- Inspired by Nicholas Ghesquiere increadible talent, while being fooled by the retail of Louis Vuitton is devastating. Not that i would ever walk in a store and get something. But if i would want to, i could not. See more details in this video.
Also idk why i started with this topic, but it somehow relates with the evolution of personal style. How important it is. How it is the pure reflection of your personality, your identity. Its beautiful actually. Your raw self, in the mirror. Chosen items that are the materialstic reincarnation of your brain cells. I could keep on going, but my dishwasher needs to be emptied. One of the things i hate the most in life. Love you, bye.

Loved this video,
The way I developed my own style was by deleting all my social media 2 years ago (apart from RUclips).
I am not sure if it really is the reason but it definitely helped me. As you said, to figure out what is our personal style is the best feeling. I dress completely different from people of my age but living in Paris probably makes it easier
this is such a brave move! I also wonder sometimes, what I would dress like, if I was all alone with the ideas. your inner voice should never be surpressed by the trends of others.
i always liked the sale vides even though i never bought something (dont have the budget atm). But i like the way you describe the reasons why a item is interesting to you. And in general i like discovering new items and brands and your content.
i will come back with it! but happy to hear that you like it! 💐
Omg yes I love your sales videos, that's how I found your channel!
Conglomerates snapping up design houses is killing fashion. It's easy for them to see what items are moving across brands when they own them all. After awhile the metrics start dictating to the creative teams to copy each other. Bottega Green is an example. It was copied by other brands to the point of over saturation. Pricing is following the same path. $750 sweatpants regardless of brand is now the norm.
i did a huge binge watch of all your videos and this is my far my favorite video of yours. loved hearing all your reasons why you love ghesquire-his craftsmanship, his genius, really seeing your respect for him-and also your critique of the fashion industry showing one thing (an exceptional garment) but selling another thing (a mediocre dupe of the marketed version) at the same very high price, while also pondering how LV is a brand bought by the masses as a status indicator and almost never for the craftsmanship or creative ethos that you love about fashion. the masses buying the LV littered with logos have the aim to show that they spend thousands of dollars for a name & logo; you, on the other hand, want to buy a piece of art created by Ghesquire.
I hate that LVMH shows one thing, and then sells some tacky merchandise. Kering brands usually sell most of what is presented on the runway.
TUBA! Nicolas forever! Remember the Balenciaga 2006-2011 Also the campaign! my god! I mean apart from my dark leanings with avant garde designers, GHESQUIRE is one designer that made me dream…
This video came at the right timing.
Yes!
The ill-fitting blazer over a ruffled skirt over ill-fitting slouchy stiletto-heeled boots on the LV runway was enough for me to tap out
Great video! Would love a longer discussion on tips developing personal style
I think the reason for the large gap between the runways and the boutiques is Nicolas Ghésquire's aesthetic, the price of recreating the pieces and the size of Louis Vuitton as a company.
- Nicolas Ghésquire is somewhat of an experimentalist when he approaches clothes. Since his Balenciaga days, he has pushed the boundaries in terms of what a designer can come up with. While this earned him the title of "most original designer of the '00s", it can repulse the average luxury RTW customer. This was one of his biggest issues towards the end of his tenure at Balenciaga.
- His' experimentalism means the development of new textiles, intricate embroideries and complex construction, all of which costs money and at Louis Vuitton's scale, lots of money. Expensive to make = even more expensive to buy and Louis Vuitton probably has very large margins.
- It cost Louis Vuitton several hundreds of millions of euros to operate. To stay in the black, they need to make billions in sales. These sales support thousands of people, Nicolas Ghésquire, the late Virgil Abloh, their respective design and sample teams, the marketing team, the boutiques and their employees as well as outsourced services such as factories for mass production, event producers for shows and digital content, models, etc.
Nicolas Ghésquire CANNOT be a financial loss for a company that spends insane amounts of money to support and sell his vision.
I think style is a reflection of the self (like it doesn't really make you who you are, it just reflects who you are.) And since a person is always changing, a person's style is always changing. Of course, this doesn't mean you always have to be buying new stuff. Something you bought 3 years ago can reflect on who you are today just like something you buy today can reflect on who you are 3 years from now.
I loved this video and while I've watched all the previous ones, this is my first comment.
I find your commentary on Vuitton interesting because I had the same frustration with Prada In the past (when Prada was worth buying). The huge difference between the runway and the stores.
I do own some Vuitton RTW and I must also add that things have changed for the better compared to the Marc Jacobs years when the RTW was only produced in very very limited quantities.
It's interesting to see the evolution. I bought some pieces from NG first collection for Vuitton. The collection was very pragmatic. Most of things were produced and some special pieces (I remember an alligator coat) were either already sold after the re-see for the best clients , made to order or produced in exclusivity (like item worldwide for example). They have done this since the beginning.
But now I think there's this kind of thing where Nicolas express his creativity on the runway, design a more tone down version for the stores and the extreme runway pieces will either be for the red carpet or produced in limited quantities. Unfortunately, I'm someone who likes to try pieces before buying them. I hate the idea of ordering a piece without being sure you will like it once worn.
But I must say that what is shown on the website is not representative of what is sold on the boutiques. Vuitton has some particular boutiques where they sells RTW and each stores have a particular selection. Some of the most exquisite pieces may be for one of the key Paris stores, the NYC store or the Asian market.
But I really subscribe on the idea of selling what you show. I'm very curious to see how the Resort collection will be translated. It was one of the most extreme proposition he has made for Vuitton even if the silhouette were familiar for anyone who knows his work.
You're in big trouble with her now for bad mouthing Prada. heh heh
Thank you for your videos! They are really addictive!
I’m not really into fashion I come from a totally other world and I don’t buy designer clothes, but I’m somehow how attracted to it, mainly for the idea of fashion or for the idea I put behind it.
When you spoke about romanticism and uniform, it has, for me, something to do with the figure of the dandy: strong individuality, a taste for beauty, living an aesthetic life, etc. Of course dandyism in the 18th century had reactionary ideas so it needs to be actualised to contemporary standards. For me people passionate about fashion in a true sense are dandys. Those are not people who buy labels just for the sake of it, but to express themselves through clothes.
And to meet you on the subject of the video, it leads me to Demna’s work. Mainly at Vêtements, the spring 2018 collection. When you see those expensive clothes worn by normal people in the street, for me it says, everyone could be creative, you don’t need to die wanting expensive inaccessible clothes, you can be stylish without a lot of means.
So I see two paths in fashion. The mimetic one: buying labels to prove I’m part of a selected group, an elite. The individualistic one: I buy what serves my self expression, designer clothes or not. I guess the mimetic one is always winning but as dandys we couldn’t care less :)
Really interesting video Tuba! Keep up the good work! Don’t leave it so long next time!! 😊❤️
Please bring back the sales videos!
That was super interesting! Thanks! Maybe I understand my past style a little bit more and by understanding can find a new one better while struggling to find what feels really like being me which makes it hard to invest in some more luxurious pieces.
glad to see u back, loving the top
Thank u Tuba Ur videos are amazing 🫧🤍
Fashion houses market their brand on the runway
However, they realise what has more chance of selling and what wont - that is what ends up selling retail
I guess they even know if before the runway, they adapt to different consumer profiles. Runway watchers care about fashion, consumers mostly less.
Same! Love the video support the sale video 🤍
Welcome back, celeb sis!!
It’s always been that stores will buy the safe clothes or will change the design to sell to their customers, I find that all the stores look the same, is hard to find a place that’s selective and that makes a statement
I think the saddest thing when it comes to the discrepancy between LV runway and RTW is that the end consumer doesn’t care about or value the work of Nicholas at all, I think the majority of them actually think what he does is ugly. He is such a wasted talent at LV.
And when it comes to me as a fashion lover, and a long time NG stan I don’t buy LV because the items within my budget don’t represent Ghesquiere’s design but the regular commercial blah blah LV.
I think the problem here is LVMH and Arnault's business model, he essentially keeps talented designers on a payroll for shows, hype and to isolate them from competitors. Kering has a totally different approach, and they actually SELL RTW the way it is shown on the runway. Majority of LV customers are bored moms who just buy bags, they don't even know who Nicholas is, and according to their comments, they thing his clothes are hideous, if they buy something its just some very tacky basic monogram stuff, which LV sells as RTW. Only Hedi sells unaltered RTW in LVMH, and I can see that it may cause tensions with management, because Arnault would be totally happy to reduce RTW offer to shoes and logo t-shirts, and concentrate all sales on bags.
Yeah I definitely get it. I know people that wear H&M, Zara, Shein clothes meanwhile wearing Gucci, Balenciaga , Dior sneakers and bags. It’s disrespectful to the brands history in my opinion but I have to also acknowledge the cost per wear.
It's like the fashion houses are knocking off their own runway creations. What a shame.
haha and even worse!
It’s always the shoe or the necklace because only 1 or 2 % of the world can afford the runway dress, don’t think it’s just a matter of “taste”
you
Well I don't know that the reality in the showroom is that bad. It's always that the clothes are mere afterthought to sell the bags.
Why did Nicholas Ghesquier leave Louis Vuitton?
He is still there
i asume that with the capacities neccesary to afford these unreasonable vestments comes a lot of stress.... usually ppl develop anxiety about money and status - their concerns lie on that. Juxstaposing a fashion brands history, meaning, directors and anyone involved in the process of production, tends to not fit in to this straining way of living. Since it is very easy or hard to not manifest oneself in to said category, most people do not care.
You cant blame them, realy. Yet, that causes a monetarization of art .... besides other things. :/
Interesting thought, In the end, though, I think they can kind of empathize. At least with consumers who understand the vision. There just seems to be hardly anyone who does and that again leads to monogram handbags and sneakers
@@tubaavalon yes id agree
Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌 😃
of all the brands that use runways to sell keychains LV has to be one of the worst offenders. I don't think they really care about RTW sales numbers at all, i'm sure its a tiny fraction of their overall revenues, so as long as the SLGs keep selling they likely won't be changing their strategy.
T he shows are the biggest marketing instruments, the ambassadors, the locations. It feels like LV still has to fight for its image while being the most profitable brand. Still they have an older audience vs. Balenciaga, Prada and need to work on that as well. Everybody has their ugly bestsellers, but this is another level.
@@tubaavalon i'm reminded of the scene in the september issue when the department store owner asks the designer if they could redisgn the coat in a lighter fabric. fashion is a balancing act between the artistic design and the reality of selling wearable clothes people will buy. i think couture was created so that the designer woldnt have to compromise, at least not to anyone except for the actual buyer. so LV is out here trying to get the buzz of putting out a couture show without actually maintaining a couture house.
Ironically when I worked at LV last year, RTW was the category that they wanted us to push the most. The bags and SLGs are almost an afterthought because those sell well regardless.
And yet the women's RTW was the hardest to sell. Frankly the women's rtw was not popular. The men's rtw fared a lot better.
