" Spacious but claustrophobic " new favourite quote
love how your environment is slowly turning more gucci
Haha it’s my parents’ house. My dad’s taste is extremely Gucci. But he used to work in furniture sales, so he got most of the futurniture in that room for like $150 each, it’s crazy.
@@BlissFoster wow nice
re what you were saying about how the space you're self isolating in becomes sort of not real - ages ago there was a tv show in the UK called 'art club' where artist grayson perry asked members of the public to submit art to a real exhibition inspired by quarantine. and one episode was about 'home'. they had an architect kevin mccloud make a piece of art and he said when you stay inside your four walls, your concept of 'home' starts to shrink to just those walls, whereas if you have the freedom to go outside, you can extend your idea of home everywhere else. so self isolation is a uniquely surreal experience because you are having to transform your idea of 'home' very drastically
Ee
Well said!
I spend so much time alone in my room/workspace and sometimes I lose the feeling of the space, I can see things completely different than what they are they’re like images I create around me so this Prada set up and Bliss’ analysis of space becoming unreal resonates with me so well. Thank for sharing this information I will look up the show art club
Holy cow Bliss is speed and even invite Raf to explain the collection for us
He had me at 'Dad Raf and grandmama Miuccia' You have my loyalty to your channel sir.
not even 24 hours since the show premiered and this man already had a full analysis out
Yes indeed, very impressive!
So strong！Raf and Miuccia compensate each other like Ying&Yang! I enjoined even more Prada’s show since Raf’s arrival
Bliss I'm enjoying the serial killer, English teacher, Beatles enthusiast look. SWAG it up Playa.
Also, the triangle cuts under the collar of jackets and coats are such cool “branding.” Incredible show!
It's like Raf and Miuccia almost directed a short film for Prada with this collection. It doesn't seem like the focal point is on the clothesyet the clothes create/add to this space around them. It's beautiful and stark.
I personally think that both raf and muccia are still figuring out how to work together and to have their ideas blend smoothly. That being said im very optimistic for upcoming collections!
He took “please don’t touch my raf” to a new level
You might be interested into the concept of liminal space. Also, as a huge Techno fan I just love how you described the feeling associated with it.
I really like the unbranded branding
Bliss thank you I’ve gotten into fashion recently I’ve only picked it up about 6 months ago and I haven’t stopped researching since mainly because of you and you have taught me so much and I really appreciate that
Welcome to the world of fashion!
I think the pajama look also linking the to way we have been spending quarantine wearing a lot of lounge/lazy wear!
I totally agree with your interpretation of the set but I wanted to add that all of Prada’s runways are designed in collaboration with the architect Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA and they had this to say on their website “The design draws on the idea of the passage of time. A sequence of spaces evokes different intimate moments experienced throughout the day: a voluptuous night, a mellow morning, or a lazy afternoon.”
Wow this is some great insight!! Thanks so much for sharing that with us, Patrick 💫💫
One thing I noticed about the logo as well, was that they incorporated this triangle shape in some of the coats at the top of the chest! The V cuts and the neck strap created this triangle and it was accented beautifully with the loud colors of the shirt the models were wearing underneath. The placement of the triangle almost seems like a nod to the women's collection that was presented some months ago! Really loved the show!!
I noticed that as well and considered how insane it is that just seeing a triangle is synonymous with Prada
Also the way the hoods on some of the coats sit!
Yea they definitely hit some strong points here. While they may have not been this new found design period they still have things you can take away like the color scheme obviously we all noticed the knit triangles on the back with the colors and still recognizing RAFs designs. At the end of the day this is just one piece of a puzzle to a larger picture out here in the real world
@Levi Cohen I'd say a red stripe is more synonymous with the brand
Amazing Bliss, so good, thank you!
Woow, I love how deep you go !
Nice, impressive turn around from show to analysis
that model look suits you amazing tbh, loved it
please keep doing these analysis !!
The Logo was the first thing I noticed and I like it. It's a nice change.
I can actually feel the plush carpet walls. It’s all about the textures however you are right , there is a sense of entrapment It’s so reminiscent of his Dior shows when it comes to the grandiosity of the set! I am obsessing about the glovepurse, new prints and knits! But most all, the marriage of Raf and Muccia elements is so exciting!
* I was waiting for your Prada dance , Bliss!
had notifications on waiting for this one
Brilliant analysis
Great as always
i just discovered your channel and it makes me feel like fashion isn’t as complex as it seems thank u
I’m so glad it was useful for you, Sidney 💫💫 The most recent episode about LV is a particularly good one. Well worth the watch. Welcome in :)
Thank youu!! I found out about so many details I haven't reflected upon yet
love the death stranding reference!!
Love the cardigan and the new hair Bliss
dad Simons and grandma Miuccia! I can’t 💀
Your hair looks fabulous, love your outfit!
Amazing video
I like your haircut bliss👍🏾 another good video too.
I love youuuuu and i love your videos! Amazing!
I was thinking that it reminded me of the Dior show, and then you mentioned it the colors and strange rooms reminded me of the movie Clockwork Orange,
The set definitely reminds me of 'The Shining' film
I totally share your point of view, really think they got the Zeitgeist on point.
Great thoughts on the set design, also made me think of end of twin peaks
Nice review
this was great
yes, please!
Ive found Rafs Prada shows thus far underwhelming - to me they seem like a mishmash of ideas weve all seen before from him. Contributing to this is the fact that it feels like we lost the old Prada. I would have preferred that he stays at his own brand and wwe get to see more of Miuccias vision.
Exactly. I really think someone (some say van Ommeslaeghe) from Raf’s team who had a profound impact in making Raf’s output very cutting edge and refined quit early on during the Dior period. That’s why we’re seeing this rehash of very old ideas and outdated silhouettes since Raf doesn’t really bring anything substantial to the table. This collection is old ideas wrapped with such pretentious intellectual rambling during the post show talk.
As for old Prada, I don’t really see it coming back, and I’m very sad about that. People say it was Manuela Pavesi who challenged and edited Miuccia to create the groundbreaking collections of yesteryear. Notice when she passed away, Prada never felt like Prada.
Explaining inspirations and contexts of this collection doesn’t make it a good collection.
Great vid！For me at least i also think that the show is Prada’s attempt at implying a way that the human body can interact with garments and spaces. Usually a show at a regular runway would be stage in a relatively large space, but in this show, the models are actually walking through spaces small enough for the viewers to immediately recognize as rooms. Considering the fact that most of us will, in fact, stay in quarantine for another couple of months, brands need to find way to suggest that we as consumer can buy garments even if we are staying indoors and most likely by ourselves.
sick!
Pretty clear to me that the reference is the maze scene at the end of the shining.
yeah it seemed like there was a few kubrick nods throughout the show, the colourful turtleneck the mother in the shining wore, the jumpsuits like the costumes from a clockwork orange, bright block colours like the suits from 2001 a space odyssey, etc.
Can somebody explain me what‘s going on with these cuffed arms on the blazers? I love the look and would love to hear something about that! Personally I thought that stood out the most
I feel like it’s a reference to something specific but we can’t put our hands on it
Done in old prada shows with their button-down shirts
it is even what Raf did in a lot of his runways
GRANDMA MIUCCIA AND FATHER/DADDY RAF
Something else, I like your hair Bliss!
Ayyyy thanks Jermaine!
The show reminds me of the black lodge, but psychedelic
We agree!
Love your hair in this lol
Omg I was asleep during the first hour of the video 😂😂 sorry Bliss
Thank u🖤
You're quick quick
so i actually watched this in oculus. it was dope and i felt accosted quite a bit. but prada kindaa does this very aggressive vr experience where the models just kinda sneak up on you and stare.
Whoa 😳
I think this show was full of irony... In a good way... kind of.
Starting by the setting and the overproduced filmmaking and shoots that in my opinion continued the “vintage tv show” aesthetic wee saw last season, almost in a Lynchian way, enfasicing the texture and a funky but surprisingly beautiful palette, (again very Lynchian), which for the whole time I had the “black lodge” feel, of a surreal, detached place, where aesthetics are above of all comprehensible or grounded meaning.
The fact that Miucca and Raf sat down and talked about the show last season, in the purest tv interview format, reinforces my opinion in them tacking advantage of having a relatively or once “independent designer” working for a global luxury brand, again all this as a satire not tho themselves but to the whole fashion industry.
Last but not least, about the clothes, I feel that the big in your face logos from SS21 were the first obvious reference in the irony matter, emphasizing their inusability, appropriating it, and taking advantage of it. This is a very Raf’s thing to do if you ask me.
I’m the AW21 wee can see this pockets directly in the gloves, which enlaces that ideal of sarcasm and unusable aspects of the garment for the very sake of making a statement with it, again a very Raf’s thing to do.
Definitely not mi favorite runway but I think Miuccia and Raf are really trying here, let’s see how both (mature designers) mature this co-creation in further seasons.
panduratas keep gettin more beautiful every time man!
I think that the scenery could be a reference non Euclidean spaces and geometry given the feeling that in isolation you can feel as if you’re walking in circles
Nice
Thankkkuuu
Did you style your hair to match Raf ?
😂😂
He had exactly the same hair on the set of this video
Love your videos:
much more analytical than HauteLeMode...
Gerat video
is it just me or does the whole idea of models constantly moving within the same rooms also just in the most literal sense present how we at home are doing the same? i get the whole nightmare thing but doesn't the rooms maybe represent how we are all moving from room to room trying to find new space but never really doing so?
Dope !
We agree!
please do a analysis of undercover scab
Damn im late but still here
I saw some parallels with the iamamiwhoami kin audiovisual album, not sure if it was intentional or not. Furry textures, claustrophobic blank boxy rooms vs expansive spaces, dancing alone - these are all themes through several of the videos. Specifically Sever and Goods are both examples worth checking out for this purpose but the whole series is amazing.
The runway show gave me a tone of Mod Culture mixed with David Lynch
loves
you look unreal in this hairstyle
It’s definitely a choice lol
Love Ya♥️
Crazy
I remember when bliss used to say he didnt like prada. Now she is grandmama apparently
Yeah, I often don’t prefer the look of it for my wardrobe personally. But I’m a fashion critic! My job isn’t to say whether or not I’ll be buying something, it’s to interpret the art 😊
The set-design is done by Rem Koolhaas or his AMO thinktank... AMO designed a loth of the prada catwalks
Bliss got that Raf Simons haircut
No fr tho
time to start saving
Could definitely see the gloves in the back pocket of a pair of pants
Notice how pieces of music from 205W39NYC fw19 and ss20 were incorporated into the soundtrack? Raf did this also in his first Raf show following his dismissal (my words) from CK, using music from his first 205 show in the soundtrack. I'm also noticing how the set in this Prada show can perhaps reflect these past 205 seasons. The purple wall reminds me of the video screen from ss20 and the white carpet reminds me of the popcorn floor from fw19. To me (thus far) Raf's Prada work has been an example of what we could've got at 205 if he woulda been allowed to grow there. I just don't think an American brand was ready for what he had to offer, which is a shame because 205 have been some of my favorite collections in the last 10 years.
blisssssssssssss!
Thats funny, yes all of my fashion nerdom is on the internet, but my office with my sewing maching, and sketches I get to be surrounded by my love of fashion
i dont think ive seen bliss’s hair down in a sEC
I called it, gloves were gonna be a death stranding reference from bliss
😂😂
Architecture of OMA
Could you do a video on Virgil abloh pls
I’ve done two! Off White: czcams.com/video/VR9_sgZLQ2g/video.html
And his first show at LV: czcams.com/video/Yo0djtEebhE/video.html
The set is definitely Rothko inspired
"SICK!!!"

Loved the show. The set looked like David Lynch has designed it, although the colors where rather bright for Lynch. Great Stuff!
Rem Koolhaas did the architecture for it. Check him out! Amazing architect.
você parece o estereótipo do que um critico de moda iria parecer em um filme
