Not Rosalia explaining the black dress by saying Sleeping Beauty's closed eyes would only see black 😭😭😭💀💀💀 that is truly a wild statement
like mama, did she really think we’d fall for that dumb explanation? 💀 so unserious
She was hilarious for that
She really didn’t care this year 💀
That explanation Rosalia gave is so absurd that it made me laugh out loud when I heard her saying it.
This sort of response is actually very Rosalía. She has said some of the dumbest things ever online. I expect nothing else from her lmao.
Edit because I realized I was generalizing and part of what I said may not be fair
I think Elle follows the theme. If you read the Garden of Time there is the idea of the garden being “frozen in time” everytime the owners took out a flower to prevent the outsiders to come in. So actually the water fountain would be the shape of Elle’s dress plus the collection is called Sleeping Beauties: reawakening fashion and she was Sleeping Beauty with the birds helping her dress. For me she was the best dressed with Tyla
THANK YOU!!
I haven't read the short story but he keeps bringing up the crystal flowers so I thought the dress was supposed to reference those! obviously no flowers on it but it looks like it's made of crystal or glass. I believe Elle herself kept bringing up sleeping beauty being dressed by birds but I don't think that ever happens in either of the Disney adaptations so idk where she got that from
Weren't the flowers also like glass looking in the story? I think I remember something like that... But yeah I agree, I think Elle was very much on theme
Oh! Yes! The fountain being frozen is exactly what I thought 💭
Yes! She looks frozen in time 💖
I feel like birds and insects were understated conceptually throughout the Met Gala. They are vital pollinators, plants exist because of them
And they are big actors of clothes' deterioration, with moth in number one
@@charlotteleduc3733 that is so true. And I wouldn't have been surprised to see Doja show up dressed as a cockroach or a bee or a realistic bird😂😂😂. Alas, we didn't get it
THANK YOU. God. I had hoped against hope for some beautiful insect and bird referencing but I knew it was too much.
Mona Patel's dress is incredible. I adore how much it is inspired by Art Nouveau which, as a 19th century form of art that seeked to imitate fleeting forms of nature in permanent materials, is perfect for this theme.
What I found interesting is that the lesser known celebrities did a better job than the more popular ones
Probably because the lesser known ones have more of a say in what they get to wear. The bigger celebs are signed onto brands and probably can’t refuse an outfit their stylist agreed on, or the brand will push them to wear the outfit they already designed. Smaller celebs, even influencers were probably able to execute their own vision, which would be more in theme, instead of trying to market the brand
You put more effort in when you still have something to prove (which is a good thing ! )
@@taliacheng5006😊
@@taliacheng5006 I think big celebrities would have more of a say in what they wear. Celebriteies are approached by designers. Theu are not signed to anything.
@@user-tx7wu3rn4v Thank you - and I quite agree!!! The Big Names in the world of the arts - and especially anyone connected with Hollywood - can pretty much pick their designer, and because they’re so coveted as models for their fashions, people in the fashion world would cater to them.
I think what was afoot at the Met Gala was that the fashion houses wouldn’t dream of using a Hollywood A-Lister for their more avante guard design ideas - and the Hollywood stars themselves are so accustomed to “being dressed” by others, they don’t get involved in the process. Perhaps it’s a case of, “They wouldn’t tell me how to act, so I shouldn’t tell them how to design,” kind-of-a-thing. Or maybe a combination of both of those things …and in the fog of mutual respect, the design gets lost….
I must say, though, that the house of Balenciaga was represented at the Gala so often, I wondered where Valentino, Givenchy, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and all the other usual suspects had gone. Had the fashion house bound and gagged other designers???🫦
tbh balmain kinda nailed this met gala, with tyla and elle fanning’s looks
they’re really good
easily some of the best looks of the night, in fact I would say tyla won.
Only facts. 💚
Olivier is a master when it comes to the female form and he absolutely nailed the story telling through both looks
Agreed!!
I initially felt the same about Alia Bhatt but if you watch Vogue's getting ready for the gala there is so much detail on the back of the dress. When Alia describes the inspiration for this year's theme it really made me appreciate it.
I find you to be the most learned, well-informed fashion commentator that I listen to. I am a 73 year old grandma who has changed the way I dress because of the ideas you put forth. ❤❤❤❤❤
This is literally the best comment I've read in my entire life, you're an icon grandma! 💖
@@riridr I'm livin' my best life!!! 😃
Ooohhhh how i wish someone had worn a torn up replica of the Marilyn dress. That would have been *chefs kiss*
😂 too soon
right behind Kim. ugh, your mind.
😭😭😭😭 omg
I think Karol G did that. At least I want to believe that.
@@aprilavery2002exactly karol gs looked like a revival of the kim marilyn moment with a commentary on how it ripped open on her
"If the girls aren't gonna try, neither am I"😂😅
😂😂😂he is so funny
You do "not gonna" 🤗
hahahahaha was looking for this comment lmaooo
😂😂😂
😂😂
I loved that Colman incorporated Calla Lilies since they are a common symbol for both death and rebirth which fits the theme so well! They’re a common flower for funerals so I also see how it is an homage to the Met Gala men who have passed.
I also think the calla lillies may reference Robert Mapplethorpe.
Sari is literally a timeless clothing .... Women in India and Southern Asia used to wear Sari centuries ago and even wear today during special occasions ... It literally suits every body type ❤
As a SUPER awkward gangly white-as-hell teenager, my close friend at the time invited me to her sister's Indian wedding, and I borrowed her sari, and genuinely, it was the most beautiful I had ever felt post-puberty. So comfy, so flattering, traditional South Asia clothing is 👑
Just thinking about how incredibly numb & cold Camilla's hand must've been after spending 20 minutes on the carpet clutching a block of ice. 🤣
I guess thats why it had a chain. She just didnt use it for the photo we saw.
@@marljusweetyI read that the chain came off pretty early on. She suffered for fashion lol
@@PeachysMom Ah! Well, that would have sucked, then. I thought they were smart and added the chain to the flower, so it would continue as jewelry. Wow. 😅
Though I get what that block of ice is for, they could've at least made it out of resin or even glass piece sort of preserving the flower inside 🤔 kinda like the flower from beauty and the beast (tho it's a wrong fairytale)
They should have given her some gloves 😢
That first sari killed.
I was really glad the sari is real. I was sad about Katy Perry being AI. It's obvious to me now, but I saw this sari first and it made me believe.
Yes I was very surprised by this video’s reaction when initially even a poorly done floral got a pass. The sari was incredible and on theme
"Karol G was like 'I love fairies' and I was like 'well, that's good--they like to listen to your music.'" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Mona Patel is a butterfly always around any garden...A fabulous design.
"I can't relate, cuz I'm not stupid" is amazing and a phrase I'm going to use from now on
Sameeee
wish i could remember half of his snappy remarks…and why i only watch his reviews.
@@13klecan he fr needs to write a book of all his different quips
Elia Bhatt absolutely nailed the theme. The Sari is an ancient garment which has been worn “thru the sands of time”. Elia’s Sari was a fresh interpretation of the ancient Sari and the beautifully embroidered flowers referenced the garden theme. Perfection!
The sari was beautiful but it would have been more on theme if it was an actual vintage sari or a modern version of one with some areas that looked faded or tattered. It was good she had the floral element for the garden but the theme was the Garden of Time which contained crystal clock flowers in the story.
@@thaliahall4599The style itself is pretty vintage, it doesn’t need to be tattered; other people are wearing fresh clothes too. The large amount of floral gemstones do the “crystal flowers” part and the “minty” color is the faded part (as sarees are usually popular in bold colors). The story is also about dying aristocracy; this is a fusion outfit of Indian and European culture with her hair, headpiece, makeup and bow on her back referencing the Countess. I would say it’s perfect for the theme.
Just to correct you it's Alia not Elia❤❤
@@LilacSreya I really like your point about the makeup, hair, etc. playing into the theme of western aristocracy. My only gripe with the actual outfit is that as far as shades go, the trend for close to a decade now has been pastels with light floral embroidery, especially with Bollywood celebrities. So they definitely could have pushed the envelope a bit on that. That said, it's impeccable craftsmanship, that was never in question.
@@thaliahall4599ur mistaken the saree was a homage to Parsi style saree draping with all the fringe elements from 1950s which again coming into fashion since Katrina wore a similar style during her wedding, thus showing timeless fashion.
Alia’s saree, just the silhouette itself, is the embodiment of fashion, preservation and time!
Sarees have been worn by the masses since the Indus Valley Civilisation (2800 BC). It has held grace and fashion for over 4000 years.
I don’t believe many other silhouettes have held that power. For example, a dress / gown has evolved vastly from 19th century to 20th century where they look VERY different when worn by the masses (in a mainstream manner). But not the saree. It still looks as is, holding both so much history and heritage. Incredible to think about.
The top design of Mona's dress sure looks like a butterfly to me. It's incredible.
"Have your butt crack have a meaning" is sending me 🤣 Mona might as well have been the modern incarnation of Cinderella because when she walked in people were agog: "WHO IS SHE?"
👍👍
Agreed 👍
I Don t see Angela Lansbury giving her that derriere-nude-robe!!! ;)
Angela Lansbury being the ultimate godmother- fairy, of course!!!!
💯 agree
Those mechanical butterflies on Mona Patel looked ethereal and Alia Bhatt looked like a garden fairy. 💜
They did look like butterflies but were actually a type of flower. The mechanical element was wonderful!
@@thaliahall4599 I thought they were butterflies.
Now that I know, they do resemble butterfly pea flowers.
I was highly expecting to see someone in a Salvador Dali clock costume with moving hands, but oh well it was just me. 😭
Thank you for showcasing that stunning work of art on Mona. Literally perfection and it’s not received any hype online, how?!
People always overlook Iris Van Herpen's work criminally, imo. Like she's haute couture and highly respected in the fashion world but the average person has no idea who she is or how superior her designs really are.
The first mention of the sari was in the Rig Veda(the oldest holy Hindu scripture) which dates back to 3000 BC. I realky think it fit the theme best and as Alia said 'there is nothing more timeless than a sari.'💖
Alia and Mona ATE In my eyes they won this year
Yes! Alia Bhatt looked gorgeous. She nailed it.
And the craft of sari embroidery is hundreds of years old!
@@Trinifoodyes thats why its timeless
@@Trinifood Actually saree’s origin date back to around 5000 years, not only hundreds.
“Saree” in Sanskrit means a strip of cloth worn around body, originally it didn’t have any blouse(the crop top) or the petticoat, as India is humid and hot country men and women didn’t cover their chest area, u can even see it in ancient Indian carvings of women with bare chests, the blouse and petticoat were introduced because of invasions (India was under many invaders for over 1000 yrs) and it was made so that Indian daughters don’t get harassed, veil was also introduced by Persian/Islam invaders
Mona’s dress is the most beautiful masterpiece of a dress I’ve ever seen omg
“i love fairies” “well that’s good, they love to listen to your music”
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Came here to comment that...good job! 😂
Omg best line of the video!!!
Thank you, Luke, for your knowledge, for reading our comments, for making us laugh, for the fashion history lessons. This is literally the first place I come after a big event to hear your take on the fashions. Met Gala is one of the best places because there can be SO much creativity... or not. I was thrilled that you shared Alia Bhatt's look, and Mona Patel's look (I'm obsessed with Iris Van Herpen's work in general. I think she is an absolute genius.)
Regardless of not following the theme, I love Mindt Kaling's and Mona Patel's dresses. They would be fabulous wedding dresses in a white shade. Wisdom Kaye looked great!
The concept is that the garment "Sari" itself is timeless and was worn in India since the dawn of time like even centuries ago. Hence, it ties to the theme of "The Garden of Time". Alia also mentions this in her video with vogue.
You can give any explanation but I’m just sick and tired of sabyasachi recycling the same couple of tired concepts for his clothes. He could have done a completely new design for his MET debut but he missed the mark.
Garden of Time refers to a book. We get it - sarees have been worn for centuries, we don’t need to bring it up every time though unprompted
Isn’t gown as well.
I'm indian. "The sari is timeless" is a stretch...
@@keshavchunylall3867 HATER..........once the right age hits you, u will know the beauty (if u are a woman, if not then it is pitiful)
Alia bhatt said it best "there is nothing timeless than a saree". So, she perfectly fit the theme imo.
❤
Your sentence is incomplete.
You need a comparative:
More timeless than
Or
Less timeless than
Which one is ir for your sentence to be fully coherent?
Timeless is the opposite of a garment deteriorating/ changing over time
@@greyLeicester it is a comparative. There is "nothing" more timeless than a saree.
It's like saying there's nothing spicier than a chilli, for example. It's most definitely a complete sentence.
@@shravyagollapudi9737 the original comment, if you read it again, left out more between nothing and timeless, so it wasn't complete.
For Mindy Kaling, if they said that her dress simbolizes the movement of sand by wind and also time, they would have nailed the theme in my opinion because that was the first thing that came to my mind
I saw that Gaurav Gupta said her dress is actually entitled The melting flower of time!
@@shirin9452 yes, I saw that too but i am not convinced, i think they just said it to be on theme
Same Sands of time that wrap around morality, but sureeee melting flor
I’m pretty sure that the “plumes” on Demi Moore’s dress represent hands on an analog clock, making that amazing dress a surreal masterpiece of a time-garden…
Mona Patel gained 150K followers after the Met and still going, she really deserves it, can't wait to see her next Met look❤❤
I am more interested in Luke's videos than anything that ever happened at the Met😂
Same. I didn’t watch the stream cause I wanted to watch with him.
Literally!! I couldn’t wait to watch his review lol
I believe that the element that recalls the gardens in the Natasha Poonawalla look is the head piece which resembles the head of a mushroom, a normal and positif element in a garden 🍄❤
Mindy Kaling's look looks more like "the swirling sands of time" than "flower coming apart" and they should've just called it that, it's literally the color of sand
I think Mona Patel's dress resembles a White Luna Moth more than it does flowers, which brings in both the element of nature and garden since they are insects aswell as the fashion deteriorating over time element as moths (maybe not these specific ones) are most famous for eating holes into fabrics
It resembled a cake that a baker and an engineer made in some baking show on Netflix I watched 😂
Wisdom Kaye deserves all the opportunities coming towards him. He really has a eye for fashion.
Mona’s dress is GORGEOUS
Nicki Minaj’s looks was so creative but also on brand for her Harajuku image!!
Mona Patel dress is so beautiful, it reminds me art nouveau borders and patterns, the way those details flow and curve, so gorgeous
Alia bhatt chose Saari because it's literally one of the oldest attire in the world. So, answering your comment, yes, she is referencing back to not just centuries, but millenniums. Saari has been existed since more than 1000s of years. I think her attire is the only one that marks that point.
Good points BTW.
Problem was that the saree was same old same old. She chose a boring saree.
@@teen-queenwestern celebrities also chose boring gown
@@teen-queenthis!! It was pretty but nothing special..just meh
Darling, any national dress can go back centuries (and even millenia), not just the saree...
For instance, the Japanese kimono 😂😂
@greyLeicester and yet nobody could come up with the brilliant idea to incorporate those beautiful attires in their designs. You're stating a good point. But I'm not sure if it rebuttles my statement.
Again, I'm not here to judge anyone's dress. I think there are enough critics out there. I'm just supporting something I liked.
"I can't relate because I"m not stupid" - My favorite thing about Luke is when he laces his roasts with the artist's work lmaooo
For KeKe Palmer you did not mention that the dress is also alluding to an Egyptian Mummy, the art of mummification literally highlights preservation of time. Cuz the process is meant for preserving a body after death through removing moisture and using chemicals or natural preservatives to dry out the flesh and organs. with the intended goal to create a dried form that won't decay easily. Quite literally garden of time theme especially if you consider Keke Palmer a Black Beauty and Queen referenced in Gold. Just in case you missed it.
Exactly, I heard about the mummy reference. The crystal beads wrapped around like a mummy's wraps & portions were unraveling.
Was on theme with sleeping beauty.
@@thaliahall4599 so many parts of her dress were on theme. It was multifaceted just like our girl Keke. The other thing I wanted to mention is how this look has some motifs similar to the film Coming to America's character Imani Izzi. Where she wore that gold dress and had her hair held up. And that's an American classic film 🤣. Keke's team did their thing.
thank you. i was waiting for him to say something and he just never did even though it was so obvious. 🥲
Now I feel badly that I hated it on sight bc I immediately said "looks like a very expensive mummy costume." Like I didn't know she was going for that look..I'm not saying she didn't do it well but maybe just not the best look to go for. Just me.
A chain mail dress that was rusted would've been stunning.
Love love love the amount of knowledge and history you bring to your critique. Really appreciate learning about the fashion history behind these looks. Thanks for all the work you put in your content, really top tier! ❤️
Moni Patel and Mindy K both had trains that resembled wakes (waves) which is a time element. Also references the waves of hoards of people storming the castle.
Thank god, I’m here to have someone finally give Wisdom Kaye the flowers he deserves for this outfit. This man always serves
He really met the theme among everyone but especially for the men.
Of course! He is a man that does fashion and does it well 🔥
Which is more than you can say for a lot of men especially at the MET this year.
I interpreted elle’s look as a melting ice sculpture! the ultimate fleeting beauty 😊
I love watching all your fashion videos, you don’t just roast people for what they are wearing, you explain why you don’t like what they are wearing. You also have thought me a lot about what old fashion is, and the appreciation of garments. Thank you for all the hard work you do and for bringing us Fashiooon!
You're the ONLY ONE I actually listen to for these reviews - you really know fashion! ❤ from Canada
Elle’s dress is based on the iced fountains of the story behind the garden of time
Barry's face confuses me, he looks 26 and 52 at the same time
He’s the only Irish man that doesn’t do it for me. Good actor, though.
Hahahaha, too true.
true
Also he isn't handsome, but on screen he have moments he is stunning (maybe I have a thing for talent though)
34:42 it looks like Karol G’s dress was commenting on Kim K’s destruction of the Marilyn dress, how it was stretched so tight and the crystals were falling off
I was waiting for part 2, on point as ever, Luke! (Can't wait for 3, hopefully we get a 4)
I could be way off the mark here. But balmain did a glass dress and a sand dress. Glass breaks down into sand over time. Elle fanning LITERALLY is sleeping beauty/briar rose so I get the birds
The Rosalia explanation was mental!! I saw her video and my eyes rolled so hard they almost came out of my mouth 🤣
I have never understood runway fashion or these galas. Been watching you for a few months. You explain so well. AND I agree with you on so many outfits. Thank you
Mindy Kaling & Mona Patel STUNNING. Roll the dice, hard to pick...
mona patel, tyla, gwendoline christie, alia bhatt, jordan roth, sabrina harrison, wizdom kaye and zendaya all DEVOURED.
zendaya is definitely a choice lol she could have done so much better
Was Gwendoline in theme though
tyla for sure, the rest idk if those are who i would pick
Zendaya looked like a tacky corpse bride!
law roach’s interviews revealed mona’ patel’s moving dress was lily flowers, not butterflies
I thought they were orchids at first and was so confused when everyone kept saying butterflies
Luke, you’re doing great. Thanks for these detailed videos❤️
thank you THANK YOU, you never disappoint 🖤
demi's spikes were the rods for the gate/fencing around the garden.
I was thinking along the lines of referencing the points on the ends of the hands of a clock, but I really like your comment.
I thought they were the hands of time but that makes sense.
@@bluemeaford Or its both ... a dual pronged attack if you will 😂
Yes, came here to comment this. Iron fencing detail for sure.
I thought "fencing", too. And I think the designer also came wearing the same motif around the collar/head, there are photos of them together. Also a stunning look. But I have heard they were actually referencing thorns, not fencing.
For whatever it means, you single-handedly make fashion "matter" with your vulgarizing of in-depth backstory/referencing. BRAVA to you
I hope that one day Luke will be invited to the met gala. He would surely leave everyone with their mouths open.
@@Itzzy515 SERIOUSLY
No comment here will Ever get close to the Uber-sarcastic of yours!🫣🤭🤣👌💪👏
So important to the Culture 💯💯
Makes me spill my drink ❤
Hi, thank you for your work. I mostly follow creators with historic fashion and similar, but yours is one of the channels with a more modern twist I always enjoy, especially in case of the Met Gala. So Thank you very much.
One of the elements I wish someone used is visible patches, repairs and refashioning older styles into new ones. Which was very common in history and prolonged life of clothing. Not only a lot on the nose, fraying and disintegration.
V much enjoyed this video. Nice to see you likes Demi’s gown, and Elle Fanning .Keke Palmer , Mona Patel . V informative , on all the referencing , and how the theme was applied. ❤
I really enjoyed how Francesco and the Marni team interpreted the theme into Charli and Nicki’s looks. He was one of the few designers who seemed to think deeply about the theme beyond just “florals for spring.”
Thank you for this comment
Wisdom 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
"Keyboard warrior. Go for it. I don't really care." YOU ARE MY HERO - This whole video was therapeutic for me.
This is only the 2nd video of yours that I have viewed, and I have to thank you for the education. I have never understood or took the time to understand the Met Gala, and I am glad that I watched you and got to understand what the designers were going for or not going for.
I also agreed with a lot of your opinions.
I am now a subscriber and looking forward to watching more former content and new content.
Luke - You know your fashion history, which I love when you do your critiques of these fashion shows. You’re also quite funny. You pay complements when deserved and slay when appropriate!! GREAT JOB!!!
I was disappointed by Michelle Yeoh’s tragic decision to wear that gown.
all the indians killed it
definitely !!!!
sue me but alia’s wasn’t that great. gorgeous yes but it wasn’t groundbreaking. she could have worn that to any other red carpet event. mona nailed it though.
@@hamilcross still better than many others who couldnt even be on theme
@@hamilcross maybe because you don't like the saree. And saree is different from others Western outfits. The saree design is perfect for the theme. And nobody's gonna sue you. You don't like it fine, but sue me??? You're being hatred
@@hamilcrosscompared to the other looks though… i would say she did good
Mona Patel is proof that Art Nouveau was the most magically glam time period for art ❤❤
It also proved what a talent Iris Van Herpen is.
@@chemokikiYES. Louder for everyone in the back, pls
Thank you for making fashion so interesting and relatable. Your knowledge of fashion history is admirable! And your passion is infectious. Love your videos 😊
elle SLAYED THIS MET
i love that she paid homage to the sleeping beauties theme, but in a different way (frozen in time, fragile like glass, quite literally played aurora in maleficent). also, she tied in time and garden - frozen in time with the glass/frozen water look (reminded me of fountains found in gardens during the winter when the water would freeze up). i LOVE the bird detail because it ties both the sleeping beauty and time/garden theme like how you mentioned. she has been a HUGE fashion fan for years - when she was younger, she would scrap book runway looks from different brands and collections and would memorize the names of the models (also in her vogue interview with emma, she pronounced balmain correctly) - like if there was anyone who actually cared about the met gala and being on theme, it would be elle
Gwendoline gives me Red Queen from the Alice in Wonderland vibes, which I know is not directly on theme, but there are a heavy presence of garden and time being ticking away in the story! Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter were also giving Mad Hatter and Alice when together. And dare I say Demi Moore also gave Red Queen and her rose garden dreams! Might just be the big rose on her dress, but the pointy feathers really brought it home for me! (Felt like the styling of a deck of cards, like the Queen's Guards in the animated film) Anywaysss!
It's always such a pleasure to learn about the references in history of fashion from you Luke! xxo
Loved Nicki, Mona Patel and tyla
But why is no one talking about Rihanna in the invisible cloak????
How muggle of us that we didn't notice 😢
It was ai
@@user-yb9zp2nd1z 🤣😩
Love this years extensive reviews !!!
I can't wait for the next part ✨
hey Luke, as always thanks so much for your highly informative and entertaining videos!
I was just happy to see a saree on red carpet. I dress like a tomboy unless I'm in saree. It always fits, it's elegant, and there are multiple ways to wear one. Anyone can wear a custom lehenga or salwaar but it so much more effort put on a saree. The reason I loved Alia Bhatt's look so much is because it elevated the traditional saree.
OH MY GOD DEMI MOORE IN HARRIS REED??? why was nobody talking about that? that was so gooooood
the spikes read like hands of a clock at any given moment
I was thinking the same about the clock face (clock hands as well as reminiscent of hour markings on a clock face). Moreover - based on what I’ve garnered about the short story - the spikes also evoke the imagery of fence spikes and the circular structure enveloping the rose/flowers play to the fenced-in-ness of the couple as the horde attacks/encroaches on them. Simultaneously protecting themselves in a limited space of ‘protection’ (fence) whilst the enveloping of the spikes/clock hands signify the flower literally surrounded. The spikes could also imply arrow heads (leaning more heavily into the ‘attack’ of the horde) being braced by the flower (pushing back the time of arrival further), like all the arrows shot at a castle or enclave, now stuck in the walls sticking out as a grim reminder of what the flower of time can no longer push to escape. The garden is surrounded, and through its used up resources, entirely besieged. The flower is surrounded; and not simply by the walls of the garden (self fenced-in) but adorned with narrative depiction of the onslaught of the horde. The couple/garden/ flower will perish (inescapably surrounded by the circle), backed into a corner of its own doing (hands of clock/ time implication in the spikes- its own actions of time pushing brought about the inevitability of demise. Time (use/abuse) leaves it (self) fenced in and now is marked by inextricable finitude and limitation, whereby the arrow symbolises (like a hundred arrows stuck in the back of an animal) demise. Sorry for repetition, this look made sooo much sense to me for the theme, on so many interrelated layers (in relation to the short story). Absolutely adore it (visually stunning and forward thinking too, in my fashion uneducated opinion). Maybe not forward thinking but it had so damn much to say and I think it really did that all with such grace and simplicity.
I'm only watching your reactions to the met gala. ❤️ Great videos!
Cristóbal Balenciaga was an absolute genius. Not only was he an incredible and innovative designer, but he learned to sew from his mother as a child (she was a seamstress) and was apprenticed to a tailor at the age of 12. As Chanel said, “Only he is capable of cutting material, assembling a creation and sewing it by hand. The others are simply fashion designers.”
Everyone who is upset about a poorly-conceived fashion shoot from several years ago needs to leave the memory of Balenciaga himself out of it. I get very heated about this lol. His manipulation of grain, the fabric choice, his development of gazar…just incredible. I did a sewing workshop at the Balenciaga Museum last summer and it was one of the greatest experiences ever, I learned so much!
12:30 I am afraid I thought not of hourglasses, but that sleeping beauty was doing so under a mosquito net. 😂😂
and i couldn't blame you 😭
I need to stop watching while my husband is napping. I just abruptly, loudly laughed several times this episode.
Right?! I love his humor 😂
Loved loved loved your last video and been so excited for this one. Just about to watch! You're amazing! Yes so agree all these people who have all the resources in the world and can't be bothered to be creative and make a statement..wtf
Always a thorough explanation! I admire the depth of your knowledge of haute couture. Had to giggle at the “Peter Rabbit” zinger: very apropos! Glad you took it with good grace.
The arrows on Demi Moore's Gown seem to reference a popular style of clock from the 1970’s. I recall my Grandmother had this arrow look used as the hands of time going around the clock face. I've also seen arrows as decoration sticking out and going around similar clocks of the same vintage like on the dress.
I loved Amanda Seyfried because her dress reminded me of the 1920s Robe de Style Silhouette, especially with the hair. Adding the crystal flowers and the reused fabric to the story, I thought it was a perfect mix of the garden and time portions of the theme.
I would have loved to see some ivy or creepers… when you think of a really old garden, you think of everything getting tangled and twisted around the original garden structure … someone in a gorgeous structured dress or something that looks like a statue with the whole thing being suffocated with vines, including the face, would have been awesome! Having said that, I think this Met is pretty good theme wise. As each year goes by they seem to get it more. Thanks Luke for your informed and entertaining commentary! Xx
Thanks for doing natasha. I really loved it. Was a break from all the colorful flowers
If someone wanted to really commit to the "textiles changing over time" bit, Lady Gaga's meat dress would have killed it 😅
That would've been really interesting to see
Of course Elle Fanning went with Sleeping Beauty. She played her in the Maleficent movies. I love her take on it. I kinda wish more of them looked at the hoarde element of the story. There's a lot of interesting options there.
I was eagerly waiting for part 2 so we can finally talk about the good looks.
I'm bummed you couldn't give us a look either, because in the last video you were on point but the people were disappointing ❤
The Sari on Alan was so good
Ashley looked so breathtaking I also wish she gave us a little more in the details because the dress was driving me nuts.
Demi's dress really gave Wallpaper, I'm so glad you explained it because I couldn't stand that look with the spikes
how much do you love fashion, to know SOOO much detail? I admire your dedication so much! Shows how passionate you are about fashion ❤❤😍😍
Iris van Herpen is a true artist in every sense of the word
Ugh I had the WORST day today and seeing this gave me something to chill out and laugh with, thank you!
hehehehehehe hope it makes your day better!!!
Flowers bleh fabrics... I caught myself playing this just because your wonderful way of speaking soothes me. Cheers!
I enjoy all of your historical & past fashion collection references. Might not agree with your opinions of what works; but your well researched references are spot on.
Mindy looks like an orchid in bloom. They only bloom once a year in the spring. I think she won the night
