Mosaert is Stromae’s own brand (it’s an anagram of his name) that he and his wife created together I believe!! I read in another comment somewhere that she was the one who came up with this look for him (no source though). Love love love him, not many people got to see his look, so I’m really glad you touched on it in your video here!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if she did!! He almost always credits her as being the true designer of the brand. I adore the brand almost as much as I do him, so I was SO glad to see he was attending the Met IN Mosaert! I also love that it too ties in to his performance costumes/outfits for this era as far as the general silhouette, frills, and details.
I literally stopped the video there to come here and comment this, but I'm so glad you already did! Stromae with his music and style and performative art deserves all the attention
I'm so glad you appreciated Riz Ahmed's look. Interesting how such a subtle, understated outfit can hit the hardest and carry the loudest and most important message in a sea of extravagant, over-the-top gowns.
Its so crazy to me how almost everyone (Ms. Anna Wintour included) just completely ignores the theme. Especially in 2022, when we have so many historical reference right at at our fingertips, litterally. No excuse!! Next year they should just forego the theme all together and emphasize that the met is a costume party... so wear a costume, make it high fashion, avant guarde. Theme is... Anything Goes!
I’m so glad you’re talking about Ms. Chasinghorse!!! I love her message and style, and I want her and her message to get more attention - she’s lovely and so poised for her young age, and I feel like she didn’t get the attention she deserved last year. Thank you for talking about her and giving the background of her look the time it warrants. Her dress is also from a sustainable brand and she sourced the eagle feathers from several Native American folks, along with the meaning you mentioned with the necklace
Sophie Turner should have gotten someone to make her a maternity corset, which was a thing. It would have been super cool and educational for those outside the Victorian age pregnancy clothing loop.
That would have been amazing but the crowd who think corsets are torture find out maternity corsets existed they bottle down a thousand times more on their point even thought they are wrong
@@tabc6870 did you do any research at all before making this comment? Or did you just hear the words maternity and corset together and go "no that sounds uncomfortable"
@@cutiepiebb I’m aware you’re a troll. I’d just like to say that you should look up what an “idiom” is. You’re mad at idioms strewn together because you can’t understand them. That’s weird
@@kirstenmcculloch3008 you could look up video essays or theses on the discourse of drag/queer language and race. Black queer men and trans women “created” the culture you see on rupaul’s or at pride festivals, but they got it from black women. But the winners-which would be the white patriarchy then further the general patriarchy to include black men(misogynoir)-get to tell history, so most ignore the contribution of black women. If you don’t believe the discourse on it, go on black twitter for a day and see how long it takes for some new idiom created by a black woman to become mainstream.
Quannah Chasinghorse's dress was torquoise and silver which was a reference to native jewelry of the SW, so I think it was as on theme as the necklace....Hard to imagine which designer in the afterlife was more disappointed in the met gala: Halston last year or McQueen this year...y'all Luke is right. It would have been so easy...
For Sophie Turner, I feel like there was a missed opportunity to turn the baby bump into a bustle on the front of the dress instead of the back! It could have been so cool! I hate that designers seem to think because a woman is pregnant that her dress needs to be super boring instead of seeing it as an opportunity to do something creative.
okay but why are my top three looks from part four all "Men's" suiting lol huge props to Thomas Dougherty, Stromae and Yahya Abdul-Mahteen II you look regal and joyous but most importantly you are on theme. 10/10 You can come again. Shoutout to Riz and Quannah too!!
Looking foward to the year when Luke will be simply explaining and expanding on the references that the lewks will be bringing to the Met Gala instead of digging deep to find some faint links to the theme.
Yes get that VPN coin 💅 I know you were over the met gala but I’ve really enjoyed this 4 part series and I loved the theme explanation video you did too
I was watching the carpet live and after so many disappointments I almost teared up when I saw Thomas Dougherty in the background, he looked so stunningly on theme👌
Hey love! I love how you went into the thoughtful references and history behind Quannah chasinghorse and Riz Ahmed outfits maybe could go back to Ashton Sanders again cause he was referencing the Buffalo soldiers of the gilded age. Which was really import to the black Community. Love you videos!
bravo Luke! you did it! all gazillion of those off theme bustle-less designer nightmares mixed in with about 10 looks that had something to do with what we were supposed to be doing. seems to me that the designers feel like the celebrities work for them and not the other way around. incredible how many of them could not bear to veer off into the theme. maybe the theme is just hopeless. i’m awed by the depth and breadth of your knowledge, thank you.
You comes across as a person with such deep decency. Also very knowledgeable in your chosen topic. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m really enjoying it, thank you
That was a lot of video viewing matched with historical research. Thank you. I know there are more critical events happening on our globe, but I do enjoy a Met Gala moment...especially fun to see which stylists and designers did their "homework" regarding the theme.
Temana Taylor's Van Herpen dress reminds me of IRIS blooms. STUNNING all around ~ from the head jewelry to the shoulder/sleeve sculpting - THIS is fashion!
Most of the women were off-theme and freaky, but the men had no excuse, tons of fashion plates exist for 1870-1910, why not use them? Still furious about the Monroe dress fiasco.
The wire closures on a corset is called a busk! Stiff metal bars are sewn between the fabric and lining, one side has “ nobs” the other has flat metal loops which lock over the nobs. There is probably grommeted lacing in the back to be cinched in forming a fitted waist. Love all the “ burlesque” references stretching to make some of the outfits “ sort of on theme!”😂
YES!! FINALLY! You've heard and answered my comment prayers of what YOU would wear!! And you answered perfectly 🥰 I'm always intrigued to know what / whose collection you'd wear to what event and if I had to pick just one to get your opinion on it'd definitely be the met. THANK YOU! Love your content!
Haha I loved the amount of credit you tried to give MKBHD, but he talked on his channel about how he literally was just doing Matte-black everything, which is a personal style... choice/prefence he has. He certainly could have done a matte black on theme look, but i believe he got his invite about 2 weeks before the Gala, so not really that much time.
According to an art documentary, Madame X DID have one of her chain straps falling down over her shoulder, but only one, and Sargent was soon compelled to repaint the strap. Too bad this dress didn't have the detail of one strap up; it might have been more convincing as being inspired by the painting.
Disappointed that no one went for steampunk aesthetic - deeply anchored in late 19th century and early 20th fashion. Elements of industrial development of the time would have blended seamlessly, and the theme calls for metallic motifs with incredible craft and detail… It was an opportunity to bring fantasy to life (and I learned from this series that costume parties were a thing) and I would have just loved to see it!
Ah so refreshing to hear people speak their mind, thank you. In the Godley's Ladies Book from that period has many macrame patterns for room dividers, curtians and many other home decor items. So it was around but not in clothing so much.
Luke I think you should include Indian celebrities too for example Natasha poonawalla's outfit was a chef's kiss and she perfectly followed gilded glamour theme.....
Thomas Doherty, oh my! 🥰 There isn't a single aspect of his look that I didn't love. Throw in a walking cane and he would've been straight out of The Age of Innocence.
As far as I’m concerned, Native Americans absolutely do not have to follow a theme about their colonisers. (Although thinking about how the upper class of the Gilded Age would have absolutely freaked out seeing Quannah is hot soup to the soul.)
In the original Madame X painting, one of the straps was down! But it was so scandalous, she had it painted over to have the strap sitting on the shoulder.
That MJ jacket is so good on you. My favorite thing of anything you’ve worn on here. That particular Marc show was so damn good. Love your videos so much. Thank you!
The "wire" closures on the corsets are called Busks, specifically a two piece steel Busk. From memory they were invented in the early 1800's and made it significantly simpler for a woman to dress herself.
thanks you for talking abt this batch! literally everyone says only billie ‘followed the theme’ but i thought other people did as well, and even looked good while doing it! (normani and sza 🥵)
I love your videos, even though I know nothing about the technicalities of fashion. Also, don't know how you're going take this but it just hit me that if Kurt Hummel was a real person and had a RU-vid, it would be very reminiscent to yours. Love ya 💕.
Going back to part 1- Blake Lively had the best dress for this gilded age homage. I don’t know if you noticed- the top part of the dress was reminiscent of Tiffany stained glass - another tribute to the golden age. I do enjoy your commentary. You are entertaining and informative.
questions like...who are you, who is your team, how do you get to travel to all these shows, what do you do to relax, are you in a relationship, what do you like to eat, do you have a pet,what makes your heart sing, what music do you listen to,do you work outside of RU-vid,favorite book/movie hahahaha. sorry im obsessed, not in a pscho way...lol..im in Australia anyway so I won't be stalking you.I just just watch all your things and know so little about you,..which might be how you prefer things.But a little Luke vlog would be great!
Hi Luke! Love your videos, specially the met gala fashion review ones are so much fun to watch! I was wondering if you can do OLD Met Gala (like really old, 90s, 2000s) fashion review? For example, I think the 2001 met gala theme was Jacky Kennedy (which seems like a really interesting theme!). I really wanna watch your takes on the best and worst dresses worn that year, who followed the theme the best on that year and your reviews on other old Met galas as well. What do you think???
I feel like Luke was pretty generous to say it was a nice dress, I think it was *her* who looked stunning and her beauty was reflected on the dress. otherwise it looked like one of those cheap bridesmaid gowns that the bride force her friends to wear.
