I'm not sure if anyone has told you, but your descriptions are so friendly for the vision-loss audience. You describe each piece so well, that I can imagine each piece without looking at them.
I’m commenting here in hopes that Luke sees it. Please do a review of Celine’s storage clothing in her movie I am Celine. It’s insane. I was almost crying. I would love to just go stand there and look at everything 😭
I think the Ariana/Audrey Hepburn reference is from the film Funny Face. There's a famous scene with Audrey exactly where Ariana is now wearing a similar, but black, dress. The film also opens with, "Think Pink" which also ties into Glinda.
Ok on the explanation/short rant Luke had to give at the beginning of this video- how crazy that some weirdos came into the comments section of the first Olympics video just to say that talking about the fashion… of the opening ceremony looks… at the PARIS Olympics… is pointless?? Like what? But it reminded me, I was rambling about the opening ceremony athlete looks to my straight, cis bf, who doesn’t really have a hyperfixation on fashion like I do. And I apologized at one point for ranting about it for so long, getting self conscious about it and saying something along the lines of “I know it’s the Olympics and it (the fashion) doesn’t really matter-“ and he cut me off and said, “No! It’s art! And the opening ceremony is the opportunity for each country to really show out, and display their pride for their country and their culture/values in a very symbolic and beautiful way. That’s important.” He’s a big sports guy, but also a big fan of the arts, so it’s a great example of how appreciation of both can coexist in a person. It was really validating. Take notes, weirdos who left those disparaging comments lol! And other fashion girlies, don’t let those negative comments get you down! How people dress themselves *can* be really important, even at places most people wouldn’t expect, like sporting events.
I want to see Calvin Klein take a crack at it because they are one of the few houses that have the resources and the expertise in both sportswear and tailoring.
If they had gone with TB, it would have been fashion forward America, if they went with CK, it would have been sexy America, MK, it would have been classic but not WASP America, or even Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, but sadly, RL, WASP America AGAIN.
In defense of Pharrell he wasn’t just “being casual”… he was an Olympic torch bearer and has been using the whole week to get his own PR off of that and preview pieces from his new adidas collab, including while running the torch - ergo, the intentional “runner off-duty” vibe
@@aliasmarg8ta127 That was my grandmother's wedding dress in 1959, although hers was handmade by family members. But you don't need a wedding to own the dress of your dream
I watch everything you produce. You balance wit, irony, honesty and a deep design intelligence. thank you for all your efforts. you're a delight. xx liz
Celine was lip syncing to pitch corrected prerecorded vocals. Stiff Person Syndrome is progressive. It would be impossible for her to sing the entire song like that. But, the fact that she was able to record the song, even if it was just one small part at a time, and appear at the opening ceremonies was impressive, especially because the rain was torrential that night, and that weather can aggravate her symptoms.
@@Terri_MacKay there had been no in-dept research done on this disease until she got it so while we know it's likely incurable, she's kind of proving it's very manageable. Diabetes was a death sentence until insulin was discovered less than 100 years ago. Diabetes is still incurable, but people live long, normal lives thanks to insulin. she wasn't lip syncing.
@@flerrrrrrrrrrrp2997I know what I know about the disease from a doctor friend. It is certainly manageable, but it never improves, and if she was unable to sing 2 years ago, it would be impossible for her to sing like this now. The disease just doesn't work like that. The disease is progressive, which means that there is never any improvement. Someone may stabilise for a while, but will eventually start to deteriorate again. There is no treatment for the disease in particular, all doctors can do is manage the symptoms as well as they can. But, since those symptoms include muscle spasms, especially in the trunk of the body where the diaphragm is located, singing like this would be impossible. As I said, it's admirable that she was even able to record it in small phrases. This isn't a comparable disease to diabetes, since it doesn't affect the body in the same way. I know that Celine fans desperately want her to have sung live at the opening ceremonies, but her performance has been proven objectively to be lip synced. Singing like this just isn't possible for her anymore. Watch "Was Celine Dion singing live at the Olympics? Let's check it out" plus the video immediately following it on the Wings of Pegasus channel. Absolutely no question that the performance wasn't live. And I'm not criticising Celine when I say that. The fact that she was there at all is inspiring.
what do people expect from your channel if not commentary on clothing? 😂 so confused!!! Dior really showed up for Celine's dress, she looked ethereal and majestic! (the location probably helped too! stunning visuals all around) I enjoyed the ceremony so much tbh, it was just so French, reminding us all that France is a messy b*tch of a country- people complain about the french protests now, but for france they're actually very sedate when they're just setting things on fire rather than storming fortresses, beheading everyone *and* setting things on fire
The opening ceremony was fantastic! I don't think any Olympic committee could ever beat that opening, with the boats filled with athletes on the Seine instead of just marching into a stadium.
Yes, let them hold their breath and wait! WHY would anyone complain about you talking about the fashion...haven't they a clue as to what your channel is??!! Its like...🙄 some people. Anyway, love love love it, love it all. As always. Mwah
I am confused by the people who say you should not be covering fashion - this is a fashion channel! If they want coverage of the sports, they can watch any TV channel in the world. We come to you for fashun and snark, and you deliver every time.
This is the most patriotic I felt in years seriously and Luke is representing the American modern man of fashion. Ideally, I’m obsessed. I’m gagged. I’m dying. I’m dead. I resurrected. I’m back. I’m in love again and repeat.❤
On Celine Dion’s gown - I think that the train starting at the shoulders is referencing the Robe a la Francaise which was part of French Court dress in the 18th century.
Actually, I could NOT think of anything MORE stupid than clicking on a FASHION channel and being miffed the topic is FASHION. Do you, Luke. You are MUCH appreciated ❤💅
Luke you look amazing! And, I will say again bringing us current and exciting expert commentary and compilation of the Olympic - fashion, showing up at the events!
As a sport lover, I love your idea. This covers other elements around or in the Olympics as it reflects and celebrates other elements of art but until recently wasn’t described or covered until social media was born. Anyway, yea like your vids lol
Trivia: Both the US & French flags are of the same colors, the Americans refer to their colors as the Red, White & Blue, whereas the French refer to their own as the Blue, White & Red.
Love all your videos, talking about fashion at the Paris Olympics makes perfect sense and anytime there's a new Haute LeMode video about anything, I'm in. Wish you'd do one on the Bridgerton series fashions, that would be fun. Thanks for your insights, looking forward to more!
I love all of your fashion reviews. You are extremely knowledgeable with a bit of humour. I agree with your take on fashion 99% of the time. You need a show like Joan Rivers had.
I love this channel as it gives such brilliant insight into fashion history and how it influences today's styles. It also makes me realize how absolutely boring my own style is. Yikes.
Luke is at the end of the table calling us all to an important meeting ✏️👠 I feel under dressed! The cut out of beyonce’s back was odd.. like all the rings had a white background.. feels like a background for a text.
Anthony Vaccarello is just pissed that Gaga is a huge Hedi Slimane fan, and that she wears his clothes instead of Vaccarello’s. (which he blatantly copies from Slimane) . 🤷🏽♂️
Off topic a little.... Luke, you look so good in black and in this outfit particularly! I looked at you as much as I the looked at the celebrity outfits. Hopefully I'm not being creepy.
I think in art there is always "inspiration" - as long as you make it your own. Go ahead. I paint and make my own dresses and it is more than often just paintings that I liked and made into dresses
I am absolutley OBSESSED with Ariana's look. Not her. But those shoes 🤩 Cynthia looks like an absolute jewel. Not gonna lie I even like Anna's mary poppins dress
