I sew and when you said they made that for you for 100£. It's so cheap for custom work. That's basically what I spend to make myself something nice, not including working hours.
When people give the take of “if designers don’t wear their clothes then you’re probably being tricked” is an interesting take because designers don’t really design for themselves ,they’re designing for their customers. Rick Owens is one of my favorites because once you get a couple of pieces you can mix and match and they all work. Same with the HOMME PLISSE line. Get a top and bottom in matching colors and you’re done. They don’t ask a lot from the wearer and I like that.
Jacquemus is gimmicky and same old same old. It's all about body display, shrinkage of proportion/ form and cut aways: that has to be on young bodies. Very lucrative but limited market because the young inevitably grow up and move on. They're moving on to MiuMiu for instance. Balmain is another gimmicky brand that has some stalwart designs like the blazer, but generally it's pretty banal. Balenciaga is a very dramatic fashion house which got hijacked for a time. The problem is the relevant people have stayed there. People say it's just a joke and that's harmless but I've seen comedians joking about child abuse and they were for real. It's like joking about domestic violence it's a no-go area. You can't normalise the shocking and they were trying to get this past people. A massive miscalculation. I do however love some aspects of this fashion house. Ann D was innovative. The problem with all of it, you can't be shocking, or iconoclastic, or gender bending beyond a certain point you exhaust all possibilities and there's nothing to rebel against. So you get a new generation for whom Normcore is it, minimalism is it and they reject the ego involved in being a slave to fashion. They're more under the radar and not about display. This is the conundrum for fashion houses, marketing to people who don't want to be flashy, and that's been subsumed in the dreaded 'Quiet Luxury' or 'Normcore' or classics trends, which are not trends really; it's a low consumption lifestyle. You should consider doing limited edition productions on particular designs of your own. There are websites to market them. Handbags fit any shape and same with watches, so people with weight issues or size issues outside the norm will go for that. There are exceptions such as avoiding very boxy bag shapes if you're boxy yourself but it's pretty much the rule. I don't really go for styles that pile on layers onto the body and hide it. It's not practical in the Australian climate for a start.
Law talked about how hard it was in the beginning to get clothing from brands in general. So they opted to get clothing that was already "worn" by other celebs, which normally is not what celebs want to do. I can tell if a celeb is styled by law which is a testament of is own style, as a result of having more options and opportunties as in the beginning. Now i see a huge difference between him and other known stylist ( e.g. kate young), where he has more hits than misses. He regulary pulls archival pieces from differents brands and tries to pull from the theme of the movie and black historical designer like Zelda Wynn Valdes, which shows his deep knowledge in fashion. In conclusion, i disagree with the notion of him just copying because he has no ideas of his own or reducing him to "he just types in pinterest some keywords".
Idk if at the time he thought about clothing the way he does now but in one of the many interviews he talks about being an outfit repeater because if he likes something he’s gonna wear it as much as possible. Also about trying not to be wasteful with clothing.
The so-called “Margiela 4-stitch” isn’t even exclusive to the brand to begin with. I have an old, old Marni handbag that had the leather Marni tag done in the 4-stitch.
Logos matter. 99% of customers are paying money to have a logo emblazoned style to signal to people that they have money to spend on "designer" fashion. The Row is maybe the only logo free brand.
The powers of branding/advertising! I’ve been in Paris a couple months now and the amount of people I see take pics in front of a big designer brand logo or just take pics of the logo is crazy! We’re not taking about about taking pics of products/the store. It’s literally just the logo. ☠️☠️☠️
My hot take : Hip hop and rap people ( not necessarily black ) by the way they behave IRL, the lyrics of their songs, its not what luxury wants to be associated with. Michelle Obama, everything she wore, including GAP, was praised to the high heaven, because of who she is. Beyonce collabs with designers, Chanel dressed Cardi B ( big mistake IMO ) she is ratched. But fashion houses will go where the audience/money is. Black Hollywood stars who are not "gangsta" are dressed by designers, Kayne was feted by high fashion because he was a different kind of rapper, Drake too, white country singers are not collaborating with high fashion, because they too are seen as not right, but for different reasons - too Christian, too conservative, not liberal and woke, and they have huge fanbases especially in America.
…and I always wondered why yall just didn’t care. But you confirmed it in this video that basically you don’t care because the people that buy it don’t care. It’s sad that being in fashion…you can be sooo thirsty behind a name and price tag that you absolutely ignore alllll morals.
@ I never said I don’t care - I was asked a question about why it seems as though people have forgotten about the scandal and I merely stated that the customers that buy it don’t care so until they do, nothing will change. It’s logical that if people that buy a brand don’t care about the scandal then nothing will change, most of the outrage came from people who aren’t Balenciaga customers. It’s the same case with Dolce & Gabanna, many things they have done been questioned morally by most but they’re still making billions because the people that put money on the brands’ pocket don’t care.

ABSOLUTELY LOVEDDDDD THIS. PLEASE PLEASE DO MOREEE
This yellow hoodie looks great on you. This bright shade of yellow really suits you well. A pretty underrated color in general.

What a beautiful way to start the year, thank you xxxxD

It’s always one of you! 🙄
@@rockyhrndz lol
🤔🤔🤔 wouldn’t that be Margiela esque? The anonymous brand being itself a reference?
Wow I knew I was poor but damn 53 pieces of clothes . Those ppl in that average got money wooh.
any plan for your bear in 2025 ?

kind of depressing but you're not wrong. Though I would say this applies more to the average consumer vs "niche fashion" people.

I loved your channel until I heard your take on Balenciaga! Yea naw!! I care about children more than clothes!!! 🤮
What take? I critique Balenciaga constantly, probably the most on TH-cam
