They buy the simple gucci T-shirts just for clout and bragging about paying a lot for it. That's where Alessandro comes in and makes a huge profit by making those pieces for them and the over the top pkeces for others.
Millennials do not "love" Gucci. Just because the majority of Gucci buyers are millennials, does not mean that the majority of millennials "love" Gucci.
They fail to mention one of the biggest reasons for the love of Gucci and logos. The rise of social media and Instagram means people need something to show off that’s instantly recognizable.
Gabe G imo i feel like the ones with wealthy parents go more for classics like louis, chanel or dior. those who are obsessed with gucci are mostly social media people who knows nothing about luxury longevity

I once walked into a Gucci store with the intention of buying at least one thing, but when I went in, I literally saw nothing I liked. I looked around and thought, “I don’t think I’d ever wear any of this”. I looked at this one plain grey sweater which I thought was decent, but still not enough to spend over $500 on. Some of the stuff at Gucci is way over the top and frankly, just plain weird. Is that the point of Gucci?
Lol I had similar experience. I just realised though they want people to start buying it online, so it's more about a sophisticated online shopping experience, and then you can see the price of something and how it's styled with something, then save money and come back to the page because you know it will still be there.

Yeah for me, it has to be something I genuinely like. Doesn't matter if it's in my price range, if I don't see myself wearing it then I won't bother getting it.
This is absolutely disgusting. I just had a look at the Gucci website and one of their 100% cotton t-shirts is selling for $1,200! What is going on?!

Gucci will never be Kors or Coach. MK sold all their stuff at Marshall and TJ Maxx, so why would anyone go to an MK store and buy their stuff? Poor business model.
Actually lots of non millennials buy luxury goods. I seriously doubt this video is telling the truth because a while back I read an article that claimed the largest group buying luxury goods are older wealthy Chinese tycoons.
Sorry but Gucci would be NOTHING without Tom Ford. The brand was on the verge of obscurity in the 70s and 80s then Tom Ford came in and made it immensely popular. EVERYONE famous wore Gucci during those Tom Ford years. If it wasn't for him Gucci would not have the prestige to its name that it has today. So yeah Alessandro Michele might be enjoying the harvest but it was Tom Ford who made all that possible. #TheMoreYouKnow
I don't think people realize how old millennials actually are. The age range they gave was 18-35, which means there's a lot of millennials out there who are in their mid 30s. Millennials were actually born between the years 1981-1986, putting the youngest at 22 years old. I doubt it's a bunch of "broke young people" buying $400 t-shirts like people shaming them seem to think. A lot of millennials are actually old enough to have stable jobs, which means they could afford name brand stuff. My opinion on consumer culture is irrelevant; I'm just sick of people shaming millennials for being young and stupid when they're older than you think.
@@bibletwink666 Yeah. People like to focus so much on millenials and forget the newer generations completely. Gen Z which are something around 9-22 y.o right now are rarely talked about.
Eh depends on the person. Whether you agree or not, people need to impress other people for their business and if they have to dress a certain way to attract followers/viewers then technically they are investing
Exactly!! I was thinking what kind of millennial can even AFFORD Gucci....? Millennial jobs certainly do NOT pay enough to be able to buy brands like Gucci on top of other expenses like high rent/mortgages nowadays, etc..........unless those millennials have wealthy parents who supplement their income........
Kidat Uni Well there is you’re answer most millennials don’t have mortgages to pay because it’s too expensive to move out. We are staying at home with our parents a little longer meaning we should have a bit of extra cash. Less millennials like myself don’t want children so there once again that’s another reason why you be able to afford luxury goods. It’s also down to you’re lifestyle if you waste your money on going out partying etc you’re not going too have a lot of extra cash. If you know how to budget and save you could buy a new luxury item every few months! It’s down to you and what you choose to cash out on don’t waste your money on so much clothes , don’t waste your money on eating out and buying so much takeaway , don’t waste you’re money on things you don’t need shop smart. Then you can afford all these expensive items make a wish list of what you want to buy set yourself a goal and aim for it. It’s so simple
Not true, Gucci is still a display of wealth. People buy countless knockoffs or fakes to appear to have an expensive look without breaking the bank. So many millennials like myself are now looking to ecommerce clothing brands where you dont pay for that huge hidden price of endorsing celebrities and million dollar marketing campaigns. Many millennials are now focused on quality and sustainability and are willing to pay for that, not stylish company logo. And those who aren't buy fakes.
i never said Gucci wasn't a display of wealth, consider reading before replying. Though your point about millennials increasingly looking for sustainable products many millennial are also focusing flaunting a brand label (rise of supreme and other expensive street wear).
Can the internet not use the word 'millenials' for one day? Also I feel like this is just an extension of youtuber and Instagram bloggers. I used to be very into watching fashion RUclipsrs when I was in school. They only every bought forever 21 or things under 100 dollars. Now everything is so pretentious and all about 'trends'. I can't take these 'influencers' seriously anymore. I mean idc who wears how much Gucci but the RUclips and Instagram obsessive folk with their 'must have' GG belts, dionysus bags and whatever has put me off luxury stuff before I could even get to affording these brands lol.
@@kaelyns6170 I feel like social media reallyyy made everything so weird and silly. If all these platforms didn't take over everyone's lives so much, media, entertainment, fashion etc would still have been chill pastimes.
Well true the internet does always use the word millennial without knowing what it means. Millennial have a specific age group. Also buying designer items is nothing. Back in 2012-2014 people Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors were popular among fashion and beauty vloggers. Also there are problems with fast fashion ( poor working conditions, sustainability issues,etc.).
@@patronusstag Entertainment and the media was never chill. Back in the 90's with the OJ Simpson murder case everyone was glued to their TV's. When Princess Diana was in her car and got chased by the paparazzi and died in a car accident you think the media was "chill" back then? Even in Myspace days there were already issues. Like the top friends list and cyber bullying happening before too.
Idk it’s everywhere in Toronto most UofT students have Gucci Aces and belts... But Gucci is also saturated here so ppl are going to other designer brands like YSL, LV, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Giuseppe Zanotti, Rick Owens, Kenzo, Christian Louboutin, Thom Browne etc...
I love Gucci. I just hate when people wear fake stuff. I totally understand if you can't afford it, but if you can't afford it, don't disgust other people who actually have the real product by getting fake stuff. You don't have to have it. but if you do, don't shame yourself by buying fake stuff. There is no shame in not having nice clothing like Gucci or LV, but, there is when it's fake.
Thrift shops always have anything that suits to me also i love thrift store because their cloth is plain, no large logos on t-shirt also i find so many good sweaters at thrift store
Because people think these 'luxury' brands give them status and confidence. People nowadays live for the approval of other rather than the approval of themself sadly.
Im 28 and work as a FedEx driver. I see everyone near my age at work live pay check to pay check. They cant control their spending yet I’m saving for a house.
Luke Bates Nothing wise about buying this shit unless you're planning on re-selling it to some other sucker stupid enough to waste 300 dollars on a t-shirt.
if you buy for example a limited collaboration like supreme x Louis Vuitton that might be true but gucci isn't limited so in most cases no price increase.
Honestly it’s kind of a shame to see people call this brand “tacky” or “overrated” because there’s actually so much to appreciate about this brand; it has a really long family-history and even a scandal involving the heir of the Gucci brand, showing a time where Gucci was losing their exclusivity and were targeting a different clientele. Guccio Gucci was the funder of the brand, born in Florence, starting with luxurious and handmade luggages and leather goods and then started making their iconic bags - which are simply it-bags - from the bamboo bag to the Jackie to the classic logo.. Michele started to push the boundaries of the history of Gucci’s sleek elegance embracing a new identity, revamping the brand just as Tom Ford did!! He was a game changer and an icon at doing what he does/did. So yeah I’m sorry people don’t see how great this brand still is, still has the same craftsmanship and dedication it once had!!!
I agree. Millennial men especially are more into fashion than the men from the past. It's no longer seen as gay for a guy to be into fashion. But you don't need to spend lots of money to look good.
Depends on what you label as extravagant. If it's a conventional form of extravagant clothing (expensive designer labels), then I agree. I do like it when people are creative with their styling choices, though. But expensive =/= creative
My theory is that gucci has research for every 60's 70's 80's 90's tv shows, comics, movies etc, that were very popular and vintage esthetic... so when millennials think in dress well and complete their outfits they go back in time and memory and pick something secure something vintage something that been seen before instead of something new and futuristic looking, because no one knows what would happen next day... and anxiety culture make a big role in marking and shape millennial taste. Its all marked by work politics and globalwarming and causes. All is very extreme in this times love/hate. Also the planet is very hot and very cold and catastrophes show that. And millennials react to that in a way of play safe and choose something familiar from their youth or memory, something vintage looking like gucci. Idk
Isn’t Gucci is for try too hard tasteless pretenders? Because some people have a bit of money but they don’t do enough research to buy better brands... let’s face it, Gucci is not that expensive after all... I don’t consider any brands that you can buy from premium outlets luxury
Gucci was never tasteless until these types of Millennials (aka rappers/Kardashians/social media "stars" with rich parents) started wearing it.............
is it just me or is the nyu professor LOVES Gucci too.. making her input biased.. nah luxury brands should stick to what they do, that's why they're called luxury because they make you spend smart..
This is just me but those who truly understand fashion know that what makes an outfit is style and silhouette even if the items that stand out are cheap/thrifted rather than glued logos that give off that I understand fashion. These mindsets need a shift to see that I dont have to be naked to look hot or desirable, but the confidence I wear leaves them jaw dropped. Thank you!
“Why do millennials trying to profit on social media love Gucci?” Followed by “Why does Business insider want to talk about a brand who pays people to increase brand awareness?”
2:33 He was making original works but putting the Gucci logo on them. Gucci turned around and knock-off-ed the knock-offs. Then they just simplified the process and did a collab.
@Sehun Min one time I went for lunch with a girl who went to my school cause my mom got in touch with her mom and it was so embarrassing. I and my mom were wearing comfortable, casual clothes and the girl and her mom were wearing full-on Gucci it was pretty funny yet embarrassing cause everyone at the mall was staring at us and my mom never contacted the girl's mom again😂.
This trend is more for the younger crowd I’ve noticed. Most Millennials are mid 30’s. You’ll have the whole Kardashian types sporting the look. Most of this “Gucci Gang” stuff envelopes the generation right after Millennial the most.

True. I hate all those brands ugh
Coach isnt tacky?
Coach is tacky but I like Mk
Gucci will never be Kors or Coach. MK sold all their stuff at Marshall and TJ Maxx, so why would anyone go to an MK store and buy their stuff? Poor business model.
Michael Kors and Coach aren’t nearly as tacky as Gucci, in my opinion.
Y’all see top billionaires wearing Gucci ?
Nope

Lil pump is not a Millennial💀😂 search up the age group for millennials ..cause sis that ain’t it

Actually lots of non millennials buy luxury goods. I seriously doubt this video is telling the truth because a while back I read an article that claimed the largest group buying luxury goods are older wealthy Chinese tycoons.
I couldn't think of a username that’s accurate though. They have Versace furniture.
One of my wealthy friends likes Gucci, and I still don't get the hype.Their stuff seems really cheap and tacky, but the prices are outrageous.
You just described their hype
Sorry but Gucci would be NOTHING without Tom Ford. The brand was on the verge of obscurity in the 70s and 80s then Tom Ford came in and made it immensely popular. EVERYONE famous wore Gucci during those Tom Ford years. If it wasn't for him Gucci would not have the prestige to its name that it has today. So yeah Alessandro Michele might be enjoying the harvest but it was Tom Ford who made all that possible. #TheMoreYouKnow
Exactly.
Ford chose Michele BTW
Not really, since the advent of Michele, Gucci increased of more then 50% every year!
emotion engine this is BIG FACTS! I used to study fashion back in the day and I was thinking this
Not in the eighties. Gucci handbags were very popular in the 80s. I had two of them. Everyone I knew had a Gucci handbag back then.
Gen z is more on this clout tho
Ishil Ali i was born in 2001 am i in gen z
Ana Lara Yes you are in generation Z!
It’s this and supreme that kills our generation
@@arjansahota4911 Eh I'm Gen Z and still don't get the appeal.
I feel like Gen Z needs to be split into 2 seperate mini-generations because older Gen Z people feel distant from younger ones
Simple answer: to show status
I don't think people realize how old millennials actually are. The age range they gave was 18-35, which means there's a lot of millennials out there who are in their mid 30s. Millennials were actually born between the years 1981-1986, putting the youngest at 22 years old. I doubt it's a bunch of "broke young people" buying $400 t-shirts like people shaming them seem to think. A lot of millennials are actually old enough to have stable jobs, which means they could afford name brand stuff. My opinion on consumer culture is irrelevant; I'm just sick of people shaming millennials for being young and stupid when they're older than you think.
Actually a 18 year old would be Gen Z
How did you calculate 22 years from 1981 - 1986. That's 32 years from 2018.
@ohmygodohmygodohmygod ok makes sense. That makes me one of the last millennials then.
People make millennials seem so young, I thougjt they were lkke 18 year olds.
@@bibletwink666
Yeah. People like to focus so much on millenials and forget the newer generations completely. Gen Z which are something around 9-22 y.o right now are rarely talked about.

If it's a comfortable time in the economy, us poor people would never know.
Wonder how much gucci paid for this ad🤔
Spending all their money on brands like Gucci and not investing their money that will make it grow. Instead of showing off
Oh. Well. More money for me.
Eh depends on the person. Whether you agree or not, people need to impress other people for their business and if they have to dress a certain way to attract followers/viewers then technically they are investing
@kabramble me? Hell no im broke
It’s important to enjoy your money as well, what good does all that money do if you never spend any?
I agree on the investing , not the other part.
Reminds me of something I heard awhile ago, "We're using money we don't have, buying things we don't need, to impress people we don't like.
I also “love” Gucci (I’m a millennial), but I love being able to pay for electricity a lot more. 😂
Lol. That’s wisdom.
Exactly!! I was thinking what kind of millennial can even AFFORD Gucci....? Millennial jobs certainly do NOT pay enough to be able to buy brands like Gucci on top of other expenses like high rent/mortgages nowadays, etc..........unless those millennials have wealthy parents who supplement their income........
Kidat Uni Well there is you’re answer most millennials don’t have mortgages to pay because it’s too expensive to move out. We are staying at home with our parents a little longer meaning we should have a bit of extra cash. Less millennials like myself don’t want children so there once again that’s another reason why you be able to afford luxury goods. It’s also down to you’re lifestyle if you waste your money on going out partying etc you’re not going too have a lot of extra cash. If you know how to budget and save you could buy a new luxury item every few months! It’s down to you and what you choose to cash out on don’t waste your money on so much clothes , don’t waste your money on eating out and buying so much takeaway , don’t waste you’re money on things you don’t need shop smart. Then you can afford all these expensive items make a wish list of what you want to buy set yourself a goal and aim for it. It’s so simple
"Young,Dumb,and broke" but still rock Gucci.
i may be broke but at least i'm flexin
@@shamanisticburrito9301 no! You are otaku end of story 😂
I remember people saying 10y ago, that millennials are less materialistic than previous generations. Well, LMFAO.
As long as someone wants to make $$$$, they’ll get people to buy anything.
Not true, Gucci is still a display of wealth. People buy countless knockoffs or fakes to appear to have an expensive look without breaking the bank. So many millennials like myself are now looking to ecommerce clothing brands where you dont pay for that huge hidden price of endorsing celebrities and million dollar marketing campaigns. Many millennials are now focused on quality and sustainability and are willing to pay for that, not stylish company logo. And those who aren't buy fakes.
i never said Gucci wasn't a display of wealth, consider reading before replying. Though your point about millennials increasingly looking for sustainable products many millennial are also focusing flaunting a brand label (rise of supreme and other expensive street wear).
U are so cheap, fake rich, attention seeker and trying to fit in
Can the internet not use the word 'millenials' for one day?
Also I feel like this is just an extension of youtuber and Instagram bloggers. I used to be very into watching fashion RUclipsrs when I was in school. They only every bought forever 21 or things under 100 dollars. Now everything is so pretentious and all about 'trends'. I can't take these 'influencers' seriously anymore.
I mean idc who wears how much Gucci but the RUclips and Instagram obsessive folk with their 'must have' GG belts, dionysus bags and whatever has put me off luxury stuff before I could even get to affording these brands lol.
There are luxury brands that are still good for the most part but yeah, beauty/outfit blogging died around 2013-14 imo and I was only around 14.
But also I just hate what happened to fashion and culture and music in general around 2013. I just hate the 20teens basically.
@@kaelyns6170 I feel like social media reallyyy made everything so weird and silly. If all these platforms didn't take over everyone's lives so much, media, entertainment, fashion etc would still have been chill pastimes.
Well true the internet does always use the word millennial without knowing what it means. Millennial have a specific age group. Also buying designer items is nothing. Back in 2012-2014 people Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors were popular among fashion and beauty vloggers. Also there are problems with fast fashion ( poor working conditions, sustainability issues,etc.).
@@patronusstag Entertainment and the media was never chill. Back in the 90's with the OJ Simpson murder case everyone was glued to their TV's. When Princess Diana was in her car and got chased by the paparazzi and died in a car accident you think the media was "chill" back then? Even in Myspace days there were already issues. Like the top friends list and cyber bullying happening before too.
The true answer is hip hop/rap
Gucci Mane. 🤷🏾♀️
I know a total of zero millennials who love or wear Gucci, both wealthy and poor. Where is Business Insider getting their data from?
It is told at the beginning of the video
Idk it’s everywhere in Toronto most UofT students have Gucci Aces and belts... But Gucci is also saturated here so ppl are going to other designer brands like YSL, LV, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Giuseppe Zanotti, Rick Owens, Kenzo, Christian Louboutin, Thom Browne etc...
What you need to see is that Gucci is worldwide Company, so it sell in almost every big city
BrickBreakDown which part of Toronto are you getting this from? I go to u of t and see no Gucci literally anywhere...
Taylor Mailer if u attend St George it’s literally everywhere... especially among Rotman students
Everything Gucci was super ugly , there's a lot awfulness in branded stuff , Supreme is the worst , basically labelled garbage
N0000 N0000 same. and even worse, gucci items has no value over time unlike other luxury brands who produces luxurious classics
Agreed but in my opinion id have children and hypebeast buy supreme instead of actual fashion brands.
Preach
Supreme has never been attractive, just completely tasteless.
I disagree about EVRYTHING from gucci being ugly tho, it's mostly the ghetto stuff.
I love Gucci. I just hate when people wear fake stuff. I totally understand if you can't afford it, but if you can't afford it, don't disgust other people who actually have the real product by getting fake stuff. You don't have to have it. but if you do, don't shame yourself by buying fake stuff. There is no shame in not having nice clothing like Gucci or LV, but, there is when it's fake.
and i'm just out here, loving thrift shops.
Thrift shops always have anything that suits to me also i love thrift store because their cloth is plain, no large logos on t-shirt also i find so many good sweaters at thrift store
Even i have more than enough to buy something at luxury cloth stores but I still love thrift shops
Because people think these 'luxury' brands give them status and confidence. People nowadays live for the approval of other rather than the approval of themself sadly.
iBuqX people have always been living for the approval of others this doesn’t change through time . Sad but true
This is the stereotypical thought of older generations not the millennial, don’t pretend that you know

Most millennials have no clue how to properly handle money.
BAHNBOSS - well, most people don’t know how to. Older and younger.
Luke Bates are you serious? It’s a bit hard to understand irony online.
Luke Bates Nothing wise about buying this shit unless you're planning on re-selling it to some other sucker stupid enough to waste 300 dollars on a t-shirt.
Most people don’t know how to not just millennials
if you buy for example a limited collaboration like supreme x Louis Vuitton that might be true but gucci isn't limited so in most cases no price increase.
I was born into a wealthy family, and I’ve never bought anything from gucci, I usually shop at Zara or Nordstrom

@@hayman122 i cant read this. Just saying
@@hayman122 let me guess, you're a boomer?
Honestly it’s kind of a shame to see people call this brand “tacky” or “overrated” because there’s actually so much to appreciate about this brand; it has a really long family-history and even a scandal involving the heir of the Gucci brand, showing a time where Gucci was losing their exclusivity and were targeting a different clientele.
Guccio Gucci was the funder of the brand, born in Florence, starting with luxurious and handmade luggages and leather goods and then started making their iconic bags - which are simply it-bags - from the bamboo bag to the Jackie to the classic logo.. Michele started to push the boundaries of the history of Gucci’s sleek elegance embracing a new identity, revamping the brand just as Tom Ford did!! He was a game changer and an icon at doing what he does/did.
So yeah I’m sorry people don’t see how great this brand still is, still has the same craftsmanship and dedication it once had!!!

It’s not that they love gucci, they just love fashion More than every before, showing off is apart of the culture. It’s not just gucci
Oh no. They don't love fashion. Most instagramers buy those gucci white shirts for clout rather then fashion.
nah most of them are just clout chasers. all about that instagram flex but are tasteless. 😴
I agree. Millennial men especially are more into fashion than the men from the past. It's no longer seen as gay for a guy to be into fashion. But you don't need to spend lots of money to look good.
I wonder how many of these Gucci millenials save for their retirement and live independently
Personally, overy extravagant clothing is just such a turn off for me.
#dontfollowthetrend
Depends on what you label as extravagant. If it's a conventional form of extravagant clothing (expensive designer labels), then I agree. I do like it when people are creative with their styling choices, though. But expensive =/= creative
My theory is that gucci has research for every 60's 70's 80's 90's tv shows, comics, movies etc, that were very popular and vintage esthetic... so when millennials think in dress well and complete their outfits they go back in time and memory and pick something secure something vintage something that been seen before instead of something new and futuristic looking, because no one knows what would happen next day... and anxiety culture make a big role in marking and shape millennial taste. Its all marked by work politics and globalwarming and causes. All is very extreme in this times love/hate. Also the planet is very hot and very cold and catastrophes show that. And millennials react to that in a way of play safe and choose something familiar from their youth or memory, something vintage looking like gucci. Idk
I would rather buy Gucci stock than it's product
Isn’t Gucci is for try too hard tasteless pretenders? Because some people have a bit of money but they don’t do enough research to buy better brands... let’s face it, Gucci is not that expensive after all... I don’t consider any brands that you can buy from premium outlets luxury
What do u call luxury

@@ilikealotofthings731 dayym
Gucci was never tasteless until these types of Millennials (aka rappers/Kardashians/social media "stars" with rich parents) started wearing it.............
Gucci sales didn’t increase until MICHELE took control. He is responsible for it all. Just how Slimane was for Saint Laurent.
is it just me or is the nyu professor LOVES Gucci too.. making her input biased..
nah luxury brands should stick to what they do, that's why they're called luxury because they make you spend smart..
I use to love GUCCI back in the late 1980's and 1990's. Now it's just common for young rich kids who have no idea what the brand used to be about.
This is just me but those who truly understand fashion know that what makes an outfit is style and silhouette even if the items that stand out are cheap/thrifted rather than glued logos that give off that I understand fashion. These mindsets need a shift to see that I dont have to be naked to look hot or desirable, but the confidence I wear leaves them jaw dropped. Thank you!
“Why do millennials trying to profit on social media love Gucci?” Followed by “Why does Business insider want to talk about a brand who pays people to increase brand awareness?”
💯
millenials, they either cant afford rent, tuition, houses, and groceries.. yet buy 600 dollar belts
Noone buys a 600dollar belt if you have debt i am debt free with 3000dollars each month and i buy so much gucci its insane i Love it!
@Death Omen I get the real thing, just very infrequently. Id rather wear no name clothes than splurge on fake stuff.
This is why I buy and wear Prada.
So basically, buy fake stuff and no one will ever know. 😂

Hey i have enough money to buy something at gucci but eh gucci have nothing that suits to me or i like
I prefer Versace and Burberry over any Gucci goods
Nikelia Marks true
It's just so mainstream
This trend is more for the younger crowd I’ve noticed. Most Millennials are mid 30’s. You’ll have the whole Kardashian types sporting the look. Most of this “Gucci Gang” stuff envelopes the generation right after Millennial the most.
Hermes is better
On god
Isn't it like 10,000x more expensive tho for no reason
I don't like Hermes at all. I think fashion house like Prada and Balenciaga have much more creative and divers designs
Millennials: wearing a 1000 dollar coat while struggling to pay rent
🥱
“RAP MUSIC” is why Gucci is getting more n more popular with the youth
It’s not a status if you didn’t work for for the money but instead just make debt in your bank.
