@Powerful Oprah thats really the case with most things isnt it? Such as diamonds, or that app that cost 1k just to say you are rich, people value things more that they pay a lot for even if its just expensive trash, also to display wealth or status to other people. Hence the logos being centrepiece in many of these fashions, they want everyone to know the brand they are wearing, in a way people wear it to tell other people they are rich or upperclass. Its interesting to watch, but makes me sad to see kids on min wage incomes feeling like they need to buy this stuff thats clearly not in their price range just to keep up socially.
I've seen 2 other videos on it but Luke's is the best even though it's a "reaction". He gives us a thousand times more fashion knowledge than the other two videos put together.
I remember back in the day you can get beautiful tops with nice vibrant patterns and luxurious fabrics and today for the same price you get a basic hoodie with a logo printed on from the same brands
But there are so SO many other brands Gucci 🤔 the leader of the logo-pack, Don't know you or your taste in style but gonna name a few that are different from eachother: Ann de Meulenmeester, Maison Margiela, schrimps, Loewe, Staud, Like there is very everyone and if you don't like these or others go vintage. But from time to time i love a bit of logo "when i 'm in my logo bitch mood day" Znd if i don't like it (aka can't afforte it ) but then i just don't look at social media too the "logo brands" and scrolle thru sunsets & flowers and then i think "what logo " you should try " No please don't come after me okay? Just my opinion & me trying to be funny & sarcastic 🤷🏻♀️🤣
@@carmengrauwels and even gucci is a lot more than those logo pieces. Alessandro Michele collections are usually very philosophical, talk about a bunch of topics and are packed with references. Those logo pieces are often just to cash out from dumb rich kids and instagram influencers. I recommend you all to take a look at the bliss foster analysis of the gucci fw 2018
as far as I know the collection was a conscious 'quoting' of Demna's aesthetics for Balenciaga, and Alessandro did in fact request permission from the brand and Demna himself, but you're right it's not a 'Gucci x Balenciaga' collaboration in that Demna was in the studio with Alessandro creating things, Gucci were I believe just given free rein to use what they liked. i also think a collaboration like this is very significant, simply because it is these two brands specifically. Gucci and Balenciaga have been responsible for some of the biggest fashion stories, trends and meme baiting in the past 5 years. I really believe a collection like this is a completely self aware comment on their own influence on the industry, and their own effect on hyperconsumerism. It's kind of Warholian in a way? I know that's all very pretentious, but Alessandro himself puts such enormous amout of stock into the inspiration and story behind his collections he never half-asses anything he does in the research department, so I feel it almost requires a slightly deeper analysis.
What you said about Tom Ford is so true as it is for LV with Marc Jacobs, those brands didn't do rtw before them, no codes, nothing ! They single handedly created the brands identities
YOU WANT TO REACT TO THAT BALENCIAGA SHOW SO BADLY!!!! Idea: why don't you do a series (or an ocassional video if you don't feel like commiting) reacting/sharing your favorite shows ever? It'd be educational for us and fun for you to indulge with some of your favorite moments
At this point luxury brands are becoming way too commercial. Everything is kinda mass produced, it’s just not exciting anymore because everyone and their mom can get everything.
Totally agree, they need to slow down and go back to ss & fw , resort, pre fall, pre spring, etc... is to much Like it would be cool if designers would creat a mid collection with all the unsold pieces designed in a new way, and that just 1x a year. Or something like that
That is a commentary on the gross wealth inequality and how many customers are able to flaunt designer brands. It is also a nod to the knock-off industry that people support in order to chase the superficial societal norms we encourage. The brands are commercializing to remain relevant and make money.
@@wretchelttv possibly but i really just want to look at a piece and think omg i would die for that rather than see just everybody having it. Maybe i feel that way because i like the exclusivity of things because if stuff isn’t then what is the point of fashion houses if they comparable to h&m
@@andreasbernhard8659 I understand and agree with the sentiment. Finding true artistry is difficult to do when it doesn't pay the bills. It used to be art now it is about the money. Look what happened to Zac Posen. That guy was an artist, but not a business man.
I would love to see you do some in-depth dives into historically significant designers. You have such a wealth of knowledge: it would be so lovely to see nods to 20th century fashion designers' works and their lasting influence. Example: Elsa Schiaparelli : and how her designs influenced so many designs today. Exposed zippers, gaucho pants, screen prints, ironic tee-shirts etc. I know her personal clothing was also photographed when her granddaughter sold it at auction a few years ago: hearing about those pieces would be so interesting from your perspective.
I think you're great: wonderful concise review of the the show and where the business is going: i.e. the logo/ branding. I appreciate all your commentaries! Thank you. Also, thanks for referencing Judith Leiber: most people wouldn't know anything about what she's already done.
I loved it Luke !! I agree definately lots of 70's references with those wide lapel suits and oxford bag type pants, not to mention the easy fit bermuda shorts and the elongated calf lenth skirts midi length coats with big furry sleeves. The tooled belt bags, natural leather belts, trims...VERY 70's
Luke, your reliable connoisseurship is a grand, enjoyable, and entertaining illumination that reflects your sincere and passionate authority. I must say that coat on you made my jaw drop and I thank you for sharing details on it!
This is a EPIC idea to put these two together. Love the pure Balenciaga staples in Gucci monograms. OVERRR the equestrian theme in fashion! Sick of the ugly helmets, riding boots, harnesses . . . Nextttt
11:40 The first time I saw Gucci use a single "G" instead of the double-G was during the Fall/Winter 1996 collection under Tom Ford. It was shiny gold and had a unique shape like a rounded rectangle with a little slit in the right-center so you can tell it's a "G." Ralph Lauren introduced his Polo pony logo on the cuff of his women's dress shirts in 1972. Jordache and Calvin Klein used to put their names on their jeans. Chanel went logo crazy in the '80s too. It's hard to say who kicked off "logo mania" but RL definitely spearheaded it.
Luke is giving! The vintage GUCCI COAT! I need a piece of this collection, it’s fashion history. Gucci X Balenciaga is something that’ll be in the MET just for how historic this is. 🤍
Okay, I have a confession; I don't get fashion. When I was younger, I thought high-end brands like Chanel, Gucci, LV were revolutionary like they came up with designs that would change the fashion world and the common masses who couldn't afford those brands would steal those designs; their prices were justified not only by the materials they used to make those statement pieces but also the creativity/vision. These days I feel like these brands just stamp their logo on some basic designs and the price can somewhat be justified by the material, not the creativity.
Yeah, but how do you change the fashion world every six months when almost everything amd anything has been invented, tried and even worn by people? It's kind of impossible. It was way different 50-100 years ago when you could be a revolutionary by putting women in pants.
@@girlwhomustnotbenamed4139 Then perhaps they should stop putting on fashion shows every six months? It's often neglected how much carbon footprint the fashion industry has, especially these high-end brands. Putting on shows, for example, once a year would also increase the enthusiasm people have for their ideas, not just the logo. Also, I think it was also previously mentioned on this channel that giving designers such a short period of time hinders their creativity.
HEYY I was waiting for you to see this collection! Since you said multiple times fun colourful equestrian I wanted to say something that may interest you! Looking at it by myself I couldn't stop thinking at the clothing and patterns of the Palio di Siena that is a tradition of Siena a city near Firenze ( as you know one of the most, if not the most important city for Gucci). Is a horse competition and the traditional flags and clothing are so colorful and every pattern of this collection reminded me of it. I really think that Alessandro Michele might have references to it since it's a pretty important thing in Italy this Palio! Check it out! ❤️
@@hautelemode YES for sure! As an Italian I love this kind of reference. Also the pattern on the boots and on the bags reminded me the marble stone of the Firenze cathedral and bell tower😍 I'm so glad you saw my comment and not just liked it but also responded. I've learned a lot from you (way more that from some of my fashion professors lol) and if there's something I can tell you that you might didn't know I'm happy to do that! Thanks for your passionate content❤️
This is the first time I've seen your channel. This video was recommended to me. I'm glad you actually know your stuff rather rather coming in as someone who has very basic knowledge just going "ewwww branding" so I'm happy to see an educated take on this
...I don’t understand the collab., but wholeheartedly agree with the review - and yes: we need a review of that earlier Balenciaga collection, 👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly had my doubts (confused) at the beginning, but going thru the comments listening, and understanding. I just really love the concept and like allot sickenin nice pieces hahal
i know how passionate luke is about pronouncing designers' names correctly and i'm from georgia. sooo... demna is pronounced as d-eh-mna ( not d-ee-mna ). i'm not trying to criticize anyone, just thought this would be helpful :^) also, love the content !!
@@gizmodrama i honestly don't know about the name of his channel, i was only talking about designers. from what i've seen he pronounces balmain, laboutin and other names the way they are supposed to be pronounced. and he has pointed out in past videos how annoying it is to see celebrities, who are sponsored by these fashion brands, mispronounce designers' names.
@@elenechkhartishvili2519 i just meant i think it is very ironic that he is vocal about this but also that his youtube channel is mispronounced french gibberish lol
If I ever become rich, I'd want you to be my stylist. 😭😭 Love your review videos, I always learn something new about fashion history. Keep up the good work🔥🔥👌👌
You mentioned in your last Tik tok thrift flip review video that you hoped luxury brands would start using their fabric waste to create other garments, sets, bags, accessories, etc. as a sort of “official” version of the thrift flips individuals are doing themselves online. I found that an absolutely fascinating idea, and I’d like to think the mashup, “hacking” styles in this show are a great potential step (at least ideology-wise) in that “thrift flip” direction for luxury fashion. Here’s hoping!🤞
Hacking means Allesandro was purposely and cheekily taking ideas from Balenciaga to put his own twist on it....as in hacking a site on the computer to whisk away it’s “proprietary” things. I think AM wants to show how we all usurp ideas (good intentions or bad) and how we should HAVE FUN! I also believe he nods to his muse, Harry Styles, with the anatomical heart purse since HS has a large tattoo on his left upper arm of such heart.
The idea of wearing the knife-boot option in black with a coordinated suit would be my dream outfit. One query: @16:19 a white rabbit means...? Maybe an anti-hunting reference? I know that fox hunting with the local rich people on horseback(with rabbit as the bait) used to be acceptable, but really not sure of the bunny's role in this collection. A fantasy outfit that I LOVED but would never ever wear, is the floral suit @24:05.
I think the lace may be alessandro referencing himself for his first show when he had like a week to make it and used lots of lace especially in the menswear that laid the foundation for the gucci we know and sometimes love today
*I am always wondering what you're wearing* I love how extra but minimal your outfit is 🖤 (considering this preference I'm not sure why I am watching a Gucci/Balenciaga video)
Do you think that a non fashion person, who doesn’t get historical fashion references, but loves to buy luxury for hype, would have gotten the “hacking” of Balenciaga without the obvious elements (Balenciaga written on top of the Gucci logo). Because at first I was like, this looks like the bootleg jumper that you can get with all the logos on top, but then I was like, are they appealing to the “hype” costumer that only goes as far as Balenciaga sock shoes and won’t get the more sutil references? Would it have been a more interesting collection if the overlapping was done in a simpler, more referencial and less, I don’t know, obvious way in some pieces, or do you think that was necessary? I don’t know if I am explaining myself, but would like to hear some input on that ✨
''so dumb but I kinda love it'' is a very good description of my feelings towards a lot of gucci
My feelings towards life tbh
Me sitting here in $2 sweatpants that my dog chewed a hole in judging luxury fashion
I'm a bit more bougie - 20 eur H&M leggins, with a hole that I accidentally did myself, ready to judge items that cost more than both my kidneys!

I didn't even know this collab happened. If it wasn't for Luke's videos I would never know anything going on in the fashion world.
Fact.
Even thought this fashion is odd to me I do like to take some elements of creativity into my own thrifted wardrobe it's very fun
It’s almost like it’s an elitist world only a chosen few can truly indulge in.

I love how Luke clarifies that he's not drunk or high after giving a lot of praise😂😂😂
the full gucci outfit with the wired headphones is a mood
lol they’re the only ones that work with recordings like these!!
I love the look so much lol
Anybody else tired of “luxury” clothing just being normal clothes covered in their logo? It’s tacky imo
like....GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE LUXURY CLOTHING OF THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES.

I also believe he nods to his muse, Harry Styles, with the anatomical heart purse since HS has a large tattoo on his left upper arm of such heart.
ohhhhh i've been trying to rack my brain for the heart reference and will definitely look into that theory!
LOVE the coat!!! That red suit was Calvin Klein, though.
You said it perfectly. It’s clickbait fashion. Great and honest opinion.
Logo Mania, Gucci sure knows how to sell/push products. This show is very sellable that fashionable. 🥱🥱
It is merch. Not fashion
23:50 Luke: “if you F***, she’ll beat you with a Gucci Whip” 🤣🤣🤣
Flaubert You definitely get 2 for 1 luxury combo. They so desperate! 😅

The idea of wearing the knife-boot option in black with a coordinated suit would be my dream outfit. One query: @16:19 a white rabbit means...? Maybe an anti-hunting reference? I know that fox hunting with the local rich people on horseback(with rabbit as the bait) used to be acceptable, but really not sure of the bunny's role in this collection. A fantasy outfit that I LOVED but would never ever wear, is the floral suit @24:05.
Love this video..can you do more of these and who was ur favourite Gucci designer..mine is Tom Ford
I think the lace may be alessandro referencing himself for his first show when he had like a week to make it and used lots of lace especially in the menswear that laid the foundation for the gucci we know and sometimes love today
*I am always wondering what you're wearing* I love how extra but minimal your outfit is 🖤 (considering this preference I'm not sure why I am watching a Gucci/Balenciaga video)
"You have to be in the know-go to logo" just made me yell at my laptop screen today
Fun Fact, the bamboo used for the bag handles was taken from the central river in Florence (because there was a shortage of leather as you said)
Do you think that a non fashion person, who doesn’t get historical fashion references, but loves to buy luxury for hype, would have gotten the “hacking” of Balenciaga without the obvious elements (Balenciaga written on top of the Gucci logo). Because at first I was like, this looks like the bootleg jumper that you can get with all the logos on top, but then I was like, are they appealing to the “hype” costumer that only goes as far as Balenciaga sock shoes and won’t get the more sutil references? Would it have been a more interesting collection if the overlapping was done in a simpler, more referencial and less, I don’t know, obvious way in some pieces, or do you think that was necessary? I don’t know if I am explaining myself, but would like to hear some input on that ✨
He read it somewhere on a book guys !
im really not even mad. gucci really surprised me with this collection.
I see a lot of YSL references from 70’s suiting to the stars motif - given both brands ownership and the Tom Ford connection it’s not surprising...
This just might be my fav video of yours :D
I'd rather have a detailed review later...I like when you go into details!
when I saw this collection I thought the same thing...logo nightmare
You should react to Harry Styles's "Live on Tour" suits and outfits!!!! I wanna hear you opinions. :)
"he's like, a, uh, homosexual if you will"
lmao i love this channel so damn much
Don’t have to qualify so much IMO i wouldn’t have noticed the difference between a review or react you are so knowledgeable
