I wish the costume institue would stop doing vertical displays in the exhibitions. How can we be expected to appreciate a garment if it’s hanging 10 feet over our heads? You’ve got his SS1983 Trompe l’oiel dress (one of his most famous) hanging where no one can even look at it properly.

@khairularchi Год назад

I believed it purposely placed only for the 'visual aesthetic' nothing else. Or maybe, doubtfully considered to be a 'historic delicate piece' of clothes.

@sterlingross919 Год назад

@@khairularchi I think it’s partly for visual aesthetic as well as for space. But I don’t see the point of having the pieces in the exhibition if you can’t properly see them. That’s why I didn’t like the camp exhibition a few years back; there was that giant room with garments stacked on top of each other that mainly existed as a room to take instagram pics in.

@jpfizzle1 Год назад

True! What’s the point of going to an art museum if they’re going to hang paintings so high up that you’re going to have neck pain afterwards?

@elijahh-r9883 Год назад

LITERALLY

@idrbn3 Год назад

Possibly "transcendental" but what do I know. Kind of elevating those designs to be aspirational or even just out of reach? Just a nobody here appreciating fashun....

Never have I ever learned this many figurative adjectives, verbs, nouns in one video, thanks Andrew.

Andrew Bolton's exquisite annotation cant be more fitting tribute to a legend that is Karl Lagerfeld

@khairularchi Год назад

Although, my hat off to all the talented and skillful seamstresses whom successfully manifested those design from a mere paper sketches into a beautiful, precise and well-made details piece of clothes.

Beautiful. Thank you for curating. I would have never seen the display, otherwise.

@ekayaniperforms Год назад

I just saw the fabulous show. Having lived and worked as a model in Paris it was a real walk down memory lane. Kudos to giving the seamstresses a voice describing what it was to create these garments. The workmanship is incredible. End of an era of the grand maisons de la mode ❤

@melissabrecht6311 11 месяцев назад

If it wasn't for Netflix and Andrew , I would have kept on not caring about fashion or the MET, or any of it. I dismissed it as over priced narcissisms, BUT Andrew helped change that!! His passion spoke to me and opened my eyes to see that fashion, made with the right vision...is actually art!!!! Each hand that made these masterpieces can be seen!! Who knew fashion could be this beautiful? You did, and Andrew did and through him he has made me a fashion fan at 46!!!

I can't keep from staring at the construction of the sets each gallery has. It seems like the most involved and creative use of space ever at the Met Gala.

@KenOrwig Год назад

I've only experienced Lagerfeld from a retail/consumer perspective with a amateur fascination for his and other fashion icons off the rack clothing. Regarding haute couture, explaining the fabrics and materials, the hours and hours of expert skills required by seamstresses and tailors to create the custom made garments, and the "story" behind the creations themselves was very enlightening.

@sarahpassell226 Год назад

Agree with others commenting here: never heard Bolton so inspired by a Costume Institute show. He just about explodes with ideas -- finding themes and thematic connections within and between collections and labels over time, as well as countless delightful contrasts, and pointing out small details that have a major impact, bringing in explanations of technique and material as well as art history -- all of them together dazzling us with an exceptionally illuminating interpretation of how these ideas play out in the arrangement of so many exceptional Lagerfeld pieces in the space.

Fashion is NOT art, fashion is entirely commercial. Yes Karl and thank you for stating that. These “designers” these days really got the biggest heads thinking they are “artists” and theyve made ugliest clothing and collections to ever exist! Can’t even name one cause it’s all of them including his successor at Chanel !

It’s intentional. Part of a paper-like look he was after.

@debrabarnhardt1103 Год назад

Less rhan one percent of people dress in anything like this. Like most modern art it is a bold and insistent message that art is for the elite class, that wink and nod at each other, while chuckling at the ape like creatures who can't possibly comprehend their rarified tastes.

@jpfizzle1 Год назад

No different than 18th century French aristocrats that wore flamboyant closing and silly powdered wigs to display their unattainable standards

@impactive3124 Год назад

he did great job at Chanel reviving old fashion house that not manu people cared in 1980s, also his designs for Fedi are amazing but let not forget that he promot animal furs a s hell at Fendi that is what Fendi was about in 1990 - FURS! Also his Karl lagarfeld brand is a great disaster. It is one of other high brands comapre with puma or adidas but not with real high fashion. They alwas advertised it like kids collection and there is literally nothing intriquing about it. I do not think anyone would buy anything from Karl Lagarfeld rather then from Boss or Ralph Lauren. He do not really had his own ID. like Mugler or Westwood who also passed away lately and had great personal visions anbd impact on in case of Vivian - impact on culture in general. There already was Chanel teamed exhibition few years ago at MET what embraced a lot of Karl of course. Why we got Karl MET this year - no idea, only Anna Wintour friendship with him could explain way.

@johnalbert5187 Год назад

Goooood uUCKING storytelling LoL

@idrbn3 Год назад

Let's not forget what the "met gala" is about. Love him or hate him I'd rather watch this than the desperate shit show of the red carpet, embarrassing vogue.

@chriswilson4112 Год назад

The clothes are great. And while the presenter does provide great insight into the clothes, it does get a bit heavy handed. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the clothes but there is a line where you feel he's talking about the shroud of Turin. No wonder "fashionistas" are criticized for being snobbish and elitist. Lagerfeld himself seemed to have had more a sense of humor and play about the clothes he designed. And could we please slow the camera pans down a bit. Jeesh. I had to keep freezing the video just to catch a decent view.

I agree entirely. I have a feeling it may have been scripted and/or word-for-word what's printed in the catalogue. Just a hunch though. I understood it perfectly but it was unnecessarily, as you say, laboured.

@Pgresham3 10 месяцев назад

I would like to see these fashions. But, the bla, bla bla of the description is tedious and distracting. Just show the clothes and save the mumbo jumbo for those who care about that. Like fashion students and other people who are going to design outfits most people will never wear. I enjoy the clothing displays, but not the gab.

@Sewingtrue100 Год назад

The most boring theme this year, time for Anna Wintour to retire.

@Julia-sw1tv Год назад

Karl upheld the establishment, the dehumanization, and the disgust found in our patriarchy. His work isn't worth ignoring this. He was a bad person. A racist, a transphobe, and fatphobic. His work did nothing but embrace his love of indoctrination and blind uniformity. He is a stone that needed to be moved out of the way of progress and I think admiring him and his work is admiring a fantasy and a symbol of patriarchal inequality.

@lees5073 Год назад

I cannot understand why you devoted about 20 minutes of your precious time to this in order to tear into a creative genius and label him a racist, transphobic, fatphobe(?) terrible person who upheld the Establishment through conformity. Surely you have more important things to attend to.
