Selecting Runway Outfits for my "Fashion Tarot Reading" video

 

In January 2026 I launched my Tarot / metaphysical YouTube channel called @Rosereddchannel

My favourite video to film so far was what I call "Work of Art Tarot" which has the viewer select a work of art out of 4 that I show onscreen, and receive tarot guidance associated with that art piece.

Last night I was realizing that it is a no brainer to replicate this reading with my first love: Fashion.

Concept: Show the viewer 4 runway outfits and receive an associated tarot reading.

So here I am selecting the outfits for the upcoming video. Join me.

To do this I was perusing my old blog posts here & found one dedicated to how much I adored A.F. Vandevorst's Spring 2018 collection. So I thought I'd revisit it in this video! Wheee!

Some options from this AMAZING collection are below.

 ^ I freakin' Love this one ahh ^

"The A.F. Vandevorst Spring 2018 (Couture) collection was designed by the brand's founders, Belgian designers An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx, as a retrospective celebrating their 20th anniversary, featuring archival pieces styled with modern touches and a special capsule collaboration with stylist B. Åkerlund"

The whole thing is quite Margiela + Viviene Westwood + Gaultier, no?

(3 of my favourite houses)

I want to choose looks that could represent an Archetype to the collective brain, 

i.e. the Trickster, the Wise person, the Seductress / Goddess, 

Outlaw / Outcast, Hero, Villain, Guardian / Nurse / Mother, Artist, Child

++++

🌹 My Selection from this A.F. Vandevorst 2018 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

She is a Business version of Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & I think will speak to a select crowd.

+++

The Next designer / fashion house on the roster is:

Vetements - Fall 2015

VETEMENTS launched in 2014 as a Swiss-French fashion house founded by Georgian fashion designers and brothers Demna and Guram Gvasalia. The brand experienced quick success, with Demna being hired to Balenciaga after only 3 collections. Since 2025, Demna is the creative director of Gucci. Prior to Gucci, for a decade he was creative director of Balenciaga.

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Vetements 2015 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

To me she looks like a Hero / Rebel combo, & I want one of these in each of my Fashion Tarot videos!

So we've got Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & Hero / Rebel archetypes covered.

Archetypes still to pick from: the Wise man/woman, the Goddess / Seductress, 

the Villain, Mother, & Child

++++

Next up we have:

Dries Van Noten - spring 2013

An ah-mazing designer. Glad I thought to include his work in the video.

*In March 2024, Van Noten announced his retirement from his namesake label after 38 years. 

His final collection was Menswear Spring/Summer 2025*

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Dries Van Noten 2013 collection to feature in my video is.....🌹 

To me this looks suits the Goddess / Mother archtype.

So we've got Nurse + Artist + Mime / Trickster & Hero / Rebel + Goddess / Mother archetypes.

Archetypes still to pick from: 

the Wise man/woman, the Villain, Mother, & Child

 One more to go...

++++

Next up we have:

Fendi - Fall 2012

Fendi in 2012 was designed by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, serving as Creative Director, 

with Silvia Venturini Fendi

++++

🌹 My Selection from this Fendi 2012 collection to feature in the video is.....🌹 

And I'll be using it as the Wise Woman / Sage archetype because she's a touch elven / spritely.

Thanks for joining me in the selection process & check out my channel if you're into tarot, dream analysis, or anything mystical, below. This fashion should be posted there in February 2026.

Updated Farmhouse Style ideas *2026*

 

Cathedral window in home, to be used sparingly as an accent window. I think these work best in Living rooms rather than kitchens

(I am anti converting churches into homes, so this would be for a new build)

Chickenwire or mesh cabinet doors

Distressed oak dining chairs

Paned / old Window partitions

Bringing New aspects into this style!:

Plaid sofas 

(F&%k timeless)

this one is: Canora Grey's Creative Checkered Sofa (on Wayfair)

Chris Loves Julia - Wallace Chocolate Pouf

And deliberately "deconstructed" looking furniture vs. frayed:

Dundee Armchair on 1st Dibs

Restoration Hardware did a collection inspired by this very idea back in 2012:

The Deconstructed 19th c. English Wing Chair and matching French Napoleonic Ottoman in burlap from it are below:

above photos from Here

Something similar from now:

One Allium Way - Gracia Upholstered Barrel Chair in Hemp Linen

Distressed balustrades / pillars 

Martha Stewart - Ellen Striped Upholstered Ottoman

Tiled Bathtub

What I think is cool for this now:

- Starched / Beefed up Canvas dropcloth floor coverings (i.e. Not moving underfoot)

- Painted pale patterns on floors

from: Gorgeousshinythings blog

- Incorporating Glass material into this decor style

Tonin - Arturo Side Table

- Incorporating Lit / illuminated furniture mimicking the "glow" of the farmhouse versus the typical 'coolness' of the whitewashed modern farmhouse vibe

Ios End Table With Light

photo from Here

I think when you add slightly Modern elements to the Farmhouse space, it pushes the vibe farther away from Shabby chic or French Country, which is good for people who were once fans of those styles but have grown weary of their more extreme rustic, austere, or frilly details.

DEDON BABYLON LED Side Table

Choose between Monolite Ipergres® ceramic or a recyclable polyethylene layer that contains a warm LED light. Includes a white LED that is charged with an included 120V standard plug.

*I realize these are both intended for outdoors but who cares

There is also the Earthenware illuminated sculptures route:

Guy Bareff - Pair of Illuminated Side Tables, 2014

I could not resist including this story posted by the above sculptor about one of his pieces: 

"This piece changed my life, and it's quite a story! It was the first one I made, in '67, in plaster cast on wire mesh, as a Christmas gift for my wife. It was her reaction, and those of our friends, that inspired me to make others (in clay this time), which led to an exhibition in '69... and I haven't stopped since.

But, due to financial difficulties, it was sold during the exhibition, and it was hard to part with it.

Two years ago, 54 years later, it resurfaced at an antique shop in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and I bought it back and gave it to my ex-wife for her 80th birthday.

An old wound was healed..." Link to post

Bisque Traders - Mayangi Clay Wall Sconce

What I'm including now:

- Canvas dropcloth floor coverings (weighted)

- Painted pale patterns on floors

- Incorporating Glass material

- Incorporating illuminated furniture

- Earthenware illuminated sculptures 

What I'm leaving out:

- plates displayed on walls

- curtained vanities or kitchen cabinets

- large words or letters decor

- anything too aristocratic, like gilded anything or tufted things

- anything that pushes it over into Grandma Country or Pioneer, 

i.e. doilies / macrame, frilly curtains, any displayed tools, excessive wicker, floral anything.
