For a pre-show teller, imagine it’s 1997 and Givenchy debuts the haute couture show with new designer frontman Alexander McQueen. From start to finish, the footage is breathtaking; check it out.

Is Coco Chanel the Queen of understated luxury?

Yes 100%

I like to add in the idea that Chanel wore her creations and stuff because that was EXACTLY what she liked, as if her yardstick to her designs is always gonna be "would I MYSELF wear it?", which isn't a particularly wrong approach to designing clothes, but I feel like it eventually runs the risk of thinking less about what other people might like (and hence something to cater to) but more of thinking along the lines of a self-centered agenda. At some point, it's kinda hard not to suspect that Chanel was probably interested in making everyone look a lot like her, and IDK if that's a good thing or otherwise

This is very true because her whole brand was her designing clothes that she would want to wear.

I have such mixed feelings about Gabrielle Chanel. I adore her philosophy of dressing and love that she created a timeless aesthetic which allowed the woman, rather than the clothes, to shine through. On the other hand, she shacked up with a Nazi during the Second World War. I guess I’m just one of those people who finds it difficult to separate the art from the artist.

The situation during WW2 is interesting. I think we are yet to learn the full story. We know that Chanel was an Anglophile and a close friend of Winston Churchil. I strongly suspect she was working with the Résistance during the war.

Fashion changes and evolves. It's big business and a lot of competition today. Chanel would have died out if all they were producing was the same looks that Coco was doing in the early years. It had to become what it became to be as successful as it is today. Karl was a genius.

I agree that is vital for a brand to evolve and adapt to our times, but I don't think it necessarely requires to base 100% on what consumers want. Many brands of nowadays are successful even without carrying a trend/theme for each show and at the same time always bringing the same aesthetic. To evolve means to create new aesthetic, to react to changing times, which I honestly don't think Karl has done, or anything inspired but also indipendent from the legacy made to last over the years.

I never really liked Karl's work since, as you already stated, he detached a lot from Chanel original approach to resist to trends (more accurate to say- to never ever consider following a trend) and always keep on her way. I believe Chanel's case has been one of the earliest ones in more recent fashion history in which a specific idea of carrying on with the lagacy of a brand has been applied: keeping few elements but with a heavy twist on it dependinding on the current trends. Speaking of concept, I find this method just too easy and moreover oultrageous to what C.C. or whoever founder of a brand has been doing across their life. I think the key aspects of a brand are the concept, the way to reactionate to social events, the cultural believings, and so on, not just addressing to some well-known common places. That is just nothing more than commodified art at its finest. Btw thank you for your content, always so critical and fulfilled with good inputs and highlights of stories some of us might already know, but still really intresting!

I love when you do these reactions !! Keep going they are so educational for people like me who are looking to learn more about fashion and the fashion industry

I haven´t watched this documentary for 25 years and found it fascinating to see you re-visit it. You clearly understand the real style of Chanel, and not just the modern "fashion" approach, thank you for reíntroducing me to this fascinating documentary of a true genius!

Awesome video. I love your commentary too. I am a trained jeweler, and frankly never ever understood the appeal of this clunky plastic/base metal chanel fashion jewelry, since in many cases it can be more expensive than the real jewelry. But yeah, it's the emperor's got no clothes type situation among consumers. All the "fashion" people are in on it, lol

@servalkorion686

Costume jewelry is so tacky. There’s nothing luxurious about cheap metals & plastic

Funny that while Lagerfeld may be a modernist for Chanel, the house did go from being helmed by a Nazi to being ruled by the Kaiser.

I love his accent !!!

Hi, can you please do a video on Haider Ackermann... :)

Gabrielle's clients were mostly discreet old world aristocrats - the majority of Lagerfeld's clients were nouveau-riche and the clothes are almost parodies of fashion victims. Like many old luxury brands (Louis Vuitton, Rolls-Royce, Hermès) today's clientele is very different from the traditional one.

So exiteeeeeeeed

I loved the coloured tweed in the 90s but I hate the fact that Karl made puffy skirts, corsets and huge hats with flowers and feathers when Gabrielle Chanel createsi her own clothing line cause she hated corsets, puffy skirts and huge hats. In the 90s he attached the Chanel logo on everything, I prefer the Chanel styles of the 2000s

Not a fan of Chanel. Tweed, tweed more tweed forever. There is little innovation 💤💤 And some of the garments and shoes are HIDEOUS!!! The fashion shows are these HUGE productions. Yes super cool but it's just beyond excessive. It's also too saturated. With RTW shows, couture, resort, pre-fall etc with 60+ looks it just really takes the magic away knowing Karl can't come up with all those ideas alone.
