BRAVO !!!

Cher Luke, as a man of color, I would like to express how important it has been that throughout the history of your channel, your coverage of all things fashion but with a sensitive historical telling of the importance of all peoples , especially those of color. You do your best to tell the truth. I admire you. I enjoy your character. Your channel has become a mainstay of mine to stay current with the fashion world. I can not imagine what you will be doing in20 years, but someho😂I believe you will be one of the greatest influences in fashion know to man. This is how much faith I have in your intellect and passion for fashion. Bless you, young brother, may all your days be full of wisdom and grace. Harold Richardson

Omg, this fashion history lesson was so well done and fun to watch. I remember how I loved this collection originally but you and your knowledge made me love it even more, thank you!!!

As impressed as I am at Talley’s who’s who of friends, it’s also important to note that some of these so called friends were very nasty and mean to him. In Talley’s book the Chiffon Trenches, he talks about the disgusting, vile and racist things that were said behind his back and to his face. References to his weight and the way he was dismissed from Vogue. Being dropped like a hot potato by KL for an innocent remark that was taken as an insult. I was so shocked and disturbed by that. I mean the fashion industry isn’t exactly color blind, but to think that the same people who relied on him were the same people who talked ish about him behind his back is just plain cruel. As far Galliano is concerned, Talley did right by that genius. His time at Dior was LEGENDARY and magnificent. Having said that however I cannot in good conscience condone the atrocious behavior that got him fired. He’s an absolute fave but Dior did the right thing. There’s no excuse.

Every fashion fan should read ALT's biography. It's wonderful and very moving and got me through lockdown. RIP ALT

A few years ago I had the chance to meet Andre Leon Talley at my work one day here in Beverly Hills. He was using our couture salon to style a photo shoot inside one of our fitting rooms with actress Sophie Okenedo* photographed by Steve Simko during an Oscars 2005 weekend that she was attending. The photos appearing in the May Issue of that year promoting the Tony Awards nominees. He came in through our freight service elevator and I was walking behind as we got to our floor. He asked me where our department was and lead him there. I summoned the courage to acknowledge his contributions to Vogue and that I was a fan of his. He was extremely gracious towards me, a class act. There was none of that nonsense of being too famous that you couldn’t approach or talk to him. It was an absolute pleasure to have a discussion with him for those few minutes. * Best Actress in a Leading Role In Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”

I'm not surprised by the celebration for he was a gentleman reared in a fine way. Nothwithstanding, money does not a King or gentleman make. Some frat brothers and I were just remarking how acroythe pond a whole King displaced his baby son over a few rubies & some damp and dustry castles... I digress. Ha! Money & Power will certainly Robber Baron make! Rest in GOD, King Talley!

Thank you for spotlighting this amazing story. I lived for Andre and loved his memoir. I cant beleive how he isnt celebrated even more. I would love the met gala to honor him in the coming years.

I would love that too but I don’t see it happening. Mr. Talley was a beloved figure in fashion. He did so much for young designers who were incredibly talented and he single-handedly put them on the map. This is why he should celebrated. I feel however, given how vapid and fickle the fashion industry is, a tribute to Andre Leon Talley will remain a dream that will never see the light of day. Sad but very true.

Say what you will but I found it disgusting that they themed a recent one to the allegedly racist designer over him or some of the many other impactful fashion titans (Dianna Vreeland comes to mind). I was really sad to hear how he was treated and even worse when he passed away. I honestly think that was what eventually did him in, having a passion can allow you to withstand a lot for a long time. He got allot of flack for his weight like many larger people do, but he was indeed like a ship, breaking through dangerous ice in the arctic to make history. Many “big” name brands cannot HONESTLY say the same. Their originality and pizaz gone when people like him are used up and throw out of that meat grinder of an industry.

No one cuts like Galliano. He and McQueen were my absolute favorites when i was young… this video was a fascinating education.

i think its important to continually talk about history no matter the past. Galliano is a huge part of history

I just want to thank you for existing. I somehow stumbled here from videos on 1800s fashion history two years ago, and you're inclusion of SO MUCH history in your critiques of outfits is what kept this historian around. You rock!

LOVE this fashion history + analysis of an iconic fashion show/moment. I recently watched a documentary about John Galliano's rise, but the narrator lacked your knowledge (and wit) to explain the importance of the show. Thank you for making this!!! I

Aside from Anna Wintour hating the color black or a collection that has more black than any other color, she also has said publicly in one Vogue video that this particular collection by John Galliano, is indeed her most favorite collection of all time. So it does say something about John and as a person who really loved John since i was 13, seeing you talking about this collection makes me very very happy.

Thank you for discussing people, difficult topics and fashion history in a respectful way😌

I watched the documentary on Talley (The Gospel According to Andre) because of you, Luke...thank you!!! Such an amazing life and career Andre lived and yet I sense an underlying sadness too. It brings back one of the truths taught by the Buddha i.e. we all suffer.

I love these historical compilation videos. I watch them multiple times. I know that the creation process must be very detailed and research intensive, but the result honors the artist (even if he/she/they are problematic) and the work (almost always wearable art). I appreciate and respect you Luke, but sorry that suit @32:09 is not in my budget.

Luke points out that the creation process can also be spur of the moment 28:44 hair dresser Julian was running late to the show, shops at the drugstore, buys stationary plastic sheets, burned with matches to create holes to sew them together.

ALT the G.O.A.T. in haute couture. 😅 Rhianna's tribute to him in that red down coat/cape during the Superbowl was recognizable iconic and elegant. This man helped so many ppl in fashion, but NONE of them came to his aid while he dealt with C-19 and eviction. Duped in a rent to buy deal of an iconic home......was so unjust. Thanks to DVF for paying the debt and settling the matter. This would happen two months after he passed away. She gave him his flowers while he was alive.......that's friendship. Thanks for this well delivered historical fashion tutorial.❤❤

I got the opportunity to meet Andre. He was so gracious. A wonderful memory!

This was a fashion history class that I should have had to get a degree in order to be privy to such education. Thank you Luke!!! This was such an amazing episode.

I bought Andre Leon Talley's book when it first came out, and just recently started reading it. This is the part of the book I'm currently at. I didnt realize how big of an influence ALT had on so many people

Luke, your deep dives are criminally underrated! Your passion for the craft always shines through with your knowledge and commentary.

There is something magical about John Galliano’s fashion. I adore this Japanese inspired collection, the most beautiful things I have ever seen. As for Andre, what a way with words and a true love of fashion and people.

As always a brilliantly researched documentary, I don’t even have to finish the whole thing.

The video I needed! ALTs influence cannot be understated throughout his career and his knowledge was second to none, it's great to see him get the credit he deserves in the community.

Thank you Luke, your passion for fashion history is greatly appreciated, not only you explained remarkable moments in fashion but also gave us a detailed description of techniques applied in clothing design, as someone who didn’t follow his dreams of becoming a fashion journalist I’m always happy when I see a brilliant young talent like you teaching new and older generations ❤

I like these fashion history lessons. More please!

Thank you Luke, teaching us the history of fashion is such a gift for everyone and you do it with intensity ❣️Greatly appreciated and hope you do more🥰

The amount of work you put into your videos is truly amazing. So thankful for the dedication, I feel like I’m getting a free education

This is amazing. Should be a Netflix documentary

We appreciate hearing your insights. We learn so much from you and what you have to say in regards to fashion choices.

Absolutely brilliant! I can't even imagine the insane amount of time it must take to research and find the footage and pics to put together a video like this. I absolutely loved ALT Chiffon Trenches so this really expands on a portion of that book and shows how incredibly important ALT's connections and ability to get so many different people (all with huge egos I'm sure) to work together! 😍

28:17 Just a little correction here, she stands with Tsugouharu Foujita, Japanese painter, to whom Kiki was a muse. However, the photography was indeed taken by Iwata Nakayama! Thank you so much for this amazing and thoroughly detailed video Luke :)

love the analysis!

Absolutely loved your video. Thank you Luke!

Love, love, love your content and knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing.

THIS IS THE CONTENT WE NEED!!!!😩🙌🏻❤️

You are yourself a walking encyclopedia of fashion. Fashion road man, Understich and you are my favorites channels. Keep up the good work 🙏🏾

Great job Luke, this one was really a mouth full. I'm worn out simply keeping up with you. Love the research and references given, you never fail to amaze me with your knowledge.

I love these indepth videos from Luke. Thx for making my day!

OMG AMAZING! with all the faster-paced and more surface-level red carpet videos - which i love - i almost forget how knowledgeable you are. and, as it's said, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Really loved the content. Great job, Luke.

This was a fantastic video! It was so well researched. I really appreciate how thorough you were.

An impressive and masterful dissertation on the professional relationship between Galliano and Andre Leon Talley, and Galliano's first collection. Really, you couldn't ask for more. There's not only a delightfully informed analysis of Galliano's first collection, there's also your highlighting of Talley's unfailing ability in finding and building talent in the fashion industry, something often overlooked when discussing Talley's career. This is fashion history at its best: entertaining, opinionated, scholarly but fun. Congratulations for a job well done!

Loved this. So much detail and great storytelling. I have loved Galliono's "fantasy with a great cut" since I first saw his work in Vogue (the magazine, you know, 100 years ago). He is FASHION. And omg that BLACK SUIT!!! Talk about cut! Where is it being sold??? EDIT: Found it on 1st Dibs. Wish I had 10K to throw away!!

Your narrative is the best! Thank you for this ❤I would LOVE to watch more about British designers (Henry Holland, Gareth Pugh, Giles Deacon etc)

Thank you Luke for always highlighting a diversity of figures in the fashion industry ❤

such a well researched, informative and engaging video- loved this -pls more

Your encyclopedic knowledge of fashion history continues to just blow me away. Thank you for such a very interesting vlog.

I loved this breakdown. Previously watched a mini doc with Tim blanks explaining how John Galliano got his break but i appreciated your research into each look and the story behind the story. ❤😊❤

I absolutely love this video ❤ so informative and fun!! Thank u for helping me understand fashion history 🫶🏻

OMG Luke..! I just love you love your knowledge, your expertise.. you're amazing and thanks for this I hope you would keep on doing these kinds of videos where you analyse runway shows especially John Galliano. Love you and thanks

love love loved this video! thank you!

This is an awesome video, luke never fails to impress and I was so glad to learn so much about Talley and his contributions^^

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Thank you so much for this!

Bravo. This is masterful. I find your depth of knowledge and detail riveting. I'm loving these videos! Merci, Luke.

This is the best video I have ever seen from you. Your passion for fashion has never been more evident. Well done! I have one of the suits from the Kimono collection in black wool gabardine. I treasure it.

Along with your thorough knowledge of the field, I really appreciate that you don't avoid or minimize difficult issues.

Great work. I enjoyed it a lot. The history,the knowledge…Thanks for all your work. Love from Sweden. I am a fan of your work.

love these lessons in the history of fashion, keep them coming!

Whenever you post a new video, I always click on it so fast. This was fantastic and extremely informative!

Thanks Luke! I enjoy the back story on this as well as the technical descriptions. I remember watching this show on CNN Style with Else Klench and just being sp impressed with the talent involved. I really enjoy your content as I am a huge fashion nerd

Your channel stands out... Incredible work

FANTASTIC video! You really bridge the elitre world of high fashion and make it accessible to everyone, yet with an air of refinement and poise that feels thoughtful and inclusive of those who otherwise would be too intimidated by the fashion scene's usual condescending snobbery to ever bother to delve into the history and references that you present.There's a respect that you have for the subject matter AND the audience that grants outsiders a sense of safety to enter into these lavish realms and know of such fine things.

Luke, you teach us so much!!! It’s wonderful!!! Love you !

Luke, you are such a gifted and informed storyteller. Thank you for this. You make fashion history sound intriguing and wonderful. Please keep up the good work.

🥰Giddy with a "drop EVERYTHING" fashion moment! Posting before viewing, I'm that excited for this video!

This was amazing, bravo!

What a fantastic video. Thank you 💗

LOVE!!!!! your tutorials!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

You are a treasure! I can't believe the knowledge, research, respect and humor that you fit into these videos. Stunning. And you manage to tip toe through a veritable minefield of cultural and racial issues respecting and acknowledging everyone and everything. BRAVO!

Holy moly our models were SO THIN jesus. This fashion throw back is fantastic, sheds light on the style of a number of things I bought around that time, really glad you covered Galliano, he had a massive impact on fashion at that time.

Great Video Luke! LOve you!

Yay! More fashion history please ❤️

Totally agree about the headpieces; they add an unforgettable element very missing today.

Thank you. This was very interesting and informative. Thanks.

Hi, great video thank you for the comprehensive information, really enjoyed it.

I really appreciate your coverage of Andre, and I like that you began with the idea that a compilation of quotes wouldn’t do the video or his legacy Justice.

I’m truly impressed by your knowledge and the desire to explore all the journeys of the designers at your young age. My mother supervised seamstresses in Texas during the mid 50’s to the late 70’s. Her factory made the Buffy dresses from The Family Affair Show. They made clothes sold in Neiman Marcus as well. She taught me to appreciate the construction of the clothes and the love of fine fabrics. Many years after she passed, I took my dear mother in law to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis exhibit in NYC. We had the best day together admiring the luxurious and exquisite creations Jackie wowed the world of her fashion style. I love watching all of your content and learn so much from you. I adore your facial expressions and enjoy laughing with you.

amazing, i learned so much from this video, im impressed with your knowledge in fashion, and history and recognize when you see it...wow

OMG,you are amazing!!the knowledge you have is incredible,I love every minute of your work,I wish I can take you for dinner and have a chat about fashion with you,you are something else,RESPECT!!!❤

I immensely enjoyed watching this video. So entertaining and informative. Am curious how many hours of research you have done. Keep the nice work 👏👏👏 Your fan from Hong Kong 😊
