REACTING TO FASHION TIKTOK (fashion is HEALING) 

The 'if nobody makes fun of you your outfit isn't good enough' I agree 1000%. Gotta commit 💅

The way I KNEW the fashion industry was going to drop plus sized models is so infuriating! Everyone was like “the industry is finally being inclusive” no babes they were just hoping in the “body positivity” movement like a trend & not actually adopting it. It makes me mad sad 💔

I fully agree that buying vintage fur and wearing it is fine. I recently got a mink jacket from the '60s that needs new lining which I am sourcing silk for doing that.

I always keep and wear what I have until it dies a material death. As a result, a lot of my clothing is considered classic. They are that old. And classic looking clothing is coming back in fashion. Keep it. Wear it till it dies.

I just am astonished how there's a mob wife aesthetic without a single tribute to Big Ang. I literally thought everyone was watching the mob wives again and was confused as fuck 😂😂😂

I think when most people say menswear doesn’t change much over time they’re more speaking in comparison to women’s fashion, which tends to have much more obvious shifts in silhouette and propriety

I kinda hate the idea of buying clothes as investments- like they're clothes, buy things you love enough to wear and wear again Also why would you be buying a mesh bodysuit and then worry about the resale market? idk, but if someone's worn a bodysuit I do not want to buy that second hand, there's just something so crotch centric about bodysuits that second hand gives me the ick.

Bonnie Cashin was so chic, love to see her work get recognition in the modern age

Loved the "What 15 years does to a suit" video! I love when people talk about fashion history and demonstrate what they're talking about on actual items of clothing.

Clothing literacy!! Sustainability is so important. Quality over quantity!

As a lifelong big girl, honestly the Y2K fashion coming back at the same time as fat-shaming coming back feels right. Being an overweight teenager in the early 2000s has actually scared me for life as far as self-worth goes. I'm so glad I'm in my 30s now and don't feel the need to give up my tailored 2010s clothes just because Y2K is back. Edited to add: Here's the thing about fur and leather. Animals are being killed for food whether we like it or not. It's pretty wasteful to NOT use all parts of the animal just because PETA is being PETA. Now, fur farms are obviously not cool, but the wearing of leather and fur is more complicated than PETA wants us to think.

Luke, please start using woolite on your natural fiber knits and silks. Regular detergent has additives that make those fibers stiff and will ruin them over time. ❤

🗣"Don't wait for people to spoon feed you things...... but keep watching Haute La Mode" 😁 luv it 💓

Way back when New York was unsafe but exciting (the 70s, for you youngsters), I'd take a couple of big trash bags, heavy duty, and maybe $30 in cash, and hit all the secondhand stores in the Village. I'd spend hours rooting through racks, shelves, and most often, piles, and come away with wool trousers, wool jackets, cashmere, suede, silk, vintage dresses from before and after WWII. I found the most gorgeous pair of black and white Saks shoes, a take on the classic saddle shoe but narrow, leather so soft you could wrap a baby in it,, and heels made of stacked maple. I worshipped those shoes! I had a collection of those dresses from the early 60s that were fitted on top, but the skirts were full, often with a narrow belt. They were often worn with a crinoline in the 60s, but not by me.Betty Draper wore them on Mad Men. I had at least a dozen long silk nighties in pale silk eating cut on the boat kind of nighties worn to be removed by someone else before bed, obviously! It's interesting to hear her experience with fur in NY, as I wore my vintage fur coats til they fell apart sometime in the late 80s on both Coasts, even in Berkeley. The trick was to wear them with their holes and lost stitching, because it was obvious then that they weren't new. The coolest thing to wear them with was jeans and maybe a silk shirt. And a hat. $30 would fill two garbage bags with clothes of the best kinds. I miss those days!!

More mentions of Bonnie Cashin, thanks! Perhaps an entire video? I love that woman. She was an icon. Or, to be 100% correct; She's *still* an icon 24 years after her death.

I love being a hautelemode scholar. I've seen like half these tiktoks!!!

About the fur issue, as someone who became vegetarian for environmental reasons rather than animal rights, real fur is the better option in the end. It lasts longer, is warmer (so much more functional) and is biodegradable. My take is that leather, fur, wool, silk and the like will always be the lesser of two evils when the alternative is the ever deteriorating but never degrading plastics. You can’t fight for animal rights if they no longer exist.

I'm a Status Indian in Canada. We use porcupine quills,fur,feathers, and antler bones honour clothes,regalia, and jewelry. I wonder if we will be bounced in NY too? Puuuuuleeease do Indigenous Designers! Esp with Lily Gladstone rocking so much culture! Love you,your intelligence and bitchy breakdown are both essential....and stressful. 😗😘😍

Hey! The bar is Back room in new york. Not a personal bouncer thing its an actual policy! Ive never looked into this but I'm curious why it's just fur and not all forms of animal products like shearling or leather.

The drying racks used in the cashmere video are the OXO Good Grips Folding Sweater Dryers. They are so great!!!They are stackable and they fold up for easy storage. I love mine!

for the coffee table get this water activated window cover stuff it wont do any damage and it will still be a clear protective layer

I am just plain old... washing wool and hand knits was just one of the things you learned how to do as a young 'un.

I ice dye and sew my own clothing. None of it has ever been in vogue, but it's my unique colorful style that looks good on my curvy body. It also suits the hot & humid climate where I'm living.

I love loved love that you mentioned “reminder we are not curing cancer, this video goes off and i go into the real world, idc what you are wearing” !!! seriously its so refreshing to hear with people who work in entertainment/beauty/fashion, because a lot of people are so wrapped up in this world. denzel washington said this similar phrasing, “i hate when people in the movie making business act like this is some precious hard thing, being able to make movies is a privilege, its not that serious”

Lol! The drying racks for sweaters and other knits have been around since at least the 60s. And it works!

really love this series and coverage of "trends" and what's going on and also helping us decipher what we genuinely enjoy and what will best serve and express us and our love and passion for fashion without being swept up by what others are doing or attempting to convince us of

I refuse to buy a bag I cannot use. Not use in the rain? Have to put my stuff in another bag to protect the interior? No.

The reason that men’s suits had more fabric and we’re baggy in the early 50s and before is because they didn’t want to wear out the knees and they knew that men fluctuated in weight so you could take it in or let it out as you needed it the suits were built to last and the plates were there so your shoes would still be covered while you were sitting down for the most part. My dad is a close horse he has some beautiful suits he has some beautiful clothing that his dad owned. From him I learned a lot about clothing how to take care of it different areas of fashion and what looks good on my body types A lot of vintage fur from the 1940s and previous were more humanely caught like they use the entire animal not just the fair I have no problem with vintage fur but I would not purchase anything new unless I knew that the entire animal was used But that’s just me don’t come for me

Adore this video's content. So much better than 💩ing on celebs (who are just so boring). More of this, please!

Menswear did change but it’s so subtle. As for the Espresso Martini, it was first made at the Fred’s Club in London in the 1980s. As for who ordered it, that’s become one of those talked about urban legends.

I'm sorry, bows have been a thing for (at the very least) HUNDREDS of years... they're not going anywhere.

We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.

I’m here for the Bonnie Cashin recognition ❤

WILDERNESS STYLER MENTIONED as a coach classic collector his videos are some of my favorite content on the app

I really like these type of videos because we can hear your opinion on certain trends, aesthetics and so on.

I never knew about drying racks before, what a simple but useful idea

Respectfully those little brands who choose to not afford my sizes will never get my money even when they do decide my second class sizing is worth catering to. Just like make up brands chosing to only produce fair or light shades. They can be supported by the customers they prioritized. Hope it works out for them.

Luke, a mixing bowl and a tiny portion of woolite will do the trick for any wool or delicate piece! I washed my fendi scarf using this method, and I carefully wrung it out and laid it flat to dry. Absolutely no problems. I did the same with my Gucci heavy 100% wool sweater. No problems! They both did fine. Also I never wash clothes on the hot setting. Always cold!

A billionaire in Monterey, California used to come into our word processing shop all the time. I thought he was homeless. He didn’t care what anyone thought or how he looked. That was a great life lesson.

I hope someone mentioned already that a good way to protect the coffee tabletop is to have a piece of glass cut to the size of the tabletop and you put like round felt pieces on the corners - rather than trying to just keep felt on top.

Also those two suits are pre-Beatles and post-Beatles to put it simply hahaha

To cut felt you can also use butcher paper, iron it onto the felt shiny side down and cut out any shapes you traced on the matte side. Then the butcher paper just peels off with no issues, residue or pulling. Also super sharp scissors!

There is no one who can do it better than you Luke.

I can't wait to see Luke's reaction to the Oscar outfits. There's so much to talk about, especially Margot Robbie's looks

Extended size ranges for fashion brands is actually a soapbox of mine. There are many reasons to not expand your sizes above, let’s say, US 12 or what would be considered the edge of plus size ranges, but those reasons also come in a wide variety, from valid ones, like the one you described or how many pattern pieces you can fit into a standard width of the bolt, to medium valid, like how many customers out there who’d actually buy a full price Dior dress in a 5x, to not so valid, like not wanting fat people to be seen in your clothes. Quite interesting to think about.

I dress like a mob wife my whole adult life, and people sometimes have to say things about it, but I feel like myself in that style. And now it has become a trend. So yes, thank you for saying that we should wear what we like, not what is trendy.

Here's what usually works for me... 1. DRY SWEATERS FLAT, friends! 2. WASH/DRY SOCKS IN A PINNED PILLOW CASE: never lose your socks in the laundry again!! 3. NEVER SCRUB (SMEAR) FABRIC STAINS! Blot stains from the outside, working your way inward TOWARD THE CENTER, don't scrub it around! 4. AVOID COLOR BLEEDING: wash colors with similar colors in COLD WATER unless otherwise directed on the label. 5. LEATHER SCUFF REMOVAL: warm water + baking soda = thick paste to scrub hard. 6. GLITTER: don't rub or smear! Shake off what you can, then blot the rest with sticky tape. 7. GREASE/OIL STAINS: lay the clothing flat, and treat with small amount of clear dish soap (not laundry soap) directly on the stain, let stand for a few hours, then wash. 8. COFFEE: soak the stain in a mixture of warm water (3-6 cups depending on the stain's size), half a tablespoon of liquid dish soap, and a few table spoons of white vinegar. 9. BE A GUM DISASTER MASTER: if gum can't be removed after freezing it, try white vinegar applied directly to the gum to take its gooey stickiness away, then tape should help remove it. 10. PET STAINS ON CARPET: don't scrub or smear! Clean and soak up as much as possible with a towel, then drench with 1/10 white vinegar to COLD WATER ratio (maybe 1 cup total) to fully drench the entire stain. Cover with folded clean (dry) towel. Add something heavy over the area to help the towel completely soak up the remaining stain. Leave for up to 12-24 hours. Stain should transfer to towel to toss in your washing machine. 11. DELICATES: "hand wash" can mean Woolite and a machine's gentle cycle in a delicates bag or a pinned pillow case. What works for you?

Don’t ruin your fabric scissors with packing tape! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Buy a vanishing ink pen and just trace-cut. The pen disappears when left in the open air for a day or two. Or, use transfer paper (iron on, cut out, peel paper off). I know NOTHING about fashion, so this is the only input I can have here. 😂 I learn a ton from you! 😁

Thanks Luke! Loved this episode.

luke!! now that the series is over, can you please review the fashion from the gossip girl reboot (2021)? would love to hear your take on monet’s outfits!

Eh, Let them judge me😏 I don’t dress like I do to receive the opinions of others, I dress like I do because it makes me feel good and happy! Yes, I got shit A Lot back in high school, but as an adult I receive so many nice compliments from complete strangers! And I like to give it right back, when someone walks up to me and says oh my gosh! I love your outfit, I could never. I say thank you, 😊 and why not of course you can!And they are always like oh I don’t know …I’m just too old or I just can’t pull it off… And I say, said who, who’s gonna stop you from being an individual? I really hope that I have helped at least one person see, that they can express whomever they are inside through their fashion! It is wearable art❤

Have you seen the "The New Look" TV show (Apple TV) about Christian Dior? I was wondering how accurate the designs for that TV show were. I mean, while the main idea of the TV show isn't really about the fashion, I thought looking at the costume designs might be a good thing to cover? Maybe it would be good to look at the originals and compare?

The young boy who is talking about men's fashion is mistaken. Men's fashion has trends but also has the "classic style," which is followed by millions of men, and it's the same since the 1930s (King Charles is dressed like this). This is what doesn't change. Women's wear doesn't have an equivalent.

I could have told you how to wash that jumper. It’s pretty much how you should wash any natural wool garment.You can buy washing liquid specially made for wool, such as Eucalan or Nikwax Wool Wash.

I found out about the grey market when my husband got REALLY into whiskey. He found and bought a ton of Blantons. He thought about selling it but then we gave it as fancy gifts to family and friends ❤️

I just quickly want to give my 2 cents about what you're saying at 13:55. If they ca't make 2 samples, why not just make the plus size? And I'm saying this from a midsize perspective, I feel way more comfortable looking at how clothes fit on a plus size model than a XXS model. At the end of the day it's not about money, it's about stereotypes, and we have to acknowledge it.

BAEEE when is the Oscars fashion review and roast coming out??

Today I learned that my personal style is a raincoat and rain boots

Here for the Bonnie Cashin love! One of my best thrift finds ever was a 60s Bonnie Cashin corduroy coat for $15.

The suits still look a lot more similar compared to each other than most dresses.

Great video, Id never have looked these up. 14:43 I just don't get designer handbags. These 4 bags were cute, I guess, but so impractical! The 1st one, meh. The 2nd one with the thick strap 🙄The blue bag was simply ridiculous! And the last one was a bag to carry the bag that has your actual stuff...when it's not raining? 🤦🏾 I guess these bags mean something to someone, but I'm not impressed with designer bags in general, especially the useless ones that are just for show.

You roll a wet knit in a towel and squeeze it as dry as possible then dry flat on a simple rack

GURL! Did you dye your hair or change your part?? You're looking fresher than usual like an actual cherub from heaven. Spring has truly SPRUNG 😍✨✨

Ive been told i look like an art teacher sometimes with my fits and tbh i love that lol

i was so excited to read the comments but of course i’m early

I still stan Coach's leather bags. Every Coach I have has been rugged as hell and aged like fine wine.

Social justice is something that is supposed to bring about real change and yet it seems like they’re all just trends, like how is 2000s body shaming and right wing bigotry making major comebacks. Wtf is that about.

i need a video of luke reacting to his old fashion

I would never buy a new fur, but I don't buy faux either. I would buy vintage fur, thats it.

For anyone wanting to invest money, never invest in clothing or accessories. Buy an index stock. You are guaranteed to make a return. With clothing you most likely won’t make any money. Clothing diminishes I’m value over time while most stocks gain value because the companies they are tied to grow. When influencers talk about buying this or that as an investment piece I shake my head because for it to be an investment they would have to make a profit from it at some point and they most likely won’t.

I love the suits from the 1950s and 1960s. So handsome.

Wait, that wasn't Raja's real hair? The wiggery of it all!

I really like the first Coach bag Bonnie created; they should bring it back.

Patiently waiting for your Oscars roast and review 😊

To preserve your table have a custom piece of glass made for the top!

Love everything that you post!

Just buy some coasters😂 4:18

People talking about faux fur as if a beautiful Balenciaga coat would be in a landfill anytime soon 🤭

Heyyy!! U should react to the three day pre wedding of anant ambani ( Asia's richest man's son). The whole bollywood and a dozen of billionaires attended it, also rihanna performed.

You NEED to react to drag race runway looks bc this season is truly another level

loved this content

Is it just me but I geek out when ppl are like 'it's a really good bag... your stuff falls out of it and it stains in the rain' lolol ok, get it gurl 😆

I would like you to review fashion on Netflix’s Dubai Bling

I love you❤this was dope🔥

i love the grocery store collection

I love love love this videos!!!

Glad you’re on ticktock so that I don’t have to be

Consider expensive quality clothing the same as a car. You live your life in it you use it to get around and the second it leaves the lot. It's value decreases incredibly and it only increases depending on it's manufacturer, how popular it is at the time of creation, and how many are left many years later.

i did enjoy that mix!

Great video Luke. I really enjoyed all the history of fashion. But I want to see you wearing a trucker hat that you said u hand clean. Thanks! 🤠

Jamie Chua has a new closet tour video for 2024, can you do a reaction video to her closet tour 😊

the staten island accent made a lot of appearances in this video

I have a nice artisan cat tree :)) you can buy them in Europe.

You wash your own baseball hats? What a hero ❤

Cashmere can last longer than 10 years with proper care!! I have some cashmere from at least the 90s

I Did That Too. I Have This Will Sweater ( I Live At Home) I “Shrunk It… I Just Rewashed It And Soaked It In Cold Water And Put It Back On A Hanger.. Went Back To Original Size 😁😬

You can probably get some clear vinyl and put it on your table so you can see it

u NEED to see pashion footwear

Most of my closet is at least a decade old, I make my own personal style!
