.

Especially because it touches on the imagination and mysticism, and creating mystery. I had her book for a while and it took a while for me till it dawned on me that she’s an artist who’s curated her life with everyday ritual discipline in things she likes and associates herself with!

I’m not a big fan of Gwenyth Paltrow, but she and other goopy, Whole Foods-y women like her are who I think of when I think of a very rich woman. Linen, raw wood, uncut crystals, are all an expensive commodity, and are all very opposite of the “glam” aesthetic. She’s rich enough that she doesn’t have to show off anymore. It’s in cycles, but natural, rough hewn things are status symbols now that everything can be mass produced and perfect and shiny. The “glam” aesthetic can sometimes seen as very cheap and trying too hard. Don’t get me wrong, the natural aesthetic can look cheap too (so many “modern farmhouse” houses gone wrong lol) but there’s a reason why the kardashian/jenner aesthetic has changed so much in recent years to be less overtly over the top.

Such an interesting video Aly. Very well thought out. I didn’t know the origins of the word but what you explained makes sense. I’ve always associated things like showing a brand on clothing and accessories with cheap and tacky. They usually are worn by people who are not so used to money but when they can afford something they like people to see that they have it. My mother told me to buy a good quality handbag but she would never say buy a Chanel handbag for example. The way people like the Kardashians have used exaggerated body enhancements to “glam up” is interesting now that I think about it. It isn’t attractive in my opinion but they find it makes them feel glamorous maybe. It is a far cry from elegance. It’s interesting the way things are changing due to awareness of climate change as well. Even things like recycling materials when possible. For example Christmas decorating and gift wrapping and homemade gifts. Also the surge in secondhand clothing to reduce landfill and the trend towards fixing household items instead of disposing of them and buying new.

This is such a great treatment of "glamour" and "swank." I was in a discussion some years ago where people were discussing their idea of "swanky." Some thought "swank" was classy and others thought it was tacky. Much prior to that my husband and I visited the Hotel Zaza in Houston just to look at some rooms (we are involved tangentially with a local hotel where we live). Wish I could find pictures to do it justice...anyway, at the time it struck me as a place where someone like Elvis Presley would stay. It was expensive in a tacky way, where everything was exaggerated. In the lobby were two young women scantily dressed, passing out rubbery plastic rings that lit up and sparkled from a battery inside. I thought it was a little funny and kind of wondered at it. I'm from really old Texas, and it reminded me of a place some oil man who grew up poor might go to find tacky, expensive call girls, and expensive whisky, and things like that. What a world!

Aly, Escort is a very well known word in English. There are even some who attribute the word Escort with the word Whore. 99% of the time the Escorts in America have sex with their clients for money. Even though this is technically illegal there is a loophole that every Escort has learned to use in a phrase they tell their clients. "The money is for my companionship only. For my time that we spend together. Any other thing that happens is simply between two consenting adults." Generally once that declaration is made the escort and the client end up in bed together shortly afterward. What this does is prevents cops from going under cover trying to bust the escort for prostitution. Once intent is made what the money is agreed upon, then no law is broken. Which is why Escorting, in the eyes of the law, is a perfectly legitimate business.

I always loved boho/cottage core aesthetic. I remember I loved the smell of wood in the course since I was little.

Thanks

[@reneels5351]

I think i will stick to the natural aesthetic on myself and my home. Minimal clean barefoot linen wood undone relaxed comfortable vacation feel

[@Nancytheredhead]

[@martifinan998]

Outstanding walk through art history focussed on glamour. Really well conceived, researched, presented.

[@jessih980]

wow! thank you! so interesting how history can repeat itself or things🤍

[@molls127]

let’s try and keep the repeating within the realm of style tho lol politicians are getting to comfortable with regressing

[@nawezashaikh7054]

I love how I just randomly came here to learn the meaning of glamour but ended up learning so much more about fashion history

[@geronimo5537]

This was really neat seeing the comparison from over the year and across different areas of life.

[@janejdough2230]

You present your information so intelligently. The 60's still had a bit glamour movies like the Doris Day type romantic comedies. "Devil Wears Prada" is a good example of plain to glam.

[@bayanalhazmi723]

After this video I’m very conscious about how to use the word “glamorous”

[@valeriecody7767]

Wow! This is an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to create this. So informative and fun to watch.

Aliona, what kind of jeans are you usually wear? Is there a brand that you like the most? In your last music video, you have a light blue pair, very nice 👍

[@caravanrose]
