It must have been so scary for those models to wear those original pieces in the movies...I’d be terrified to even touch them. It was interesting to hear how they were protected. And I adore Raissa’s videos on historical accuracy in movies!

I think they were more stressed by their acting gig in a big movie. Those young models probably know nothing more than the name of the brand :P

She said Versace with a short e (eh) sound at the end correctly. In Italian, a long “E” (ee) sound is often made with the letter “i” and vowel sounds are more consistent in Italian (vs. other languages where e could be used for eh or ee). If an ee sound was wanted you’d use i-like Gianni.

They're shorts, just a really loose leg style. It was perfectly acceptable for specific things like physical sports and swimming to have something so revealing. You can see the gathered part in the middle where the seams are for the crotch/leg.

Right, these aren’t every day wear- there was no “athlesiure” back then so they wouldn’t wear these to go to the grocery store or running errands. Outfits were for specific activities. For example, it would be frowned upon to wear your house dress to church. People still believed in dressing up.
I'm not into fashion nor am I very knowledgeable about it, but I saw a video of her analyzing disney fashion realism a few years ago and I LOVE her! She is so great at making a topic with such a rich history and complexity so accessible!

This one has been my favorite technique critique so far!! Please bring her back for more!

I can't believe 'What A Way To Go!', wasn't featured in this!!! That fantasy song sequence in which Shirley Maclaine changed 15 STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS Edith Head costumes during 5.2 minutes.... it's definitely more iconic than most of the movies featured here!!
I'd love to see her in a how-it's-made style video regarding the creation/techniques and background of avant garde pieces throughout history!
I may be the last person to be interested in the fashion industry, but I really find it interesting how Coco Chanel was the backbone for most of the styles of women's outfits. Personally, I like the simplicity of her designs and although I am not -- and probably will not be -- wearing one, I think the timelessness of her pieces will survive for another hundred years or so. P.S. I also found the "lineages" fascinating Balenciaga - Givenchy, Dior - Saint Laurent. 's nice.
Please, make a part II
Always such a pleasure to hear Raissa talk about Fashion in Film!!!
Love this lady! She definitely has to come back for another video.
Raissa rules! Please bring her back! Would to hear her talk about McQueen and his influence and his crazy runway shows...Vivienne Westwood and punk...music influences on fashion in general over the years would make a great video.
I could watch hours of this. I hope one day Raissa does a Masterclass
I love these videos! Great to see an expert who really knows what she’s talking about ✨ Such interesting insights 👏🏻
I always wondered why chanel models are so young and many of there styles I have seen on women who are mature in the age range of 50's and up
Your love for fashion is so refreshing.
She did a really good job explaining! Very clearly and nicely not snobby or know it all
I’ve never been interested in fashion history but this was brilliant. Also this lady is so informative and completely stunning, of course. I bet she has an amazing wardrobe haha.
I need Karolyn’s Zebrowska to have this job next time. The fashion history queen
Please make a video of Maria Callas style in and out of the stage.😍 The customs of Medea are amazing and it probably will be a tough topic to discuss.

I've never seen any videos with Raissa before, but I can see by other comments that there must be more. She's really good for this sort of thing, and I'll have to check out more of them. I'm not the most trendy of people, but I do love clothes and have way too many. haha I love learning about sewing and fashion and hearing people talk about these things, especially historically and in videos like this.

Raissa: I have a sort of Historical Fashion question that's been bothering ever since I heard an old Irish song titled "Mountains of Mourne". In the second verse he is writing a reply to his girlfriend about how women in London were dressed and he comments that "they don't wear no tops to their dresses at all" and "You could not tell if they bound for a ball or a bath". Now I'm pretty sure these women were not "topless" in our sense of understanding of being bare breasted so all I can think of is that they were showing some cleavage or some skin. Won't you please clear this up, thank you.

Perhaps rather than straps or bodices over the shoulders, it may have been dropped shoulder or sleeveless entirely. So “no tops”. As if the bodice was cut off at the top. The 1850s is when that song came about; and it was rather daring for dropped shoulders in ball gowns. While 1830/1840s did have lower shoulders for ball gowns, it did get lower and the shoulders were more decorative rather than useful in structure for the bodice.
Donatella's bondage dress is something you'd see worn today.
This was super interesting!

Y'all should bring in Riley Kucheran to critique portrayals of Indigenous fashion in film & TV! If he's interested of course. He has an ep on the excellent podcast Ologies if anyone is interested in learning more Immediately edited to add: Raissa is excellent!! Always love seeing her in videos
Ohhh I wonder if she'll review *"Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Paris"* next?? I thought it was interesting back then that an entire telemovie was dedicated to one woman's pursuit of going to a fashion show and dreaming about owning a Dior dress. 😍👗
There is nothing more elegant than the "severed hand" look to make a jacket. Pure camp.
