Blue jeans were invented in America for the mines, the look is about stripping an immigrant population of their individuality to make a unified class of workers to extract wealth from. Fashion has come from bottom-up in terms of socioeconomic status via Black peoples culture being so impressive to the recently culture-stripped white immigrants descendants (traded their culture for the term "white") and the nature of diversity in America's "melting pot" that still isolated the Black community to be distinctly its own (doesn't blend into whiteness, Hispanic, Asian, etc) while also distinctly American brought many to emulate what was "cool" (you can see the socioeconomic bottom-up fashion impressions also in stuff like sagged pants becoming popular from prison clothes, street wear from those within cities without cars, the blue jeans and t shirt, etc). Then American imperialist industry boom the world has American working class trends. Love this video thank you.
Also pants are generally just more popular in colder climates (another reason why global trends are bad.. it's so insane for people in southern US and Australia to be dressing the same as people in northern US and Europe just bc they're all white)
I live in Atlantic Beach Florida 🎉
OSRS;
Aw yeah sick sk8 ramp.
❤
I love the crocs being in sports mode that’s how you know it’s about to get serious 🫶🏾
I was locked in lmaooo
I was so glad when you got to the part about all colors looking good on Black people, bc in the beginning when you were showing examples of that I kept thinking yes they can pull off anything but what if there's a color that pops even more?! I think that less flattering colors can be sneakier on dark skin because melanin just always looks healthier, it's harder to look washed out, so the effect is more subtle but there none the less... Especially when it comes to being torn between similar seasons like winter or summer I definitely wouldn't worry about it. The biggest point is the warm or cool tone and Then it breaks down into more and more subject sections from there... Which I think that a person with dramatic contrast with darker/richer hair and darker eyes can better pull off the both the warm/cool seasons, than a person with low contrast can pull off their sister-warm/cool season. .............I came to this video bc interest in seasons, but I love how much else this video also covers and I am sad some people will miss all the discussion about trends and history bc they think it will only be about seasons!
I think we need to start a petition to make sure Khensani is the costume designer for the live action Princess and the Frog. I don’t mean to punish you 😅 but I’d love to see your take on Tiana’s green wedding/transformation dress.
Cause we whites make the rules subhuman our society and culture dominates
That clip at the beginning of this videos really irritates me, I'm gonna wear the colors I LOVE, whether it's May or January or whatever! I like dark winter colors, not neon and pastels.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on “Mr. Malcolm’s List”. They took colorblind casting to the extreme. Very few of the family relations make any sense and it’s very funny. Overall fun movie too.
Yesssss I plan to recreate Didos Gown aswell for upcoming Olde South ball in SC. My friend will be dressing as her cousin.
Love thisss
How headstrong are you about decoloniality? Are you up for leaving faith? No? Well, who would've thought.
What faith is this? I'm not religious???
@@Khensani 😨 , well i stand corrected then.
Wow! As someone who has always been creative and drawing clothes, being inspired by my life and experiences from Scandinavia as well as West-Africa, I am so glad I found and watched this video! In my consideration of learning new indigenous skills in exchange for physical work as well as online promotion, I was wondering how to share designs without feeling snubbed or missing out on an opportunity to blow up as a designer and profit. "What if someone takes my design and profits without me?" I'd feel used and abused to a degree. Genuinely agree with you that it is so important to remember that this is a community effort. From the plants that were once planted, harvested and turned into yearns that I'll be weaving with and eventually having it turned into a garment. This is a process I'd rather do with passionate people and reap the rewards of together. I think in this modern world we really have missed out on an integral aspect of our human nature, which is community or even that tribal unity that we once had. I think this is a reason why we seek recognition and celebration which society paints "wealth and fame" as the ultimate state for satisfying this crave. I think being able to support a local business or group of people or even town will feel more satisfying and rewarding than having lots of money and being more sheltered and alone in a business oriented lifestyle. Not to say that you can't be wealthy and business oriented and also be social and make a positive difference.
Omg yes yes yees! I'm researching natural textiles from Africa and it's so frustrating to have holland produced fabrics show up in my search!! Love how thorough and honest you are! I'm very interested in finding out about plants that grow in Africa, that can have been or can be used for natural textiles.
Brrraaaa😩...you try looking for books and articles....authors are ⚪...ft?😫
You know a lot about brands🔥
This is the exact problem i was having. All the information was geared told other ethnicities
Totally agree that there is no need to ferl beholden to the western model of fashion presentation
Girl that photo of the models in yellow did NOT suit them…like at all 🙅🏽♀️
This video was so entertaining! I there were some costumes I loved that you hated on 😂 but overall I agreed with most of these rankings- would have loved your thoughts on 2023 but what can you do. Shout out to your two cats chilling in the back ;)
Spectacular video! Thank you so much
Galxboy pronunciation please is it galaxy boy or its Gal and boy
No problem with it being a theatre, that's fun. It's just that lots of social media influencers want you to believe it's real...
Hotep-coture 😂 i can't! Love your work.
Love this. Thank you for providing more information and photos!
This is giving gossip girls Jenny Humphrey😂😂💗💗
I do it because I could never afford any quality items that last me. I also can't buy fast fashion and don't shop online. my only chance are neighborhood sales or thrift shops :(
I do this too, but with furniture.
can you tell us more details about your materials? like where did you get the pattern, how much fabric did you use? please help a girl out😂
Omg
And I am south african
I love this video. Really made me think.
i love how black people are whitewashing themselves in 2023! it wasn't enough that your ancestors were whitewashed so hard they don't even remember their culture!
So cool to see all the pieces come together!
The level of petty that racist white people have is something I have to give my respect to every now and again. They do everything they make to black women appear as plain as possible, and it still doesn't work.
In America it's different. 😢Black women suffer most from THE NEGRO PROJECT: -80% overweight mostly obese -Over 50% Black abortion rate in NYC -Most unwed mothers SOLUTIONS: #1 Lose weight. #2 Marry by 26 for your children's biological health, work WITH Mothernature. #3 Stop glorifying Baby Mama Culture. #4 Be feminine.

Oh look... a unique unwarranted male opinion putting down Black women
love this!
It looks great! Watching creators like you has inspired me to seek out a sewing class.
You don't upload enough for me. My becoming a millionaire by winning the lotto will help with this. Please get a membership going
Hey! Saw the notification and immediately clicked. I would love to see the rest of the look.
your work is amazing
This is wonderful. Thanks for teaching us about this.
I had never heard of quilting as an only way of providing structure in undergarments, but it really looks great! It must be incredibly comfortable and could probably distribute a fair bit of skirt weight on its own as well. Very interesting and fun short, thanks!
I like your work
Girl.. i didn't even notice the hairbrush 🤣 was so wrapped up in listening! Thank you for making this!
1:26 short answer to the question. Yes.
