- Gianni Versace was one of fashions greatest masterminds, and his knowledge of not only design but also culture, propelled him and his brand to a status many would only describe as legendary. But then add on top of that the fact that he helped cement the "Supermodel" in pop culture, along with the actual supermodels themselves, including Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Cindy Crawford, this Versace show was one of the most important!

i like how the old super models were older and look more mature and confident
Yes they were grown women not teenage girls
The super models were in their early 20s at the time of this Versace show. But they do look more mature, and happy. They were allowed to show personality.
Greg T true, plus models were allowed to be a bit more curvy and healthy back then and ofc the hair and makeup made them look more “alive” too, now designers want models to look lifeless so people would put more focus on the clothes but imo it just makes the shows more boring and less eye-catching
There is a great copy on YT of the supermodel documentary featuring Christy Turlington. Very interesting.
The "old supermodels" were the first. The Versace era/Freedom 90 era was the ending to their career. These ladies started when they were like 16, 17
Love the video! Gianni is pronounced without the first i, by the way. Like "Jahnni"
Finally Luke talking about the influence of Versace on fashion history I’m so happy
Vale😍
When I was younger it was the supers, especially Naomi who made me not only comfortable but beautiful in being a 6ft tall women of colour, love them always.
girl I hope you're modelling!!!
What about Tyra Banks
@GAgaV8 thats kind of...sad
GAgaV8 you’re beautiful no matter what
As another 6ft tall gal I know how you feel, seeing women like Naomi own their height helped me so much during my teenage years.
He really was genius. Many of these pieces are still worn today. And those sexy boot are so gorgeous!
you're so right! who knew the boots would be so timeless!
HauteLeMode I love your channel honey. Since you have such a huge influence I hope you don’t mind my political comment. I can’t take 4 more years of Trump and this Republican Administration. ❤️
I can't believe that something most of my generation called "hooker boots" are a classic now. It's fantastic that more & more ppl are not going w/societal "norms" regarding clothes & fashion.
And I absolutely agree that he was genius. I feel honored to have witnessed an artist of his caliber in my lifetime. And lucky enough to have just a few pieces from this era of Versace.
me watching hautelemode instead of studying for my tests

@@hautelemode lmao Versace >>>> Biology
Me too 😥
Studying fashion history >>>> my business studies
OMG ME TOO LOL
Honestly the whole collection makes me want to jump into the 90’s wear every single piece and be beautiful and ruthless and stuck up, all at once lol
Don' t forget dangerous!
This was an era I wish I could relive. I was a teen in the 90s, yes I'm older than dirt. But the fashion felt almost magical then. The super models were everywhere & you couldn't get enough of their walk & what show they'd be in next.
They honestly helped bring the clothes to life.
This is when I fell in love w/fashion & Gianni Versace💙
Coudge b and then George Michael released “I Want Your Sex” with it’s iconic videoclip and the world was a beautiful, exciting perfect place for 6 ½ minutes.. glorious. Glorious and gone.. 💜
I'm also in love with Gianni Versace.
He's my favorite fashion designer. 😘
Coudge b YAAAAASSS!!!!!!!!
Same to all of the above !❤️❤️❤️
I'm right there with you as well.
Watch how the models used to walk back then. They were smiling and having fun on the runway, compared to now, most models are Blank.
Exactly! I miss that.
I mean they have to be for the designers. lmao its not their fault
And that is not the fault of the models but designers hate when people bash on contemporary models as if they aren’t twice as starved and underpaid compared to the 90s since Instagram and celeb models have made modeling as a career obsolete unless u are already a celebrity
They have curves too! Amazing.
Thank you for finally doing your research on the brand. I've been studying Versace history for the last 2 years, and it really upsets me every time you call the brand "tacky" in a negative way. It is MEANT to be tacky. Gianni wanted to redefine fashion and glamour. He doesn't believe in being boring. Fashion to him was supposed to be exciting, happy, unpretentious, so he incorporated all aspects of his life into his designs explicitly. Gianni Versace really changed fashion.
A lot of "fashion experts" sometimes confuse tacky with sexy tbh. Lol they need to understand that not everybody wants to look like a weird bored-depressed androgynous
Yes but there are principles of design, something that the human eye is drawn to such as rules of third, leading lines, use of space etc. You can redefine fashion, but you can’t control or change the public’s taste that easily.
.... millenials 😤😤
lol tacky is tacky there’s nothing in between it. im sure he knows that unusual and over the top creations don’t equate tacky. if he says its tacky, then its tacky.
@@seventeenrighthere3085 says a clueless subscriber who believes he/she is a fashion expert because hautelemode thinks so
Linda, Christy, Cindy, Claudi, Naomi, Carla, Yasmeen, Helena, Stehpanie, Karen, Tatjana, Kate, Niki, Brandi, Veronica, Elaine, Shalom, Amber, Megan & Najda every show these were the top models.
You forgot Karen Mulder
No- Karen was name checked! The originals-I LIVED for these girls!
@@happylindsay4475 I love them all so much. 😍
after Stephanie on the list 😊
Right! And we took it for granted. Today, if just TWO of those names close a show-which they did not even walk in-with the designer (I’m thinking Kate and Naomi with Kim Jones, in this case), it’s pretty awesome. If we get a moment like that reunion at the end of the Versace show for Gianni, we break the internet. This thanks to what we’ve had to learn to deal with...
18:14 that's Marlon Brando not James Dean
On another note I loved those crystalized tops and jackets and the wool suits. I had no idea Versace had this much range.
He could do alot of different types of fashion that's why he had so many different fashion lines.
Ramona Flowers Marlon Brando? James Dean? On the cover of a magazine 💃🏻

@@Rorschach9674 Marlon Brando is the actor leaning against the motorcycle.
I can’t believe he didn’t even say Yasmeen Ghauri
Well Ghauri has made the choice to stay away from the public, and she only was part of the industry for only a limited time. Yes she did contribute but the girls in the video were the main Versace girls, who continued in the industry. It may just be out of respect for her privacy. Also not a lot of people know of Ghauri because of her short fame. It’s really sad because she was so beautiful and her walk was unreal.
Ghauri gave us the walk of life😍 5:57 13:11 19:38 24:47
24:47
Her WALK... Pure perfection
24:47 but i got your point she was a supermodel too
It's amazing how ALL of the outfits in this show look stunning, thought through, complete and most of all still wearable. In comparison to that, the runway looks of today look mismatched and illfitted most of the time.
i did my thesis about gianni as a modern dionysus connecting his life to the myth about medusa and incorporating it in the versace's logo. I got the best note :)
My knowledge on mythology isn't that great so can you explain how all of that connects to Versace 😂
I would love to read that!
That sounds super interesting...maybe you should do a video about it...even if it could be reading video if you don't wanna show your face!😉
Note? What do you mean?
Is there any chance to read it?
I love these look back history lessons. You bring me back to the 90's when I bought all the fashion magazines every month.Your videos could be a documentary series for anyone, from those studying fashion to those just like to look.
It was all about the magazines. Also, 'Behind the Velvet Ropes' on TV!
Kaia looks so much like her mum it is actually insane! Imagine being that genetically blessed smh
It's 2019, THE LAST YEAR OF THE DECADE!! Be a part of Mariah Carey having 3 decades in a row with a number one hit! If there ever was a time to show Mariah Carey that you are appreciative of her music, NOW is that time! "All I Want for Christmas Is You"! Do it for the holiday treats!!!

That random Casey Anthony shade made me bark out the ugliest laugh I have ever made.
"The guitar that looks like a strap"
Umm, thats a violin, but ok
actually i feel that it's a cello cus there's no chin rest
i feel like he intended for it to be a violin but there’s no chin rest... but also no way he made that mistake? so maybe a cello?
@@aleeeeeeexoxo yeh i get what you mean, in imagery like that a lot you see violins a lot more than cellos so it is definitely strange. Although the placing of it is almost kind of how you hold a cello so perhaps?
@@vilutti ooh that's possible - man you learn something new every day :) Old instruments are fascinating huh.
chin rests are usually separate from the violin, and you have buy one for your violin. at least that was the case when i was having lessons. they probably just didn’t get a chin rest for whatever reason idk
2:02 I'm scared by Donatella looking so much like Gaga there.
it’s kind of creepy isn’t it????
You mean Gaga looking like Donatella. The order is important, Donatella inspired and inspires Gaga and others.
They’re v similar looking and they’re both Italian
Lady Gaga was actually supposed to play Donatella in the Versace tv show.
It would have been perfect casting.
@@Firespawnable I don't think she would have done the accent properly. Penelope was spot on!
18:03 - babe that’s not James, that’s Marlon Brando 😱❤️ love your work btw
1995 Thierry Mugler fashion show! Also, shot out to jasmine Ghauri. She ate all the other girls up on the runway minus ms Naomi. Too bad she suddenly gave up on her career
RIP to the great mind Gianni Versace, a designer truly ahead of his time.
A couple of things you got wrong: You mixed up Cindy and Claudia with looks 3 and 4. Christy's first look was a princess or "fit and flare" dress, not a babydoll (the babydoll is the one that has the empire waist and full frilly skirt that makes anybody with a bust look pregnant. The dresses worn during that lip synching bit were babydolls). You actually correctly identified the same shape in the ready to wear portion. And the guy in the Wild One was Marlon Brando, not James Dean. But I'm being nitpicky. This was a real trip down memory lane for me. I was probably about your age when this collection came out. I'd forgotten how much I loved it. I always thought Versace took what Christian Lacroix started in the 80s and made it more accessible with the deliberate use of overtly sexy elements. Lacroix's excess skewed old compared to Versace's.
You are right!!
Pauline Triage, spot on!!! 😉
4:33 thats Cindy Crawford not Claudia Schiffer
He swapped their names. Claudia came next.
I know, he got a few names wrong in this
He mixed them up TWICE 😊
Christy, Linda and Naomi will always be supermodels, unlike the modern breed which are just tall skinny rich girls with a bunch of insta followers
@Lenny P yasmeen ghauri too was apart of the super models she just didn't want as much publicity as the other super models
& fillers.
Wow, these walks used to be so sophisticated and magnetic
Meanwhile Kendall Jenner's walk be like:

💪👗🤙

The only one who I think looks like a 90's model is Bella Hadid and even she falls short in terms of the confidence. I think nepotism spoils that unique type of "started from the bottom" confidence.
Michelle Foucault there are other models who are starting from “the bottom” and they don’t have great walks. But you won’t know or discuss that because they don’t have fame. Plus fashion houses actually tell the model’s what type of walk to do to portray their collection. And the current instruction is a very un-emotive walk to put focus on the clothes and not the models
@@MichelleRedSoul bella only looks like a 90s model because she had tons of surgery to look like one (Carla Bruni). and bella is a horrible model
@@TA12002 She had a nose job and botox and that is the standard for nepotism models.
@@suleb1 Why would I pay attention to them if they don't have great walks. I think my favourite walker today is Karlie Kloss.
Luke, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Thierry Mugler's legendary 1995 A/W Cirque d'Hiver collection.
"Now we're pro sex worker, so if you're not, then unsubscribe." I love you Luke.😂
I loved Versace so much and actually visited the Paris atelier in 1991. I floated in there moon eyed, wondrous and unlike any of the other houses i visited the staff were polite and spoke to me. They offered me the both the men's and women's catalogs of that collection and i still cherish them. Hands down my favorite collection ever. My mom took a photo of me after walking out for because i cried - with joy. When Gianni was murdered i was at work and this Indiana girl sobbed. My coworkers were not sure what to do but allowed this art girl super fan to have some peace and grieve.
Thank you for this video. I embodies a love for wanting to be one of the girls on that runway, my love for Gianni and my favorite memory of my first and only trip to Paris. 💟
Imagine if he reacted to the pretty little thing fashion show.
BTW IT WAS AN ATROCITY
Ok someone needs to make a movie about the supermodels of the 90s! I would love to play Naomi...if I was 5”10 😭
There's a documentary with all the 90s supermodels just go on TH-cam and type in Catwalk Documentary.
All the 90s designers and Versace is also in it too. 👍
as a sex worker thank you for your support I mean I know that I'm look down on Often by Society but I do pray for the day I won't be
Wtf, ur job is valid, dont ever feel invalidated or bad about having a job in that field when theres people being trafficked.
They just don't make em like that anymore Luke. Sigh
8:05 can we talk about this Naomi look? Todays models could never!
Sofia c you speak the truth. Now their runway walk are just not it. Yasmeen ghauri walk is also so good you should check her out
These models WALKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The girls today could never
That was Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" not James Dean!
girl that isn’t james dean, that’s marlon brando
Okay...I am aging myself here but I have to say that Versace inspired my whole wardrobe during my high school and college years. Imagine me stomping the floors of the hallways in my thigh high boots and gold gangling belts with dripping coins and gems letting everybody know I was coming. I loved this video and your channel is my "go to" these days. Keep it up!! By the way...Tatina was in Freedom. I only know this because my friends and I used to re-enact this video every time MTV played it. We were "obsessed", to say the least. lol
I'm so glad to hear this. I was bummed to hear they left her out. It's like WHY????
"you'll realize that Gianni does not give a singular.... fedoodle."
Yep those were the best of times. I worked in the Financial sector so in day time I did the black elegant suits, but when Friday happened it was, more is more. I remember a John Richmond leather Jacket with “destroy”emblazoned across each sleeve. George Michael was best buddies with Lisa Stansfield, who had a classic hit “All around the world”. There were only two Destroy jackets, she had the other and auctioned it for charity. I spent the next decade explaining that I had not won it (ironically I met both George and Lisa at the opening of the Versace Storein London” both gorgeous people. I did express my distress over the Destroy jacket. She grinned and apologised. Anarchy and over the top was what Versace gave us. For me Evangelista was the greatest of them all. I too loved to change it up often with red, white blue, and blonde hair. My father survived me but only just. I kept all those pieces and the finally they went to my daughter, who like her mother loved over the top. She looked fantastic. Better than I ever did. But I am biased. It’s allowed. I am mature now but my natural long wavy black hair has blonde and ash brown highlights thro it and I still pull out the over the knee boots now and then. Never stop loving fashion it is where you find your soul. X
Loved your story. Thanks for sharing. Linda was my favorite as well until Kate came along.
Amazing memories and thank you for sharing!!❤️💚❤️💚
I’m a very simple person, when someone starts talking about baroque/rococo, I pay attention.
Luke, thank you for making this video. Gianni Versace is my favorite fashion designer. His designs were so creative, bold, glamourous, and sexy.
His diversity, his positivity, his love for women, and his passion for fashion is so inspiring.
He really was ahead of his time.
😍😍😍😍😍
This is the content I subscribed for, knowledgeable and fun. The best fashion youtuber.
Me, watching this while eating my microwaved leftovers: ( ◞ ‸ ◟ )
FYI, that was Marlon Brando, not James Dean. Tatiana was also in Freedom 90 video. I remember this collection and wished I could have affforded the crystal jackets.
Linda is out of this world. So much beauty is evidence of God's creation
1:55 "Gianni Versace grrrrrew up" lmao I LIVE for that accent
Have you done a video on Princess Diana?
Yaaasss! Some of her looks haven’t aged well, but growing up she was IT for me. (I too am older than dirt! Lol) There was a photo of her pregnant in a stunning gown having fallen asleep at the opera - F**king ICONIC.
The art history ho in me is always ready for a HauteleMode fashion history video
the way every single look is still wearable today. not a single misstep. serve after serve. we must stan.
Tatjana Patitz was also featured in the "Freedom 90" music video. She has curly blonde hair in the video.
Tatjana Patitz was also originally supposed to walk the runway with the other 4 girls but she couldn't make it.
Gianni probably was pissed about that since he wanted all the models from the video.
So it's funny that what is now seen as an iconic moment is actually not 100% perfect in his eyes.
@@Firespawnable Wow I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
this video truly showed me that we’re starved with actual creativity nowadays
once you said "gossip girl had questionable style choices" or something... what about you review some of the show's fashion???
I stan Versace, not Versacci.
I live for Linda Evangilista.
"the guitar on the strap"
me, a violinist: 😳🙅
The way you mixed up Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer...
These constant uploads 👏👏
DiscClub6 december youtube
I would like you to do a comparison of the Versace Supermodels, The Victoria Secrets Angels and the current wave of new models (Gigi, Bella, Kendall, Cara Delevingne etc.)
It's be interesting to see how models have become more mainstream nowadays
Cant imagine how long this took to research and write, bravo Luke
Omg, is it me or people were much more attractive in the past?!?! These are some of the only runaway looks I'd ever buy 😍 gorgeous!
That's funny that you say that. I think people are generally much more attractive now. These models are some of the most beautiful people in the world, though.
@@cocoknows Well, maybe I don't have a fair comparison looking at myself everyday, but from movies magazines and pictures of the early to mid 1900s people seem much more attractive to me!
I just love how he says “Veeeersace” 👏🏾😂
moividrih it’s a little obnoxious
@@nonyabusiness3859 it's the proper pronunciation
A. L. Up until this year...lol
A. L. He’s American...
Well if you don’t know, Yasmeen was the only woman who had attained supermodel status in such a short period of time hardly 3 years, getting yourself booked at Gianni Versace in your initial year of modelling and getting booked at chanel, hermes speaks for itself.
She had the most tremendous career growth rate. She was one of the muses for Gianni’s collection.
She saw zero in the big 5 that she aspired for, speaking from her interviews.
I mean at least she got her life together and is settled today and got what she wanted.
It’s sad people not accrediting her for her work and the path she paved for all the south east asian models with ethnic looks and defined deep-features.
Im so glad you found the light of Versace!!!
Cindy was the most money making Supermodel and voted the most favorite Supermodel of the 90s. Gianni Versace was a fashion genius . He was the best in his Prime
Fashion history videos are my fav from you!!!
Today's models are just missing THAT spark. Models then had fun and confidence when they walked, their facial expressions seduced you and they looked so natural when they moved. Nowadays models walk stiffly and usually settle for an ugly frown, trying to look cold while they're just ruining the experience their clothes could've get
Luke I just woke up from a depression nap for this.
Wtf you mean “depression” nap
Lilmama Johnson exactly what it sounds like
It's been 4 days...lets see if today I can face the world..
I was minding my business, enjoying the lesson in fashion history. Then you said "it's not the same for Casey Anthony" and my jaw dropped.
I love these history videos!! You made me actually appreciate Versace. I would really love to see video go in depth about haute couture and the rise of ready-to-wear.
Me : * running on 3 hours of sleep and 10 gallons of coffee each day for this past week *
HauteLeMode : * uploads a new video *
Me : * grabs a cup of coffee * "well, I guess it's not gonna be 3 hours today..."
Congrats, you just made me fall in love with vintage Versace. Ahead is a long night of coffee and research 👍🏾
Yasmeen slaying everyones lives.
You killed this, babe. ❤️
~From a 90’s kid.
Clearly his entire body of knowledge is invalid then! Like little kids with can openers, clearly if they can’t operate a gadget they’ve never seen they’re dumb and worthy of our pseudo elitist snark. Intelligence is definitely binary and anecdotal and narcissistically based solely on our own existing body of knowledge. Like a competitive game of Trivial Pursuit. With beers and bets and movie quotes and lots of pointing and laughing at people who miss a question.
Now that’s what I call smart.
🤦♀️
Very proud that my first designer bag is Versace ❤️
This has to be one of the best videos you've ever made thank you for the time and effort you put in keep this coming
Thank you for this! I have loved Gianni since I was a girl. He is an icon. I grew up watching the Supermodels. Those girls had "It" no offense to today's models but they don't even compare. Loved everything about this and just subscribed to your page. Great job covering the greatness that was Versace.
I adored that era - it was 'my' time and supermodels were fascinating. Im so glad i got to live through it as supermodels these days .... no im sorry, just no.

CHICK 🐥 OL FILET
25:00
Gianni: we will let this violin create the illusion of a strap
Luke: so this crystal monstrosity of a guitar
Great analysis of Versace (and I agree more styling power than fashion creativity). BTW. These models were "super" models before this runway show. George Michael cast them in his Freedom video for that very reason.
Gianni Versace was extremely creative and he created these supermodels. Even Naomi Campbell said she would not be half as known without Gianni Versace.
great video! love it, thank you! :) note: all 5 were in the Freedom video, also stunning Tatjana
Great video. I NEED those baroque print leggings. Question though.. Talking about supermodels, what about Janice Dickinson? She bills herself as the worlds first supermodel, is she faking it?
these vids are so well researched and presented!!
The way he pronounces Gianni gives me anxiety
This is wrong lol. What made them supermodels was Peter Lindbergh’s 1989 photoshoot. It was literally their supermodel birth certificate. After that, designers started to cast all five of them. The top 5 supermodels predated the 90s.
He stated this later on in the video if you watch the whole thing!
Lily Herrera But the video said they became “supermodels” right on the runway. Now it did amplify or solidified their title, but it did not make them supermodels. They were already supermodels before the Versace runway.
Thuoi Ly At about 20:30 he states that the runway show solidified their status as supermodels but that it all began with Peter Lindbergh’s photoshoot and talks about their subsequent booking of the George Michael shoot ☺️
Lily Herrera He should change the video title then. Lots of contradictions. 🤷🏽♂️
Wow there was a time when runway models didn't just stare straight ahead and look dead inside.
I can also see how the JoJo series were inspired by his Versace, iconic
I really appreciate that you sound so excited and passionate while talking about Versace even if you don’t like the clothes a lot 💛
These are like video essays and they're amazing. Making connections to Japanese designers, talking about older women. Amazing.
that's not James Dean.. Is Marlon Brando on the leather jacket with the motorcycle
We were all pro-sex worker dahling. That’s why we called them hooker boots :)
We might have been a bit backwards, social media-wise and politically, but the underground was loud, proud and often more inclusive and progressive than a lot of society today. 💜
Congratulations on your nomination 👌🏽
Wow this is beyond impressive. You woulda rocked my history of costume class. A+ for doing your research accurately! THIS is why I watch this channel, the research is clearly done and very accurate
THE CASEY ANTHONY SHADEEEE. I screamed out loud
Luke, can you do iconic movie fashion,or looks? That would be so interesting! From Easy Riders to Grease, Clockwork Orange,idk Sex and the City,Gone with the wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's,Fifth element to maybe even La la land?! There is so much there,it could be a series! And not just fashion movies like the Devil wears Prada, these other ones too! Please,it would be soooooo interesting!
LINDAAAAAAAA (in the intro) !!!! This one's gonna beee good;-)
This. This is the type of content I’d love to see from you. I started watching you when you reviewed fashion shows, but I wasn’t super into your “judging the red carpet” content
11:10 Luke says art pop instead of pop art. Gaga's impact
This is fabulous! As a young woman during the 1990s, I just thought that this was how it had always been. Lots to think about here!
Those clothes are still beautiful, for the most part. Definitely full of nostalgia for this Gen X-er who was in high school at the time of this show.
FYI, that was Marlon Brando, not James Dean. Tatiana was also in Freedom 90 video. I remember this collection and wished I could have affforded the crystal jackets.
