- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The NMACC or Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center kicked off it's first official gala, which had some of the greatest stars of Bollywood and Hollywood converge on Mumbai, India. Designers from India like Rahul Mishra, Manish Malhotra, and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosia all dressed the glitter titans of some of the biggest television and movie series, like Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra as well as Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Tom Holland, and Emma Chamberlain. It was a wonderful display of Indian cultural dress and fashion, and I'm excited to see what next year brings!

As an Indian person, I am genuinely impressed because you really know what styles they are and you can distinguish traditional clothes from non traditional ones.
Umm, no… He doesn’t “really know” about Indian styles because he messed up a couple of times… Not blaming him, he tried well, but to say he “really knows” what Indian styles are is a bit of a stretch…
Yes, Luke researched very well and did his best to give his opinion.
I mean... It's not that hard to tell the difference.
GIGI'S dress is my Favourite 🖐😀👍
Abe chutiye, wo indian person nahi...its called as indian citizen. Bhofdike language toh seekh le kam se kam.
The Indians here know that the paparazzi was the real star of this event.
😂
no one:
my mind: tom tom tooouum gigi ikde ae nickwa
😂
@@irasharma3199 jhaandyaaa look this mobile 😭
@me they were not trying to be
They were just having fun... Change your perspective
And it's not like as if they made someone mad
As an Indian I'm so used to seeing extensive embroidery in dresses that it feels strange that you are so shocked by it. It makes me extremely proud of our culture.
Exactly 😂
I have always adored so many amazing Indian dresses and styles, and there are so many that I've yet to see, given the huge range of cultural blends and variations. I do some embroidery myself so I have huge admiration and respect for the styles and artists behind them. I've noticed that because embroidery is so much more commonly used over there, it doesn't increase the cost of the garment (even with currency conversions etc) like it does over in the west. There's stunning ornate embroidery panels in some Indian pieces that I've seen that would cost a fortune for such detail over here, and yet people are like "yeah that's... just standard embroidery" in India 😂.
I’m pretty sure India is about to eat up the international style world. With all the traditional fashion elements they have, when they start mixing that with non traditional styles, and innovating they will DESTROY. Which has already started but so much more is likely coming. I’ve been around the world and Indian style can be touched in terms of opulence.
So glad to see you talk about the Indian fashion industry, because it truly holds some amazing talent. For anyone interested in it, apart from the usual popular names like Manish Malhotra, Satya Paul and JJ Valaya I suggest looking into brands like Chamaar Studio and Doodlage, as I truly believe so many Indian brands are pushing the envelope in sustainability, ethics and design. Also Bodice and Two Point Two's SS 23 Lakme Fashion Week collections are worth looking at.
Thank you for the references ❤️
also Chanakya! They worked with dior for the fashion show and it was gorgeous!
You talk about ethics? Well I wish the industry would push for darker skinned women to be more of a focus tbh.
Love that you highlighted Chamar Studio - would love to know more Dalit designers!!!
@@d818581dd oh for sure, I find that on the runway dark skinned models are definitely given their moment. It's commercially where they don't get enough attention especially, and ofc the film industry (I include them because they do have an important role to play in the fashion industry too). Im also really excited to see plus size and trans models finally being included, and I hope to see more of them too.
16:53 Gigi -the saree has Chickenkari embroidery from Lucknow city from India, the saree must be ivory but since stitches are shadow embroidery that is why you have that illusion of different Color.
20:09 Kareena lehnga has mirror embroidery along with thread and French knots
21:21 Saif pants are Jodhpurs, it’s suppose to be bigger on the thigh area ,he is from a royal family so no wonder he went for it. Google Jodhpur pants and you will learn.
24:15 Kriti’s dress is in brocade from Banaras city, Banaras is known for it brocade sarees and it’s rich textile. The yarn was suppose to dip in pure gold and then interweaved with silk yarns.
Minimum time to make such saree is 6-8 months depending on the motifs on handloom.
Of course it’s been more commercial these days and they are making these in power loom.
29:17 sabyasachi ‘s logo is Calcutta tiger that is on the waist belt. You NEED to go to his flagship store in Christopher street in NY, it’s opulent and you will see the best of India embroidery. That store is an experience!!
32:19 Abu jain Sandeep Khosla brand is known for chikankari embroidery so that kaftan is in Chikankari embroidery along with Muhkesh embroidery, (muhkesh is basically flat metallic thread sewn on the fabric and then beaten to give more like an 3D metallic star look ). too as well as Gigi’s saree.
34:08 jewellery is from Amrapali, from Jaipur.
36:29 Sara’s Lehnga is all embroidered it’s zardoz which is made of fine metal wire and gold thread along with gold beads.all hand sewen. It’s finest embroidered.
37:54 it’s mirror embroidery from Kutch district from Gujarat.
39:34 not my favourite, it’s vintage Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla , this kinda styling used to be in 90’s, not very new and totally boring
I am so glad that you did this review, it’s high time India should get highlighted for its heritage ,art and embroidery.
❤❤❤ from 🇮🇳
This comment should be pinned ❤
Chikan Kari is amazing.( Sorry I can't spell)🤦🏻♂️
babes don't say chickenkari to foreigners...its chikan kari.........bro u all r Indian how could u do that😭😭
@@vanessa____59 pardon my French. YKIYK ✨
@@nidhisharma9 👁👄👁🤦♀🤦♀💁♀
Listen, Asian and African designers have been killing it for a long time now and they've been so overlooked. The use of design and embroidery put together with breath taking fabrics is salute to innovative and traditional aesthetics. I enjoyed your review very much and would love to see more of these designers!😊
Definitely agree. These designs are breathtaking. even the best pieces I've seen in western galas don't compare to any of these. The embroidery is just amazing. And the craftsman ship just looks so much better. It looks much more carefully and artfully made than majority of what I see Schiaparelli or Valentino putting out
@@snek149 Becoz it's all hand embroidered and the artisans are all highly skilled folks doing this since ages, learning from their ancestors and preserving the Traditional Craftwork
it's not being overlooked.. if western opinions are your base of what matters, then that's a you problem
I love how you addressed the fact that you can appreciate culture but also know your measurements so it looks good 😂💗
Luke's desi subscribers will sleep well tonight!
literally me
finally Indian events getting the recognition and roasts it deserves ❤
@@preferingpeace-qj3we 😂
Studied Indian textiles at school and the skills and cultural significance of their garments I feel is under appreciated
It’s like good but not good enough
India doesn't need superior American opinion 😯🤨🤔
@@ASH9366 wtf?
Just quickly popping in here to say that Alia Bhatt’s sari is very much a real sari. I think in the US y’all see more traditional versions of Indian clothing, maybe because they’re passed down from the older generations that immigrated. More modern saris are very much par for the course at weddings etc. here, at least outside super traditional sections of society. Loved that you took the time to learn everything you did about our traditional textiles and garments!
YESSSS I was gonna say this- thankyou for saying this
Yes I was shouting same while watching a video that it's not a sari looking gown but an actual sari 😂😂
No, I have seen many old sarees, they are way more elegant than the ones we see in west and Bollywood events.
Infact due to my interest in handloom, I have been to many exhibitions where the artists have shown their original designs that generations used to weave. They are simple and elegant.
The Alia saree is definitely modern. None of the people in 80s 90s wore such saree.
I think it’s pretty, but it’s not even saree with that palazzo underneath.
You can say ITS inspired from saree and sharara.
@@Kathakathan11what do you mean, it's not a saree? Anything with a blouse, a long fabric draped around a skirt/petticoat or any flowy bottom is, in itself a saree. Just like the way, any dress, whatever the hemline, neckline is, a dress.
@@snehasinha7910 it’s definitely a modern interpretation of saree, grow up
Yes! The exhibition is STUNNING (just visited yesterday) btw, curated by The Met’s Hamish Bowles it goes through various facets of indian fashion like fabrics, periods, garmets, houses, designers and history. Genuinely very impressed.
How very lucky, wow! I have cried @ certain moments in museums, seeing Frida Kahlo's clothing, paintings, Egon Schiele drawings shook me @ the Art Gallery of Toronto some 20+ years ago. Words can't describe sometimes the wonder of fashion, art, music. We try to annihilate the wondrous with mere mortal words, blessed are our experiences.
@@heatherb1587 The first time I wept in an art gallery was life changing. I spent an entire afternoon at a Patricia Piccinini exhibition many years ago and the emotions her art brought out in me just made me look at all art differently.
@@marynell5666 what makes you think he doesn’t have expert knowledge? As a South Asian I think this is a strange take.
Hey Luke! Loved the video! Sonam Kapoor's look IS a lehenga but it's not just any lehenga. This lehenga is made of different panels from every "era" of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. It is a part of the NMACC exhibit and a part of Indian fashion history. Sonam is a "fashunn gworl" so she has the pull to get a lehenga from the exhibit, put it on herself and after the red carpet it went right back inside.
love that thank you for the info!!
Fashunn gworl 😂
Yeah ...... Sonam is the most fashionably outgoing person in Bollywood. Not afraid to experiment, manages to carry every outfit stunningly. Hopefully one day Luke may choose to do a video on Sonam
If only her manners were as good as her fashion sense...
Okay ds ji.
i love this episode…always wanted some Indian rep. yes you mispronounced some names but don’t worry about it…Indians aren’t too picky about these things as long as we sense a genuine appreciation of the culture and some willingness to learn. please do more of these…also your pronunciation of “lehenga” was ❤ so please continue doing this
Your warm encouragement is so sweet! Sending hugs from California ❤
Yay for representation. I'm surprised I didn't see more Gaurav Gupta, Rohit Bal and Sabyasachi!(Also the tiger in Natasha Poonawalas Waist is the Brand Logo for Sabyasachi , the bengal tiger). I agree on the starkness of the belt, I think if they heavily encrusted and embroidered the belt it would have "Merged" into the embroidery of the other areas )
Also Priyanka Chopra was wearing "Amit Aggarwal" for her other ensemble who is another amazing contemporary Indian designer (Granted I dont know what Lukes reaction would have been !)
Same here!!! A lot more Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla than I would have expected.
They are not reliance brands. Rahul Mishra, abu and Anamika have reliance ownership or joint ventures💁🏽♂️
@@asiaa3024 DAMN
GIGI'S LOOK IS MY FAVORITE 👗
The “rita ora why are you here” meme is now how I feel about emma chamberlain lmao
I thought I was the only one who was confused when she showed up. Like why are you here?!
One clarity is all these could pass as tradition styles of sarees because there’s a million different drapes to a saree, the “traditional style” that you just described is just the most common/ most worn style of drape. Each region has a million different drapes to a saree
Yeup, there is no one way to wear a saree! They were all traditional
37:52 - The mirror work on the red lehenga is a very traditional embroidery technique originating in western states of India - Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Circular motifs with multiple concentraic layers, like the one u see here, is called Mandala motif.
The shawl draped with a lehenga is called a 'dupatta'
I am a very amateur embroidery hobbyist and I almost cried seeing some of these outfits, the work is just incredible! I kept having to pause for a closer look.
Bit mad at Tom Holland for not even trying. Especially with the history of British colonialism, I feel it was extra important that he make an attempt.
He would have been criticised no matter what he wore just because he’s British. And they would have blamed him being British as the reason whatever he chose to do was the wrong decision.
@@user-ed7et3pb4o just let me tell you most of the people think his American and let's not even speak about Indian media because they don't even know how to pronounce his name correctly
@RAMANSH SINGH can western media pronounce indian names
@@user-ed7et3pb4o no he won't have been criticised. Indians are over that period of time. If you see Indians criticising British it's only in politics issues
@@AS-jo8qhno, you didn’t lose your homeland to british colonialism, your grandfather didn’t fight for this land, so your opinion doesn’t matter
India in Fashion should have been the themes for this years MET Gala. How unbelievable would that carpet have been!
I LOVE India and I LOVE that you did this fashion review. Even the least enjoyable styles were done with lots of craftmanship. Whenever I visit India, I always try to wear some traditional clothes. And I always feel beautiful in them. Thanks for putting their culture in the limelight.
I know right, Indian clothing is so gorgeous. Even indian-west fusion styles are drop dead gorgeous. And the bollywood actresses are so beautiful. Traditional Indian culture is beautiful, just hundreds and hundreds of years of craftsmanship. Even their casual clothes made from block print cotton is amazing too.
Really glad you like Indian clothes! What I love about it is that South Asian clothing doesn't shy away from color, texture, and prints, and that it's flattering on all body types.
love that you decided to cover this event. the fashion world is very euro/america centric, and it’s very depressing (and racist) we only see that side of things. india is such a diverse country with thousands and thousands of years of culture to pull fashion inspiration from. cant wait to see more from the rest of the world on your channel :)
Why is India’s so India-focused?
Is that magically non-racist?
Where is their diversity?
@@Americansikkunt What do you mean? most of everything was so "contemporized" and indo-western. Nothing showcased was traditionally Indian, and that made it very interesting
@@Americansikkunt lmao what’re you talking about? the fashion world is veryyyy centered on whiteness and europe. seeing something other than that is refreshing.
@@Americansikkunt Why are you trolling a fashion review page? Why not focus on things you actually enjoy instead of roaming random RUclips videos looking for attention?
@@Devious91 Indo-Western? What about East Asia? Or Latin America? They don’t count?
So much for diversity…
Sounds like India’s event is JUST as lacking diversity,
but because they’re People of Color you think it’s “diverse”.
Please consider how silly all this “diversity” nonsense is,
and just appreciate the events people make.
Hey Luke! The crop tops/bra-like top is actually called a Blouse in India unlike the ones the West refers to as "Blouse" (we just call those tops). Blouse, in India, is any clothing piece that covers the chest area and goes along with a Saree or Lehenga.
BTW ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR DISSERTATION! Your knowledge for a novice is actually so much more than many people in my own country 😊
It was a blouse and it covered most of the top except mid part during the Colonial times. Now it's turning into a bra.
@@junnaredd9912clothing changes over the time. Before Indian women wouldn’t even wear blouses.
I’m sorry but it’s a travesty you didn’t address Priyanka Chopra’s other look, it was so stunning, modern, elevated, gorgeoussss
Indian fashion is unique, colourful and really beautiful, I am glad,it is getting the recognition it deserves 😊
13:22 This dress is so beautiful! Very organic and leaf-like. I agree with you that the fit isn't quite right.
14:32 I gasped. What a gorgeous jacket-pant set, so stunning. Both Gigi's looks were so well done, major props to both designers, they are clearly excellent at what they do.
18:25 A really interesting look but I'm more taken with how drop dead gorgeous Janhvi is wow. I think the look would be better without the shawl and only one necklace. Her essence seems more simple so all the busy aspects takes away from that.
26:03 I'm gagged again with this embroidery my GOODNESS. Law looks like an otherworldly being visiting us from their ethereal realm, too beautiful for us mortals.
28:10 Giambattista Valli doing what they do best, love to see it. A truly glorious dress
28:15 THE FEATHER CAPE WITH JEWELS HAS ME SHOOK, the opulence goddamn
31:25 The look is so celestial wow, great decision pairing those two designers together, it works so unexpectedly.
Rare is the time where Zendaya is at an event and isn't the best dressed or most expensive looking attendee.
I also thought it was gorgeous but the fit was slightly too baggy
That panelled skirt made me gasp. Superb. Its about time the indian embroidery took to runways of the world. Nothing can compare to this plethora of amazingness. Gigis coat omg. The hours spent.....
As a South Asian person, OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I’m so glad you reviewed this event!! We love a cultured king 👑
wow. that mustard color dress at 6:56 is stunning 😍 i love the heavy kohl/eyeliner that she paired with it. i just can’t get over how good it looks, especially on her, with her skin’s undertones harmonizing perfectly with the deep golden yellow.
So excited to see this, the world of fashion is so big and Indian fabrics are so gorgeous!
Honestly Gigi has been absolutely killing it lately, I'm so proud
As a South Asian, I wholeheartedly agree.
Why are you proud lol
Society is crazy for putting stars on a high podestal…
I havent heard about her since she got knocked up. I clicked on the vid cause its a different event
As an Indian all I think is anytime she is going start doing Dola re dola re with Aish and Madhuri.
Marina Ruy Barbosa always crushes it. She has been an "it girl" for so long in Brazil, time for the rest of the world to recognize her. Indian styles are just on another level of beauty, work, intricacy... gorgeous.
what a time to be alive to finally see him reviewing an Indian event this is definitely gonna be his one of the most viewed videos i can feel it
The fact we have all these beautiful women dressed like they are worth a billion bucks and then tom holland appears in a black suit. I would have literally send him home, you are not allowed at this gala. GET OUT!
he's an actor and still pretty young, so I'd say you should send his stylist home instead.
I hate to say it cause it really was sorta builder basic but I wonder if he decided not to wear the cultural dress because he was afraid people might get mad at him for appropriation
@@jenniferburden1871 Now that i think about it yeah, considering the history between England (or Britain in general?) and India i wouldn't be surprised if someone advised him it'd be better to just wear a tux
@@sousleciel2416 There isn’t much that a British person could do without getting backlash unfortunately. He’d be slated no matter what.
@@sousleciel2416 oh yeah, it wouldn't surprise me at all! Pretty sure it was "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sorta scenario
Hello Lukeee! Think of this comment as a certificate of recognition for trying these very difficult pronunciationsss and almost nailing them! (Not that you need it btw) All love xx
That’s the part I was really dreading but I’m happy to hear it wasn’t too bad!!
I assure you sirrr, it definitely wasn't bad at allllll! Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!! :))
Cute❤
See it’s so easy to “roast” cultural outfits without being disrespectful to the culture🥰🥰🥰
It was cute how you described the saree and its elements. 😊 Kudos for dissecting Indian fashion with respect.
Sandeep Khosla not Khosia 😅
Thank you Luke! As a textile fiend, I am very happy to see you dive into other cultures and their textiles beyond the usual US/ European norm. And you did so much homework and research for it; mad respect!
I’m obsessed with the culture and the clothing. Rahul’s designs are so gorgeous.
I thought the sari Gigi wore (gold) was one of the most beautiful garments I’ve ever seen
I’m quite speechless. Most of these dresses were breathtaking. Please do it again next year!❤
@Luke- wrt Natasha’s Sabyasachi look- the tiger on the belt is kind of a Sabya identifier/ house code. Often a part of his saree looks in the form of a belt and often also spotted in accessories- clutches.
Kriti’s Monisha Jaising deconstructed saree look- the jacquard fabric is a Banarasi saree which is held in high regard in India because in the Mughal times, this fabric was only used to make clothing for royalty. It’s still one of the most expensive saree fabrics because it uses pure silk + gold and silver alloys for the embroidery which often takes several months to complete.
Wonderful background information. Thank you for sharing…
I always felt once people see Indian fashion in all it's glory it's over for the rest of the world lol. Am I dreaming or is this a pretty positive review compared to the mostly blah reviews he has been giving lately? As an Indian super happy right now.
My eyes were opened... it's like discovering a master painter you never knew existed... will everything else look ordinary after this? I'am afraid it will.
but he also most certainly played it safe, since as he confessed- his knowledge and study of asian textiles, usage, design houses is limited. looking forward to more such reviews where he is his usual cut throat self
Sorry to hear about your injury Luke, I hope you're healing well and there's not too much pain or physical therapy needed. Thank you for taking the time to put this wonderful review together even though you're injured. I appreciate you so much, your videos always bring so much joy.
I'm so excited for this review. I had no idea what this red carpet was for but it was sparkly so I was interested
The red carpet is for Nita Mukesh Ambani CUltural centre launch (NMACC)
It was for the nmacc inauguration ceremony
OMG NEVER THOUGHT YOUD REVIEW AN EVENT FROM MY COUNTRY 💕😭💕🥺
same😭😭
SAME
i did😂
there are so many beautiful fabrics and colors to feast the eyes upon!
Ahh same 🥹
Truly pray for the health and continued longevity of everyone's hands and wrists that had a part in creating/beading these stunning outfits, the word of the day was embroidery for sure
Thank you so much for covering this event. I know nothing about Indian fashion but I can’t stop looking at pictures of these stunning outfits
Just an FYI- the Sabyasachi royal bengal tiger belt is a trademark element in most of Sabya's designed looks. It's so widely loved by his clientele that styling that belt with nearly anything and everything is a hot favourite amongst those who own a piece. Having said that, you'll find this trademark belt styled with most of his pieces unquestionably.
But still it doesn't look good. It destroys the continuity. His work already speaks for itself, it doesn't need a tiger belt
@@cinnamonbun216 maybe. In which case I believe it's a matter of preference and perception. If anyone wants to put it on, they will. Otherwise, it's an accessory anyway and completely detachable from the outfit.
Feels like a fever dream to watch this video haha -I’m glad you finally ‘discovered’ Natasha Poonawalla lol. She has been amusing my fashion eye for almost a decade now. Soooo many ridiculous outfits, sooo many ‘I’m not sure what’s going on’ moments, but all so so much fun to see.
I love Indian fashion! So lovely to be soranted by so much colour, work, tradition and creativity!
Seeing all these gorgeous gowns makes me want an Indian themed met gala
I have never heard you be so excited by this many looks all at one event! They were so stunning!
This is the first video where you truly love so many of the examples. It appears that American designers have a lot to learn from the Indian designers.
Loved this! I'd like to see more international fashion, rather than just the USA/Europe
I feel like people like Zendayas looks all of the time bc of how skinny and pretty she is. People be like "everything looks good on her!" Yeahs that's because she barely has to tailor the looks from the runway. Designers make their clothes for her bodytype. Some of the stuff she wears is very basic and people lose their mind over it.
Gigi is also skinny .
@@senaitmessele8641 not as skinny as she is. Even gigi herself has said she was considered "too big" for runway. They also have different body types with gigi being more athletic and curvy and zendaya being more svelte and dramatic, which most models are.
@@senaitmessele8641 gigi has a fuller body with more curves they don't have the same body type
Zendaya has such a striking dramatic look plus a breath-taking way of moving that we are reacting to Her as much as the clothes.
Just one correction, there is no one way to wear a saree! They were all worn traditionally. Saree is worn differently in diff parts of India! Love xx
The textiles were beautiful. The styling top notch. And no see through slip dresses! Real design and real fashion. Kudos!
Rahul Mishra and Abu Jani Sandeep KhosLa ruled the NMACC fashion line-up, quite deservedly so!! Love the creativity and style integration from Indian designers. This was most definitely the Indian Met Gala! Also, nice to see that Luke provided researched insights on sarees, lehengas, sherwanis and kurtas. Great video!
Why was Tom holland even there 💀💀
I wonder too. Is he really invited ???? I don't think so.
Agreed on that Gigi peice. It is STUNNING. I could hardly believe someone got to even wear it. It probably has it's own security guard walking nearby!
Love this. Never get to see enough Indian fashion. It is gorgeous. Thanjs for covering this!!!!
wow never thought of you covering Indian event. 😮 Thank youuu.
I’m exhausted. This was wonderful. Thank you so much for doing it.
This was interesting and fun. I loved the colors and fabrics and the sense of tradition with a modern touch. Please do it again next year!
Woo! Love Indian fashion!
Deepika's muted look was giving me celestial, ephemeral vibes.
Gigi's embroidered look was intricate and amazing, she really pulls off the regal saree as well.
Natasha Poonawalla's mix of different components was seamless.
Sonam's skirt won for me, it showcased so many Indian prints. I've seen a lot of Indian skirts where each panel has a different print but her skirt was so voluminous and took the amount of prints shown to a whole different level.
Also like that you mentioned that you're a novice in Indian textiles but are still making a video, you do not need to be an expert from the get go to join in a conversation and have fun with something.
My jaw actually dropped when I saw what Tom Holland showed up in. Idk if he was doing the whole “oh this is zendayas thing I don’t want to steal her spotlight” or whatever, but like,,, it almost came across as like,,, disrespectful. Idk maybe I’m reading too much into it but to be like one of the only white boys showing up to a philanthropic event that celebrates Indian fashion, in just another plain suit is like,,, ok, why did you even come then?
Catch 22. Either be boring and disrespectful. Or be called racist for "cultural appropriation".
@@MissMalevolentyeah I have to agree, he would have gotten criticism either way as a white British man
When I saw him I was like MAN NONE OF THE DESIGNERS HELPED HIM😂
I am an Indian and I can confirm that Indians love when foreingers wear Indian Clothing.
@Miss Malevolent it would not be cultural appropriation in this context, it would be cultural appreciation. Culture appropriation is fairly specific
I wish Zendaya just wore a saree, like a proper saree that’s draped like GiGi did
Zendaya looks so stunning. I think, still people talking more about Zendaya than Gigi.., how stunning represented Indian Saree.♥️💙
Agree
@@senaitmessele8641 it's not about being talked about more lol zendayas look wasn't the best yet people still hype her up regardless, it's about having the bigger platform not the better look
@@NA22427 so gigi s entire platform is about having more fame there are way better models. Plus zendaya actually has talent. She looked more modelesque gigi looked like a tree log that has money as usual. But her designers are more talented
@@senaitmessele8641Lol..Zendaya's outfit is similar to cheap item girl dancer in Tamil/Telugu movies.
They wear something like this, belly dance, while the heroes wear modern suits or lungi.
why can't celebrities be that creative on big events in the US? I feel like we are getting more and more boring looks last couple of days, and here people can style Schiaparelli with Abu Jani Sandeep Khosia and it looks awesome
How great to see all those marvelous fashions, in the context of an Indian gala! Your commentary was respectful and interesting. Please do it again next year, yes!
I love how her top at 22:56 looks like a butterfly with all the parts combined 🦋
nice catch
This was so refreshing to watch ! The looks are opulent and detailed in comparison to the western red carpets
It is refreshing to see something culturally different and a plus those spectacular fabrics
These dresses are walking artwork! Thank you for letting us learn together.
As an Indian fan I love that you did this!!
Waiting for the Dior Mumbai roast. I think it’s a good first step, but it was terrible considering how varied the fabrics, crafts are and how well home born designers already use them in Indian wear.
Couldn't agree more. The Dior show was dissapointing asf
Wow the fashions are stunning! Way better than the fashion shows /red carpets in europe & US
his research is so immaculate! u can tell that he’s SO passionate ab fashion
Priyanka Chopra is wearing Elie Saab, in case anyone was wondering.
Thank you
Rahul Mishra is doing SO well and it was really showcased at the NMACC!! I'm so proud of him and I'm not even Indian T_T
Lol. He has a joint venture with reliance. Hence so much of his clothes at the event
@@asiaa3024 that Isn't relevant to my comment? I just meant that his works are very good and that was well-showcased in NMACC.
@@tahia3773 if you can't see the very clear commercial links to why he was seen so often at the event and exhibition and think it's not relevant then I can't help you
@@asiaa3024 Read my comment again. I clearly stated- "Rahul Mishra is doing good & his works were showcased well here"- be it bc of his links to the event/a joint venture or whatever, that was not my point. It's a personal opinion that I love his work & I'm happy to see people wear his best on the red carpet. That's why I said your reply isn't relevant to my comment bc my view was on his work, not how he got his work on the show.
Loved this! Great to see all the beautiful gowns with that unique Indian look.
Sabyasachi’s logo is a tiger and that’s what’s on the belt and most of his designs features a belt with his logo(the bengal tiger) I believe the necklace is Sabyasachi too. Hope that helped!
Love your videos!!
Thank you Luke. Yes please cover this next year! This was sooooooohoh refreshing. If I were there, well it would be embarrassing what with the security guards and all🤤
I really enjoyed this carpet review. I think they showed out!! I am impressed. I feel like Hollywood could take a page & try harder! ❤ Gigi was hands down my favourite, she can do no wrong. That 1st dress was to die for!!
Glad you're covering this!! Everyone has been talking about this event for days 🤧
3:58 - It is a saree. Indian designers inculcate various experimental and innovative elements in the sarees they design as well as how it is draped. Here Alia Bhatt has draped the saree in the most common way that it is worn by Indian women in regular life, so not much experimentation in the draping style - which is good coz the saree material and the contrast of the solid silver and the stripes already bring in the glam and unconventional element, too much draping would have ruined that.
This was such a beautiful event & I'm loving to learn more ❤ Thank-you for all the beautiful encouragement so many of you are sharing! Honestly overall this event had the highest amount of my favorite looks. I would definitely wear 99% of everything you showed & as an American, it's lovely to see more representation. Please continue to talk about these events/fashion from all over the world! 🇮🇳 🌏
i wish he could have seen ranveer singh in his true colours like literally colours he would have loved it XD
Hahaha 😂
i was so disappointed i'm used to his insane, eccentric outfits and this was so tame in comparison 😞
i think my favorite part of zendaya's sari was the embroidery on the train like those huge floral motifs looked gorgeous!
omg the pocket comment with priyankas dress had me dead, too good
I have a feeling Tom Holland was worried about cultural apropriation complaints
100%
Indians would've appreciated it... people from the West would've been the complainers.
LITERALLY like Tom we love you but no.
so spot on. its impressive that Luke managed to understand details and technicalities of indian fashion and the take on everyone was pretty darn accurate.
No one does beautiful embroidery like the artists in India! Absolutely stunning! So glad you reviewed this gala👍
LOve this, just wish the lighting was different on the red carpet.
I knew there was something off, everyone looked very yellow and I couldn't tell if it was the lighting or something else.
23:57 - The textile used here is Benarasi brocade. In the Mughal era the 'zari' (gold/silver thread) used to be initially made of actual silver and gold plated silver (as far as I can recall gold is too soft to make thread), but later they shifted to silver or gold plated copper as copper threads are stronger.
I agree with your assessment of the gown - I don't like it either. The problem is not that the designer has tried to incorporate contemporary elements with a traditional textile - several designers do that and do it well (for example, u can check Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas's wedding reception pics - well, one of the receptions, they had three - Priyanka wore a blie bensrasi lehenga with a corset top) - I feel the problem is that too much is going on, it looks too busy - benarasi in itself is a very elaborate, very intricate, very gorgeous material/textile, u gotta keep the textile in focus by keeping the cut and shape on the simpler, plainer side. It would have been fine if it was a plain asymmetrical gown without all the cut outs and folds.
I love this, please continue to cover this gala!
why dont we do more galas where we mix western fashion with the traditional fashion of every country???
like this would be SO interesting to watch and also watch western celebrities wear traditional clothes (properly) - this can really translate cultural fashion by having diverse models wear the traditional and inspired clothes
or is it just me??
I’d rather not mix my culture with Western culture. My culture is beautiful the way it is and I don’t want to change it.
❤
The thing is, Western fashion already owes a lot to Indian fashion and vice versa. Pretty much all the best fabrics used to come from India, and this was the case for a very long time. Meanwhile, South Asia has been creating fashion fashion for a very long time too.
Let's just celebrate other cultures without having to mix it with western things
Western places can’t do that without people crying about appropriation 😒

Damn, that sucks
Sorry 😔
This has better looks than any of this years award ceremonies.
loveeeee that you're able to talk about all of the historical and cultural background for the different clothes!! makes my heart so happy
