And another lesson learned: truly fantastic quality clothes never go out of style. Every chanel and Ralph Lauren piece showed here could be worn today!!!!!
You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me
I don't think Ralph Lauren has ever considered himself a creative mastermind, but he must get his due credit for being the catalyst in creating lifestyle branding as he was the first to do it.
He ALSO can be given credit for a perceived attitude of calm enjoyment about his work - he has a gift for not seeming on edge, uptight, tortured... maybe he really isn't?😘
he was not the first in a coat inspired from mens to women..It was yves saint laurent. Saint Laurent’s 1962 fashion show opened with the pea coat, which was the first piece he presented under his own name. The model wore it with white shantung pants and mules. This ensemble paved the way for Yves Saint Laurent’s signature style, which borrowed from menswear in order to make women feel comfortable and confident. The couturier would continue to offer variations on the navy look, notably with the sailor sweater and the paletot in his 1966 collection.
14:21 "The original one that Coco Chanel designed" - Wrong. The model she is showing is the Classic Flap that Karl Lagerfeld designed. The original is called the 2.55 (February 1955 was when she designed it) and it has a rectangular lock (the "Mademioselle lock") and flat chain. It's basic knowledge that every person working in Chanel has, so I'm surprised she made that mistake.
im not-- sales clerk-- overworked and underpaid-- i had to laugh when she said $685.00 pounds for the classic handbag... what year was this taped??? 1960
Back in the 90s the reissue 2.55 known as the original chanel design of coco was not really in the market due that in the 80s and 90s was all about the logos and decadence in chanel designs and i guess it didn’t fit in for that market in those times and everyone thought it was the real chanel design. In 2005 i believe karl introduced the original design of the original coco chanel bag he found in the rue cambon archieves if i remember well and is known as the reissue 2.55 and that bag still in the market today. Also this was filmed on the early 90s you gotta remember 600 pounds was allot of money for that time but still chanel was less pricier than today the classics now are reaching $7000 because they are greedy and love to increase prices.
I'm enjoying the 80s fashion shows. The models have this sassy, devil may care strut and look to be enjoying the clothes. Today's models do a sullen stomp down the runway.
Economy very different ... In the early 1980s was living in Paris Left bank @ $10 a day ...$5 lodging per night small hotels rather nice, sweet, clean & atmospheric. Even subrented a furnished apt - near Metro stop Les Gobelins @ $30/ month (=200 Francs at the time )
Stussy is one of the pioneers of skate/streetwear fashion. They’re one of the first in the industry. The explosion of youth culture of early 90s paved this brand to thrive and evolve into a counter-culture consumerism that sadly today is now coined as “hypebeast”.
“People who buy the real stuff don’t buy the fake one and the people who buy the fake one don’t buy the real one.” Hmmm! I’m a little surprised. That is the first time I ever heard anyone, especially a designer of luxury goods, say that knockoffs don’t really cost the luxury companies money.

1. Yet another person who made his name worth m/billions by taking advantage of the insecurity of people with their self worth. 2. Now I know why there are always new fashion lines: to stay ahead of counterfeiters. This probably applies to other industries as well. Evil really results to more evil. Its a vicious cycle :)
Totally agree completely, he is not a designer at all. He is a plunderer. He paved the unfortunate, but lucrative, path for Hollister, and that ilk. The death of design. RIP.
I don't understand why anyone would want to come from an old money family. To me, it seems like they are under a lot of pressure to maintain some type of image or legacy. Yuck, I'd rather just be classy new money like Oprah. Heheheh. New money but still very intellectual and classy.
This is an older doco so I am not sure how big a brand name it is circa 2014, but I remember seeing it on high school kids in the mid/late 90s--it was everywhere then.
Oh study is still alive and kickin. Go to your local skateboard park and all the guys are either wearing it or can attest to having something a stussy in their closets
Lagerfeld's designs are very hit or miss ....and they miss quite a lot as far as taste and beauty is concerned. It's just as well there is an army of wealthy women in the world who'd pay top-dollar for a dog turd if it had a "CC" stuck on it.
Chanel - Baby lamb? Baby crocodile? Ripped from their mothers, murder and skinned to cover a handbag? Anyone who buys these monstrosities is ignorant, and as immoral and inhumane as the designers.
Please, lambskin is the best for leather goods. People have used animal hides for clothing since before the dawn of time. Take that crybaby crap outside.
i guess im ignorant cos i own at least 12 croc bags and love to have more.. these animals are killers.. no symphaty here.. i love animals but not gators and sharks.

Huh?🤔
I remember watching this series years ago and never realized how prolific it was !!!! Excellent!!!
wow. This is a huge inspiration and the excitement of it all is enough.
He went totally outside Shannel's phylosophy! He was just a businessman!
685 pounds in the 90s, but now, in 2020 the bag cost 5000 pounds. WOW.
The vintage ones in good condition are amazing, heavy chains, beautiful deep gold hardware, fantastic stitching. They put the new ones to shame.
Economy very different ...

3,000 for a Chanel suit? Maybe add 10,000 plus now. Having said that a Chanel, Dior, YSL suit is an investment, they're timeless.
an investment only if your body or lifestyle doesn't change &/or you have daughters who are interested in them.
Karl Lagerfeld👑😍❤️ fashion icon, legend, king😎 u will be always remembered 🌹
Really difficult to get his phenomenal 🎆Signature KL fragrance (for women) these days (2020s...)😭

Anyone else notice the James Bond theme from The Living Daylights playing during the Ralph Lauren segment? LOL
Yeah it's the instrumental version of that old A-Ha song

I can't stop thinking about the Simpsons episode with Marge's suit. 😂
Ralph's esthetic is like a curator of culture
Of his take on culture ..for sure! 🌹

before yves saint Laurent was coco chanel ..French not the American desinger
Now Hermês is the status symbol 👜
BRAVO !
600 pounds for a quilted Chanel flap bag then, today the same bag runs around 6,000 pounds! 😢
The gold gild rubs off of the authentic Chanel costume jewelry, equal to that of the cheap stuff
how would you summarize this documentary?
a document of the fashion industry in the late 20th century.
Do you have the first episode?
Chanel and Lagerfeld, but not a word a word about Dior ?
👍
5:34 💎💛💎💛💎💛 best scene.
It's like his spent his entire life trying to prove to the world that he has some kind of talent or style. Real style has nothing to do with the tackyness of fashion or Ralph Lauren.
I want to see clothing and fashion accessories with electronic ink
680pound for chanel double flap back then...

ralph is hardly considered a designer - in europe
Really? He's so huge in North America.
Maybe to idiots he's not considered a designer !
That's an interesting statement, especially since he has boutiques in Europe that sell beyond expectation.
Totally agree completely, he is not a designer at all. He is a plunderer. He paved the unfortunate, but lucrative, path for Hollister, and that ilk. The death of design. RIP.
@@TASconfidential MANY American expats in Europe...

That flap purse is now $2,000 or $4,000 .Some maybe Worth $20,000.
Dude is worth 7 billion dollars
The Beatles were awarded MBEs for bringing in less income than that for their Queen!😉

JLD Reactions no
JLD: You gave a very 'New Money' response....
What a Chanel bag cost 700 pounds in the early 90's ?!?!?!? Ugh!!!
...and he became the griff of choice of Ghislaine Maxwell: lots of pics with his military blue jacket with the metal chains embellishment....

How come I've never heard of this Stussy guy?
This is an older doco so I am not sure how big a brand name it is circa 2014, but I remember seeing it on high school kids in the mid/late 90s--it was everywhere then.
Hmm... I went to school here in '98 and don't remember seeing it. Does he have a new brand today, do you know, or is it still called the same?
Oh study is still alive and kickin. Go to your local skateboard park and all the guys are either wearing it or can attest to having something a stussy in their closets
FirstName LastName supreme is the new stussy - same thing
this comment didn't age well
interesting that american think this is good taste in furniture and homing. for most continental european thastes i expect this is hideous.
Lagerfeld's designs are very hit or miss ....and they miss quite a lot as far as taste and beauty is concerned.
It's just as well there is an army of wealthy women in the world who'd pay top-dollar for a dog turd if it had a "CC" stuck on it.

I don't think I would like to look like that it looks like you are old in
Shut up Jessica
