I’m writing on the rise of Harris Reed in the fashion industry post-covid. What is your input on them?

Trent

How do you feel about Edward Enninful leaving British Vogue and what did you think of the iconic March 2024 cover?

Von Childs

what exactly is wrong with trends? if fashion is an indicator of time and environment wouldn’t trends be useful for understanding that?

grass

have fashion writers lost their power?

Dennis Kulke

Is there any big cases of fashion “lost media”???

Alex

do you know of any good podcasts to follow?

Elena Weiss

Could you share denim brands worth owning?

Mary

This might be a semantic question: Is some of Hussein Chalayan's work considered deconstruction?

Itamar Elran

Hi Bliss, What’s the discord channel and how do I join :) and what in your opinion is the importance of knowing who you are to have style?

Olij Studio

What is considered "high fashion", and do you believe that the "high fashion" name is confused with influencer and celebrity style/Fashion?? Lol hope that made sense.

Ryan Hill

What is fashions obsession with youth?

lnadnons

How has becoming a fashion critic changed your perspective on the fashion realm? Do you at times feel disconnected from the more personal interactions that designers have? Have you felt like your missing something from your aspirations by not being a stylist or designer? Thank you! Trying to find the specific world of fashion I want to be in and I want to feel fully immersed.

elo

Do fashion designers follow particular trends (lifestyle, social...) or do they create them?

Anne Baratte

What is so unique in fashion as a media that it allows it to convey such complex messages?

Albert Bañeras

What fashion brands are making genuine progress in sustainability? And what does that mean?

Ryan Glassmoyer

What is the point of having performances in the middle of fashion shows? (FKA Twigs performance during Valentino, 2022 Louis Vuitton with their Virgil tribute) they are beautiful performances but isn't the point of the fashion show to look at the clothes. Its hard to focus on two equally engaging things, where it then feels like loosing out on both experiences.

Nicole

When’s the next pickup vid?

Elijah Blanton

I have many questions regarding video games and/or fashion. For now, I have this one: why, there aren't many big successful and meaningful collaborations between fashion brands and video games? Though, video games medium is perfect for selling stuff, for some reason fashion houses don't know how to do it properly. In my opinion, it might be due to differences in origin: fashion is elitarian in a nutshell, and big video games are more like a pop products. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Anatolik Belikov

What are your thoughts or favourite examples of guerilla marketing in fashion

Hydroxy

Has social media killed the individual in fashion? Most things look derivative more and more.

gvoncheap

Thoughts on mowalola ss24 crash? Also would you consider doing an analysis?

Joe

how do you find where/when an item or garment is from in terms of year and collection?? is looking through all the runway photos the only way??

Hi, I’m new here from Switzerland. I had a question about the discord group. How can I join it? Is there a link somewhere? Thank you for all the informations you give us Bliss, love the work, keep it going💪 Thanks and have a good day!

Tobias Garcia

do you think a designer coming into a pre established brand can build/express their own independent vision from the motifs and traditions the house already has established?

Xanadu

At what time do you think fashion will not be mainstream so we can get back to the real stuff? Everything is very trendy and nobody has a specific style anymore

CJ Quansah

Why is it that it seems most youtubers covering fashion from an art theory perspective don’t explore the influence of queer culture on so much of contemporary and 20th century fashion?

Andrew Behan

What is your take on older houses (like Schiaparelli) being restarted in modern times after not showing for decades? Do you feel that there’s any difference for designer continuity within the brand for lack of archival material, or do you feel that houses like that may have different goals?

Finley Strong

Is it ok to have a fashion show but not being able to sell any of the clothes you present? (Just for the sake of art/presenting)

Trent Unidad

Can I be a good communist and still love luxury fashion?😩

Aisling Lynch

How do you balance your love for fashion and all it's artistic endeavors with the need to monetize and create an actual cash-flow positive business.

Andrew Batory

Exactly. Expand, push, create within the different guard rails of the house… fun for all! Just my 1/2 cent worth.

Shoesnshows -Dan

How do you feel about luxury/high-end stores making clients wait in queues outside post-pandemic?

Mia Forbes

Hi Bliss, I would like to get your thoughts on Alessandro Michele's departure from gucci and the overall repercussions of that decision. Mainly the question everyone seems to be asking-What can we expect from gucci from now on and what will the overall reception of this change be years from now. I just had to ask because I recently got into Alessandro's "quirky" gucci and seeing just how impactful that era was for gucci as a new fan it's disheartening to be unable to experience that era which many hold in high regard. Thx in advance and thx for getting me into fashion history.

Kayn Mathews

Theres always this thing about a brand needing to have a narrative and a story to tell. I don't really understand why. If other artists in other fields of art are able to explore freely why can't this be the case in fashion? Couldn't this be the next revolution? That fashion brands which perhaps do something very different every couple seasons won't get judged badly for it. Of course there would be difficulties for those brands in the production of the clothes.

George

Was there much conversation around producing responsibly? I realise that this conversation is getting tired but I don't know that we are seeing much of a push from the big brands?

Thea Basiliou

What's the most interesting fabric or material you have touched?

Ibraheem Saoud

How much knowledge do you need to have about a brand to consider yourself a “fan”?

M A

Why do you think Sean McGuirr was hired at Alexander McQueen? His background of fun and playful designs at JW Anderson seem quite the opposite of what the McQueen house has historically been.

Antonio Padilla

Do you think that the rise in fashion literacy amongst young men will make esoteric trends more prevalent in the future? Maybe not powdered wigs but something.

MaxDontClear

Who is, in your opinion, the best avante garde designer?(Mens or Women’s)

Konstantin Seiler

What do I do if i'm passionate for fashion and clothing but am lost when it comes to making a successful career from my interests?

blake

Demna or ghesquire

YN

We know that the major, well-funded fashion houses make cool art. But what are some brands or designers with the best "bang for buck" in terms of artistic output, past or present? i.e., who's put out strong work on a budget, and how did they do it?

Steven MacMaster

What are some new ways to showcase clothes that you find interesting (outside the usual of runway, lookbook, video, etc)

Arnaud Zabriskie

What do you personally want to see be done in a fashion brand that make you rethink fashion? World building wise or brand vision wise. I’m studying to be a fashion designer now and I want to start a brand that will make you obsessed (in a unhealthy way)

AK

How designers can produce on a smale scale and still make a living out of it? What are some other way than selling clothes to make a profit? (with examples of designer who manage do to it)

Arnaud Zabriskie

What current fashion brand and/or designer creates a culturally poignant and politically subversive statement with their work?
