War attire or power attire? Symbol of order or stylistic playground?

From Antiquity to TikTok, the military uniform has spanned eras, conflicts... and trends.

In this episode, we'll take a look at this iconic piece that shapes bodies as much as it shapes imaginations. Why does fashion love it so much? What does it say about our times? And what difference does wearing khaki make in 2025?

On the agenda:

• The history of the military uniform, from its ancient origins to its technological developments
• Legendary silhouettes and iconic outfits: from the British Redcoat to the camouflage jacket
• The designers who draw inspiration from them: Saint Laurent, Balmain, McQueen, Gaultier, Burberry, etc.
• The military in pop culture, cinema, revolts, and contemporary fashion
• “War core,” survivalist trends, and the mirror effect of conflicts on our style

And to go further, here is a little reading recommendation:
