GRWM, Vlogs, Moodboards: Fashion is Filmed Behind the Scenes

This publication is also available in: Français English (UK) Deutsch Italiano Español

On TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, style is no longer read in the columns of a magazine; it is watched, listened to, and edited. The era of the static lookbook gives way to a more instinctive narration, driven by vertical-format videos — a blend of intimate confession and mastered artistic direction. At the intersection of lifestyle, editing, and wardrobe, new codes are emerging: GRWM, animated moodboards, Fashion Week vlogs. Fashion is no longer just lived on the runway; it is experienced behind the scenes, smartphone in hand.

Formats Born on Social Media, Now Fashion References

They initially seemed anecdotal, almost spontaneous. Yet, in just a few months, GRWM (“Get Ready With Me”) has become an unmissable event. More than just a filmed outfit choice, these formats tell a mood, a context, a gesture — a way of being in one’s clothes. They convey what photos cannot express: the temporality, the movement, the hesitations.

Fashion Week vlogs partake in this same immersive dynamic. Far from institutional content, they offer a personal perspective on the shows, backstage, the aisles of showrooms, or the streets of Milan. Content creators no longer just document an event; they interpret it through their own aesthetic.

As for the animated moodboards, their comeback is striking. Long relegated to paper format, they are now returning as carefully edited videos, mixing archival captures, film excerpts, editorial photos, and graphic elements. The result? An atmosphere, a vision, a universe.

Video, the Tool for Editing Personal Style

More than just a medium, video has become a tool for editing style. It allows for shaping an image, refining a statement, playing with temporality and textures. It is an extension of the wardrobe, almost a continuation of the mirror.

This democratization of audiovisual expression also relies on intuitive and accessible tools that no longer require advanced technical knowledge. Platforms like Clideo allow users to edit their videos, add sound, transitions, or subtitles, all directly online. In just a few clicks, a video becomes an editorialized object, ready to be shared on social media.

When the Backstage Becomes the True Runway

The public’s gaze has shifted. What is now expected from a content creator is no longer a single polished image but an immersion in their creative process: spontaneous fittings, everyday gestures, morning light on a messy closet. This apparent authenticity, often carefully orchestrated, becomes the true aesthetic signature of many fashion personalities.

Yet behind these “filterless” contents lies a precise editing process. Creators favor mobile applications to work on their videos efficiently and coherently. Clideo — Video Editor, for instance, offers a mobile solution suited to the current creative rhythms: smooth transitions, optimized vertical format, quick integration of visual elements.

Towards a New Grammar of Digital Chic

Transitions, color palettes, animated typography, subtle visual effects… A true grammar of digital chic has taken hold. It is not decreed; it is built. Through repeated viewing, inspiration, and editing. The way to film an outfit, stage it, choose the editing rhythm, or the tone of a voice-over becomes an essential component of style itself.

Today’s creators are no longer just stylists or influencers: they are also directors, editors, storytellers. Each video is a mini-narrative, an aesthetic manifesto, a manifesto of self. And in this new age of fashion, where movement takes precedence over the static image, filming becomes a form of elegance.
