Regency necklaces, clothing and furniture, the post-premiere chess demand for The Queen's Gambit, and the sexy men's jewelry from Normal People: How 2020 TV Series Influenced Fashion.

The first season of Netflix's historical drama Bridgerton came out in late December and was an instant hit. According to the stream service, 63 million viewers watched the series in the first 28 days. In January, Netflix officially renewed the costume drama for a second season. The main characters of the series are eight friendly brothers and sisters from the influential Bridgerton family who are trying to find love.

On the screen, the romantic challenges of Regency London's high society are complemented by sparkling ornaments, sumptuous costumes and antique furniture. Popular projects have long been known for their ability to shape trends, and the Bridgertons are no exception. Film fashion historian Anna Bashtova explained to Gazeta.Ru why TV shows influence viewers much more than films.

“There is a big difference between getting people involved in a TV show and in a movie. Because it's one thing - it's a two-hour product, where you dived, surfaced and went on with your life, and another thing - when you watch a series. It's like reading a book: you get involved, the characters become familiar and dear to you, you feel a sense of involvement with them. And at this moment the need arises to acquire something that will make you a part of this world, ”said Bashtova.

She cited as an example the series "Peaky Blinders", whose heroes are imitated by young people around the world.

“When the first season was bombed, first in the UK and then around the world, boys began to get their hair cut and dress like the main characters of the series. This does not mean that they wanted to rob and kill someone: they just liked the aesthetics of the series so much that they wanted to be involved. For example, the leading actor, Cillian Murphy, said that he did not understand how you can voluntarily get a haircut like that - shave your whiskey, - said the historian of the film fashion. - But at the same time, a ton of fans did so after him. The creator of the series, Stephen Knight, is not a fool, and he founded a brand of exactly the same clothes that the heroes of "Peaky Blinders" wear. The brand sells well. " She also mentioned the iconic Manolo Blahnik shoes from Sex and the City and the Molly Goddard dress worn by Villanelle from Killing Eve.

“Girls began to actively buy Manolo Blahnik for themselves, not because it is the best shoe in the world with the most comfortable last and heel, but to become a part of Carrie Bradshaw's world. It's just a desire to touch and taste what you have been shown, ”added Bashtova.

In the face of the pandemic, viewer engagement in TV shows was particularly high. Let's talk about how the popular TV series of 2020 generated demand for certain goods and services.

"Bridgerton"

The costume drama sparked a surge in the sale of high-end jewelry, clothing, and furniture in the early 1800s. Anthony Barzilai Fraind, art director of 1stDibs luxury store, told The Hollywood Reporter about this.

“The success of the Bridgerton is likely to be the reason for the skyrocketing sales of 18th and 19th century furniture, Regency jewelery and even vintage high-waisted garments with puffed sleeves,” Freind said. “We are always amazed at how a popular film or television series can generate interest in a style, era or activity and have a significant impact on sales.”

The site features items from the Regency era dating back to 1815. For example, there you can find a gold necklace with sardonyx cameos worth $ 36,000, a ring from 1815 with a pink sapphire for $ 8,700 and chandelier earrings made of antique gold and turquoise for $ 6,500.

"Normal people"

The Irish drama series Normal People, based on Sally Rooney's novel of the same name, drew the attention of viewers to men's jewelry.

"Emily in Paris"

The series about an American woman who went to work in Paris has been criticized for its stereotypical view of French fashion. Nevertheless, many people liked the wardrobe of Lily Collins' heroine. Since the release of Emily in Paris, searches for Kangol panama hats soared 342%, red berets 100%, Marc Jacobs Jelly Snapshot bags 92% and Aldo bags 64%. In two days after the premiere of the series, searches for the Ganni skirt increased by 289%.
