here's my way to learn fashion (the artistic side):

1 - Basics: you want to have an idea of the eras so that you can identify the references, inspirations, and history behind garments, so learn some very basic fashion history and see what they wore in the different eras (example: 1970's hippie movement, 1960's the mini skirt, 1990's, grunge, 1980's full glam). Just remember to keep it simple, you just want an intro.

2 - European fashion: Everyone used to do what European designers said it had to be done, so they're gonna be your starting point, especially French and Italian. For french designers, you have, Dior, Chanel, YSL, Pierre Balmain, Hubert de Givenchy, and Pierre Cardin. and italian, Schiaparelli, Ferragamo, Gucci, Emilio Pucci, Armani, Valentino and Capucci. Also designers like Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne (Karl cause why not?)

3 - American fashion - After 1973 American fashion grew a lot, and I personally really like American designers. Some designers to start with are Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Carolina Herrera, Halston (watching the Netflix show doesn't count at all lmao), and Stephen Burrows.

4 - Moving Forward: Now you can start researching your favorite brands and designers (Galiano, McQueen, Versace, Miuccia Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Tom Ford, etc). Creative directors get their inspiration from the old archives of the house and it's really interesting to see how they modernize the designs and how they reference them.

5 - Smaller picture: Check collections from smaller designers. people who are less known tend to get their ideas stolen from big brands (example: converse) and they deserve credit for their creations :D so make sure to support them (especially black designers)

that's pretty much it, you never really finish learning anyway, but this order helped me a lot lol, pluuus I watched almost all of bliss's videos, and also Mina Le is great at commentary and analysis, and MacDoesIt reviews red carpets and stuff, he's not a fashion channel, but he's funny, so when u have no motivation, at least u can laugh at ppl's outfits with him. oh and Karolina Zebrowska's channel is great to learn about fashion history

I love the point you made about cheap, fast-fashion clothing signifying the exploit of workers, it's something that needs to keep on being talked about. However, and very sadly, brands that sell expensive clothing don't always not exploit their workers (sorry, I don't know if that made sense). Just because a garment is expensive doesn't mean the people who made it were rightfully treated and paid. It's important to always research the brands we purchase from, no matter what their price point is. That doesn't take away from how good the video though, great work as always!!

I have clothes since I was 17 and I’m 34 now! The newest garment is 2 weeks old and it’s a second hand 80’s silk dress.

it’s a art movement. Create, don’t be afraid to try anything! Only 1 chance at life, might as well live it in style.

When I started to learn fashion in high school, one dabs into this and that for years to see what they like and don't like. Finally, I like my look and I've stuck to it. Fashion evolves, changes through time.

"Buying clothes constantly is really lame." You're right I really need to exercise 😭 don't mind me maliciously misreading your intentions to fit my self depricating thoughts haha

[DerxRote]

My personal favourite brands to buy timeless cloth is ACNE Studios and AMI Paris. They are not too expensive and both have some good sales

My absolute favorite, this one shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren, 80 bucks but those long sleeves fit and flatter me.
