    She actually wears her clothes and has a great sense of what suits her, the muted colours along with a splash of fun. The bag collection is not showy or untouched. She actually uses them. Yes to buying vintage and auction. She knows the importance of buying classic pieces like the black chanel tweed jacket which will never age. It was her best item. I'm surprisingly impressed.

      I think Mel buys what she likes. That's her prerogative, but she lacks structure. Her closet screams fomo not personality or style. She is a woman who clearly loves things. That's fine. This is a fun peek into her closet and nothing to get defensive about.

    I love that she buys thrifted, vintage, preloved. Not everything needs to be brand new to be loved and so many of these couture branded goods have so much life left in them if they’ve been well taken care of. Exotic animal and fur goods especially. These days, there is zero need to keep using it and harming those animals but preloved, vintage, thrifted, these animals have been dead a long while now and it’s better for someone to buy secondhand and give it a new lease of life, the appreciation and love it deserves, rather than it be cast aside and sent to landfill.
    Love your commentary and analysis as always Luke, you always bring the knowledge with an extra dash of sass! ❤️

      I completely agree with you. Giving new life to old fur/exotic skin pieces is a great way for the animal to not have died in vain.

    I think this closet shows really well what the average closet of luxury buyers looks like. Mel isn’t really a celebrity or high fashion influencer. I think a lot of people can relate with the items she has in her closet!

    • @narsis273
      @narsis273 2 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      True that. Many rich people and normal luxury buyers are just into buying minimal, classic luxury bags and shoes and more relatable, practical and classic they are the more high class they sound to the buyers as I see normal people find many fashion forward stuff looking silly!

    I liked the fact that on the first jacket she pulled out one of the pocket buttons was undone, which implied to me that she actually wears it, and had put something in the pocket and never rebuttoned it. I appreciate that! Seems like so many of these tours are just "I own this, and this, and this ..." and very few are "I wear this."

  • @marikotrue3488

    I know that it seems like conspicuous consumption, but I consider her a collector. She values her collection, properly stores things and knows the provenance. She gives off a vibe that does not shout "entitled" (maybe just a very very slight whisper 😉) . All things considered, at least from this video, I like her. Plus that scarf dress shows she is not afraid to look a bit...different.

    Excellent video!! I’ve always loved her view on handbags and every time she talks about one it just exudes appreciation for the items she collects, you can tell she is very passionate and buys things not to keep up with the Joneses or to intentionally signal wealth, but you can see it’s because she truly loves collecting them and sees their worth 🤩

    The cool things about Mel are first, that she’s knowledgeable and passes on information. Watch her Hermes videos to learn.
    And when she sees a deal, she passes on the information in a super timely manner. Plus she goes to the trouble to post links for watchers.

    I liked that she has a good knowledge base for what she owns and has some standout pieces and bags. But, there were so many shoe styles in a range of colors, which just seems like they’ll sit there collecting dust - ditto for some bags, SLGs, etc. I realize some of those items are investment pieces, though it’s always nice when people talk about wearing their things. The Hermes scarf “dress” was… creative, and some of the pieces she said she wears often seem too old for her. Lastly, and this isn’t specific to Mel, but I feel like Hermes has done a fantastic job of convincing to buy and buy and buy Birkins, and then talk about them like they’re so exceptional when the style’s really more practical than anything else (the price is not, but I do understand how much craftsmanship, etc, goes into them). There are so many beautiful bags out in the world that don’t have exclusive waiting lists and cost the equivalent of a year in college. Branch out! Support younger designers! They won’t devalue the rest of your collection, just make it a bit more diverse.

    Babes. I absolutely agree we need our fashionistas to pronounce fashion houses like Saint Laurent correctly. But can we also pronounce place names like Melbourne correctly - you used a very American way of saying it Mel-borne. In australia we have a much lazier affectation, Melbourne is pronounced Mel-burn or Mel-brne. The o is not pronounced or emphasised.

    As an Australian who lives in Melbourne, it's pronounced "Mel-ben". With your accent, you'd pronounce a hard "r" but ignore the "ou"! It's such a common faux-pas with Americans, the way you guys love a long drawn-out vowel. 🥴
    Also, the Givenchy bag is actually called Antigona like you first thought, not Antigony like the Greek tragedy!

      Get over yourself 🙄 would you criticize non-native English speakers for mispronouncing "Mel-ben"? I ask as a multilingual American of recent immigrant extraction.

      As a fashion blogger who constantly criticizes and corrects himself and others' pronunciations, even in this video (Saint Laurent, hello???), I would imagine he'd be thankful for anyone pulling him in line with pronunciations of foreign cities. At least Luke is an American who has some shred of self-awareness and sense of irony. 🙄

      Quit putting down Americans. Of course we mispronounce things just like you would in our country

      @@katemiller7874 Actually Kate, I do know how to pronounce many bizarrely spelt American names like Arkansas, because the US dominates all Western media channels and we don't have much of a choice but to absorb American culture! The thing that separates people like you from people like Luke and I, is that we embrace being corrected, and educated, so thank god I'm like Luke and not you; perpetuating the ignorant and hypersensitive stereotype Americans are renowned for. 🙄

    I appreciate this review of Mel’s closet. I used to subscribe to her YT channel because she seemed so knowledgeable about designers and had good tips for buying on the pre-loved market. But I got sick of all her stupid unboxings. She will buy items in store, bring them home, unwrap them, then re-wrap them to then unwrap a second time on camera and it’s very dramatic and drawn out. Whatever, I don’t have time for that and prefer a video that shows me the goods, not the packaging.
