- Hey everyone, I hope you are doing fine!
In this video I wanted so summarize all the current developments that are taking place in the fashion industry in this difficult global situation. I tried sum up the price increases, Gucci´s “going seasonless” and Louis Vuitton’s latest marketing campaign. Also, I dived into a couple of theories on how our shopping behaviour is or might be changing after the lock down.

In my opinion luxury companies are getting too greedy
I follow some influencers for styling ideas. I was so chagrined to see each and every one of them wearing a new Louis Vuitton bag yesterday. The same bag on every single influencer. After this week, I know I will never see that bag on any of those influencers. This is the kind of advertising and marketing that is so obviously staged. Vuitton and other high end brands would do well to realize that we notice this now more than ever and it simply seems tone deaf during a global pandemic.
This annoys me so much. Why would anyone want to buy something a bunch of airheads have been gifted?? I am laughing at the looting comment though 😂
Tbh I dont think a luxury brand needs to work with influencers, its like a circle, they dont want their brand to be too mainstream yet they advertise it through SM and then the prices go up again because they want to be more exclusive. For me personally, im tired of influencers and the whole concept of them.
Sharon Hansen yes they wear and show how much they love it and after that they sell it with marked prices .
Do you mind telling us the bag this is?
@@hammyhun9356 Hermes. Why you want know,? Are you buying?
All this seasonal stuff is nonsense in my opinion. You buy this stuff and don’t even get to wear it before the next season is in. Not just the fashion season, but the actual season. And for what? To post a photo on Instagram? We’ve devolved into buying so much crap, people don’t save money anymore and are just focused on consumption and acquisition. The materials alone that go into all this wasted product clogging up people’s homes while their bank accounts sit empty is mind boggling. I personally blame social media for this escalation.
Evelyn really enjoy your videos. They’re not 56 minutes long which is a treat and so informative. Wirklich sehr gute Videos und etwas total anders- wirklich toll xx
Herzlichen Dank für deine lieben Worte! Was die Trends angeht: da bin ich vollkommen deiner Meinung.
I agree and totally for cutting down the seasons and merchandise offered each year. I thrift a lot and I figured I could save money that way by getting the trendy colors cheaper but even that way I had to realize I might still not be able to get a lot of use out of it if I only considered that second hand purchase in a temporary way. I still have to commit to that cut and color.
I think we all would need to slow down a bit, this is just crazy and destroys our planet. Why can't we live with two collections per year?
I agree!
@@Effie.B me too! It the 8 collections per year was insane and even designers complained that it was exhausting and so costly for the company.
Even Anna Wintour herself said in a conversation with Naomi Campbell that we should enjoy what we already have instead of just having more and more. That's quite something coming from a person of her position. But yes and yes! Less is more!
I live in the US. Between the pandemic and American cities burning, luxury fashion now seems ridiculous.
Debra Quaka I couldn’t have said it better.
I agree, I’m not in the mood to shop. I want to spend my money donating to causes that fight injustice.
Debra Quaka ABSOLUTELY
Always was absolutely ridiculous
Right!? These things happening around us really puts things into greater perspective.
With all things fashion aside, I wanted to dedicate a word on the current situation in the U.S., as I already did on my Instagram account: What happened to George Floyd breaks my heart. As someone who is in a multi-cultural relationship (my partner is Turkish and I am Polish) we both have experienced slurs and anti-racial behaviour towards our roots. In no way would I compare this to the tragedy and injustice that happened to George. But there are still so many forms of racism that are accepted in society like slurs, jokes and clishees and they keep racism alive. They keep things like what happened to George being possible in our world. The world will not change until WE change it. We need to educate ourselves and our children. We need to call every-day-racism out. Every. Single. Day.
Very well said. Coming from a black woman, I thank you for your statement. 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for using your platform to raise this issue❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for you kind words and for not staying silent 🙏🙏!!
Preach sis. Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏👏👏
Thank you for your words. Hearing allies speak on there platforms help with the healing process.
I actually started to become aware and more mindfull about my shopping habits before the pandemic, but the pandemic was a big eyeopening and has most definitely giving me the last push. I will no more shop for trends, seasons, fast fashion etc. I want to create a small wardrobe with good quality pieces that reflects my personal style 100% and that will give me endless styling options. I don't want to take part in any of the other anymore. I want to become more sustainable, that's a real goal for me.
🙏🏻that’s an amazing goal! Couldn’t agree more!
I personally will not be buying anything that isn’t essential during this time.
I agree about the idea to spend money on fashion. What i don´t like is to spend money in fast fashion (that creates pollution and underpay employees) and in high-end fashion (that overcharges for average goods and invests in marketing and not in materials and quality). Luxury brands are not exclusive anymore, let´s be real, Gucci and Luis Vuitton are just the Zara of affluent people (or wannabe affluent people). We should have less clothes but spend more for each piece and buy handmade from good, small designers.
Lol I like your style, Hermes Kelly/Birkin or nothing, none of this "wannabe affluent" Gucci or LV 😂
Very well said! I can't believe they called it "revenge shopping" haha like they want to make it sound sexy/dangerous/exciting. I've noticed a huge surge as shops are starting to open. Before the pandemic, malls were hardly seeing any foot traffic in the US, but they were packed the other day. I shopped the sales recently to get a few work pieces that I've eyed up for months. But you're right, I've definitely reflected; I've calculated my expenses with my partner and considered my expendable income for the rest of the year. So many things that were on my "wishlist" have been re-evaluated. As you know, there is no much pain in the US right now outside of the pandemic. To be honest, I wanted a moment away from the fear and anxiety today. We're peacefully protesting and doing our best. Thank you for the video.
Having worked for luxury brands in Beverly Hills, CA and having had celebrity and/or wealthy clients, I know that when money is no object, luxury brands are there to cater to their whims. For the top 10% richest people on earth, price increases mean nothing. It only means something to people who do not have those means. Luxury wont go away as long as there are people with tremendous wealth and here in the USA in the last few months, luxury online stores and luxury department stores have seen significant growth in sales as oppose to the opposite.
Luxury brands are recession proof... It’s an economics 101 FACT!
exactly. people will still be able to buy and afford luxury, just not the average everyday person.
I've actually thought about making a fashion youtube channel based on my experiences - but in the past few years I had a major shift in how I shopped. And it actually started because I bought my first real designer bag, a LV, and I just honestly did not think that it was worth how much I paid for it. It doesn't mean that I don't love it, but I told myself that I wasn't going to be told what to buy anymore after that. It just didn't seem the type of quality that I was expecting for what I paid for it...
Past that, I only bought things on sale, to control my urges to follow trends. If it's discount/on sale, it's old. And for designer, I focused on only buying preloved. Now I am only trying to thrift/prelove clothing/handbags/ect.
I feel...significantly better about my purchases when I make them. ME. Not a trend. Not an instragram influencer. I made the decision and it's mine.
I don't think that me doing that disrupts a designers/influencers job either, actually. If I want fashion advice, I follow influencers. If I want inspiration, I follow designers. I still look to them for inspiration, but I feel significantly better about my purchases.
That shirt is GLORIOUS on you! 🤩 Something has to change, and I was delighted to hear Gucci's decision to scrap seasons. It's a step closer to something more sustainable. Excellent.
Always enjoy watching your more informative videos. You have such an amazing and valuable perspective because of your first-hand experience in the industry. Thanks for shining a light on this topic! x
Thank you so much!
It’s Sunday 🌸
I was looking forward to a video from you as always!
Also, this was a great topic and needs to be spoken about more. This is why I adore you, you talk about fashion and luxury fashion in such a logical way.
Thank you very much!💖💖💖
Thank you for not being blind to the situation. We adore your channel and you as a person. 🎀
Freue mich jeden Sonntag auf dein Video! Und wie immer richtig cooler und interessanter Content, den ich dringend in dieser von Irrelevanz umgebenen RUclips-Szene brauche 😘 und die Bluse ist unglaublich schön 🔥
Every interesting and thats why I love you! You bring your own perspective and I love it.
That zimmermann top is 🔥🔥🔥
It’s so refreshing to finally see a TRUE discussion on this topic. Every time I see people speak on the subject, it’s often superficial or they just scratch the surface. I’ve been speaking on this for a few years now and people would take it at face value, but now are finally opening their eyes to a lot the problems within the relationship of fashion and consumerism.
I enjoy these types of videos from you bc of your perspective from being part of the fashion industry. Very thought provoking. Thank you for your insight 💕
Thanks very much for uploading today Evelyn. I’m hoping this means that you’re doing well. Please enjoy the rest of your weekend. 💜
I'm following like 100 youtubers and for a long time I've found your videos the most interesting. Your topics are always so on point!
Wow, thank you very much! I really appreciate that!💖
This was so informative! I love listening to videos like this on my morning walks. Just subscribed 💕
Awesome! Thank you so much for subscribing💖
Nothing is going to happen to the fashion industry other that people who can TRULY AFFORD the items will continue to purchase them and those who can won’t .
I think you are spot on: I am made aware of my shopping behavior more, but I still hope one day the stores open; and I can go back for shopping...
I am glad my video was useful for you!💓
I myself have been, along with my husband, very lucky to work full time from home. Because my commute costs quite a bit, I'm actually saving a lot of money doing this. I decided to put that money into updating my wardrobe a bit to be more of a capsule wardrobe with pieces I know I'll use. I did it a lot faster than otherwise due to the circumstances. I get both aspects - and with that balance of folks spending a lot and those not, in the end I'd say it will eventually work itself out to a new normal (if there is such a thing lol). Thanks so much for the insight and thoughts! Have a good one.
Excellent video, very logical, thank you for pointing out how much money fashion puts into the economy! Your new top looks amazing on you!
Thanks so much!💖
Connecting luxury to being fast fashion is so interesting. Your perspective is refreshing
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video!
I found this video very interesting coming from someone who actually does work in fashion and have a lot of expertise. Thank you for sharing your opinions and thoughts with us. I do agree with you 100%.
Thank you Chiara! I hope you are well! 💓
the geek is chic you are so very welcome dear Evelyn! I am good thank you, I hope all is well for you, too 🤗
I found your video very interesting and informartive! Thank you! Kisses from Lisbon
The way you speak is so articulate and intellectual. I love these kinds of videos from you 🌸
Thank you so much, dear! I really appreciate that.
I just said to my mom on the phone right before watching this video I need to stop shopping while staring at the 5 new perfumes on my vanity. Lol
You were truly one of the first to predict the future of luxury fashion.
11:27 TOTALLY AGREE! I mean everything you said on this video is very accurate. Thank you for your kind words about George Floyd. Black lives matter 🙌🏼. Changing subject, Evelyn your hair is growing so fast girl! Greetings from California ☀️
Ich bin wirklich gespannt welchen Weg die Modeindustrie einschlagen wird. Könntest du dir vorstellen, dass es auch einen "Bruch" geben wird? D.h. ein Teil der Luxusmarken besinnt sich wieder auf alte Werte (Qualität, Understatement, eine klare Linie), während der andere Teil das Rad immer weiter und schneller drehen wird (Luxus wird zu Fast Fashion)? Inwiefern wird der asiatische Markt langfristig die Mode beeinflussen? Erste drastische Veränderungen bemerkt man jetzt auch schon im Luxussegment.
Die Lehren, die ich aus den letzten 2 Monaten für mich gezogen habe: Es reicht Mode 2x im Jahr zu kaufen. Die richtigen Farben, Qualität, Schnitt und Zeitlosigkeit müssen stimmen, sonst wird nichts gekauft.
Generell wünsche ich mir wieder mehr Vielfalt in der Mode. Ist etwas Trend gibt es nur diesen Schnitt/Farbe was auch immer in den Läden, alles andere sucht man vergeblich. Dadurch gleichen sich die Marken immer weiter an und werden für mich als Konsument austauschbar.
i work with a top fashion brand.fashion n luxury shopping are last thing in mind for most americans...pandemic, social unrest, depression era unemployment along with lockdown/curfew...
You are like some kind of "reality check". Love it!
I appreciate that, thank you! 💖
Thank you for your work🐘
very knowledgeable review, thank you
Wow your top is beautiful. Love the colors. I would prefer having fewer seasons like 2-3 would be good to see and an occasional special collection like how Gucci did with the Mickey Mouse collection
Ironically, buying my first designer bag (and buying designer coats, staple items etc.) honestly changed my saving and spending habits. Instead of buying 2 - 4 Furla/Oroton/ other mid-range bags a year, I'd just save up and buy one designer one every 12 - 18 months. Same with staples like coats and shoes, especially from the outnet. I got a Victoria Beckham, longline double breasted ÜBER chic black coat for $700aud (originally $3,000 aud) and its so classic and I will take care of it. I'm so proud of my purchases, fast fashion doesn't appeal to me.
Great video, thanks so much! xo
I love this Zimmermann blouse!
I haven't stepped my foot on shopping malls for more than 3 months now. I don't feel like shopping online either. Probably this lockdown will end next month but who knows. I still go to the office for work but most shops are still closed. Never knew 2020 will be so different & don't seem to get any better 😪
I absolutely loved this video!! .
Glad you enjoyed it!💖
Very informative! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!💖
Great Video Evelyn! You made great insightful points. Lets hope that there will be less wastefulness in the fashion industry with changes being indoctrinated.
Danke für das tolle Video, leider habe ich auch das Gefühl, dass die meisten Menschen eher zu revenge shopping tendieren als einen Gang zurück zu schalten.. Es ist erschreckend, wie viele Unternehmen mit Rabatten und Sales werben und gleichzeitig werden in anderen Unternehmen die Preise angehoben (Celine hat in dieser Woche die Preise erhöht). Ich denke dass das Umdenken vor allem auch von der Mode-Industrie kommen muss. Vielen Endverbrauchern traue ich den Weitblick leider gar nicht mehr zu. Also was deren Konsum langfristig für Folgen hat z.B.
Die Bluse steht dir übrigens hervorragend. Das ist wirklich ein Teil was man in 10 Jahren noch anziehen kann. Absolut zeitlos! Ich liebe die Schnitte und die detailreiche, liebevolle Gestaltung.
Herzlichen Dank für deine Worte! Leider teile ich deine Meinung: Ich befürchte auch, dass das jetzige Umdenken bei den Kunden wie auch bei Unternehmen auch wieder abnehmen wird und wir leider wieder in "alte Muster" verfallen werden :(
Fantastic video, informative and helpful! Love 💘 you in the Zimmerman blouse. I'm interested in buying one eventually but unsure about size. Do you wear #1 or #2 size? Thank you so much! From 🇺🇸
1 is a small. The pieces fit perfectly
I wear a size 2 ( I am an EU 36/38), but if you want the fit to be voluminious you can size down one size!
-I think I fall into the revenge shopping category (oops!)
-The new LV bags are not anything special IMO, especially considering the price. Didn’t they JUST come out with Escale? Yawn
-I’m totally onboard with the “seasonless” releases. Hope this means brands will come out with more refined and classic silhouettes that compliment what they’re each known for.
-I’m reading rumors about a Dior price increase too. I hope they don’t!!!!
I just made published a video on this topic too! I love hearing your educated viewpoint on this topic. Well done :)
Personally I've shopped through and my style won't change or the amount. I'd like to see brands slow down with so many pre season shows, it's so trying. In Australia some luxury multi brand retailers that stock brands like Prada were upto 30% off 2 months into the ss season, times are tough for retail here.
Think about how much clothing was produced prior to the pandemic that is still sitting in closed stores.. completely unworn. However, because of "seasons" or "trends", these untouched garments will be obsolete when stores open again.
It´s tragic!
Outstanding report!
Thank you!
I hope no new trends will come out now because I still haven’t been able to wear my puff sleeve blouses i bought in January. I would love slower production and consumption going forward. I hope this will influence the way we buy and live in the future. Appreciating our health and well-being first and second loving what we already own.
At the end of the day we have to use our power as consumers - because we create demand and the brands have to follow.💖
I see you in that Zimmerman top! ♥️😍
Thanks for a great video - always love these analysis videos 🥰
Thank you so very much for this vídeo!i work in the Luxury market,in retail and because of this situation i've Lost my job,this is very complex,i agree that the industry have to Change in many ways and right now many people that works in this business is suffering...
I am very sorry to hear that you lost your job due to this crisis! I am praying that you will soon find a new opportunity!💓🙏🏻
@@thegeekischic thank you so very much!better days will come 🙏
Really interested to see how this will pan out... I just hope that masks don't become a long-lasting fashion statement!
Could you imagine Gucci making canvas masks, with leather trim... oh sheesh, I don’t wanna laugh bc I think it’s very likely.
It already is in the ISLAMIC STATE!
Masks are already a thing in Asia, it’s going to stay and it’s already a fashion accessory.
I wish we could reconcile the need for profitability with sustainability. I don’t have a problem with marketing, but I do have a problem with endless consumptions. For that reason, I don’t necessarily mind the price increases, as that may allow a brand to preserve the bottom line with a smaller output.
I absolutely agree!💖
Absolutely agree that they need to do business but as you said the companies are being a bit tone deaf on yet another influencer campaign. The influencers will be paid to carry the bags or gifted them for free and then when they are bored of them sell them off so it’s a win win situation for them. But doesn’t promote a sustainable lifestyle which I think more of us are now seeing as a way of life when just over a month ago people were fighting over toilet roll. I for one am now going to be more selective of my purchases and buy fashion that will be carefully thought out and not some trend that an influencer says is the greatest thing ever until the next freebie comes along. BTW love your purchases as they are so well thought out of how they go together with each other and it’s obvious that you enjoy wearing them.
Will see what will happen. Obviously Gucci isn't on the top at the moment...all the brands go in circle, couple of years for each....
I was at a Gucci outlet last weekend people are lining up to shop 😁
I don't know it's a complex issue that need to be looked at through multiple lenses. Main luxury markets are Asia, Europe, America. China is open to my understanding for business, but majority of Europe is still on lockdown and US for the most part is still locked down especially the major cities of NYC, LA where the real luxury spenders stay. I do feel there will be a major shrinkage of previous profits luxury conglomerates saw. Unemployment right now in the US is lingering around 24 million and still growing, these numbers represent everything from normal people to high income earners. The main profit maker was regular consumers who bought the sneakers, or the bag, or the belt in search of living an aspirational life. The real luxury consumers will still spend of course as they have not been financially touched by Covid-19 but there are far few of them especially in concerns of larger brands ex; Gucci, LV, Saint Laurent. Also several large American departments store have filled bankruptcy, luxury's preferred method of selling is still physically. The new proposed calendar by designers sounds not very thought and I hope all of them are prepared for salary reductions, if they are only responsible for 2 collections they won't be getting the multi-million salaries most of them are accustomed to. Especially on top of shrunken demand. Interesting times we live in.
Loved the video! :-)
I agreed with you everything else except their timing of price increases
O O that’s the thing that bothers me, why increase pricing right now and so drastically? When many have lost jobs or don’t know what will happen to their jobs in the future. I hope that this pandemic will at least lead to a decrease of fast fashion
If companies don’t promote, the clientele who are able and willing to spend don’t spend, I, as well as many many of my peers, will soon lose our jobs...
i see the absolute opposite consumer behaviour living in Asia, people (myself included) do more luxury shopping online..because we can't travel many people have extra money to spend & the fact that there's sales going on contributes to that as well. Personally i don't know anyone, who was buying "home decor things" except maybe a BIG rise in Dyson & Roomba vacuum cleaners popularity. These really been selling a lot in the past few months
I did the same!
I agree, companies still need to promote and sell their products to stimulate the economy and keep productivity moving forward. The world can’t keep standing still, no matter how superficial and unimportant these things seem in today’s environment however the companies and people involved in these industries do need to be sensitive to these conditions when promoting their products and themselves. It’s a fine line we walk at the moment and it’s an extremely murky one. There will be mistakes made by along the way as these are unforeseen times, let’s try to be forgiving of them. We all have to do what we can to get through it but let’s just try to be sensitive to the ones that are finding it that much harder as we are literally all in it together 🌏
I agree, it is a fine line! But we all need a flourishing economy...

I actually canceled 2 luxury bags orders. I’m only buying one that I really want and a bracelet. That’s all.
Thanks for all of your insights. I suggest using the word "reward spending" instead of "revenge shopping." Many young and affluent adults feel like they have made sacrifices for the sake of public health. They put their social lives on hold, worked from home, taught their kids in home schooling, and had to keep their children busy all day for weeks on end, all to reduce the risks for the elderly. Now they feel like they deserve a reward. I can understand that.
No Seasonal Planning, Wow! Instead Of 8 Season, Now 2 Seasons...
This is normal... As well for the real creativity of fashion..directors, they need time to create, not only for sustainability.. It should be common sense. And not just stress fashion.. I was thinking about it for a long time. Now is time to do it. This will probably help as well to discuss quality because of this fast fashion you could notice items that production cost was 120 and were selling at 4000 euros
Die Bluse steht dir fantastisch 👍Liebe Grüße 🙋🏻♀️
Herzlichen Dank!
Love your thoughts, as always. I am wondering -- in which fashion field you are specialized? I guess you are a buyer or a communication/marketing specialist. You are such an inspiration for me, you look very professional and smart. It would be amazing to know more about your career. By the way, I'm working more than one year now in premium fashion e-commerce, but fundamentally everything from marketing til creative briefs, because I need to do everything by myself :( so I try to gain as much knowledge as possible... Thank you again. Greetings from Lithuania.
If you are new in the business, I think it actually is a great opportunity to to "do everyhting" because you get such a wide field of experience that you will definately benefit from in the future:) I was lucky to start out in a similar position. My field of expertise is based on concept&creation of content and campaigns and communication.
Liebe Evelyn,
ich schreibe dir hier in der Hoffnung, dass du bald meinen Kommentar sehen wirst... ich bräuchte nämlich einen Tipp/Meinung zum Kauf einer Tasche! 🙈🙈🙈
Seit einiger Zeit habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich eine rote Tasche in einer mittleren Größe brauche... um meine eher „neutralen“ Outfits mit einem „Pop of red“ interessanter zu machen 😉
Seit über ein Jahr überlege ich mir ob ich mich trauen soll, in eine Valentino Glam Lock Medium zu investieren. Dazwischen hatte ich kurz auch die GG Marmont im Auge... die finde ich jedoch zu sehr „in your Face“.
Ich habe eine super Glam Lock in Rosso Valentino auf Vestiare für 950€ gefunden (mein Angebot wurde akzeptiert💪🏻😊)
Nun habe ich erfahren dass die Glam Lock aus dem Sortiment ist... und mir sind die Füße kalt geworden.
950 Euro sind ja keine Peanuts... 🙈😢 Wie findest du die Tasche persönlich?
Danke dir mehrmals & liebe Umarmung
Dani
Hallo liebe Dani, danke für deine Nachricht und ich hoffe meine Antwort kommt nicht zu spät! Zu deiner Frage: Ich finde die Idee einer roten Tasche ganz wunderbar! Von einer Gucci Marmont hätte ich dir tatsächlich abgeraten, da sie echt schon extrem viele Menschen haben und sie ihren Wert nicht gut halten wird. Die Valentino Locks finde ich schon besser, würde sie auch nur second hand kaufen, da sie eben ein Auslaufmodell sind. Ein Fan der Lock bin ich aber auch nicht, da sie auch eine "trendy" Tasche ist / bzw war. Taschen, die mir noch einfallen wären: Die Gucci Soho Bag (unter 1000€, zeitlos und qualitativ besser als die Marmont), Celine Trio (unter 1000€, zeitlos und du weißt ja, ich bin ein Fan der Tasche:)), oder wenn du was schickeres suchst, würde ich dir eine YSL Tasche empfehlen, weil sie klassischer sind, die Qualität stimmt und sie auch meistens um 1000€ liegen. Ich hoffe, das hilft dir weiter!
I don’t think that consume the same amount or more is a sustainable and right future for us. Yes, some people would certainly lose their jobs but I think we have too many people in some jobs (e.g. marketing) while we have too little in others (e.g. doctors, nurses, teachers, etc). If we consumed less, these professions would naturally be filled with professionals to adjust to what we really need in the job market and what professions could operate will less amount of professionals.
Once I read that a certain beauty brand employed less chemists than marketing people - it was eye opening.
I agree with your thoughts on that matter and I personally would love to see the industry shift towards a more sustainable and mindful direction. But on the other hand we need to "allow" business to do their business right now so that they can stay in business.
If designers are coming out with fewer collections a year do you think their prices will increase?
Well, since they are already doing that anyway...yes, I think that might continue to happen...
i think so, all the workers still need to be paid the same regardless how many new hand bags etc.. they can sell. unless they cut back the workforce.
You can bet on it!
Wow! Food shortages are coming. Can you eat a, ‘luxury bag”?
Been trying to be more sustainable for a while but I did spend on fashion for smaller designers, who need my help more than the large houses. Of course, nothing wrong with trying to do business at this time, but the price increases left a bad taste in my mouth. My two cents.
RE George Floyd, I could not agree more! Well done for raising this despicable situation, I salute you
Just started begin this year with luxury and tbh already bored af with them... nothing new for like half a year? Going back to minimalist.
I think everyone should be careful about spending money in 2020. This pandemic caused the economic crisis in big damage, and it will take years to recover. Of course, rich people do not count.
I was not able to do shopping from Feb. till now which is June, as matter of fact, I felt good, I don't need to buy stuff every month. Though I still have a job and stable income, by clear the closet, and kept less and lesser clothes/shoes, I felt good actually.
I'm not buying luxury. I'm working on my home. And I bought a bidet! LOL a pandemic will change your attitude! 😆
Thank you! Very interesting video!)
I am glad you enjoyed it! 💖
I’ll just order Louis Vuitton from their online store that way I’ll avoid their lines ;) With Chanel, cosmetics can be purchased from online, and bags and accessories have to be ordered as preloved from places like Fashionphile. I do understand your concerns regarding this time, however I think that luxury shopping shall continue!
Nie wiedzialam, ze jestes Polka😊Skad pochodzisz?
Pochodzę z Gdańsk 💓😊
Super, ja tez pochodze z Pomorza, a dokladnie z Malborka😊To niedaleko! Polish power!💪💪💪
Do you have instagram ??
Yes, it is always linked in the description box, my handle ist @the_geek_is_chic 💖
I don’t think we will get any shopping with these riots happening here. I’m sure a second round of Covid is brewing. It has become worst here. We want some revenge shopping but realistic it’s probably not happening until fall if we are lucky.Greetings from Los Angeles.
I agree. New outbreak is on its way and probably new lockdown as well :(
Actually I prefer her minimalist lifestyle and her intelligence in her views compared to Sophie Shohet. She’s very direct and straightforward. Unlike Sophie she’s a bit shady.
I just realised I was not sub'd to you. I watch your vids all the time. In regards to pre-loved market, I am very disappointed in the price hikes. A 2009 reissue selling near $5K on a popular reseller site. I am seeing CF - and some not in "excellent condition", selling for 2019 and beyond prices. For those reselling, they are making a great profit on their older bags. Well, good for them.
In regards to luxury is done, it's time for a reset. Due to CV19 , remote work, lack of social gatherings, etc...there is no reason to have so many of these items. Another reset, is Americans, and perhaps a few other cultures are "luxury hoarders"... I am for one! We have so many bags that look great in our display cases.
I'm curious to hear how European cultures, like Germans, French, etc. view this issue. I follow a French woman.. who says Chanel handbags - "a middle class French woman might not own (1) of these bags". Several years ago, during my international travels, I would tell people I had 15+ designer jeans in my closet... They would look at me in shock.
I am ready to downsize, but minimalism is too austere for me. Thanks for your expertise.
I think sizing down a collection to the most appreciated and personally valued items really does bring more value to our day to day lives with them. 💓
stop buying from then rich, smaller house talent, local or new is where its at!
LV, Gucci and Chanel repulse me now.
too many hair flips, empty video, everyone heard all this before or knows naturally, not interesting
