Hey welcome back to another episode of TwoSet violin.
As you all know,
we are also the leading experts in classical music fashion.
- Yes. - That's right. TwoSet Apparel.
We have violin chillwave T-shirt.
We have the La Mer...Debussy jumper.
One of the popular products.
Actually, the Hokusai Wave was on the front cover
of the conductor score of the very first official score of La Mer
- that they premiered with. - That's right.
Anyway, today we're going to be rating and reacting to
some music-inspired fashion.
Ooh, okay. So first we have...
...a model with a decent looking bow hold.
Yeah. And the left hand is not too bad.
The wrist looks a little bit like...
...you know, she's resting on it, a bit cocked in.
And the middle finger looks a bit tense.
But anyway, that's not the point.
We're looking at the fashion.
But at least they got a model that looks like
she either learned the violin before,
or she spent a bit of time to know how to pose with it.
The violin colour's...
Obviously the violin itself can't be played.
- Mm-hmm. - Well, it won't sound good.
But it matches the outfit.
Yeah.
And I will also say–
maybe this is me kinda reading a bit more into it–
that headpiece kinda looks like a violin scroll, no?
- With the two pegs. - Yes.
- So you can tune. - So she's got an autotune up there.
I'm just kidding.
Nice! I like it.
- Interesting. - We gotta rate it.
It's not something I would wear.
Just trying to picture you in it.
Yes.
You should totally wear that.
I think you'd look sick.
I'm just gonna give it a...
Just to get started.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe the one before should have been higher, dude.
This is...
I need to see what is the music.
Can you see?
Not really, but it looks like piano music,
which, fair enough, 'cause there's piano on the dress.
- Yes, that's piano on the dress. - So at least they got that right.
Yeah.
I don't know. Do you think Schubert? Schumann?
- I don't know. It's hard to say. - Beethoven? Yeah.
The dress though. What do you think of the dress, Brett?
It's really hard to kinda put piano keys on a dress
and make it look nice.
- Yeah, I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it. - Like, I feel like the piano keys around the waist
squished together too much with the form.
I just feel like the colours,
the way they just kind of slapped the keyboard on,
it's not something that feels like a musician would feel.
The score, it's slapped on the head. It just seems...
- No, I hate the score. I hate the score. - It's too...
It's too detached from the dress, in my opinion.
- Felt like they were just forcing a score on for the sake of it. - Yeah.
- It doesn't come together. - Yes.
Now, what does come together
- is the manuscript shirt from TwoSet Apparel. - That's right.
Yes. That one where all the pieces for violin music
are arranged to make a beautiful, ready-to-wear look.
Exactly.
I rate this one like a...
I'd say like...
Next.
I mean that's not where the violin should be.
You know what? I don't hate it though.
I like the suit, I was gonna say.
Like, the f-hole's there, it's pretty cool.
- I like that the f-holes are pockets, - Pockets.
- Yes, that's really cool. - and that oversize–
like the inside of a varsity jacket kind of stitching.
That's cool.
I like the colours.
I definitely think the colours
are used a lot better than the other one.
It's just a little bit...
Tacky.
Borderline tacky, this bit.
- Yeah. - I think maybe if they found a way to be a bit more...
- I actually prefer the pink outfit than the black. - subtle with that...
I was gonna say, and also, something about this pink,
the way it's reflecting a light,
the violin looks more expensive.
The white one looks really cheap.
Yeah, and I think it's also 'cause one of them...
Two of them look different sizes.
- Yeah. - You can't– It's...
Is it a violin or viola?
Are you trying to go for like a realistic side?
Or is it just a fashion statement?
I'm with the pink one. I'd say, for me...
Yeah, I'll go seven, actually. I don't mind it.
Imagine we just go up to a party dressed like that.
Brett: It's pretty cool.
- Eddy: You'd be like Willy Wonka. - Brett: Yeah, let's do it.
I don't mind it, actually.
Personally.
It grew on me, the more I looked at it.
Yeah?
It took a while. At first, I was like, "whoa!"
But I like how the curves fit the human body.
- Complements the shape. The silhouette. - It complements the shape of the...
The keys...I mean, obviously the 3-2-3 is correct,
but they abstracted it in a way so it's not like...
- The dress before was literally like... - It's so literally...
The shape, by the way is kind of like the shape you have
- when there's double bar lines on the end, - Mm-hmm.
for those that don't know.
Nice.
Valentino Spring 2014 Couture.
Whoa.
I hate that.
I hate it. A lot.
It seems like such a lazy concept.
Looks like those wish.com...
I could see this being on like AliExpress.
Yeah, I don't like the dress.
I can see the feel they're trying to go for.
Butterflies, owls coming out, whatever,
but the music score's too hard.
It's like, it's just too rigid at the moment with this type of setting.
I give it a...
Actually, what did I give this one?
- No, you gave it a two. - Nah, I change this to a two.
- Okay. - I prefer the dress to that.
Gucci Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear.
It's very Gucci.
What can I say?
I appreciate like the design is going for a bit more like...
- Fun, "ironic", that's the buzzword. - Fun, iro– Yeah.
- Ironic. - Yeah.
You know what? I do like the lining.
I'm not a fan of the colours though.
- It's a bit loud for me, personally. - Yeah.
It's a bit too random.
What's the point of two quavers there?
Five for me.
Moschino!
Yeah, I've seen this.
I think this show was pretty iconic.
There was a lot of music-related stuff.
I can see it looks a bit tacky,
but in context of the show, I actually really like it.
I don't like the dress though. I like the music score.
- Yeah, the style of the music score. - The style of the music score is cool.
It really just seems like the Yves Saint Laurent one though,
the style, right?
- Yeah, it does. Yeah. - That kind of...
...crayon-like style.
Although I like the thing on the right arm.
That's more impressive for me.
- Her left arm or her right arm? - Her left arm. Sorry, her left arm.
It's like a chin rest.
Yeah, it's a chin rest.
- It creates this nice balance even though it's asymmetrical. - Yeah.
They're coming out from a painting.
- Yeah. - So it's like the idea that they're like artworks.
Okay, that's cool.
So I like the idea of the show,
but yes, arguably, the dress by itself is a bit...
Another Moschino one.
Ah, the violin golden handbag.
You know, I like it. I think it's cute.
But now that I look at it up close,
- those strings piss me off. - Yeah, they're just way...
I would get so annoyed.
I'd almost rather it without the strings or something.
Or like more just on the violin itself.
Yeah, if they could keep the violin strings
not tangled up like that.
I like the effort behind it.
I think the bag itself, I'd give like a 8.5.
The dress...
Oh, I didn't even look at the dress.
It reminds me of like Bach counterpoint, old-school manuscript.
I think the dress for me is like a six.
I don't like the tulip shape.
But the violin bag, I give it an eight.
Nice.
Ah, so this one's a guitar.
It's alright for me.
Maybe 'cause I don't play guitar.
You know, that thing at the bottom is very interesting.
Without it,
it would feel very like...no weight.
But that gives it a kind of weight.
It grounds it, which I like.
I like that it's got a more kinda of...
deconstructed feeling as well.
It's not an actual literal guitar.
And the colours are pretty good too.
...for me.
Same.
Another Moschino.
The golden violin or cello.
That's balanced really nicely.
- Sacrilegious boy's punching the air right now. - Yeah.
- Yeah, I know. - He's like, "give it to me. Credit card."
I kind of like it.
I like that the middle thing is kind of
- where the strings or the fingerboard might appear. - It feels a bit like a bumblebee though.
It's like the bee shape.
Yeah.
I don't mind it.
- I prefer the others a bit more. - I like the guitar better though.
It's got a very unique contrast between loud but also reserved...
with the gold.
I like the golden neck thing as well.
What would you rate it?
Six?
I think I'd give it a...
Yeah.
It looks like our green notation jumper, except ours is better.
I think the notes are just too big.
I wonder how much Paul Smith actually knows about music.
What was the intention behind this?
Did they actually have any affinity to it?
But it's not bad, like...
Something wearable I guess.
Wow, Moschino really did just take it from Yves Saint Laurent.
Oh wow, I thought that Moschino walk was like super innovative,
- Nah. - but nah.
YSL's like, "we did it in 1988."
Wow.
The doves are a bit like intense in terms of like, you wouldn't wear it.
- But as an artwork piece, I like it. - Yes.
It's kinda like music and peace.
Yeah. It's got this innocent vibe to it, right?
The drawing as well.
Yeah, it's like imagination.
And the dress is also quite reserved and elegant behind it.
- Yes, I like the blue... - The contrast. The dark navy...
Nice.
Another YSL 1988. I'm liking this YSL 1988.
Bach aria.
And we have like a guitar or mandolin.
And just some mysterious shapes.
Reminds me of like a metronome.
I like it.
- Yeah. - I like the texture, the shine.
It's something I would wear as well. Imagine you're like...
Yeah, I would wear it.
...on a concert. On stage.
- That's so cool. Nice. - Nice style.
Dolce Gabbana. I like that. That's good.
Oh, that's so smart!
I like it.
Oh, we stopped rating.
You kind of stab it. I think YSL is up there.
I actually like this too.
I like that. That's like a 9.5 for me.
- It's very cute. And it fits the rest of the look. - Yeah. Nine for me.
It's up there.
That's clever.
It's like if you know the instrument, it makes sense.
But if you don't know the instrument, it still looks nice.
I'm not a big fan of that. That looks terrible, sorry.
Yeah, not a fan.
Dude, there's six tuning pegs. They f***ed it.
Yeah.
Even if it's a guitar, there's too many strings for a guitar.
Yeah, like a one out of ten for me.
Hiroko Koshino.
Ooh, I love this.
This is really cool.
How do you even do that? How do you even make that?
It's got that deconstructed feeling, kinda futuristic...
modern contemporary art feeling.
I wouldn't wear it, but I don't think these are meant to be worn.
Yeah, they're just to flex.
Flex what they can do.
I like it.
I mean...
I don't know.
It could be worse, but I'm not impressed.
Even the model's not impressed. She's like...
She's like, "why do I get to wear this one? Excuse me."
Yeah.
I'd say like three out of ten for me.
Dude, this one is decked out in music.
Piano and drums, and trumpets, and...
It's kinda got like violin f-holes but connected.
Colours are kinda cool though. I like the colours.
Trying to make sense of it.
- I like it. - I'm pretty neutral on it though.
It's like six out of ten for me.
- Everyone's using the violin f-holes as a motif. - I know.
- We should make a TwoSet Apparel with violin f-holes. - Yeah, let's do it.
You guys like that? We'll do something with TwoSet Apparel.
Comment in the section below.
- What? - Dude, is that legit a violin?
Whoa.
Nah, that's sacrilegious, man.
Whoa.
Sacrile–
That's like putting a corpse on you.
You just killed a violin.
You killed violin-chan,
and you decimate its front plate, and you put it on your body.
Why does she look like she's from Assassin's Creed?
'Cause she got a violin like...armour?
Is that armour or something?
I feel like that violin could have been used
to make a real instrument.
I don't know, it looks a bit distasteful for me personally.
...for me.
Yeah.
There you go. What do you guys think?
Let us know which ones you like, which ones you didn't.
And if you'd like to see TwoSet Apparel
try to do some of these things...
We're always trying to challenge ourselves
to make cooler and better things.
- Yep. - So...
Thank you so much for the support.
We would love to do things like this too.
- Bye bye. - Bye.
