Thank you for recognizing my Culture. Greek women still wear this type of dresses mostly in summer during weddings and Orthodox baptisms. I found his comments very rude.
Agreed, honestly I don’t think the incredible promo video that they done for their collection should be discredited because it simply lacks diversity. I fell in love with it, the mood of it, the landscapes, it was all very stunning!
TheSpaceCollector Incredible video but 0 diversity. At a time where race is at the forefront, I am surprised that they were not more careful with this.
like!! we know maria grazia CAN make some really really gorgeous pieces (in my opinion, at least) but for every really nice piece she makes, theres, like, 10 vile repulsive ones
If she weren't able to, she would have been contracted for Dior nor Valentino, but at this point I wonder if they realized how Valentino went up after she left and Dior keeps sinking thanks to her.
Yep! As an artist myself, there's a weird sort of disconnect between the artist's concept and representation, and the real thing. In fact, i bet there are tons of looks that, on paper, looked absolutely gorgeous and stunning, but once made in real life, looked like.... well..... kinda awful. I wonder if those pieces theyve kept just because it would be too expensive and too much of a waste to get rid of them or scrap the idea altogether...
About Dior: actually the idea wasn’t inspired by Greek mithology... the video was made by Garrone, a famous Italian film director. If you see his work, everything is inspired by medieval fairytales, where aesthetics and costumes are crucial. So, the video is mostly inspired by modern European art (ex Pre-Raphaelite). Not a fan of Dior but this collaboration was really cool, and you can perceive Garrone’s presence everywhere!
So you know nothing about Greek mythology, is what you're saying. Because every single character in the video, is from Greek mythology. Every. Single. One. Having a Pre-Rapelite style of showing those characters, as Garrone does here, does not mean the characters are not from Greek myths. It's a very cool video, I agree. But even if Garrone himself said what you claim, I would tell him the same thing I've written to you.
Ac Cc my point is that the universe of Garrone is much more complex than that and it referenced mainly European fairytales. They are obviously based on Greek mithology partially but you have also to remember that they are also filtered by the medieval culture, and then the reinassence one. He also references the Pre-Raphaelite that reference the renaissance. I’m just saying that his work is complex and it’s not about portraying the Greek mithology. One of his movies is called the Tales of tales and it’s based on a 17th century Italian novel. So, this specific reference wasn’t made by Luke, who maybe didn’t made enough research, and in this way you loose the concept of the video and it’s beauty. Btw, this collaboration with Garrone was well accepted here in Italy because it’s easy to get the reference and everyone knows Garrone, maybe in the USA it’s harder because they don’t know him.
Alessandra Tulisso they could have at least gotten a black or asian model to play a mermaid or snail. If it was meant to be an accurate depiction of history or mythology then they wouldn’t be wearing haute couture. A brand that says it stands for feminism, equality or whatever can not use historical context as an excuse.
Wow, he gives me sass, he gives me hair, he gives me face, he gives me education, he gives me critiques, and most importantly, he doesn’t suck up to designers. This is why I trust his opinions
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the "dollhouse" idea from the Dior showcase reminded me of the 1945-6 doll fashion show, "Theatre de la Mode," that Christian Dior himself participated in. They used dolls due to post-war fabric shortage. I think it's interesting they did it again here, as it reminds how adversary can prompt (if sometimes dubious) creativity. Great video, as always!
The miniature clothing might be a nod to the miniature dolls that were used for the post world war II fashion show. Articles of interest episode 7 goes into it.
No one knows what a boggart looks like in its natural state; you only see it when it has transformed into a witch/wizard's worst fear. The clip Luke chose was a boggart taking on Harry's fear of a dementor.
Viktor & Rolf's was my favorite collection, it was imaginative and had some really playful pieces, although I agree we could definitely do without the emoji dress. The Transmotion dress though.. *gasp* stunning! Love the commentary Luke, you make excellent and well-explained points.
Have to say the Guo Pei looks with the elephant heads floored me, I'm in love! And thank you for commenting on her almost exclusive use of white models. They've been doing it for ages and it's baffling to me why they're hired when she's based in China and there are so many talented and gorgeous Chinese models they could cast. And this collection being inspired by African wildlife is beautiful but the casting of a white model just further drives home how everything about Africa in terms of nature and fashion is praised and adored but the people get no credit or love. I hope that her and her team see the backlash and harm this causes and make an effort to cast models of other races.
Hi Luke! I just wanted to point out that the art on the white Dior coat you talked about at 11:04 seems to be an "interpretation" of a style of indigenous art, specifically certain Ojibwe paintings I've seen. Since Maria Grazia is not indigenous, Dior using this art style on their coats is problematic in an entirely different way.... It's not "garbage art". to many it's beautiful and significant.
i think it is garbage in the way that she uses that art, just pasting it on an unrelated coat in an unrelated collection, seems lazy and uninspired to me
Luke’s got good insight, especially from a technical band historical standpoint. I love the straight forward critique of these brands. Amazing work, Luke!!
Stop blaming it on China, Luke explained on the video, because of the lockdown they weren't able to hire black models, since there are very few black models in China there weren't any to work without having to take a flight.
Bobbie Productions I don’t think you know much about the social nuances of China and the experiences of black and mixed race people there. There is a diaspora of African people in China, particularly from West Africa, and it would have been possible to hire a black model. The label just didn’t try hard enough.
@Edanna Poudrier No, everyone is angry because there's no diversity and it's 20-fucking-20, they are not angry just because people are talking about the lack of diversity lmfao, what? People of all races, body types, gender identities etc, need and are interested in fashion/clothing, which means they're ignoring a gigantic chunk of their potential customers. Talking about it doesn't make it the center of attention, it's literally what fashion business is about. You want to sell to anybody possible and they're neglecting to acknowledge a major chunk of their audience, which is both terrible business, and downright stupid.
@Edanna Poudrier Something tells me your white and therefore have never had to experience feeling like you don't fit the beauty standard which is inherently eurocentric (white) and excludes and ridicules prominent black features e.g. big noses, coiled, kinky hair and dark brown/black skin. They also exclude and mock East Asian features e.g. monolids, flat nose bridge and wide/flat cheekbones. To be historically accurate, At the height of the Macedonian empire (Alexander the Great, 323 BC) would have encompassed Egypt and parts of Ethiopia (North Africans and East Africans) to the former Persian Empire (Arabs) and towards modern-day Pakistan and parts of Northern India (South Asians).
You mention that we're seeing the haute couture move online for the first time . Additionally, the high end fashion industry is frequently accused of being elitist and out of touch. Do you anticipate that the changes made due to covid will snowball into other changes that allow high end fashion to be more accessible to everyday folk?
The Guo Pei zebra butt look reminds me of the art crawl episode where Linda's sister filled the restaurant with paintings of animal butts on bob's burgers so light chuckle
well it was 23:30 in my timezone when you uploaded and i was just about to go to sleep... but guess who stayed up to watch a 40 min video :DDD also gotta say i love your outfit in this vid, especially the chain you're wearing
I always lov your fearless commentary Luke, but I have to rectify, about the - albeit questionable - Dior ; The clothes were also made for real size mannequins, not only for the dolls. So they are purposed to be eventually fitted to and worn by actual human bodies ! (you can see it in a video a french youtuber did with vogue where she visits the dior atelier) Also, as some other comments have said, the miniatures are how the fashion industry dealt with post WWII, and I think a quite ingenious thing to mirror for our current covid restrictions. PS : While we love your sassy, (probably more "successful" -- as in appealing to a larger audience, which : yesss get that monay!) videos, I think a lot of your viewers would be interested in digging deeper in certain sociological-artistic points you make - I understand you take your channel in the direction you want, and make it successfuuul - but like, just saying, I don't have 1/100th of your knowledge and I want to know why Maria Grazia Chiuri's aspirations to feminism and multi-culturalism/appropriation (like her show "celebrating" artisans in Morrocco) are poorly executed? (also to be honest the reason im so invested is that i've seen my fav feminist writer, who is Nigerian, in pictures and bein all friendly with her) But yeah we're interested! thanks for keepin us intellectually titillated xx cheers
I'm not fan of Chiuri's work at Dior usually. And while I agree that the video was, if not racist, incredibly dumb-headed in the context of the year we're living in (doing a video of supernatural creatures that still all have to be white? Really?) , the idea was interesting. And the doll-size clothes were exactly how haute couture used to send models of their creations to far-flung clients around the world, going back to the 18th century. This is fashion history. If you're going to comment and critique, you have to know what you're talking about and not just assume, out of your prejudice towards Chiuri at Dior, that it's size-ist. If you had looked up the b.t.s. video regarding the collection, you would have heard the petits mains talking about how Chiuri had them make full size versions of the clothes THEN re-create them to 1/3 rd size for the doll mannequins. As for Viktor and Rolf, the long sleeves on the full skirted outfits were a direct reference to 19th century déshabillé dresses crossed with men's smoking jackets of the same periodor, with the spiky coat, women's outdoor wear of that period. The whole point of the collection was about being at home during the pandemic with no reason to dress for the outside unless you were forced to go out, then you put on that spiked coat. The voice-over even made some of what I'm writing plain and required no fashion history knowledge. It's not enough to be able to critique. You have to know enough to critique effectively and transfer knowledge. You do a lot of the time. But when you get it wrong or don't do your homework, it really shows and it undermines your authority.
I don't think it was racist. remember how long Eu was on lockdown this year. Eu don't have as many black or Asian model who permanently staying in EU, and during lockdown, they can't send a plane to ship model only to have a few more diverse photo. It would be putting the lives of others at risk, so priorities.
@@angelikapotree2741 You're kidding, right? How do you not know there are millions of black and hundreds of thousand Asian people living the EU? How is that possible? Where are you from??
I am in awe more and more of your knowledge of fashion history, references, odes.... hei if u get it flaunt it. It makes your witty sarcasm even funnier, because is based on knowledge and I love intelligent humor. Stan.
I don't study it (just a huge history nerd): I don't even need a degree or college level education to notice that. The fact that with all the people working for her and all the financing she still this that, shows it was on purpose.
Actually the inspiration isn’t Greek mithology but medieval fairytales. The director of the video is an important Italian film director, Garrone. I’m disappointed Luke didn’t make some research about this; because for me as an Italian this collaboration is amazing and I’m proud of Garrone
@fe421286 '' I tHiNk iT'S a wAstE oF TiMe oF yoUr sMaLl AmERiCan bRAiNs tO sTuDY iTalY oR gReK oR clAsiCS '' That was so rude and xenophobic so please, be less toxic the next time. Because she/he didn't say that because of lack of preparation, but because she had bad information reported in the video.
fe421286 No need to be rude. Some of the elements originally stem from antiquity, although the video references their medieval reinterpretation, so it’s easy to get confused and lots of people in this comment section (including our fellow Europeans) have made the same mistake.
I have learned so much from watching this channel, Luke is unbelievably knowledgeable and gives amazing burn , I love how he appreciates the history of the couture houses and references, I never used to mind a belt on a dress but now I judge it xx
the quality level of your content is milesss ahead of anyone that yt recommends me these days👀 would love to see you review the fashion of Selling Sunset on netflix! (esp Christine and Crishell)
felt very drawn to the Viktor and Rolf heart motif clothes, they make me smile :). The Schiaparelli collection that's completely drawn was very nice for me as someone who used to draw clothing for fun.
In all of luke’s videos you can tell he takes an immense amount of time writing down or maybe he’s just that eloquent but i love when he gives me haute couture roast and reporter
It really is a tragedy that dior is such a hot mess, they’re one of my all time favorite brands and this collection was such a mixed bag. Some stuff was beautiful but too much of it was jut meh 😢
The Guo Pei looks were actually really interesting! Would love to see more content on Chinese designers since their narrative seems to be so distinct from other countries. Maybe Chinese Street Fashion?
Since I watched the Iris Van Herpen video, I was waiting for Luke to make a review. 😂😂😂 She is amazing, I'm sure and I also hope she is going to change the fashion world, if not totally, at least a little.
"Does it look nice? Yeah maybe for those with the most scary of the Corona symptoms. A lack of Taste".
Damn, that read was savage.

like!! we know maria grazia CAN make some really really gorgeous pieces (in my opinion, at least) but for every really nice piece she makes, theres, like, 10 vile repulsive ones
I totally agree
Maybe that's nature's way of balancing out the anomaly of a gorgeous Maria Grazia dress?
If she weren't able to, she would have been contracted for Dior nor Valentino, but at this point I wonder if they realized how Valentino went up after she left and Dior keeps sinking thanks to her.
imagine having an haute couture line inspired by Africa with no black models.......
go cry.
Nausithoe eat shit.
Maria Troya that was not the point of her comment lmao if we knew none of the models were Greek we’d be mad aswell so learn to read the room or stfu.
Everything just has to be about race.

And while I agree that the video was, if not racist, incredibly dumb-headed in the context of the year we're living in (doing a video of supernatural creatures that still all have to be white? Really?) , the idea was interesting. And the doll-size clothes were exactly how haute couture used to send models of their creations to far-flung clients around the world, going back to the 18th century. This is fashion history. If you're going to comment and critique, you have to know what you're talking about and not just assume, out of your prejudice towards Chiuri at Dior, that it's size-ist. If you had looked up the b.t.s. video regarding the collection, you would have heard the petits mains talking about how Chiuri had them make full size versions of the clothes THEN re-create them to 1/3 rd size for the doll mannequins. As for Viktor and Rolf, the long sleeves on the full skirted outfits were a direct reference to 19th century déshabillé dresses crossed with men's smoking jackets of the same periodor, with the spiky coat, women's outdoor wear of that period. The whole point of the collection was about being at home during the pandemic with no reason to dress for the outside unless you were forced to go out, then you put on that spiked coat. The voice-over even made some of what I'm writing plain and required no fashion history knowledge. It's not enough to be able to critique. You have to know enough to critique effectively and transfer knowledge. You do a lot of the time. But when you get it wrong or don't do your homework, it really shows and it undermines your authority.
I don't think it was racist. remember how long Eu was on lockdown this year. Eu don't have as many black or Asian model who permanently staying in EU, and during lockdown, they can't send a plane to ship model only to have a few more diverse photo. It would be putting the lives of others at risk, so priorities.
Angelika potree u are kidding right?
that is an appalling comment :(
@@demi6806 Which part of my comment?
@@angelikapotree2741 You're kidding, right? How do you not know there are millions of black and hundreds of thousand Asian people living the EU? How is that possible? Where are you from??
It’s 1:30 am in my time zone and I’m still gonna watch this
IVH slayed with just one look
I am in awe more and more of your knowledge of fashion history, references, odes.... hei if u get it flaunt it. It makes your witty sarcasm even funnier, because is based on knowledge and I love intelligent humor. Stan.

Not going to lie, I like this dress, but it doesn’t change that fact it looks like an Iris with a tribal tattoo.
That's all I could see. Beautiful structure and then bam! shitty 90s tribal tattoo.
Man I'm not even a fashion fan but I love listening to you talk about all of this.
I study Ancient Greece (I have a masters degree) and honestly that dior video is one of the worst and laziest pieces of classical reception I’ve seen
I don't study it (just a huge history nerd): I don't even need a degree or college level education to notice that. The fact that with all the people working for her and all the financing she still this that, shows it was on purpose.
I feel that, I am a graduate from the school of the Art Institute of Chicago and seeing that Dior video made me want to die
Actually the inspiration isn’t Greek mithology but medieval fairytales. The director of the video is an important Italian film director, Garrone. I’m disappointed Luke didn’t make some research about this; because for me as an Italian this collaboration is amazing and I’m proud of Garrone
@fe421286 '' I tHiNk iT'S a wAstE oF TiMe oF yoUr sMaLl AmERiCan bRAiNs tO sTuDY iTalY oR gReK oR clAsiCS '' That was so rude and xenophobic so please, be less toxic the next time. Because she/he didn't say that because of lack of preparation, but because she had bad information reported in the video.
fe421286 No need to be rude. Some of the elements originally stem from antiquity, although the video references their medieval reinterpretation, so it’s easy to get confused and lots of people in this comment section (including our fellow Europeans) have made the same mistake.
I have learned so much from watching this channel, Luke is unbelievably knowledgeable and gives amazing burn , I love how he appreciates the history of the couture houses and references, I never used to mind a belt on a dress but now I judge it xx
the quality level of your content is milesss ahead of anyone that yt recommends me these days👀 would love to see you review the fashion of Selling Sunset on netflix! (esp Christine and Crishell)
not me legit spitting out my drink over “pleats no thank you”. I love you Luke ❤️
Your voice and perspective truly calms my soul love the vids and the podcasts you are awesome 😎
felt very drawn to the Viktor and Rolf heart motif clothes, they make me smile :). The Schiaparelli collection that's completely drawn was very nice for me as someone who used to draw clothing for fun.
me: "oh that's pretty!"
Luke Maegher: "this dress is my own personal boggart"
me: ...
Off shoulder tweed. I'm here for it. Plain and simple. Simply irresistible. Thanks Luke.
I don't remember seeing him in a shirt this big??? Why he got in soulja boy's shirt?
I love that a you judge these looks as if you had a vision. Or taste at all
NEVER been more excited for a post notification!
IVH is truly a mastermind. I cannot wait to see what is coming next!!
Watching all these amazing pieces made me want to learn how to sew 😭. I want these for myself, but I definitely wouldn’t be able to afford it
luke literally got me into high fashion and haute couture like he's inspired this whole interest for me. thanks man
his videos explain high fashion to people new to the concept so so well
i would rather watch an entire show based on cheetah prints instead of the Dior show.
Honestly 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
It was awful
Soo...Tiger king?
That was jujubee / alexis mateo / india ferrah resort challenge
The Cheetah Girls tirlogy?
Talking about Dior's HC using boggarts as a reference to how outrageous the pieces were, reminds me why I watch this channel
i’m so excited ! can’t wait to see his critique on this
In all of luke’s videos you can tell he takes an immense amount of time writing down or maybe he’s just that eloquent but i love when he gives me haute couture roast and reporter
I actually liked the Dior dress that he said was his own personal boggart lmao oops
You’re so witty. Tnx for sharing your knowledge and insights and explaning in a way that even regular consumers can understand appreciate.
"IVH is amazing" like you even have to say it at this point.
Luke : talks about boggarts while showing a dementor
Me, a way too obsessed harry potter fan : this...is...fiiiiiiine.....
Honestly, I'll be so sad when Maria Grazia Chiuri leaves Dior because Luke's burns are to die for 😂😂😂
I absolutely love how descriptive he is! It's am amazing skill to have and makes watching these videos so much more fun and entergaining
It really is a tragedy that dior is such a hot mess, they’re one of my all time favorite brands and this collection was such a mixed bag. Some stuff was beautiful but too much of it was jut meh 😢
The Guo Pei looks were actually really interesting! Would love to see more content on Chinese designers since their narrative seems to be so distinct from other countries. Maybe Chinese Street Fashion?
i need you to react to seo yeji’s fashion on the show “it’s okay to not be okay” asap
The small mock up dresses by Dior are a throwback to how dresses were chosen by customers over 100 years ago x
"most of the dior clients probably dont actually know christian dior's first name" oof
Since I watched the Iris Van Herpen video, I was waiting for Luke to make a review. 😂😂😂
She is amazing, I'm sure and I also hope she is going to change the fashion world, if not totally, at least a little.
