Aesthetics like cottagecore, dark academia, goblin core, cabin core, cottagegore (dark cottagecore), fairycore, and more have exploded in popularity on tiktok, instagram, youtube, and facebook. These visually-driven subcultures can and have impacted and influenced how one dresses, the music you listen to, the books you read, and followers even identify with different ethos and lifestyle practices, like learning how to sew, cooking or baking, gardening, that are associated with different aesthetics.

But it's nothing that new, actually, in fact when you look at #aesthetics of 2020 and 2021 and Victorian Aestheticism, there are a lot of correlations and similarities that are fascinating to uncover - mostly because they don't seem to be intentional. at all. So, in this video, with the help of Dr. Robyne Calvert, Cultural Historian who is an expert in Victorian Aesethticism, we're going to dig into the similarities between Victorian Aestheticism and Neo-Aesethicism - from ethos, influences, their inherent "Englishness" and how this human desire to escape into a beautiful romantic world is nothing new.

And because aesthetics are so heavily invested in fashion, we're going to talk to the designer and co-founder of one of my favorite clothing lines, Voriagh, to ask her about why she designs aesthetic clothing, and how she came to be an aesthetic designer that is so beloved with cottagecore aesthetes.
