Perhaps the fashion industry is still in denial that the Dior factory scandal is a major catalyst for the public's realisation about the illusory value of overpriced designer items. The likes of Tanner Leatherstein who has been exposing for years the luxury houses' purse shenanigans must have been waking up fashion consumers.
Along with people realizing that only poor people wear designers, especially obnoxious designs, while quiet luxury is doing better than obnoxious designs, it's still not a boom, Even top labels reps have came out saying they depend on poor people, while alot of people with money have no need for that, that's how they save their money, along with not wanting to be associate with the people who's pretending to have money or status, and the rich rather wear cheap quality clothing, and custom designs, along with underground brands that's different with quality
They are trying to evince a fake-looking imitation "strong slave-maid vibe" with that touch of "Voodoo secretary" ...a little too late, and people are NOT buying this new-found superficial love for colonials in a late cellophane wrapping...because it is simply feigning for more ill-got resources. Mal du ciecle at it's most obvious.
Honestly this is so interesting because, in the city amongst show goers, fashion students, stylist, photographers, the city in general we felt like it was the best in a while. There was a buzz in the city, so many young designers, it just rubbed off on the city even the parties were better this year lolll
@@jonnyfendi2003 yes, but thats the case with every business that you need to drive, the excitement is always followed by existential topics, but sometimes thats ok, its just how it goes
Wow, my reply was a mess. I will try to fix it. I intended ot to be directed to someone else in the comments. I’m stuck in limbo in London, a city “you gave some love to” here or in another recent video… hmmm. I suppose if fashion is made in London or street style at times interesting (saw some boots on a sales associate, and took photos… I told her literally she and her style remind me of you, Tuba). She, Mikaela, who’ll be haunting you in the best way too, I think, was fashionable/stylish (but name-“designer” store where I met her, not so much). Nothing works in the UK, rn. Phone calls drop… it’s like infrastructure of NYC circa 1999. You were barely alive then.
I think it’s hard for NYC to compete with some European cities because there really isn’t that much governmental support. The US sponsors do decent marketing, but it can be hard in every other aspects
I like the video 😊best parts were that lace is coming back- I will wear my lace zimmerman cream top for work this week with black wool trousers(menswear); and, see you next week?! 🎉yes!! Loving this part!! 😊
Ralph Lauren is preppy, not street style. NYFW was amazing.The inclusion of black fashion was apparent and in abundance. More can be done of course but I was looking for more spotlight on black fashion creatives and NYFW did a better job than previously.
Re: jewel tones, I love chartreuse and I'm writing this here to manifest more pieces available in this color from everyday fashion brands. Edit: I just listened to the part about the change in Tory Burch - so glad someone explained it to me. When I read that Alexa Chung walked for them this season, I couldn't understand why she would chose a boring brand like that. Didn't realize their fashion had changed.
Proenza has shown at least twice in Paris. I was in NYC when it was poppin' (As Four, Miguel Adrover, Dugg, ORFI, Susan Cianciolo, Bruce, Daryl K, Benjamin Cho, United Bamboo, Imitation of Christ), myself, Bernadette Corp., and the list goes on. NYC was on FIRE with emerging and young talent. We need that moment back, but in current form. And I agree with you, I don't care about Tommy or Ralph (BORING)! NYC needs edge again, we need a movement!
I know its harder with the current state, but I sense that people crave a lot more authenticity after years of bombardment by empty high luxury brands, so we can still dream of better days to come
Diotima is Caribbean American, by the way, and she pushes it as part of her identity a lot. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love it when the sensibilities of the global south get more attention.
they deserve it so bad, its just too good! and carribeans have influenced a lot of the fashion space currently, like Wales Bonner or Martine Rose' background
@@tubaavalonI think that the term “streetwear” connotes more of black culture than white. Although Ralph/Tommy are what I typically wear “on the street” aka grocery shopping, it certainly has none of the flair or cool factor of brands that stem from hip hop or skateboarding culture.
I worked at Ralph Lauren for many years, so I have a lot of his clothes, they’re timeless and good quality, now I do mix it with new pieces that I acquire, his new show was done beautifully 17:34 17:42
