Outright Insanity at Berlin Fashion Week 

That adidas thing was wild , made me feel like I was in art school again

The embroidered prayers throughout Litkovska’s designs…an incredible & impactful detail.

Damn! The most impactful "fashion week" coverage I've EVER watched on this, or any other channel! From the 2 Ukrainian designers -- one re-imagining the 'bag lady', and the other whose team was still in Kiev working while the war rages on. Both juxtaposed against the faux-Adidas sweatshop runway hijack. Dying for Fashion, literally. Clothes are just another skin we walk around in. What Do the clothes We wear say about Us? I echo your other subscribers who value that along w/ the 'known' you also showcase the unknown -- new designers whose perspectives have the power to change minds and lives. Awesome reporting.

viktor and rolf also transform their clothes on the runway but dzhus' approach is also real cool. and the singing 🖤

this is a really great direction for u, bliss! (away from the big 4) and that mindfuck fake event was executed so well, i was having trouble breathing the more u went into it, until u got to the end. wow. art! glad they shed a light on that and u echo chambering

I gasped at the Dzhus footage. Mindboggling. Hopefully the full show goes up online or something.

The opening show - sorry, I missed her name - was really moving in an art reflects on the life going on around us type of way. It made the transformations almost heartbreaking - only that you can carry. That's always been true for war, especially in this new century. Ms. Litkovska's work is so graceful in it's protest. And how many choral groups now sing in garages that serve as bomb shelters? I'm without words. I wonder if Odeeh would let me spend a week or two vacation pitching in (fer free) on their sewing room shenanigans - I dream of working with fabric that fluid and well made. Absolutely beautiful. I love their production and esthetic. _{Right now I'm working on my entry for the Foundations Revealed garment competition here in the interwebs. Delaying work by commenting on YT videos? Moi? Sigh - deadline is tomorrow. I'm finishing a 1950's weskit that's been embroidered and quilted into resembling a river and the fish that move through it. Basically, I'm attempting to reach for the house's level of sewing bravado, pattern drafting and fine manipulation... I hope these two inspire other designers to work locally and especially historically.}_ I love that SF 1 OG is working with the material as they find it, so-called imperfections an all. Each outfit is truly one of a kind. Acceptance Letters Studio is probably the best name I've heard in a while. I'm interested to see how he develops. Love that he's reaching back to the Elders for inspiration. I wish Vivian Westwood could have done a collaboration with Namalia - can you imagine what they would do if let loose on a pile of tweed. My inner punk child is chuckling at the idea. Be your own superhero. Wonderful. Sia Arnica. Wonderful. Alternative bridal wear. Finally. Lou de Betoly - the structure they put into the skirts is fascinating. And very historical. One of those items of clothing I would love to have a 'look under the construction hood' to see how they pulled off the gravity defying. I'm starting to get the feeling that outer structures like panniers may just be making some sort of time-warping comeback. Realitywear. Seriously. Dude in sweats and a golf shirt. Huh. Woman who was worked like a slave dressed in office wear she probably had to buy herself. And coupons. With her face on them. Really. And on behalf of my union organizing Grandfather who made it through the 30's in one piece - what the actual... I. No. Grr. No, really - no. Adidas - you are forever off my shopping list. Not that you were in the first place. Goodbye. I feel like I need to wash this one off of my psyche with boiling hot water... And... whah. Yeah. It got me too. I was a teenager in the 80's so I've had plenty of time to watch the super rich be condescending little so-n-so's. Totally possible for an honest version of this show to happen in real time. Wait for it. Kind of like how The Onion was trumped by Trump... no matter what stupid thing you can imagine... it has the possibility to be even dumber in real life... Great content, as always. Also a distraction - thank you. That facing and lining won't install themselves into my weskit. And, unlike the Tailor of Gloucester, I haven't saved any sewing mice lately. So... off to the sewing machine with me... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Omg i met the person in the opening (green light) at berghain many years ago. They were soo so sweet and wholesome. So glad to see theyre still in Berlin

Halfway through that 'Adidas' fake event my brain was screaming: Fake! but I wasn't listening to it, lol.

Never was a huge fan of the BFW, but you found amazing talent there and I absolutely enjoyed it to the max. Thank you! 💥👌

Brilliant video and coverage. So lovely to see lots of creative talent . Thank you 😊

I was most struck by Litkovska’s show. The prayer and the music were otherworldly, while still keeping us in the real world of the war in Ukraine

continue to love your work. this video is what drew me to your channel in the first place. BRAVO!

Fashion that has a message,what strength these designer have,thanks bliss for being there and sharing .

That was incredible. So happy to have seen your report on Dzhus, I've been following Irina's work for several years and I find it unique and outstanding. Tysm for your work, never ever found anyone else speaking of fashion like you do ❤️

So fascinating. Thanks for shedding light on these brands and designers. So many perspectives and so much to say. There’s always some more for us to consider and be aware of.

brilliant, brilliant, brilliant video, loved every aspect of it.

i was getting angrier by the second when you were telling us about that stunt 🤣

so many brides focus on what they don't want to look like rather then being who they are. They'll still look back and say why was I so worried I should have had more fun. 40 years of experience working with brides....give me the wild ones!! thanks for the video!

Love SF1OG! Rosa‘s and Jacob‘s work is amazing 🖤🖤🖤

Thank you …wow !!! Love this and its making me miss Berlin.

😭 The singing sent shivers down my spine.

I do not write many comments under youtube-videos, but with this one I feld I that had to, for it has truly shown the intportance of the work that you do. Showing and giving light and a audience to creativ people, that with the white noise of mass-media may have been overlooked otherwise and thus widen our spectrum on this beautiful artform. Thx. Btw. Does anyone know the name of the singing-group from the Litkovska show?

thank you for this, super insightful

insane insane insane. thank you for showing us these hidden gems Bliss!

Just Fab, Bliss. Mijn dank is groot!

Juice is a genius. What she did with those bag transformation outfits was incredible.

As always great work and post

This was a refreshing change from all the overly processed shows I’ve been ingesting this season. Enjoyed very much.

Bliss , you MUST come to SPFW (São Paulo fashion week) you'll be extremely surprised about the fashion creative environment we have here in Brazil,I'm sure it would blow your mind

Wow, really loving the Sia Arnika show-- I'm going to have to learn more about them! Great coverage as always, Bliss

Wow, I hadn't heard of Berlin fashion week and it's the best one there is!? Mind = BLOWN

i love your channel sm

Mr. Foster u are great! Greeting out of Berlin - Xberg

super interesting video, thank you!! huge sf 1 og fan

Brilliant!!❤

My partner has been showing me your videos for a long time now, after this one I have subscribed, this was awesome

Outstanding, thank you.

This was amazing!!!!

Hey! That's my hometown! 😁 Best Burger is Kreuzberger and best club is the golden gate. Our flea markets are from another planet!

DZHUL, SF 1 OG & NAMILIA love it thier collections.. that if I have to chance to wear them

love this sm

Beautiful, thanks

the ending for the adidas segment was amazing 🤩 very respectable

Another WOW video!

Don't know about fashion, but it is definitely art. Love what amazing things fabric can do. Also, love the sense of the female energy that goes with textiles.

living for sf 1 og's use of vintage fur. it's the only way to go coz new faux fur is basically just plastic. and the sun drenched deadstock leather is.. lit

The Dzhus stuff was immensely satisfying to watch being rearranged. There was also something really nice with you mentioning shoulders at ODEEH and the little smile you got because you noticed. I love fashion, but this shoes don't tend to be my cup of tea, and the way that you approach them always makes it enjoyable. Also, that Adidas stuff was wiiiiiild.

I am so grateful for this content, literally BLISSed out :) Thank you!

the terraza couch 💟

That was a very inspiring Report it just showed perfectly ho Fashion can be practised for a deep expression of feelings and messages and how labels like Adidas tries on a very poor way to do the same by letting consumers think they wold care about there own crimes and apology without meaning it at all

jakey's own lewk and collection 😍 and his thoughts!

This is all so cool ! Only theres one thing i notice, theres a lot of diversity in the bodies of the female models. Yet the male models are still all extremely thin

I'm confused whether Adidas sanctioned that event or not. If not I'd think they will try to dig some legal fees out of their dwindling treasure chest and sue someone. My God.

I love Namilia, that's so cool!

You’re journalist job must be amazing!!!

Idk what to say as iam new to fashion and don't even remember names easily. But atleast this content that i get its way better then nothing, i live in India and such events are far far from me .thanks a lot! 👍🏽

Hi I am going to paris fashion week from 1-5th of March and I was wondering if there are some nice shows that I can attend, find it hard to find the upcoming fashion brands ! But I am also absolutely down to go to the more higher end brands

how do you choose which shows you'll go to? the shows are great but there can be an overload, too. really one should slow down and go back and watch again and I might get more out of it yet it won't be as fresh, either

Looks way more creative and much more tasteful than the big 4 fashion weeks.

2:19 werk! Look at that hair motion

Thank you for coming to Germany ❤

OMFS brilliance Bliss

great :) I'd love it if you do a video on Arab Fashion designers.

There are very many things I do not know about fashion and the industry so I apologize if this question seems ignorant! But there is a part in the video (and this I have seen with other brands and houses) where the brand talks about upcycling materials like that stained white leather which was thrown out by a manufacturer and which they used in their show. To my knowledge, brands generally are supposed to make more than one of their design in order for many people to purchase and wear it, so what happens when these materials (chosen for sustainability) run out and they cannot make more of the same thing? Is there simply a limited number of these pieces and they stop making once their chosen material runs out or is there another alternative? Since I generally am only aware of how mass-production works in fast fashion, I am curious how smaller brands or at the very least, more mindful brands are able to keep on producing when their sources are limited because they make more reasoned choices. I have asked this quesiton in my head before when I learned about how Margiela would thrift clothes and then remake them into something they could show on the runway, like did that mean they thrifted multiple of the same thing so they could sell it or was there only one of that thing which they remade? I am truly so perplexed TT if someone could please shed some light on this, it would be very much appreciated

slayed

Adidas must be fuming right now, which is great :)

What the hell are you doing adidas.... oh. Oh my god. That was the biggest uno reverse ever. Holy shit that was incredible. That was so well executed holy shit.

Bliss, it's 2023, your Prada bag is made at the same factory that produces "high end fast fashion." And Zara produces a lot in Europe.

did you do a video for when you visited zambrett?

BLISS! I do not know if she did fashion week- but you cannot do Berlin without ISABEL VOLLRATH

Yo that adidas thing was crazy

BERLIN FASHION forever❤

that yellow heels from the Adidas reality wear are kinda hot. I know this defeats the presentation...but I kinda dig it!

Paris Fashion Week done Berlin Fashion Week done next London Fashion Week Milan Fashion Week Tokyo Fashion Week Los Angeles Fashion Week Copenhagen Fashion Week

berlin too?! bliss really up fr fr

🙌🔥🙌

That was some crazy stunt they pulled off with fake Adidas show. But also it is much needed, I'm from India and Ik in how extrem conditions people work there and get paid peanuts, while all these brands selling expensive shit that was made in 3rd world country by exploiting workers. I can't even explain the situations how worse it can get and how workers are literally being treated like shit. Looking at these brands selling clothes at the expense of their workers lives is really disgusting.

thanks you so much for highlighting the art of Ukrainian designers! that means a lot

33……very good skin care

shoutout to you for promoting Ukrainian brands, appreciate it

It's giving Zoolander lol

Never been so early before...

17:34 good how you criticized this, big companies arent to be trusted ever

Love me some Germans, love some Berlin, love me some Berliners especially, and love me some Berliner Mode

Brave drinking red wine in an all white show.

Adidas was Ruben Östlund's wet dream.

I like joerg Ehrlich best, due to the proportion and beauty. I do like the idea of unsexy sexiness however. Someone should do a show about being totally distracted and not really noticing what anyone is wearing it all.

Ain’t no way he’s 33 lmao

Whiile you were calling the adidas stuff out of touch and offensive i was gonna say the presentation was appropriate since it managed the evoke strong feelings of disgust in u the viewer nd then u reveal it was fake i was like ahhh makes sense lool

U bought that adidas fake? I’m stunned… i don’t know what to say. I was there. It was obvious from the get go that it wasn’t adidas related. It was good though, but u could feel it was a stunt

Not too much people in this fashion show

youre 33???? you look like youre in your twentiess

You were in Berlin??

I know the yes men

pog
