What I’m Wearing:

I'm soooo inspired by the costume design in Dune. Especially lady Jessica's style on Caladan and the various Bene Gesserit costuming. So regal and beautiful, it makes me want to do a sewing project again and get into dyed silks

I've always had a real passion for post-apocalyptic fashion and Rick Owens, urgh, love it. But, I've always struggled making it look authentic being 5'2" and having curves; imo, the dystopian look works best on waif-like physiques, so I do struggle to make it work on myself. I love the idea of Dieselpunk, but it very quickly becomes what I feel is quite tacky/cheap looking when you start hot-glueing things onto corsets and stuff. I find it a bit too costumey/cosplay most of the time which isn't my style. Let's just say I'm still working on how to incorporate the dystopian look into a 1950s silhouette lol. Great video, as always x

i personally do not have a dark aesthetic.. i gravitate to beachy /supermodel type style … but my husband!! he has alwaysss had a dark aesthetic which i’ve always admired. i am getting inspired with these videos to incorporate these looks fr myself.

[lolalee]

apocalyptic is the aesthetic I've loved but could never find a label for! and I'm a crocheter/knitter so I can finally look for some pieces I can replicate, my wardrobe is thanking you

I went to Morocco recently and it got me reviving my love of Medieval aesthetics which then led me down a rabbit hole of falling in love with Medieval Futurism which is basically the same as Avant Apocalypse. Finding videos on these styles is tough. So glad I caught this one.

Some more inspiration for Apocalyptic Punk: Tank Girl and Borderlands video game series,

Kid me was Obsessed with Padme's entire wardrobe

Great video, thank you so much. I was very attracted to Dune costumes, colors and photography. Especially those priestesses from Bene Gesserit, veils coverig their tatooed faces, pearls, ranges of golden chains around their hips. And Timothée Chalamet just as he is. ❤

I hadn’t heard of Decopunk but the word just drew my attention. So after some quick research I think for Decopunk inspo specifically, Disney Atlantis animated movie is perfect! It’s the right time period and everything being set in 1920 (iirc) and even the animation style has the sharp and clean lines of art deco.

Great video! Never realised that some of Miyazaki's work is solarpunk. For those looking to buy some clothes, H&M's soon to be released capsule collection with Rok Hwang looks very much at home with some of the aesthetics we saw in this video!

post-apocalyptic fan here .. I tend to gravitate towards streamlined monochrome cyber looks .. but then I always feel too "pointy" and feel the need to add a cozy chunky knit or flowy shawl to get back to my natural essence .. I had no idea avant apocalypse existed and I am so very gratefull that you brought it up here! it is just perfect! .. dieselpunk is my new fave aesthetic to look at but probably only admire :D

[andjelaboskovic]

You're my favorite YT fashion place! Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos.

[pixelsylph]

Ugh this is so hard for me because I love the cleanness of cyber/futurism but I love the brutalism of dystopian aesthetics. I want a mix of Alien: Covenant and Dune and some how in there add the etherealness of fairies.

[RayatheGhoul]

I actually just bought a few pieces from Taro's Wish which is a secondhand store today, I think she coined the term 'Romantic Wasteland' and I am ALL for that!

[CristinaDias]

Really loved this video! I was one of the ones who requested post apocalyptical fashion in your last video and you nailed it so well! Thank you!🙏🏻

[preciousypenguino]

Dieselpunk... yes please. I find that 1930s/40s styles are way easier to do. Loose waves, red lips with stripes and leather. But "lazy apocalyptic" has a special place too lol. I still have my diy wasteland weekend pants and get compliments whenever i wear them :) Throw some pirate and armor in the mix and I'm happy 😊
Good video 🖤

Hello again, Silky! So sorry that I've been absent from some of your uploads. Alas, I've been super busy the last few weeks. Life is what it is when ya get ultra busy. Once again you've made some _VERY_ good, well made & interesting fashion collages. With well spoken and nicely shown off pics. I also appreciate with how you allow them to be on screen longer & to be viewed without rushing or adding in too loud music into the final mix. Compared to other fashion & sub culture YouTubers, you provide a lot of very good content.👍

I also appreciate a text based shout out of Dark City (1998). Alex Proyas two 'big' titles of The Crow (1994) & Dark City are such unique films. It's a shame that his career never got truly bigger past cult status.🤔I always loved how his films looked & were scored.🖤🕸🦇

[calliebrookearnold]

Yes I’m excited about this one! I was actually going to ask if you could make a dark space-sci-fi style guide and this is pretty close. One of my favorite aesthetics.

ahh, so good!! i love the og witchy, occult styles but the apocalyptic styles were prob my fave in this video, great work tyy <33

[airu]

I recently discovered that my style suits more into the category avant garde and now you made this video!!! I think Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake and Ann Demeulemeester works can be put into one of these categories
