derek guy and lowluxury was no where near my bingo card this year, crazy cross over
Imagine my shock when brand called "Depressed Rich Kids" caters to rich kids who try to fill the depression void with expensive impulse buy hauls
I think paying 660 for a hat whose message you dont agree with is very strange
I'm lost on that one. Nobody who sees it will be in on the "joke". It's like wearing a maga hat ironically, only one person knows it's ironic.
I dont even think its ironic. The kid who runs that label grew up in private schools and luxury. Doubt hes a Democrat and it doesn't matter either.
It's the end result of being desperate to find meaning in consumerism.
@@bubbychoner6697 that's a good take ngl
@@bubbychoner6697🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 nailed it
This has to be my favorite video of yours, blew it out of the water with this one, keep it up!
I believe luxury as we know it is heading in the direction of fast fashion, with more of these Houses (particularly those under LVMH) continuing to chase greater profit margins under the guise of 'appealing' to the shrinking aspirational middle class. You can expect to see more Houses follow Gucci onto the discount rack in the coming decade such as Burberry, Marc Jacobs and even heritage brands such as Dior and Celine.
EDIT: When I mean to say brands like Burberry, I'm particularly referencing their signature pieces - the trench coat being heavily discounted is evident of this.
The word fascism is used more like a blanket statement buzz word to categorize ideals you don't align with. I'm not sure how the hat design is what took the edigness too far, when ERD has historically produced much more profain and sinister designs. I fail to see the "wink or nod" in any of their Columbine or domestic abuse promoting designs.
agreed, weird video and im a leftist, think he had the right idea to discuss the hat but then went on a rant without realizing it
Like word WOKE😂
this probably your best vid fr, yo fit was fire too😂 u snapped fr
Making video commentary on a topic/issue that BOTH participants admit that they *willingly* perpetuate rings very hollow, especially considering the obvious political leanings and lack of levity displayed throughout the video. Dig deeper or just stick to clothing reviews!
It is so hart to tell what is irony and not, nowadays.
i don’t disagree with you really but i think the term fascist is used so loosely
Agreed and i think that when you comment on this or any side trying to be non bias you still get pushed into these far extremes
i honestly dont think it is...
@@zatty232centre right populists are called fascist these days
i think the term isn't used loosely enough
While the left was in power and calling everyone racists, any type of 'phobic', and bigots, the dying middle class turned to more conservative ideals. Who would of thought of such a thing... Don't make the working class feel like second class citizens in their own country, ever again.
for the hat, I believe ERD successfully cashed out on some of their customers, which I feel like imo, they’re the type who want to adhere to “anti-fashion” and the “look” of punk, but their colonized bias will always be there, and the other half of their customers, who are buying that piece as a comedy commentary
22:17 I just saw this now lmao this is pretty much what I was trynna say
Same with demna balenciaga to a certain extent
@@yvvvs 100% agree
Buy less, buy heritage
was not expecting this collab
23:17 this for me I disagree with, having style and looking nice would always stay in me, my family used to be in harsh poverty when they lived in South America, and this is where my family learned to sew and tailor, and to this day I was taught and that eventually stepped me into the door of fashion.
This might be your best video yet. Kudos!
Did you know that “nazi” stands for national socialist?
@@Behzey2fly did you know its a historical fact that they only called themselves that to attract potential voters, and were no even remotely socialist?
nazis were not socialist 😭
@neonguts_ yeah they were 😂, there is different types of socialism
Everyone knows that. But ask yourself if they were socialists why did the actual communists and socialists of Germany fight against them every step of the way? Why were they jailed and unions decimated under the Nazis? They took that name because they nationalized some of the German market and the name appealed to the working classes of Germany. The markets were then handed over to Hitler acolytes to run. There was nothing actual leftist about them. They weren’t created and monitored to enrich and empower the working classes. It was all done to give complete control the party and prepare the German war machine. There’s a reason all real history teachers, books, and information has since the dawn of the Nazi party and up until the last few years only been referred to as a far right fascist party. It’s only in the last few years anyone claiming otherwise it’s been given any credence. And that ties into this video. It’s the fascist drift of the world, the right creeping into every facet of society. With fake facts and misinformation and the world being run by people like Musk who lean fascist themselves. With Trump who is no history buff or politician and spews bs and listens to his advisors on whatever sells. Which is confusion, populism and catering to the right wing Christo-Fascists of America. Which means making weird claims like embracing fascism and Nazi-lite ideals; but Nazi still being a bad word so trying to somehow tie them to the left.
@@nittwittslikk5241what type were they? please explain this LOL
Great video, loved your collab with Derek!
Such a thought-provoking discussion! 🤔 The insights from Derek Guy on the death of luxury are really eye-opening. Definitely making me rethink luxury fashion! 👗💭
This is great content bro, ❤❤
This is one of the best videos you’ve produced
Best video u have ever done. Been watching for like 2 years great job and don’t stop ur getting better and better
You can feel the direction of the wind changing. You're afraid...
Wdym?
I disagree with your politics, good vid tho
Great guest! I agree, race to the bottom and bifurcation of the market. Lower luxury brands almost consolidated but were blocked from merging recently due to their plans to increase market share and along with it, prices.
Soo if fashion houses are pumping new designs every season for example winter fall spring and summer wouldn’t that lose the point since people are just wearing previous designs less than a year?
Fantastic video bro!!
what a great collaboration
I’m glad you’re coming around to Kanye’s ideas about fashion
Good points on the NYYRC pieces. I also found the lack of "wink or nod" to be offputting, yet these pieces sold like crazy with the young edgy male customers. Is it the 4chan-ification of the brand, where the obvious satire and irony is missed by the newer fans of the label, or is it just GenZ nihilism where only the edginess matters?
Is a New York Republican club hat really that edgy? Most would say boring and stuffy.
Not edgy enough
Не знаю конечно как ты смотришь на мир, но у нас в России много брендов своих появилось за последние 15 лет (примерно за пару лет до взлета Гоши Рубчинского). Думаю, после 2022 и того что некоторые компании ушли с нашего рынка у нас появилось много концептуальных брендов (хоть некоторые и пытаются воровать с Запада, у нас уже давно есть те кто их разоблачает, так что бездари долго не живут). По поводу кепка сказать того же не могу, потому что ERD с самого начала это градация между иронией и протестом, просто видимо из за того что бренд стал иронизировать над тем с чем вы не согласны.
P.S. в западном сегменте нормальных коммунистов нету. Идеи Сталинизма не Сталин придумал, а его фанаты с других концов света, которые выдумали какой то свой образ из человека, которому по факту досталось государство после гражданской войны и иностранной интервенции, которому пришлось пронести государство через вторую мировую войну. Человек принимал решения исходя из возможно, а не из им желаемого и точ то есть безумца на Западе кто хочет так же- ужасает
P.S.2 делать нарочито темный фон и серьезное лицо- дёшевы трюк, у нас за такое высмеивают обычно, но может у вас это закон жанра
Great takes
This one’s worth subscribing for
"Just because I'm anti-facism, doesn't mean I'm pro soviet communism" THANK YOU! It really feels like everybody has to be either far right or far left nowadays, there doesn't seem to be any room for more nuanced political takes. Extremist ideologies will always be bad.
It really doesn’t, you’re just adhering to social constructs and that’s completely on you, make your own decision
@@shorenotchia3389 I'm sure you live completely outside of society in a cabin out in the woods.
Derek just said Trump was fascist. He is not.
I think if you explained your 'nuanced political takes' you would just be a centrist...
@@andersonisowo9603 nope, I'm pretty firmly left, I just think communism is way too far and causes more problems than it solves
amazing video man
Trump has nothing to do with any of this.
sorry i won't malign big daddy ever again im so sorry please forgive me omg i cant believe this
0:00 what name music you use, that so beautiful
Banger video
17:45 because you can't ironically push a different button?
Can you make a video about the brand Bossi
You confuse , right wing and conservative with facist and nazism when you use the term that loosely it loses it’s meaning
Amazing video. liked and subbed :] i also feel called out by this video unfortunately :/
big collab
Derek Guy has many great points whule lowluxury is just being schizophrenic
Oh hey, I'm the "fascist" guy in a suit, thanks for the recognition!
Very USA-centered view, as it usually happens with Americans. Have you considered that a lot of these designers are actually European, and may be concerned by another problems that you are not aware of? Or that there are other huge markets for luxury (middle-east, China, Europe) that are also important to the producers? Whole world doesn't revolve around you guys
bruh. idc where in the world it is, fascism ain't the answer to those problems.
@LOWluxury that is true, I am not defending fascism) I am just saying that may be some of these designers are talking about something else, not about American elections
Maybe the latest ERD Republican pieces are poking at the "new right" that the ruling class astroturfed in the "Dimes Square" scene. Basically, edgy trust fund contrarian chronically online 20 somethings living in Chinatown that think they're different or "punk" for being anti-PC. It would fit the whole subculture nerd narrative you brought up in the video, but at the same time its kind of a reach. That mussolini stuff is also releasing next season, and nothing about it screams tongue-in-cheek or irony. I think one sweatshirt is literally a painting of mussolini and the fascist flag of italy. I guess that can be said about the Mao pieces and the stalin sweatshirt. At least they do both sides lol.
It's me :(
LUXURY IS A FAKE WORD BOY 😂
thanks for indoctrinating me to become republican, i'm so glad i didn't spend my life's savings on ERD like you have and have a life boat when the shit hits the fan. Bless Trump Bless Elon for seeing it coming.
For seeing what coming exactly?
your best video yet. Stalin isn't fascist though lmaoao.
Bro come on, calling Elon Musk a fascist is really stupid
….
No it's not
@@bygonewaves yeah bro, it is. Sorry to break it to you. Time to leave your left wing bubble and interact with regular people (or intellectuals) who think differently than you
@sulamy1955 Fascism is the joining of corporate interest & the state in an effort to protect capitalism. That's exactly what is occurring.
@@bygonewaves lmao, how different is that from Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Obama and so on? Do you consider the democrats to be fascist too?
I do not think that hat is cool and I think 99.99% of people who see you wear it will think you are a right wing podcast consumer. Love the content fr though lol.
Weird
Wow first lol
This lighting is crazy
