100 years of beauty in 1 minute

[reboot]

This series is pretty cool. I would love it if they did one for men. My favorites are:

[BasedBuzzed]

It's a shame they only show the face. Understandable for the speed-up makeover parts, but I wanna see what the fashion looked like.

[reboundstudent]

I love these to death. I especially love that they're going International. Seeing similar trends pop up in the same time period, but with local culture twists, just warms my giant anthropology-cross-costume-loving heart.

Me too! Maybe it will come eventually? Clothes would be a much more expensive production, though

Same same! I would love to see India, Jordan, Brazil, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. Do you think they take requests?

I'd only seen the GIF posts on Tumblr, but yeah, these are really awesome. I too would love to see full ensembles rather than just the face.

New videos

The Philippines


Mexico

I don't know why, but the fashion of the 20s and the 30s fascinates me.

[reboundstudent]

I've got my fingers crossed for a "100 Years of Fashion" video for various countries.

This one is fun, combining fashion and dance in London specifically over the last century:

Love that video, RBS

India has just been released. I am fingers crossed for Nigeria or South Africa next

[Enail]

Wow, the Indian one is so glamorous!

With respect to episode 7, it's interesting how those transformations didn't take skin tone into account...

I know. They base the poses on famous media but I bet if you went to the source material the original models would have been a lot whiter. The same is true for Mexico

They aldo missed regional/religious variation. India is so big that it would have been hard to do, but something more like the N Korea and S Korea one using Tamil and Hindi media or Muslim, Hindu and Sikh styles.

[reboot]

Here is Russia.


The "making of" was also pretty cool


I want Nigeria, Brazil or South Africa next

[Wondering]

Oh, I love the Pussy Riot reference.

And '80s hair is so bad everywhere in the world! What were we thinking?

[reboot]

Aquanet it is the only explanation that makes sense. I think my favorite looks are 1910-1930

[Enail]

I like 1910 for Russia. Most of the time I tend to like 20s-40s best, and sometimes 90s-2000s.

[reboot]

Italy us up, not as changeable as some of the others but fun
100 years of beauty Italy

[KitKat]

It just feels so sad to see how the ideals gravitate more and more toward 'sameness'. But that's western beauty culture for you. However for designing characters, that series is a goldmine. Hairstyles in particular.

[Enail]

Did anyone else think the Italy 1940 one looked really modern? If I'd had to guess, I would have pegged it as 90s at the earliest. I liked 1910-1930 best, as is often the case.

[Wondering]

I was surprised by how different the 1940s looked than I was expecting, but that's the War and Mussolini, I guess.

Fascist Italy was surprisingly avant-garde when it came to architecture (Terragni!), design (Depero!) and fashion (leaving the repulsive uniforms of Fascism aside). Anything else not so much (esp. cinema).

[reboot]

Germany


Brazil (surprised they picked a white woman since most Brazilians are mixed race)


America - White men's edition


Ethiopia

[Wondering]

80s hair sucks everywhere except Ethiopia!

The men's one is kind of boring. It's just like back almost the same thing every couple decades.

[reboot]

Yeah, Ethiopia won the 1980s

The "Making of" videos are even better than the videos:
Ethiopia

Brazil

Germany 1910-1940

Germany 1950-2010

All the others have "Making of" videos, but I am too lazy to copy them all

[reboot]

Japan



China

And the making of videos
