- Hey guys, I'm Diana, an art director at Bustle,
and this is Thrift the Legend.
I'm here at Buffalo Exchange.
Let's see who we have this week.
(dramatic techno music)
Billie Eilish.
We should call her Billie the maximalist.
Billie takes oversized to a whole new level.
Oversized on oversized.
(dramatic techno music)
Billie is so open about wanting people
to focus on her music instead of her body,
but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have fun
with what she wears.
Now that I see all these really crazy prints,
I think it's something that she would do.
I'm excited to try.
With a black lipstick?
Billie is so much fun to think about and talk about
as an art director because everything she wears
is, for the most part, art.
She takes things that seem really mundane
and makes them high fashion.
She takes high fashion and makes it street.
It's Billie.

When Billie Eilish first came on the scene
wearing oversized basketball shorts
with shirts that were clearly so big on her,
people were really confused.
Now, designers are hungry to add these things
to their collection.
She's really changing the way that we think about
fashion as an art form.
Billie also does the monochrome really well,
so I'm gonna let my eyes glaze over the racks,
and just find really crazy colors.
Oh my gosh, wow.
I think she wears colors that are considered feminine
really well, and she makes them edgy,
so a light pink, or a light green,
it's no longer masculine or feminine.
It's just cool.
I mean, cute or crazy?
This is weird, but I like it a lot.
I want this.
Can I buy this?
There are so many things about Billie's style
that you can access.
Having a personal style, moving through
different color waves, different patterns,
not needing to completely reinvent yourself,
I just love this.
It just makes me smile.
I love it with the track pants,
and it's got a hood, hmm.
Yeah, I love this so much,
and I think you can dress it up or down.
I'm obviously wearing a red lip.
Rings, pile a bunch of them on there.
You could dress it up, or you could be
super casual about it, put a baseball hat on.

Having a personal style, moving through
different color waves, different patterns,
Billie completely broke the mold
of what a typical pop star looks like.
Changing gender norms and size norms,
she almost has a uniform at this point,
but we're still so excited to see what she does next.
Designers are taking note
that this is what people are into.
What immediately comes to mind is how Chanel
took the Billie aesthetic and made a custom suit
for her for the Oscars.
Billie's style is all about just being true to yourself,
and being comfortable in your own skin,
so when I put this on, it just made me so happy.
I think that's what it's all about.
If you're trying to be inspired by Billie,
just go oversized.
Let me know who you want me to emulate next.
