SCHIAPARELLI SAVED HAUTE COUTURE WHILE DIOR & CHANEL FAILED IT (Spring 2022 Haute Couture Reviews) 

The asymmetrical Dior onesies can only be pulled off by K-pop stars as stagewear. That's it. There's no other place for that garment to exist peacefully.

Your videos are like mini fashion education courses. I honestly don't mind waiting a bit. It's not like I'm gonna go out and start shopping haute couture and I'm waiting on your reviews. I just want to be guided through the collections, with a knowledgable person. The jeweled martyrs are metal AF. If the Schaiaparelli collection was't referencing them, someone doing haute couture should.Super pumped that you mentioned the Constructivists. I know that Dries Van Noten Fall 2011 very specifically referenced the Constructivist fashion designs that were proposed to be manufactured for the masses but ended up never being produced.

Schiaparelli was so damn good. I watched the show 3 times with my sketchbook in hand.... I'm making a white version of that column dress with the netting going into a hat.... I literally went out and bought materials yesterday!!! It feels so good to be inspired by real, breath-taking art! :D

Showing Dior and Chanel after Schiaparelli's collection is unfair to them lol Great vid Luke!

Luke, your analyses are unmatched! You have taught me everything I know about fashion. Much love!! xo

"I believe Chiuri is referencing...... leg hair??" I'm crying 😭

My thing with mgc is she needs to ditch the referencing because she sucks at it. She needs to catapult the brand into her own vision because her attempts to rebel whilst keeping true to the house ethos is failing. Love your videos Luke take your time quality is always on 10

As a man from southeastern Kentucky, I feel I definitely have the authority to declare that Dior haute couture is actual trash in comparison to the others

The thoroughness!! The research!! The analysis!! I have been served a fashion feast on this blessed day from the patron saint of fashion!!

Your knowledge of references makes these videos deeply informative and enjoyable. It shows the artistry and history that isn't always apparent from looking at a runway show.

Watched Schiaparelli for the beauty then watched Dior and Chanel just so i could appreciate Roseberry's works even more 😊

okay I've never understood haute couture, it always looked like clothes nobody would wear but pretty nonetheless. you've opened by eyes to the depth of reference and art to be found in these pieces and i love it

Please Luke, take your time with these videos! We love the content ♥️ Luxury fashion demands quality videos and you’re outstanding!

To me it looks as if Dior and Chanel’s cloths are now driven by fear of shocking and generating bad press in a world where victimisation is more à la mode than mode itself. As a result the looks are safe, colours are muted, flesh is hidden, and most creations, even the most exquisitely executed ones, look like unsexy expensive boring stuff for mémés. Thanks for the video.

I absolutely loved the Schiaparelli show, from the different allusions to both greek and roman mythologies to more biblical and modern literature references. Although the look with the golden head on chain may look simpler than the other looks, its references were for me by far the most intriguing. I believe aside from the inspiration from Elsa's armoire/cupboards dress, there is perhaps a biblical inspiration there as well. Namely the story of john the baptist. Now there are few stories told when it comes to john the baptist's life and his famous beheading, the most well known and used in literature both modern and old is the tale of a king, Herod Antipas, and his wife. The story goes that John the Baptist condemned their marriage as illegal as she had previously been married to his own brother, Philip. Their daughter, Salome, influenced by her mother, proceeds to perform a dance for King Herod, her stepfather, and enamoured and moved by her grace and beauty, the king proceeds to ask Salome whatever she desires which he would grant. Thus Salome request John the Baptist's head on a silver platter which King Herod delivers as promised, that is the famed tale. Notably, and one my favourites, use of this Biblical reference is in 21st century poetry, by non other than the previous British Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy herself. In her collection called the world' wife, a collection of poems which critiques androcentrism by telling famous events and men of history from the women's perspective, there is a poem called "Salome". In said poem Salome wakes up, having slept with John the Baptist the night before, finding his decapitated head on the adjacent pillow. Perhaps, the black gown's simplicity with its straps hanging off the shoulder and the train held in the model's hand depicts this newly out of bed evening gown. Additionally the use of metals comes into play as well, the original head having been served on a silver plater, while Daniel Roseberry's head is encased in gold. The use of the gold both fit the collection's color scheme as a whole, but also works in the context of the allusion. The head is attached to a thick chain, which creates this movement of swinging, making the look and its quite horrifying reference almost whimsical and playful, even further highlighting Salome's character in Duffy's own rendition. But also in the bigger picture, completes this fantastical and surreal world both outer-space and earthly that Daniel Roseberry's presents in this collection. Sorry for the length lol, and I'm mostly reaching with all of this but it just shows how exited I am about the collection, and the direction Daniel Roseberry is heading at the moment.

That Schiaparelli is giving me life!!! Also the dress at 11.13 reminds me of Thai Tempels as well. Truly stunning

Absolutely the most eloquent and educated fashion reviews ever!!! Bravo 👏🏻

Are you going to do a video looking at what a contribution Andre Leon Talley brought to the design industry, the inclusion of not only people of color but the acceptance of a feminine male voice in making fashion accessible to the rising middle class "common" shopper?

Re: the German martyrs, that headdress actually reminds me of the “makuta” I think they’re called, golden headdresses worn by dancers in Thailand and Cambodia mostly. They’re tall and golden and represent kingship as well, interestingly

Is it just me or anyone else would rather put on the 30s, 50s "old fashioned" pieces from Dior or Chanel to go out than their "modern takes" of a mess.

I found the Dior hairy tights comment hilarious, but also, I don’t know how common this is in the US, but in Spain most women laser the hair off their bodies… and I assume most professional models do too, regardless of nationality, for convenience purposes. So maybe they really couldn’t grow it themselves 😂😭

You better give Luke his props. The boi knowledge about fashion is untouchable. How can a person know so much references? Every video is a masterclass . Also, I need that black exaggerated sweater he is wearing

The second Dior leotard could be cute if it was turned into a gown. Keep the top half and the gradient pattern but make the bottom half long and flowy.

I didn’t even intended to get to know fashion to this extend but your content really wowed me. Please keep up the great work!

I was laughing throughout the Dior show. Luke, I LOVE you, this was like the best non-judgy, but judgy fashion review ever hahaha

I must admit, i did really enjoy the Schiaparelli collection.

The root/alien dress is probably a refrence to a drawing depicting Lois XIV. dancing ballet

Schiaparelli is the first high fashion designer whose things I’ve coveted and dreamt of soo badly-so extra, soo beautiful, yet soo classy!!!

The history and education you bring to your videos is lovely!

The silhouette of the white embroidered jacket from Schiaparelli also reminds me of Elizabethan-era sleeves! If you look up portraits of Elizabeth’s time you can see the similarity in the way the stiff sleeves stand so far from the body.

The dress from 8:00 really reminds the drawings of franquin in Gaston, a belgian comic book. Its the tulle at the bottom that looks like a pencil mark tht really gives me that impression

i love the haute couture videos sm- i saw the schiaparelli collection and couldnt wait for the reaction

Your narrative is always so spot-on with just the right pinch of sass and good humor 🤣 LOVE

Great reviews I think you should look at some Chanel collections from Karl where he explored more or less the 20's/30's: Spring 2005 Couture (through the 18th century), Spring 2001 Couture (very Deauville inspired), Spring 1999 Couture (more on the minimalist style), Prefall 2006 NYC collection (very Art Deco) and fall RTW 1998 which was quite radical and more minimalist.

Wow, this is one of your best fashion reviews. I am glad you are being kinder. It is clearly evident you did a lot of research, especially for the Schiaparelli part. Keep it up.

Yes I have been waiting for your thoughts on this season!

The finale look from Schiaparelli, also reminded me of the horns from the Moses sculpture by Michelangelo, which is said to be inspired by the pagan god Pan, also in reference to the paganism of the collection

Omg yes. I watched these 3 fashion shows and I watched Chanel and I was almost fell asleep, it was ok nothing much and then I watched Schiaparelli and I woke up, like it was amazing. Dior and Chanel need new designers honestly. Both were just ok at best

Thank goodness. Fashion week review, its been awhile. I love your commentary.

JESUS CHRIST THE EFFORT that must go into these videos. I love everything i hear from you

i have seen bits on instagram about the schiaparelli collection and was honestly already obsessed with it. THANKS for making this video, it goes much more in depth and has been super useful in understanding all that went into its creation

Yay! History references! Excited for part 2 :)

I don't know what it is about those 5 second montages at the start of each video but they have my heart

Thank you for all of your amazing research that goes into explaining these shows. You help me to better understand the world of fashion. The design and talent of these ateliers is beyond amazing and I am so glad that there continues to be a place for these shows in our fashion world. Again, thank you for sharing your wealth of information.

In the best possible way my grandma who was a really historically interested clothes horse and maker of clothes would have loved you as well as I do, watching this makes me really miss her in a good way. Thank you. And Thank you for making todays fashion relevant and interesting you find the good stuff in details and inspo it really works and I like this kinder take whilst still being very clear .

Hello Luke. Thank you so much for your review. Fascinating to see the garments, then to hear the history. Jane in New Zealand

Many references to Elsa's 1938 collections which were themed ornately embroidery Apollo of Versailles, Zodiac, and Circus all collections from 1938. Elsa designed very ornate costume jewelry which in my opinion was equally as impressive as Elsa Schiaparelli's clothes. The gold oversized solar system earrings were a perfect homage to her 1938 Zodiac collection...it truly channeled Elsa's vision! I love your channel by the way. I subscribed.

Brilliant as always, thanks Luke! 👌🏻

Love the deeper dives of the REASONING for the fashions & the historical relevance. Thank you for your hard work. Very informative… 🌈🫒

I LOVE this style of video so so much and I understand that they must be SO much work. I would sign up for a fashion review and reference patreon in A SECOND. I'm obsessed. I worship.

I’ve been waitinggg for this 😍

I absolutely love your sassy educational pieces! And you speak so well! I love your channel

Great critique! Thank you!

your fashion knowledge is incredible ! as a fashion student this is seriously impressive

I love your reviews, I don't know much about fashion history so I always learn lots and it's completely accessible. Thank you 😊

You are teaching and I am so listening.

Thanks so much for this in depth review

So good! I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

love ur sweatshirt in the final review! super cute seaming and star detail :)

I love your deep analysis. I learned so much.

Excellent fashion review, analysis and critique into the world of haute couture, designer's workshops, covering the textiles and design motifs. The idea of fantasy garments and craftsmanship truly depicting an age of discipline: dreams, drama and fantasy.

Really been looking forward to this video, didn’t disappoint. Thanks Luke! X

I am sucker for all your videos. insights and research behind are mind boggling❤

Applause, applause, applause! I have to stop at 12 minutes in because I have to go to work. But your knowledge base is fascinating, impressive, beautiful. Yes and thank you. Love you.

Hello Luke! I stumbled across your channel last night for the first time. Your knowledge of designers of the past and present and ability to reference collections by year along with appreciation for the art behind the fashion doesn't come around much on youtube. And thank you for cotinually calling out "influencers" who just buy THINGS to impress us rather than actually appreciate fashion for the art. Keep up the good work !

Your knowledge/research is incredible… do you get show notes? Or is this all you… it’s encyclopedic the amount of knowledge you have!!!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

I cannot wait for the day I get to watch you do these reviews live like joan rivers

Okay first of all this was amazing, I really appreciate your personal take and how well you break the references down. I am always amazed at the amount of research that goes into these videos. And it would be really interesting to see your thoughts on Christian Dior's haute couture spring summer 2007 runway (the geisha one)

love it, i hope you can add the subtiltle as well

Hahahahaha!!! Your opening critique of Dior's Bodysuits and hairy leggings gave me a much-needed chuckle - Far kinder than what I was thinking!

Thank you for doing this with so much thought and research. We appreciate you!

We love your references Luke!!

I saw Schiaparelli in the thumbnail and I got super excitedddd

Making an argument for the natural lighting setup ✨ it was lovely

The Palm Tree raised embroidery took my breath away and then seeing the leg hair tights right after… it really emphasized embroidery done right versus wrong.

Omg hi Luke! Great video as always!

What Cinema OCD said in their comments 2 months ago. I love the history lessons along with the reviews. This is the first time I've ever given 2 minutes to clothing reviews, let alone subscribed to a channel. I like your style.

We love a Heavenly Bodies reference 👏🏻 Bravo!

The amount of infos and research for all these references are immaculate

I think the blue camelia bouquet for the Chanel wedding dress was an hommage to Gaspard Ulliel. And thanks for the video, awesome content as always!

STOP! That gold root dress (11:15) is everything 😍

omg chanel dafk love ur analysis! very informative and fun as always 💖☺️

Oh sweetheart please blow our minds. Knowledge is power. I really enjoy you.

I stopped watching for a while but now I’m back and have to say that you’re commentary has evolved so well. You’ve always been knowledgeable but the editing and references are beyond now. You’re the new Tim Blanks.

The Shocking Pink soles were such a nice touch in Schiaparelli 😍

Great job Luke! For some reason I haven’t seen your videos for a while. However this video reaffirmed you as one of best of a short list of top fashion critics and educators out there.

Thank you for making this video

You are SO on point its ridiculous 👏👏👏👏👏

I llllllllllllove when you give us THE IM EDUCATED IN FASHION VIDEOS.... ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Fantastic info. Beautifully intelligent.

boy you really be EDUCAting!! I'm new to the channel and love it and your energy

Loving the video and the Mugler hoodie, sweet tribute for sure!

So we'll researched...love it all!

You are great . You observations are so well researched its a joy to watch your videos. VOGUE would be blessed to have this kind off investigative editor on their team Well done.

love seeing my middle school locker mate on the video thumbnail. GO QUINNIE

This is how far Dior has fallen. What on earth are those pieces of cloth they’re wearing? I get why you started with Schiaparelli, because Dior needs a come to Jesus meeting and that Schiaparelli collection is as close as they are going to get.

I was just catching up with your videos when u uploaded thid

I love your fashion week reviews. I look forward to them. Thank you ❤️❤️ * The look at Schiapareli with the black dress that has exagarated shapes on the skirt hem is made up of horsehair (mostly used on fascinators or crinolines) instead of tulle. It's a lot more rigid than tulle and keeps its shape well.

Hope the Valentino review is coming soon 🥺🥺
