I love the concept of the video, but I am very disappointed in this sponsorship. Established Titles is a very shady company, and there is no evidence that they actually plant trees or are even based in Scotland. Their reviews have been astroturfed to the sky on websites like TrustPilot, and the very premise of the company plays on the idea of the sale of noble titles (which is historically a tricky legal subject). They attempt to deceive people into believing they hold an actual title of nobility that comes along with the land, but holding an actual title is a legal status in Scotland and some other countries that is not afforded to the purchaser of one of these certificates. They also claim that people will own a plot of land, but the purchaser doesn't even own the land according to Scottish law. There are numerous companies doing the same thing as Established Titles, and there are a number of KZread videos, blog posts, etc. discussing these scams in-depth that I recommend people check out before considering using this website. Buyer beware.

I love how unapologetically girlie Totally Spies could be. One of my favorite parts was their weapons! The lipstick lazers! The multiple purpose ring! A barette that was a camera or buzzsaw! The hairdryers! Like I really love how much they took items that women used and was like this could be something. Also, I loved their catsuits! How each of them were smart, stylish and athletic….man I just really like Totally Spies.

When I was a kid, it never mattered to me that they were girlie. Their fawning over boys, clothes and the works never bothered me, showing that demographics are not everything for a show. They could kick ass and look Totally awesome while doing it. In fact Clover is my favorite because she was equal parts smart, strong and capable, as well as (in my opinion) the most stylish. Though that also could have been because I had a cartoon crush on her when I was young. And as you said, their gadgets were the coolest. I didn't care they were girlie or looked like girl products. I wanted the heart shaped jet-backpack, the laser lipstick and the compact!
I really appreciate the presence of Winx Club and Totally Spies growing up. Not only were they very positive towards female friendships,but also telling people you can love pretty things and be smart and strong at the same time.

Not only has the fashion aged really well (which it has), I think the show overall has aged quite gracefully. I've probably got some nostalgia coloring that opinion, but, I imagine it'd still go over well with a lot of kids today, and it wasn't particularly prone to anything problematic, which cannot be said for many things of the era. Good visual design, good sound design, fun storytelling.

The animation company actually paid a fashion company $80k to design over 1000 outfits for the girls. It was an effort to give off an authentic Beverly hills cool girl impression. The girls have so many outfits they never wear the same one twice and sometimes go through multiple outfit changes in a single episode.

A similar thing can be found in the Winx Club tv show. I think it's less relatable because it's more stylized and extra, but a literal goal of that show was to advertise fashion, i.e. they hired Italian designers to create all their clothing. I still see people referencing the clothes of that show.

I LOVED Totally Spies, still do, and I think a big part of why I love it so much is that they managed to showcase feminine characters without putting them in a box. I found a lot of shows around this time gave female characters a "type". They were girly, or nerdy, or goth, or tomboy/athletic, and they never drifted from their assigned personality type. Totally Spies allowed the girls to be full people with personalities. They were able to be feminine while also being badass, or nerdy, or athletic. They were never just one thing, and I really appreciate that. Also I work in animation and I know first hand what a massive pain in the ass it is to have characters dressed completely differently in every episode, so major kudos to the people who worked on this because that's not simple to do.
Oh my god, I was SO into Totally Spies as a kid that I would write them letters and my mom would pretend that they called her to answer me. Good stuff. (I remember seeing some Polish kid’s choice awards on the channel they aired on - Jetix? - and some cosplayers took the award for Totally Spies in their name, so that’s how my baby brain thought they actually exist lmao). I always liked that they have a different outfit in every episode, at least they weren’t all-talk about the fashion. I guess that was inspired by Sailor Moon which also made characters wear different outfits.

I was a huge tomboy growing up. Although I never enjoyed participating in super girly things myself I LOOOOVED seeing them on TV. Totally Spies was my favorite show alongside Danny Phantom (I dress like Sam now) and Kim Possible. I wish Disney Channel didn’t antagonize femininity, that shit fucked me up in middle school. Growing up I really enjoyed seeing pink satured girly things Disney Channel made me belittle those. I totally had a “not like other girls” phase in middle school simply because of the content I was exposed to. Now I look back and appreciate the things I once looked down upon. Also as an open bi girl now i have a soft spot for bimbos and femmes 😩🔥💅
Totally Spies is HUGE in Brazil too. They kept reruns forever here. The care that they put in the girls wardrobe is amazing.

To be fair, 60s and 70s fashion was big in the late 90s and early 2000s American fashion for teens. I had several pair of Mudd jeans that were bell bottoms, Britany Spear's Opps! music video had her in a red jump suit and very 60s styles, there also had a lot of flower fashion in this period on hats and shirt fronts. Scooby Doo was in big with a lot of teens as a 'look'. So seeing it in Totally Spies wasn't a shock to me. It was reflective of the period.
Just as Karolina was into Totally Spies, I was like that with W.I.T.C.H., the magazine. I got a drawing published in one of the issues, too. And a letter in another issue! So I totally get her when she says it was a huuuuge deal to have her letter published in the Totally Spies magazine. If we knew each other back then, I'd say: You go, girl!

Have you seen who Sam is friends with? It is near impossible that Clover would let Sam get out with dressing nerdy. Clover would intervene and prevent a fashion disaster before it happens. I like to guess that the designers and writers for the show had fun picking out outfits for the girls each episode. I like that the show had "girly elements" but that didn't stop it from attracting a male audience. It also didn't feel the need to add "manly elements" in order to attract a male audience. I really enjoyed it back in the day and I recently gave it a rewatch. I know other male friends who said that they enjoyed watching it as kids. (what is considered girly or manly is different for lot of people so just plug in your interoperation as you read this)
Thank you, K., for inspiring a bit of nostalgic research. Did you know TS was originally and mostly a French production? Do you think that might have influenced their style and fashion sensibility?

It's true; that show was iconic for many reasons, but one of the most memorable was that they changed their outfits EVERY DAY, sometimes more than once! 💯🎉🤩
I always though the fashion in Totally Spies reminded me of Kim Possible. Where it's clothes that seemed simple but cool that you wish your family could afford to buy you.
The really amazing thing is that they put them IN so many unique outfits. I can't really think of very many shows where the characters got to have multiple outfits. And certainly not THIS many. Incredible
I named my daughter Clover because of this show !!❤️🍀 I was obsessed with the fashion of this show and many others of the early 2000s ❤️ I was the generation of us who were not quite old enough to dress in the y2k style(I was 7-10) but old enough to want to be those girls soooo badly but by the time i was old enough to really start dressing up (15-18) it was the height of the 2010s 😭 it was all flower crowns, chevron print, mint green, high/low skirts and shirts just to name a few of the horrendous trends of 2010s lmao thats why the resurgence of y2k fashion is SO special to me because 10 year old me is living her dream 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
This series is so nostalgic for me. It captured the clothes of the era so well.
I freaking love Totally Spies, I watched it so much as a kid

Wow! Throw back. I was always a tomboy. This and legally Blond, are the reasons I became comfortable with my femininity as I was going through my teen years.This not only made girly cool without being cringy. It also made me fill that if I felt girly once in a while then do it.
I love so much the fact that you do whatever you genuinely feel like doing. This is so random, I love it.♥️
It's great to know that so many people were obsessed with Totally Spies the same way I was. My favourite was Sam. I remember coming home from school and watching it during lunch 🙃
The fact that totally spies mix the (at the time) current fashion with 60s-70s reminds me a lot of how jawbreaker mixed the 90s with the 60s. Because of the 20 year rule, I think series that use this rule of thumb betray it with mixing two decades 30 years a part. You'd tend to either blend the 80s with the 90s or the 70s and 90s... Not the 60s. Same can be said with totally spies (although I think the callback to the 70s is partially bc of the spy craze in that era).

In Mina Le’s video on Fran Fine’s fashion, she mentions that during the 90’s there was a 60’s fashion revival going on. So it may be because of that that those aesthetics are merged
It’s a timeless show! My daughter was born after the show ended and she loves it!
I'm also Karolina, I'm Polish and I call myself the biggest fan of “Totally spies”, unfortunately, this is where the similarities end because my favourite one was Sam 😄 For some time now I have been repeating myself films aimed for teenagers and I often feel cringe, but the spies put me in a good mood - I feel like in the days of the primary school, when I turned on the TV after a hard day at school, lunch is already eaten and in half an hour my friends will come to take me for a playground. Outfits of spies, other characters and the whole style of animation are obviously brilliant. I think Mandy's purple outfits are especially wearable nowadays ☺
I still love Totally Spies, my brother and I used to watch it, he thought it was cool too haha. For anyone curious or wants to nostalgia trip, the full episodes are on KZread.

Totally Spies has a huge place in my heart, I loved that show so much, played the games on cartoon network's website and their own website! Sam was my fav, her smarts were so inspiring to me! I'm so happy that you decided to make this video, here for the Totally spies Praise
I don't know what other regions might also relate to this. But I grew up in the southern part of British Columbia, in Canada. When I was in 6th grade(1999/2000) the popular fashion was definitely 70s inspired. Bell bottoms, halter tops, and platform boots or sandals. Also peace sign everything. I remember unironically saying "groovy" a lot. The 70s inspiration definitely drifted thru the early to mid 00s, but I remember it being super popular that school year.

This is entirely out of left field and mildly hilarious because I'm seeing more on the subject than I ever expected. Has there been a recent resurgence in Totally Spies content? I've seen a few videos about it from *WILDLY* disparate sources (Seriously, the first I saw again about it was from Spilling the Milk of all people.)

Buffy also has late 60s vibes, it's a good blend Edit: Buffy herself, not particularly other characters. Everyone had their own developing aesthetic
I've always loved totally spies it was always so fun, but now that I think about it more in depth, it's cool since it showed that women didn't need to be masculine to be strong. "Girlieness" was also powerful!
I freaking loved this show! In my country was aired by fox kids which then became Disney XD. Literally XD was part of the logo.
I lived during this era and watched almost all episodes. Their room was everything, also their clothes too. So fashion.
It's so cool seeing how those cartoon's influence kids around the world, My childhood in Brazil was really marked by them 😊
This video is such a nostalgia bomb. I remember basically running home from elementary school just to tune in the latest episode of Totally Spies. Thank you, Karolina! ❤️
I was just as obsessed, i still have most of the stuff I collected. Totally spies and W.I.T.C.H.
This I will always like - people nerding out (with feeling) about their personal obsessions from some part of their earlier lives (and my daughter - 25 yo now - absolutely adored Totally Spies!!!)
Honestly, I know you say your hair is not in era, which is right, but I feel like the vibe is not *that* different from like... Something tight and very up with lots of braids or mini buns/knots etc that you absolutely would have seen back then.
The fashion is one thing I absolutely LOVE about this show. It's timeless, and just so cute. I've always wanted some of the outfits lol. Honestly the actual plot of the show aged well too I think. Since it's about spies and made up futuristic tech and the fashion is timeless, if they ever made a (GOOD) reboot, they wouldn't have to change much about it to make it fit in today's world. I think the only hairstyle that may or may not work today is Clover's usual hairstyle. As iconic as it is, it always looked a bit weird to me lol. Too pointy in my opinion. Alex's bob is cute. But I'm no hairstyle expert so what do I know?
FINALLY, the praise TS deserve. I’ve rewatched the show like 3 times and its STILL as iconic as the first time😭 I’ve heard Marathon are giving Totally Spies a reboot and I hope they will be able to preserve their unique aesthetics and commercially succeed so fingers crossed🙏🏻

I was obsessed with Winx Club!
I was a very intense Powerpuff Girls fan at this age in the exact same way. All the merch, fan club member, literally always Blossom for Halloween. I always believed Totally Spies was a continuation of the series, secretly, because they used all the same archetypes, right down to the hair colors and cuts. It was vibes! I loved it! Sugar and Spies and Everything Nice!
"Totally Spies... are also Totally Iconic™." Agreed.
Nice to know someone managed to be even more obsessed with this show than I was lmao. Now that I think about it, Totally Spies (or ekhem ODLOTOWE AGENTKI) shaped my aesthetic preferences....
and then there's miraculous ladybug where the two main characters are supposed to be HEAVILY into fashion and look at those outfits, what is this supposed to be 😭😭

I love Totally Spies! Let's not forget the artists who had to draw multiple model sheets for each outfit, especially when the outfits change throughout an episode.
I feel so validated as a 27yo drawing fan art of this for the first time in decades
For two years now since I rewatched the show I've been saying to everybody that Totally Spies! is the best aesthetic. Extremely y2k girls who beat the s*** out of bad men on the daily?! Come on! Literally every episode every girl has a different outfit on. So much inspiration there!

I submit for your consideration: 1930's spy, but a Totally Spy.
Totally spies and teen titans were my everything in early middle school. LOVE YOU CLOVER! 🍀
so excited for this one!!!
The style honestly reminds me of 1998 Charmed. They sort of did the same mish mash of 60s through to early 2000s style and it was one of my favourite things about the show!
I feel like this same logic goes for a lot of the Bratz! Like Yasmín has SO many 70s inspired styles.
I've heard that fashion designers designed most, if not ALL, of the outfits that Clover, Sam and Alex were wearing in the show. And they basically wore a different outfit in every episode (aside from their WOOHP spy jumpsuits, of course)
Something else I noticed is unlike literally any other cartoon or CGI show. They *_actually_* wear different outfits every day like _normal_ *people!*
Totally Spies were my introduction to feminine fashion. Or any fashion, really. I love that show so much 😍😍😍
Wow, didn’t expect a totally spice nostalgia train tonight, thanks! How about maybe Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen TAS fashion review?
I never could’ve dreamed of this video, but it’s exactly what I needed! I loved this show so much ✨🤩
As a fellow "Totally Spies" watcher, I love that you're bringing the early 2000's nostalgia to your channel. Much appreciated in addition to all the vintage content!

Same formula as Sailor Moon. The main characters have simple yet colorful and original clothes. While being inspired by the fashion of their time, they aged very well. Both shows have many iconic outfits.
Love totally spies!! This really pinpoints a lot of what I didn't realize I loved about this show! It's so rare for animated shows to change a characters fashion but it was such a fun aspect of this series. I also love the fashion in cardcaptor and sailor moon 😊 so iconic
I was just smiling the whole timeeee, growing up in the UK totally spies was not as popular as in Europe ,so the fact that you honoured and analysed a childhood classic giving it the merit it deserves, just made my inner child soooo happy.
Gurl you made my day with THE THEME of the video
