Tomorrow (27th June) is officially my channel's first birthday. I just want to say tysm to everyone that has subscribed, commented, joined the patreon, subscribed to underskin, etc; basically any and all support / engagement has just been so gratefully recieved. I don't quite know how to express that susinctly and authentically, but to think it's only been a year, and we've reached 55.5 thousand subscribers and, over all videos, literally millions of views, is just so flabbergasting and flattering. I'm so grateful to have found so many people who have the same kind of love of the more business side of fashion brands, marketing, branding, all of that good stuff. I know this is probably my least well put comment, but idk, I just wanted to express this. Thank you

It is so refreshing to see someone succeed on their own terms without having to bow to "Big Fashion". When you have a talented designer who also has a keen business sense and understands social media...this is what happens. It's a thread that runs through many of your videos on successful designers. They are a complete package

@@understitchYT Is Jacquemus an independent brand?

Really enjoyed this look into Jacquemus, learned a lot about the history of the brand, but just wanted to point out that the Sex and the City movie came out in 2008, an entire decade before the Jacquemus hat did in 2018. So Patricia Field very much did create the design of that hat on Samantha Jones.

Wow Im bad at maths, but the buzz surrounding a comparison of the two was really big and definitely moved that age bracket of consumers to the brand, even my family members with very little interest in fashion heard of Jacquemus from the la bomba hat 😂

In my opinion you forgot to mention how well the brand is personally interconnected with the founder and how genuine and transparent they are. Even the fact they only have a single IG account, where the designer shares not only brand promotional work, but its personal life and creative process/inspirations, it shows us the human side of the fashion business and it help us realize that behind the brand there is a man with a vision and not just another souless corporation. The location of the catwalks have always a very personal and emotional reason for Jacquemus and the entire design and aesthetic of the collections are always so loyal and well connected to the brand in general (and his personal life), it transmit a genuine feeling that other brands can't do it (specially when they are more concerned with being trendy than being loyal to their brand cores). With Jacquemus we know a product, a marketing campaign or the catwalk is Jacquemus without seeing the logo because the entire brand is so well constructed and the designer itself and its entire team are so loyal to the brand core that everything works and is connected in perfection.

Didn’t he tap into the wedding dress market? I feel like I’ve heard that before somewhere. Which helped him stand out as the “my dresses are so good that brides want to wear them” but also in the “my dresses may be priced way less than a bridal dress but they can be used for that ocasión.” I feel like the accessories business is a gateway for many people. I’m def not interested in bags for myself but the chiquito and all it ridiculous nano sizes does interest me even if it’s for a laugh. Especially the nano one where they could only add the J. It’s like a toy or Christmas ornament then not really a fashion accessory.

I know they have some complaints about quality with the clothing. But, actually I think thats because theyre so simply constructed more than anything. We have grown so accustomed to very worked garments, that when things are more simply constructed it doesnt feel the same quality. I dont know how to explain this better than the comparison of a Jacquemus garment to something a talented parent (or yourself) could make at home. Theres no fancy manufacturing work in there, its mostly not faced, or minimally faced etc. Does this make sense? Im not running on a lot of sleep ahha

I think he is doing like Alaïa. And he doesn't do fashion weeks but I imagine some brand doing show in french or italian museum/castle is the same type of the exotic location, and the cities being overbooked and plains full, I don't think he is more exclusive so to say just more relaxed and inspiring and authetenic and kinda fairy tale. More fantasy. And fashion is about that, right? Anyway, one year collection, make it closer to the season, staying faithful to his summer vibes it seems more sustainable to me. Why would he follow the rules, he always brakes them, and create his rules. I really respect him, and love his talent, La Bomba Omg, but recently he is being overhyped, and overly dependent on social media in a way.. I guess he makes it this way, but we are also kinda overexposed. I do see a bit of stagnation there, luckily because this old money thing took the social media. O, and is it me or ot semes like the French protest every day, he just wan ted to be noticed by people interested in the fashion, to got his name, or google it, but not sure that this did anything.
