Luxury Fashion Is NOT The Same For Rich VS Poor! 

I don't know if it's worth buying anything from Gucci, Channel or other similar brands. At that price, you can get something custom made that's of superior quality.

Accepting one’s own class and helping each other within said class is smarter than competing against each other and pretending to be rich.

Nothing about luxury is exclusive, all you need is money. They don't care if its inherited or credit card debt.

As a millennial, this whole luxury discussion has been evolving my entire life. When I was a kid, before fast fashion and "luxury branding" became a thing, nobody was buying luxury (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Gucci etc) other than people who had a LOT of money. Perhaps they were old money or new money but they were actually rich. Not just upper middle class, but rich enough to live in "mansions" or go to exotic vacations twice a year. Now, I see young kids, not even teenagers, from lower income families talking about how they want to buy luxury. Social media have certainly played a part, but I also think that the fact that fast fashion made clothing completely "worthless" in many ways has definitely contributed to how luxury is regarded. No actual rich person would talk about "an investment bag" because they have actual investments that make them millions.

I’m glad you mentioned that the wealth have their clothes custom made…as a college student, I worked in a luxury fabric store and saw this firsthand.

No logos for me, quiet quality is my luxury. Real quality has no reason to be loud

These fashion houses have to stop hating on the working class. If they want loyalty then they have to stop being condescending.

Poor people who buy luxury keep them from accumulating real wealth. Agree totally. Logo clothing is low class to me. Quiet luxury is my mantra.

I think there's some confusion. Good quality should be the goal. Why would that be a ''Luxury"? Those who buy for status will never understand real quality and what to look for in an item.

Buying Louis Vuitton to show that you are not poor is ironic to the extreme as Louis Vuitton himself started his steamer trunk business as a homeless street urchin.

In Succession, the Roy’s would actually be considered “new money.” The Pierces are “old money.”

i LOVE that sucession always appears on these stealth wealth/old money videos... and they are super new money! the patriarch is a hick from rural australia!

I wear and buy what makes me feel good . Period 😊

They may not own houses but own luxury items??? …. Time to think of investing in the future.

Luxury is something you want and don't need. It should be something you want yourself, not something you buy to keep up with others. It should be something that has a personal meaning to you.

Logos are for nouveau riche and quiet luxury is for old money(generational wealth). At least that’s the impression I get. People born into wealth just don’t think about trying to appear wealthy. They don’t need to prove anything cuz they’ve known they’re wealthy their whole lives. People who grew up poor or middle class like to show their labels and logos to look rich cuz deep down they still feel poor or middle class.

watching your video, i just remembered being a child, seeing a t-shirt, saying "i want that", turning to see the the back, a giant logo there, and me going "ew!" a lifetime of quiet luxury ahahahahah

The thing is, at least for me, at what point is it enough? I have a pretty solid collection of high end handbags, shoes and ready-to-wear. I opted for timeless designs whenever possible because at this price point I don't want that stuff to look dated. So most of it doesn't have a giant logo on it and if it comes with a logo it's a design that's been around for quite some time, like the Fendi baguette. That said, from this year on I try to focus on experiences again, meaning travel or visiting a great restaurant, a concert etc. I love my luxe pieces a lot and I still have some items on my wishlist but no more bags. You only ever wear one at a time, anyway.

Hermes to name one, also makes a lot of no-brand/logo stuff in super bad quality, thing 90`s nylon fashion, is not always "high price = quality".

I personally hate labels on items. I will not be a walking billboard. I think the brand name on items is tacky

I buy everything from Uniqlo to vintage to all the minimalist brands and micro brands. I don’t really think about buying things from Gucci or Balenciaga just because they’re the designers of the moment I want to buy quality fabric with quality fit quality construction from a reputable brand for a decent price pointthat still can last. That’s all.

I feel like if you need a logo to show your worth, deep down, you don't feel very worthy. I have a thing for handbags(like most women) I will spend stupid money on a bag, yet I drive a Jeep Rubicon. I have an Audi too, but I reach for my Jeep keys 80% of the time because it's fun! I buy the bags for me . They don't define me and I don't buy them to show that I have done well. We've reached 114 Trillion dollars in credit card debt in America. That is a problem. That tells me that there are a lot of folks living above their means. I think you answered the why very well.

I was wearing a Gucci jacket that had 0 logos; someone who knows style asked me if I like Gucci. I was surprised but some people can tell.

Honestly, quiet luxury isn’t anything new. However. Don’t be fooled into thinking that wealth doesn’t show wealth and that they completely abandon logos, because they don’t. They’re just not obnoxious with it. Speaking of. Im getting tired of luxury brands getting rid of their embroidered sigils. I like a little embroidered sigil on my shirts and pants, Especially if the brands mascot is a cute animal. But I love embroidery, that’s just my personal style

Good content indeed. And allow me to express my two cents. I'm not drawn to luxury brands at all. While I have a comfortable income and could easily afford them, they simply don't hold much appeal to me. Aside from a few upscale business casual pieces I occasionally use at work, I don't feel the need for logos or quiet luxury in my life. I use my funds elsewhere. What baffles me is the tendency of people to look down on those who do enjoy logos, to prove what, that they know better? Everyone should have the freedom to spend their money on what brings them joy, without facing judgment. I firmly believe in the principle of people minding their own business. It's disheartening to see that this principle seems to have been forgotten by society ;(

Wealth is quiet, rich is loud. Just as class isn’t demanding, entitlement…well we know😉

I love loud flashy but logoless clothes and must restrain myself. A nice bag or two feels good.

I am not rich but I have NEVER bought a branded item. I have bought luxury brands, but have never bought anything that had brands stamped over it. I recieved an MK tote as a gift once and I never wear it in public.

Luxury brands are not fooling anyone, people like to fool themselves. 80-90% of items on runway shows go into production, and ANYONE can purchase them, you can just call the store, ask for appointment, come, see models presenting these clothes to demonstrate how clothes are intended to fit, and that try them on yourself. Each brand has in-store stylist who would adjust existing looks to your taste and suggest you accessories like bags, jewellery, etc. No one is hiding runway shows from lower class folks, these videos are not hidden . Anyone can watch latest Louis Vuitton collections and if you have enough money, purchase total looks from them. Those are just expensive clothing brands, nothing more, nothing less. Rich people are not there gatekeeping brands and looks from you, nothing is hidden.

I was watching a posting concerning luxury design houses and queuing to enter the shop ..... I was stunned. I have never queued - I have always had a phone call inviting me, made an appointment, and upon arrival they have my coffee ready for me (I don't drink alcohol). I asked one of my sales advisers ...... She explained that only one in ten people who queue actually purchase - many are there to sneak photographs for social media. And there are different designs

As a fashion lover, yes luxury fashion is for all people. You cannot afford it, buy the vintage or preloved one. Not fakes. But ngl sometimes fakes looks so real that it is easier to buy fake

Doesn't this whole chanel promote luxury goods to the lower and middle class?

What happened to just using and buying luxury items just because you like the design, quality and aesthetics it offers? You don't always buy luxury for status reasons. I personally buy luxury when I can and only because I like the aesthetics, as I don't find the same aesthetics and quality in supermarkets, fast fashion stores or markets. Not everyone buys luxury to show off ostentatiously, but rather to use something they know will last a lifetime of use. Furthermore, personal expression and identity are important. Creativity is also important. I disagree that wearing some logos when we are dressed in casual clothes every day is a poor thing. Even rich people wear logos when they wear casual clothes. Obviously I'm not talking about t-shirts with a big logo saying "gucci", "louis vuitton", "prada" or "versace". Even that I find in bad taste and tacky. But using, for example, a Louis Vuitton monogram or travel bag because you need it, is not at all poor. For example: when you go to a wedding or more formal event, the idea is to be elegant, refined and the clothes just speak for themselves. It's a matter of discretion and respect. It´s tacky to wear logo everywhere. Some logos are ok but with discretion, but no logos is a plus! Using logos on a daily basis it´s a different thing and has nothing to do with being poor. Luxury houses are not to blame for tasteless people misusing their pieces.

I figured that out at some point. I remember thinking, I'm not paying more money, for the privilege of being a walking billboard. I always choose things with minimal branding. Wearing logos or buying things just for the brand or name is so cheap. Also, a lot of things you buy with that name are inferior products. They simply sell their licensing but just about anyone can make cheap clothes and put that branding on it.

I love this channel! i love the content and reading the comments. everyone is like so relatable and down to earth!❤

thought of the day: not everyone who wears big logos is trying to prove something - some people are just tacky.

I live in Atlanta, GA where designer brands reign. Several luxury brands have stores in two malls that happen to sit across the street from each other. I always look at who carries what brand of handbag and if it is authentic or counterfeit - as the latter is rampant. I find it interesting to see who is toting an opening price point handbag and who is toting something in a higher price point. Also, there is aspirational and inspirational tiers with many brands regarding handbags being made of cloth, different leathers and exotic materials. The bolder and bigger logo driven styles ranging from accessories and clothing to shoes and handbags are status quo here. I’ve been in a particular store known for their luggage and steamer trunks where I witnessed a woman pull a wad of cash from her bra as she peeled off hundred dollar bills to purchase one of their coveted handbags. This is who they cater to now. Classless people dressed as if they’re at Walmart buying toilet paper and dog food.

As far as bags are considered I buy mostly for the design whether it’s from a luxury brand or a contemporary brand or anything that I feel suits me! I am a complete bag lover n I think quality, design n to some extent branding matters as some of the big brands do have beautiful designs . I think a balance between luxury n contemporary brands is a good one n also some unique n local designs that belong to a particular country or culture are also great for variety! Do I feel good owing a luxury brand?… I’ll be honest yes to some extent it does make me happy but if it’s ridiculously priced then maybe not! And this level is different for everyone out there!💕

Rich people areT NOT a monolith. There are flamboyant people who like a bold out their outfit, maybe with logo, maybe just some other way. And some people dont like to be clowns. Everyone likes different things. Im getting tired of this idea that I should avoid anything with a logo.

Any given day you will see several thousand dollar coats on a NYC bus.... Especially in the BRONx😂

A famous Italian designer, who I worked for once said to me. It’s the man that make the clothes, not the clothes that make a man. The difference between the education of the old money to the new money.

I made about 75% my clothes. The garments fit me like a second skin and made from very good quality fabrics. I sew with a lot of haute sewing techniques. Compared to luxury off the rack, mine is superior. I don't go after quiet luxury or conspicuous logos. My high quality leather bags usually come from small independent shops and my limit is $250. I do have a Birkin dupe my that I had made for me and the inside has good pockets and a keychain leash that prevents a black hole. On the back outside there is a zip pocket. The original isn't too practical but mine is. Some things I buy are from Walmart and some from thrift stores and some from Sears. My stretch chinos from Walmart are from the men's section and the fabric is sturdier. They have REAL pockets and the fabric resists fading. After 4 ears, they still look great and haven't worn yet. Fabric I shop for carefully and most are remnants, clearance and mill ends. This is about 65-90% less than original retail. I control the quality. I buy higher quality thread to sew with. My button up shirts are between 7-11 years old and still look nice. I don't dress to impress myself and my style ranges from Goth to Punk to business professional. Accessories are what dress the clothes up or down. I'm going older disgracefully 😊.

Yep...i learned this the hard way. I was just another deludenoid. Still am sometimes. I have to really stop and think because the marketing is laid on THICK and its really really good. Edit - totally agreed. Its an illusion. Believing in it just causes more problems.

It is always sad to see a MK bag. That is almost luxury, and someone spent money on it.

I couldn't help but noticed you used a clip of a black owned luxury handbags, while explaining counterfeits. It may have been an oversight, but I just thought to point that out for a nod and a correction to the owner

Loud logos are just tacky af!!

What about luxury cars though? Their logo is splattered everywhere the eye goes.

i bought my first LV item. its the coin card holder. well see how it holds up..

Luxury fashion is not the same for the rich and the poor. For the rich, luxury fashion is often about exclusive designer brands, high-quality materials, and intricate designs that are often out of reach for the average person. These individuals can afford to splurge on expensive clothing and accessories without worrying about the cost. However, for the poor, luxury fashion may simply mean having access to affordable, well-made clothing that makes them feel confident and comfortable. These individuals may not be able to afford high-end designer labels, but they still strive to dress well and express their personal style. In essence, the definition of luxury fashion differs greatly between the rich and the poor, highlighting the disparities in access to high-quality clothing and the privilege that comes with wealth. It is important to recognize and address these disparities in order to promote a more inclusive and equitable fashion industry.

I don’t do a lot of logos but I like Saint Laurent bags. Why would I exclude them because of the logo. It’s great style and quality and that counts. Also I am not old money so whatever 😂

The REAL difference between Rich & Poor is that Rich People get AN EDUCATION & don’t need TV & Film examples to explain History & Sociology to them

My bosses have a number of dress makers here in London and keep them very busy producing their seasonal and inter seasonal outfits for themselves and daughters.

My mother taught me that logos on your clothes are trashy. She was a middle class accountant. True class can not be bought.

I actually feel more comfortable carrying bags with minimal or no logo at all. Ppl either know or dont and won't judge. I tried monogram and felt so embarrassed walking everywhere, to be honest 😅

Of course its a lie Those Chanel bags in store looks like cheap bags in some Chinese store

The not rich customers would likely NOT buy the product without the logo all over it because it defeats the purpose of trying to look rich. I am not a fan of the logo in my face, with the exception of the original Chanel quilted bag with the double c's turn lock in black. That all said, I would never buy one anyway because I see these all the time on the cheesy reality tv shows. Shows where the cast of women are clearly not as wealthy as they pretend and half of them are frauds anyway, so I don't love Chanel or the other high end brands they always wear, the same as I used to. I just find it interesting that people would put themselves into so much debt to impress people they don't know with money they don't have.

Some of this is accurate, some of it is not. Things have changed so much and so quickly, because of the internet and social media none of it really matters. All anyone needs to know is that if they're not part of the 1%, they're one of bottom 99%. Spend accordingly.

I try to go for the no labels. Quiet luxury is my favorite.

Cool content

Luxury fashion has xa lot of great elements, it's too bad its not more affordable

I'm not wealthy by no means, but I stay away from logos and branding. I think I have only 1 pair of sneakers with the the Prada triangle logo riveted to the sneakers. Everything else is obscure to no branding.

Thing is the majority of people couldn't give less of a damn that youve got designer stuff

There are no lower classes. Poor way to express your thought of people.

Almost every clothing line has their lower quality/price lines to feed the masses. If people want quality over the logos then save money for the real luxury pieces. Spending money on the (nouveau riche) trash lines show people your class status to the ultra wealthy. Old money already looks down on new money so everyone else is pretty much trash. Flashy logos signify low end no matter what brand you buy. In my eyes logos are for teens who don’t know any better.

I think it’s OK to have designer things, but can you afford them? Like some people they really can’t afford them and some can so do you.

But if it keeps them broke, then it’s doing its job. They try to imitate those who have and end up, not having anything in the end, while those who have will keep it forever.

Yes… of course you don’t buy the thing with the big flashy logo, what are you, a walking advertisement? They gotta pay me for that. Always felt like this, it’s not about how much money you have, it’s about how much self esteem you have and how much of a show off you need to be.

Last night I seen a video of how hermes and other brand names was killing animals just for the leather. I love Hermès but I would rather invest then to spend all that money just for luxury. I love this company called Dasien I love their bags and I can look just as good carrying that then carrying a Hermes.

Can you link the study you talked about?

What a classest snobby thing to say! 😮 logo lovers come in all shapes and sizes and demographics.

Mostly you are not buying quality You pay for the brand

Buy quality, elegant, and classic. Know who you are. There, solved.

Very confused as to why you showed a woman’s small businesses in selling her designed bags when discussing counterfeit in 3:19. You repeatedly showed this. Why?

Almost Everyone carries LV CHANEL HERMES DIOR around in Hong Kong and we don’t see these as symbols of status AT ALL…

Luxury is not the same as taste. And taste can't be bought.

I would never wear chanel , apparently she was friendly with the nazis in ww2

What about the kardashians? do they also wear logo designs because they have no momey?

I think you got it wrong with side comment about people buying luxury goods before buying a house. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. It is incredibly difficult and expensive all over the country to rent a place let alone own so I completely understand people who feel hopeless in that regard buying something shiny to make them feel better. I don't think they are "living beyond their means" or "broke". People are just trying to survive as capitalism continues to fail us in every way. Abstaining from buying luxury goods is never going to make someone "rich" or even transcend to the next economic class no matter how much propaganda you feed them. So I say let people buy what they want with money they've earned because they are going to work until they die anyway in a "free" country they doesn't even want to raise the minimum wage.

What’s the definition ultra luxury ? I see 100 millionaires wearing logos at parties ect

Practice stealth wealth 🤫

Look at the super rich people none of them wear clothes with labels. Only poor people pretending they are rich wear clothing with logos everywhere. Eminence Front.

I never been a buyer of labels basically your paying to wear their commercial biggest scam ever this is my brother and cousins . Me I brag about how cheap I get stuff lol I rather like quality stuff I like .

They are just figuring that out??? Woow

😘

Well, that’s good for business to find lots of the idiots who are ready to pay money for the opportunity to carry their logo. That’s why the salaries of the models are not that high anymore. 😊

I don't need to wear a brands logo to prove I'm somebody. I know who I am.

It kills me that we’re still having rich vs poor talk. NO ONE CARES BUT YOU! It’s like comparing apples and oranges. Of course the rich would have different quality THEY ARE RICH! Their money is longer. Everybody knows what they are buying and NEITHER ONE CARES 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😵‍💫😵‍💫

be whole without things

If it's for the poor it's not luxury.

Luxury is for poor people who want to feel rich

I would never want to be like this at all. I think wealthy people are disgusting whether they have logos on them or not.

Wdf? I m with money I KNOW I M WITH MONEY. Wdf i would care what some peasant thinks of me whether i m rich or like them peasants? I DO NOT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK. At all. Also i think that items where the logo is large look cheap and fake. Just today i saw a woman walking in a jeans jacket with Balenciaga sign on the back. That was SOOO TACKY. i would never wear anything like that

Explain "poor" to me. What is considered "poor"

Fashion is unfortunately a lot about CLASSISM and MAINTAINING the class hierarchy! That's the power of money and influence.

I always ask the same question Is something luxury or it's just some expensive name brand? Expensive does not automaticaly mean luxury, just an illusion. What is luxury about waiting in line for some mass produced items with mid quality confection or materials? Sure expensive brands may give the sense of exclusivity but isn't it just a marketing scheme? Sure some of these major name brands started being luxury bussinesses but our hyperconsumption culture and capitalist lifestyle just turned them into something ordinary that only have the reputation of what once where, a reputation that no longer live up to.

This is all so classist and disgusting.

U r paying for their investors pockets, their lavish lifestyle , their parties, their fashion shows, their advertising, and their name thst u care so much , cus ur life is empty! 😂😂😂😂

Never wasted my money on this trash..

That’s your perspective. People wear whatever they want. You are such a Karen😂

Please warn us when you are going to show that muppet Kanye West. We should not be subjugated to his visage.
