Back in style: Traveling to the past with the historical fashion

If you’ve ever contemplated the accuracy of the Bridgerton attire or wondered what it would look like to dress as an 1800s-era housemaid, the historical fashion community has you covered.

This passionate group of history buffs, DIY needleworkers, and fashion fans make living in the past a modern reality with their takes on outfits over time. Whether they’re sewing a Victorian era ensemble or tracing the origins of the white wedding dress, these creators make space for anyone who is interested in history and style to geek out over in-depth takes on the two areas combined. Furthermore, by tying their videos to larger pop culture moments, they’re bringing fresh relevance to looks that defined previous eras. So far this year, views of videos related to Victorian Era and Costume have received more than 40M views.¹

As New York Fashion week kicks off with styles that will define the year to come, we’re celebrating the community that reminds us how our clothes have evolved. On YouTube today, you’ll find a one-of-a-kind animated logo that brings some of these historical fashion looks to life.
