Girl Thriteen is not racist lmao

If the ethos of Issey Miyake's design perspective is nature, why did he design with so many synthetic fabrics that seemingly harm nature? Genuinely curious if someone knowledgeable could answer!

I could listen to you talk about how societal transgressions can lead us to a better future all day

What's so crazy is that I literally read Rookie Mag when I was like 9 to 11 years old, so I'm nostalgic of something from my childhood that people older than me wrote to be nostalgic of their own childhoods...wow.

rewatching this video because the concepts are feeling more relevant to my life & relationship w/ fashion rn. thanks for having shared your thoughts <3

Like this film has so many unanswered questions like how did evie end up like this Did Tracy have to repeat the year? did she get all her friends back? did she forget her old lifestyle? What happened to Evie? Like there's so much i wanna know 😭

Honestly i feel like tracy was gonna end up like that even if she didn't get called a cabbage patch kid (but not as extreme tho) because she was already rebelling it's just that evie made it even worse like she was already showing signs of mental health problems and she was already smoking and i think mel knew she was smoking because in the beginning of the film she picks up a cigarette from the ground and that's where tracy usually hid her cigarettes and plus she already knew mason was smoking pot so she's obviously not too strict with drug use and at the end of the film when her and Brooke are confronting tracy and mel says she knew what was going on but didn't know it went that far which is already irresponsible of her so the cabbage patch insult was just the cherry on top

Came back to this video after I saw a lot of Bianca Censori outfits, and i wondered if it would be seen the same. She is wearing these really sheer outfits in winter i guess there is a certain luxury of not having to be exposed to the cold for extended periods of time that allow her dress like that. To me in seems to have a similar effect as the Olsen twins Boho days

A cinematic masterpiece is righttttt 👏🏽 thank you for being so down to earth to actually SEEEEE and FEEEEL what this movie is about and what it represent bc YAHHHHH these kind of lifestyles DO happen for young ones. My friend was a part of it at this literal age and became a drug addict all thru high school. I almost did too but I wasn’t cool enough for her, thank goodness, or else yeah. I also met a 12 yo dressed and made up like an 18 yo telling me and the crew how she’s gonna find someone for me to hook up with I was like girl you’re 12 🫨 so yaaaahhhh this movie is so moving. I’m happy that there’s someone who appreciates the message unlike “Movies that raised us” bc they came into the review with hesitation and disapproval but GLORIFIED Cruel Intentions like ummmmm that’s about a bro and sis sexually manipulating a young girl to get back at a guy 😀 make it make sense?? Anywaaaayyyys middle school for me was 2007-2009 and the cool shoes were chucks, etnies, DC, and the cool backpacks were jansport all the way

I appreciate the thought that coolness is morally neutral. We can cast a wide net with our experience and perception of cool. We can keep a balanced and critical perspective on it. We can see it as a nudge to examine evocative objects in meaningful ways. And we can enjoy the thrill of it.

You're a gem.

"they capitalize on the fact that people want the status associated with expensive things that are identifiable" i'm so glad you're shedding light on this topic in an age where we confine ourselves to the "aesthetic" we identify with

Think in a different way and the fashion is in your heart--these are the messages that I needed today, and you lifted my spirits. Big thank you!

In defense of Evie: Because she's villainized as the bad influence friend, her trauma gets overshadowed. She is accused of being a liar. She's in survival mode so she keeps making friends with people who use her and then when she's no longer fun or has anything to give, she gets tossed out. She's only a plot device, you never see her in moments alone like they show with Tracy. I remember watching my friends argue with their parents like Tracy does and wondering how they could get away with that, or why would even do that to a loving parent? The Evie's of the world have no frame of reference to see what the problem is or how they are contributing to it. I feel like the movie makes it look like she ruined Tracy's life on purpose because of the natural way we side with the main character but you can see Tracy was already changing before she met Evie. It's tempting to blame Evie for the changes but she was just there at one point in time, and again, this is a child in survival mode. She doesn't know she's manipulating, she doesn't even know what she's lying about. I remember being accused over and over in my childhood and not understanding why because honesty was a virtue to me. My phone would get cut off because my caregiver couldn't afford it or would break it, but my friends would assume the worst. Let's also put responsibility back where it belongs, the adults are failing both Tracy and Evie. I loved my Tracy friends. I was always so confused by the painful endings, just like they were.

This movie is a perfect example of how tense female relationships are at this point of your life

Can't wait to rewatch this!

18:13-19:00 hits so hard after watching both personal style videos. Thank you for a great message!

thx u so much for your words

the blues clues rant lmfaaaooo 😭😭😭

this is what happens when aspiring creatives get their inspiration from instagram moodboards who regurgitates the same content

You're so cool I'd love to be friends 🤍

my why is because i grew up with uniform my whole life and never really got to express myself with clothes and felt a lack on control of self

On the topic of the misinformation and appropriation of Y2K fashion/culture. I think it deals with access to pop culture back then. Regular people weren't dressing in the chrome, plasticy garb because they were essentially costumes. You would see them in music videos, movies, video games, because Y2K represented the idea of a computer led future. The appliances might have looked y2k, but even then they were gimmicky. But it looked cool, so to those who were so young or weren't born yet, their idea of the late 90s -early 2000s bleed together. Access to certain movies, toys, and games from that era from older relatives perhaps. But the actual era was so short. In relation to that, someone mentioned the 2010. With that comes vaporwave and future funk. And the neo-80s look. Vaporwave/future funk purposefully took old iconography and samples from the 80s and morphed it into idea of capitalistic surrealism. But since we're post Y2K, people have more access to niche sub cultures. So, they swung their appreciation for it back into following what marketing teams from the early 90s would have produced. The bright, loud apparel, random squiggles and shapes on things, assymetrical classes. And just brighter "personalities". The further away society gets from a certain, passing culture, the further they rely on what pop culture of that time deemed trendy

found you via twitter, i love the way you articulate yourself in a way that makes what you think clear but also doesn’t treat the audience like idiots. thank you for your work i love it!!

esoteric yum

Honestly this video is such a gem

lol I know I'm a little late to this video but there is literally a genre of fashion based on a futuristic look called "techwear" where the fabrics that are generally used focus on things like water resistance, fast drying, and or breathability. Or maybe they're cut in a way for more articulation and have other functions.

thirteen is the only reason i learned to speak gibberish lol

Yappin

Straight yappin

I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that they used black people to indicate that they were with the wrong crowd😪

just reminding everyone that this is the best video on the internet

Do you mean to say "formed," as opposed to "informed?"

Wow yes, the presence and comprehension of this work is everything! What a unique commentary in yet another monetized culture bent on diluting the truth towards the status quo. Art about art, indeed. There is always a pang of grief to know we are this lost and to see it reflected so clearly. But I am moved by the work and your analysis nonetheless! Thank you Edit: I love the hypermundane as the recognized way to solve it all, it’s the perfect gateway back towards the embodied self and its expression therein. How genuinely empowering!

loved this!

One thing I really like about 20471120 and also Gaultier, beauty:beast, Girbaud, etc is how they were able to subvert traditional clothing styles while creating designs that were functional and comfortable to wear. In particular with Gaultier's stuff, people tend to only focus on his haute couture stuff, he made a-lot of very functional utilitarian clothing with organic materials like wool and cotton...I hate this idea that sustainable, comfortable clothing has to be boring, the dominance of brands like Carhartt in the mens streetwear fashion space is really visually irritating to me.

Where did you get that necklace from?

I love your Aphex Twin pendant. I don't know you, but mad respect.

slat slat slatt

I mean yes and no

I went to high school 2008-2011, the popular shoes were uggs and black high top converse. Idt we had popular backpacks but tote bags were kinda the it girl bag and jansports. Another random popular thing were skinny denim CAPRIS and skinny jeans.

i think you’re reading into race really hard. the guy who roofies her is white. the guy who pierces them is latino. her moms crack addict boyfriend is white. the guy next door who makes out w them is white. i don’t think this movie is trying to push an agenda at all, i think they’re just two girls who live in california. and on top of that, la, which is was a super racially diverse city at the time.

rian is iconic

Avril lavigne such a real one

I think I’ve always thought that the black people = bad people was ridiculous and corny that they had that thought process but I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about it that much. I never noticed how much they used race throughout the narrative until you pointed it out.

next video when I miss u

tumblr is for the people who know what they like
