Yes, this is important! Please support the (good) films that were already completed! The theatre industry is gonna need all the help from Barbenheimer that it can get.
I was just coming here to say this!!! Leaders like Adam Conover have strongly rejected a consumer strike, at this time. However, SAG has asked influencers to not promote struck movies or TV shows. Not sure how the fashion falls into this though or if the Barbie movie is included in this?
Also, the major problems here are with television series, especially those on streaming services, so it's better to see the film in a theater - especially one that is neither a superhero movie nor a reboot/remake - before waiting for it to hit streaming. The biggest threat right now from the film studios are scripts written by AI, so it's very important to support more "artistic" films like Barbie and Oppenheimer, ones that AI would have a difficult time replicating. While the strikers have poo-pooed boycotting, I did cancel one of my streamers as the current business model is one of the reasons actors and writers are getting screwed over. Putting some of them out of business - or forcing them to merge - will make the business more profitable and then the studios won't be able to point at losses as a reason to not pay the people doing all the work.
I've seen a fashion blogger who def looks like she wears Bratz clothes, particularly low rise pants and while I am personally not a fan of the style in real life, it is possible and neat to look at! Go for it!
Actually, there is a bit of controversy around Barbie being the theme of the met gala. Not specifically for next year, but a lot of higher up people in fashion was like Barbie is so silly and childish, while younger generation of argued that she is an icon. You should do a bit of research about it. It’s fascinating.
@@Ellashaeeveryone who is invited to The Met these days is definitely "Barbie-era;" they've either owned the dolls, played the CD-ROM games, read the books, or seen other Barbie animated movies. It would be a great idea. "A Look of Barbie through the Eras"
The only thing that was in my mind while seeing Margo Robbie's outfits during Barbie promotions is that she looks good in Pink and the color should definitely be included in her regular outfit palette in the future
Most definitely. As glamorous as she looks in those signature pink tweed Chanel looks, there is still a relatability factor about her. MR has an athletic and toned looking silhouette that isn’t too stick thin.
Well Margot's company is producing the movie and the Barbie concept was Margo's idea, so it makes sense why she's so invested in every detail, which makes her a complete boss.
oh they they do, but not every movie is so easily associated with clothing. I mean take the new Mission Impossible or Oppenheimer, how would you dress so your clothes immediately tie in to the movies and characters? not every movie is suitable for this.
@@benzaiten933 Don't know about mission impossible but Oppenheimer I think you could lean into the 1940s a bit, like full on costumes but references to the time period. I think you could also do something referencing the clothing that scientists or the military wear not sure exactly how but I think a talented stylist could figure it out. Maybe even something by Iris Van Herpen that is inspired by the shapes of atoms or molecules?
@@neighborhoodcatlady6094 Vivienne Westwood has banned real fur from her brand in 2007. So unless your dress was made before that it is not rabbit fur.
@@ericainbloomright, but the strike also includes promotional work, like television interviews and red carpet appearances, which is how it’s affecting this particular movie since filming had wrapped long before the strike was called
@@mackenziemot yes, the actors aren’t promoting it, but they’re not asking consumers to not see them. They’re asking consumers to continue supporting already completed works, and if that changes the let us know.
Robbie is literally a perfect Barbie, just as she was a perfect Harley Quinn. I don't really know anybody else who could have given literal life to these characters as flawlessly as her.
This whole press tour had me on edge. It's the first time it has happened to me that I'm like actively looking out for when or where the next press event is so that I can check the next outfit as soon as the first pictures come out.
still loving how much Margot and Ryan are completely owning Barbie and Ken, love seeing actors treat a role as more than just a paycheque but can tell they're genuinely enjoying the whole process
The pose on the American vogue cover makes sense for a barbie. The dolls bend over at the waist into two different parts, which is kind of what the dress + pose makes it look like Margo is doing.
Both women are ✨ab fab✨ but overall I’m gonna have to go with Zendaya who has a longer track record and actually has experience with designing and styling. Margot’s fashion glow-up is recent and is backed by the Barbie movie’s outrageous marketing budget. Barbie had a production budget of $145 million and a marketing budget of $125-150 million! Despite all this, the moment right now is Margot and I’m here for it 😊
Hey there! Just so you know, both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA haven’t called for a consumer boycott of film and TV, and are actually currently encouraging people to continue watching and streaming to show the importance of actors and writers!
The fact that you haven’t seen it yet, but are still giving the same layers and depth to the fashion that the movie gave to Barbie is amazing!! You have to go see the movie, it’s brilliant!
the hype is the best part when it comes to this one though lol especially if you like fashion. everyone was in pink and saying “hi barbie!” im surprised that’s not something he’d want to witness lol
People who are saying Magot's reference are lazy are not doing their homework. They are not lazy, they are so well thought that even when the looks are not a copypaste of a barbie look yoyu think you have already seen that in Barbie. And that is the genius of this press tour
btw boycotting is not what actors or writers are asking for. they want equal pay. not performative activism. so u can definitely still go see barbie or Oppenheimer and be pro unionization.
yes, we can see barbie and still be pro union because it’s already been made. However, it is not at all proformative and actually very helpful if everyone boycotts streaming services as many actors have come out and asked for. In general, the idea that boycotting is somehow preformative is just… wrong. Boycotting is actually the opposite of preformative.
@@maryem9225 no. making the demand higher for writers and actors (i.e. watching the shows and movies) puts more pressure on the corporations to pay the workers. at the end of the day ur one view doesn’t effect bob igers pockets. watch what u enjoy and support the unions. thats the only thing that is productive
@@maryem9225 when the unions striking haven’t officially called for a boycott, you do not have the right to be doing so. If people boycott it gives the execs at the streaming services excuse to be like look we told you streaming is untested and not lucrative, so therefore we can pay you like shit. Boycotting in this instance is performative activism. Listen to the strikers.
By far the best press tour for a movie ever! I think her gingham set is also a direct reference/teaser to her “perfect day” outfit from the movie which has now become her “main costume” being that it’s also dress used in movie versions of the doll as well as the posters which makes sense since it was her first outing as “Barbie” at the time.
I think Vogue didn’t pull full on Barbie reference looks because Margot and her new stylist were doing it for the press tour. And the black Schiaparelli dress is my favorite. And the MET Gala should do a Barbie theme 😂 .
The entire family went to see the movie yesterday it was FANTASTIC. All of us adults were crying, the kids were laughing. What an excellent movie they made! Also the unions arent asking for a consumer boycott so you can still go see the movie!
I feel that this is something close to Margot's heart. Not obviously because she is a producer on the film, but I have the feeling that this style is something Margot really likes and that she is living out her little-girl-dreams ❤
This is so stupid. You don't know Margot at all, she's promoting a movie that grown adult got childishly invested in. It's telling that y'all are convinced this is someting Margot 'actually' likes when she's dressed as a literal doll
This has been perfect and its brought me right back to that girly bright part of my childhood. My predominantly black, tan, and white, wardrobe has added a hot pink bag and pink sunglasses and dress. I haven’t bought color like this for years and I actually want to, I’m living my own Barbie fantasy again at 27 and it’s amazing
I never played with my Barbies growing up, to be honest, I didn't care about them. I always prefered stuffed animals and other toys. The only reason I am overly familiar with Barbie lore is because my little sisters where in love with Barbie. And yet, seeing Margo dressing like Barbie and looking as if she's genuine having the best time of her life, it has brought me an immense amount of joy.
I thought Margot was just staging Barbie looks throughout the years. Your explanations how they tie to designers was enlightening. I now understand how much research and cooperation must have gone into the process! Thanks for opening my eyes.
As a diehard barbie fan since I was a small girl, I honestly cannot pick a look, I loved them all! I made my outfit for the Barbie movie premier and it was inspired by her pink gingham dress and the polka dot number.
That’s amazing! I represented in pink but just out of my closet. A mother daughter pair walked in to my showing. The daughter looked to be near 70 and was helping her mother to her seat. The senior woman, hunched and needing assistance, was wearing a full length sequined dress loaded up with jewels 💖 It was pretty spectacular. I so wish I had a photo.
Same! And I also picked out gingham dress, but in yellow, the cut of which turned out to be the exact same as her yellow dress in the movie. That was a complete accident, but I loved it!
Her stylist deserves so much recognition for the looks they are serving. Margot is in her colours, in fun styles and literally they fit her sooo well. The black dress with the flare out tutu bottom is so on point and modernized. It’s incredible! I love each one as a Barbie fan, I grew up with Barbie and many of the 90s-00s looks are my fav (biased much) lol 😅. The London look was sooo incredible as well. Truly loved the looks and fashion nods and history. The stylist killed it and the designers should be proud.
One thing I'd have liked to see was something a bit more fantasy/fairytale related. The thing that made me fall in love with Barbie, was the animated movies from the 2000s (not a fan of the ones after that). I love the ballet, classical music, epic tales of good and evil, princesses, fairies mermaids and magic found in the original Barbie movies - with Swan Lake, Magic of Pegasus, Princess and the Pauper, Mermadia and 12 Dancing Princesses being my favourites. I haven't watched the new live action movie, but I feel that element of fantastical fairytale is something I'm going to miss a little (since they seem to be focusing more on Dreamhouse and fashion doll vibes).
With regard to the “strawberry dress” the doodling is very similar to “80’s 90’s” Barbie outfits that would actually have abstract “doodling” on them. When I saw this outfit it really reminded me of the more quirky designs my Barbie dolls tended to have.
Can we talk about the rest of the cast are how they are styled and complement each other perfectly!! It feels like even the guests had briefs on the palette to complement the pink carpet and each other !
As a Barbie girl from way back thank you Luke for this comprehensive ( and fast!) look at her history and it’s influence on fashion, it’s amazing to see, ha❣️Take care🌸
Having played with those original dolls when I was very young...age 5-10, there are several that stand out in my infant memory. That black and white bathing suit, obviously. I love the mini dress in Australia...because it includes the heels, sunglasses and iconic pony tail to nail the reference to the bathing suit! The Schiaparelli sheath dress was also a favorite play dress... I can see it today. The pink day dress with crystals and precious cap hat is memorable but not a favorite ?? But..the all time fav was the pink enchanted evening dress! Wowzah! Even as a little girl, that was set aside for absolute special occasions (which I cannot even remember what that was!) So many iconic images that I wish could have been used in the tour that were not pink. What a delight to see a complete fashion show of just years of Barbie fashions. Decades of women like me would be front and center at the show (lol...if possible) or glued to the show with nostalgic ideals! One Barbie to mention was a short hair Barbie with three wigs in brown, red and blonde! How fun would that have been to see played out. My memories of Barbie continued into the 80s with my own daughter having a HUGE collections of Barbies (72 to be correct!)...which included vintage Barbies from my childhood. I think my own mother enjoyed it as she was the source of gifting a Barbie for every occasion imaginable to my daughter...with the final Barbie being a graduation Barbie in the year 2000! I did splurge on one very last collectible for her of a ceramic Barbie in the pink Enchanted evening dress that was perfection. Sadly, her current collection consists of the last two mentioned because the entire collection was stolen during a move in 1996! My heart still sinks when I think of it. BTW - the wrap on the pink evening dress was fake fur. I cannot think of any look that may have had real fur, unless it was one of the earliest pre-60 looks. A note about the Chanel look and any thing related to Barbie. Barbie just did not fit the Chanel look. It appeals to "Skipper's" figure...girlish, pre-teen, no shape. IE Twiggy!
Please you need to make a video on Xochitl Gomez's red carpet looks since her role in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness because that girl have been eating it up every single time and she doesn't have a stylist, her mom does all her clothes and her friend does her hair which is insaneeeee and they all need to be praised
Barbie was my favourite toy. Her careers, fashions, and lifestyle possibilities sent my imagination soaring. I also designed, sewed,knitted many of my own Barbie fashions as well. Thanks for this very thoughtful posting.
Her outfits for the promo tour are amazing - they should be, as most are taken from Barbie’s actual closet! And definitely, definitely go and see the movie - there are so many more outfits and the movie itself made me laugh throughout.
I saw Barbie last night and people are DRESSING!! I sat next to a man in a pink sequined jacket and white Go-go boots. There was a lot of fabulousness, mostly due to Margot Robbie's Barbie themed clothing on this press tour. She elevated the entire thing. The film is great (weird but great, funny, touching all the things). Greta Gerwig knows exactly what she's doing and deserves all the success.
I was never a Barbie girl, but I think these looks are all very fun and cute, and sparked my memories of Barbie commercials from the 80s and 90s. And it seems like Margot was having a lot of fun with these looks too.
Thank you for this great vid! As soon as Margot started stepping out in the Barbie-inspired looks, my immediate thought was hoping you'd make a video talking about it, and it was just as great as I'd imagined. Your channel has really done so much to give me a greater appreciation for fashion.
Yes!! I'm so excited you made this video. I was hoping you would! The press tour was so amazing. I love all the actors and actresses looks and how they fully committed to method dressing to promote the movie! Great breakdown!!
This is an amazing deepdive into all the outfits! I love the explanation of the runway looks and how they relate or counter Barbie! Clearly an impressive amount of research has gone into this!
Your hair looks good at that length. My older sister got the original Barbie. One thing to keep in mind is that small fingers had to change the clothes. The swimsuit slipped off so easily you wanted to put a dress on her instantly. (I got the Midge the next year. Tears falling. )
You did amazing with this review, bravo! I collected Barbies growing up not because I wanted to play with them but because I loved the dresses and outfits they had… and I have to say each and every outfit she wore was incredible in one way or another.
I love your deep dives! There is always something that stands out to me and inspires me to go look things up or remember a detail I used to know. Specific to the strawberry doodle dress, there was also a toy that many of us had - the Barbie fashion plate(s)! You would combine different panels then run your crayon/colored pencil over it like a rubbing to get the lines that created a fashion drawing. You were then encouraged via the toy to 'finish out the look' by drawing in details and coloring. The doodle nature of the strawberries + knowing the story/vibe of the whole collection it came from immediately made me think of this part of the Barbie experience. Because it often also led to lots of us making our own clothes for Barbie and dabbling in design.
Would really really love to see Luke do a reaction to Ziwe's outfit for a week video, or just looking at various looks she's worn. Her style is just immaculate and girly and what a little girl would dream of wearing, and would love to hear Luke's thoughts on them!
Luke Darling! How it is possible to have such immediate recall of reference is a testament to your dedication to the fashion industry. I am never less than delighted and more often dazzled by the generosity your genuine genius to bring every last historical and/or up to the minute detail to our attention. That wall of books behind you is not for show! You know your stuff boy. Artificial Intelligence will never catch up to the florid fluency of your forensic festooning of fashion fair. I adore you to bits, you are a darling, Richard
There were so many times throughout the video when I wanted to 'like' what you were saying and show support! Fantastic analysis, always learn something new from you!! Love your depth of knowledge from references to fashion history!
I absolutely love your videos and feel like I get educated in something fashion every single time. Thank you! And I can’t wait for the Greta to do the Bratz movie! (PLEASE, Greta?! A girl can dream right?)
You're cracking me up, your quip about Margo's airport look. 'The look is Chanel. But, luckily, it's vintage. Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you all, and neither would Margo apparently now either.'🤭 Chanel, poor thing. Ps... Love Life Ball. I wish it got more coverage in the US.
Love how this is like a literary criticism essay, but it’s fashion criticism. (Should I mention I was a lit major so I mean this as a compliment? 😅) Your content is so deep and educates us so well. Thank you for your effort to put this all together.
The union says they’re not asking for a consumer boycott? They’ve asked people to see projects that are already completed!

How she went from her terrible outfits to one of the best promo outfit collections is mindblowing
that’s just the power of Andrew Mukamal 😍
Thank god that Chanel chokehold is gone!
Shows what a good stylist can do.
Luckily she got to drop Chanel before the Barbie press
I am here for her looks. She looks fantastic.
She's literally living every girls dream of being able to wear actual Barbie clothes like I would kill to be able to wear any Bratz clothing irl

Bratz clothing? You can. Just go to any average story and choose the trashiest outfits and there you go
@@iamnotjack.whydidichangeJust because it’s not your personal style, doesn’t mean it’s trashy

As a diehard barbie fan since I was a small girl, I honestly cannot pick a look, I loved them all! I made my outfit for the Barbie movie premier and it was inspired by her pink gingham dress and the polka dot number.
That’s amazing! I represented in pink but just out of my closet.
A mother daughter pair walked in to my showing. The daughter looked to be near 70 and was helping her mother to her seat. The senior woman, hunched and needing assistance, was wearing a full length sequined dress loaded up with jewels 💖 It was pretty spectacular. I so wish I had a photo.
Same! And I also picked out gingham dress, but in yellow, the cut of which turned out to be the exact same as her yellow dress in the movie. That was a complete accident, but I loved it!
“ Im not plastic , yet”. Lol. Best line ever!
Was waiting for your reviews! Thank you
Her stylist deserves so much recognition for the looks they are serving. Margot is in her colours, in fun styles and literally they fit her sooo well. The black dress with the flare out tutu bottom is so on point and modernized. It’s incredible! I love each one as a Barbie fan, I grew up with Barbie and many of the 90s-00s looks are my fav (biased much) lol 😅. The London look was sooo incredible as well. Truly loved the looks and fashion nods and history. The stylist killed it and the designers should be proud.
💖NEVER BEEN SO READY💖
One thing I'd have liked to see was something a bit more fantasy/fairytale related.
The thing that made me fall in love with Barbie, was the animated movies from the 2000s (not a fan of the ones after that). I love the ballet, classical music, epic tales of good and evil, princesses, fairies mermaids and magic found in the original Barbie movies - with Swan Lake, Magic of Pegasus, Princess and the Pauper, Mermadia and 12 Dancing Princesses being my favourites.
I haven't watched the new live action movie, but I feel that element of fantastical fairytale is something I'm going to miss a little (since they seem to be focusing more on Dreamhouse and fashion doll vibes).
It shows Margot had a lot of fun with it and a true passion for Barbie and the project. It was amazing
Would LOVE to hear all about how they put this set of outfits together, made decisions, edited options etc. Just amazing work
Just learned about method dressing and i love it, it’s so fun especially if it’s a movie like barbie and the character has well known iconic fashion
This press tour will go down in fashion history
With regard to the “strawberry dress” the doodling is very similar to “80’s 90’s” Barbie outfits that would actually have abstract “doodling” on them. When I saw this outfit it really reminded me of the more quirky designs my Barbie dolls tended to have.
Adored the press tour fashion - thought it was so clever and inspired!
Can we talk about the rest of the cast are how they are styled and complement each other perfectly!!
It feels like even the guests had briefs on the palette to complement the pink carpet and each other !
As a Barbie girl from way back thank you Luke for this comprehensive ( and fast!) look at her history and it’s influence on fashion, it’s amazing to see, ha❣️Take care🌸
the tulle in the last dress is INCREDIBLE
This video was so well researched and put together, it is as thorough as Robbie's press tour. I learned a lot, thanks!
Love this. Was 7 when Barbie came out. Still have all of her original clothes. Can hardly wait to see the movie. ❤️
ILL CRY
Having played with those original dolls when I was very young...age 5-10, there are several that stand out in my infant memory. That black and white bathing suit, obviously. I love the mini dress in Australia...because it includes the heels, sunglasses and iconic pony tail to nail the reference to the bathing suit! The Schiaparelli sheath dress was also a favorite play dress... I can see it today. The pink day dress with crystals and precious cap hat is memorable but not a favorite ?? But..the all time fav was the pink enchanted evening dress! Wowzah! Even as a little girl, that was set aside for absolute special occasions (which I cannot even remember what that was!) So many iconic images that I wish could have been used in the tour that were not pink. What a delight to see a complete fashion show of just years of Barbie fashions. Decades of women like me would be front and center at the show (lol...if possible) or glued to the show with nostalgic ideals! One Barbie to mention was a short hair Barbie with three wigs in brown, red and blonde! How fun would that have been to see played out. My memories of Barbie continued into the 80s with my own daughter having a HUGE collections of Barbies (72 to be correct!)...which included vintage Barbies from my childhood. I think my own mother enjoyed it as she was the source of gifting a Barbie for every occasion imaginable to my daughter...with the final Barbie being a graduation Barbie in the year 2000! I did splurge on one very last collectible for her of a ceramic Barbie in the pink Enchanted evening dress that was perfection. Sadly, her current collection consists of the last two mentioned because the entire collection was stolen during a move in 1996! My heart still sinks when I think of it. BTW - the wrap on the pink evening dress was fake fur. I cannot think of any look that may have had real fur, unless it was one of the earliest pre-60 looks.
A note about the Chanel look and any thing related to Barbie. Barbie just did not fit the Chanel look. It appeals to "Skipper's" figure...girlish, pre-teen, no shape. IE Twiggy!
Please you need to make a video on Xochitl Gomez's red carpet looks since her role in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness because that girl have been eating it up every single time and she doesn't have a stylist, her mom does all her clothes and her friend does her hair which is insaneeeee and they all need to be praised
It’s true that she’s been killing it! I didn’t know her family & friends are helping her with it, that’s so awesome & wholesome
Barbie was my favourite toy. Her careers, fashions, and lifestyle possibilities sent my imagination soaring. I also designed, sewed,knitted many of my own Barbie fashions as well. Thanks for this very thoughtful posting.
Her outfits for the promo tour are amazing - they should be, as most are taken from Barbie’s actual closet! And definitely, definitely go and see the movie - there are so many more outfits and the movie itself made me laugh throughout.
I love these looks so much I could cry
as a doll collector barbie and bratz this has been so GOOD!
Really, really good research! Enjoyed this. Thank you
This is by far one of my most favorit videos you have put out! Current and historical! Loved it! 🩷🩷🩷
This press tour has been so exciting! I'm so hyped to see the movie. Her Versace mini skirt outfit lives in my head rent free!
I saw Barbie last night and people are DRESSING!! I sat next to a man in a pink sequined jacket and white Go-go boots. There was a lot of fabulousness, mostly due to Margot Robbie's Barbie themed clothing on this press tour. She elevated the entire thing. The film is great (weird but great, funny, touching all the things). Greta Gerwig knows exactly what she's doing and deserves all the success.
I was never a Barbie girl, but I think these looks are all very fun and cute, and sparked my memories of Barbie commercials from the 80s and 90s. And it seems like Margot was having a lot of fun with these looks too.
Thank you for this video! So glad Margot finally changed her stylist! It was so fun seeing her Barbie looks
She looked so happy through this tour. This was a fantastic breakdown!
Really enjoyed this episode! If I’m honest, I love all of your posts
Thank you for this great vid! As soon as Margot started stepping out in the Barbie-inspired looks, my immediate thought was hoping you'd make a video talking about it, and it was just as great as I'd imagined. Your channel has really done so much to give me a greater appreciation for fashion.
I am so glad that you talked about this. It's been a master class in how to show up and show out.
Luke that was an outstanding analysis! And the amount of references unreal, thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Yes!! I'm so excited you made this video. I was hoping you would! The press tour was so amazing. I love all the actors and actresses looks and how they fully committed to method dressing to promote the movie! Great breakdown!!
Ohhh I’ve been waiting for this one✨👏🏻💖💗💞💝
Black solo in the spotlight was STELLAR! 🌟⭐️✨💫💫💫💕💕💕💕💕
Andrew Mukamal did an amazing job. Although Margot would look wonderful in a sack. Sooo gorgeous
I really fell in love with her after this movie. Like this woman is so gorgeous and talented tf
yaessss luke! we needed this! Such an iconic press tour
These press tour outfits have been a dreammmmm!!! Sooo fun!!! 🩵
This is an amazing deepdive into all the outfits! I love the explanation of the runway looks and how they relate or counter Barbie! Clearly an impressive amount of research has gone into this!
This video is immaculate. So fun and educational! Always a joy to learn from you!
For me this was some of your best work ❤❤❤❤
Great job!! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for this breakdown, love it!!!
Great job on the research, as always ❤
Your hair looks good at that length.
My older sister got the original Barbie. One thing to keep in mind is that small fingers had to change the clothes. The swimsuit slipped off so easily you wanted to put a dress on her instantly. (I got the Midge the next year. Tears falling. )
Been waiting for this video 💗
I have been waiting for your dissection of all her outfits! So excited for this 💗
You did amazing with this review, bravo!
I collected Barbies growing up not because I wanted to play with them but because I loved the dresses and outfits they had… and I have to say each and every outfit she wore was incredible in one way or another.
I love your deep dives! There is always something that stands out to me and inspires me to go look things up or remember a detail I used to know.
Specific to the strawberry doodle dress, there was also a toy that many of us had - the Barbie fashion plate(s)! You would combine different panels then run your crayon/colored pencil over it like a rubbing to get the lines that created a fashion drawing. You were then encouraged via the toy to 'finish out the look' by drawing in details and coloring. The doodle nature of the strawberries + knowing the story/vibe of the whole collection it came from immediately made me think of this part of the Barbie experience. Because it often also led to lots of us making our own clothes for Barbie and dabbling in design.
The movie was sooo much fun! Her outfits were so on point! Love love love everything about it ALL!
This was extremely well researched and very interesting. Thanks for sharing the genius of fashion!
Would really really love to see Luke do a reaction to Ziwe's outfit for a week video, or just looking at various looks she's worn. Her style is just immaculate and girly and what a little girl would dream of wearing, and would love to hear Luke's thoughts on them!
Yes!
She’s gorgeous!!! I’m so happy she now dressing the part. She’s a perfect Barbie.
Luke Darling!
How it is possible to have such immediate recall of reference is a testament to your dedication to the fashion industry. I am never less than delighted and more often dazzled by the generosity your genuine genius to bring every last historical and/or up to the minute detail to our attention. That wall of books behind you is not for show! You know your stuff boy. Artificial Intelligence will never catch up to the florid fluency of your forensic festooning of fashion fair.
I adore you to bits, you are a darling, Richard
There were so many times throughout the video when I wanted to 'like' what you were saying and show support! Fantastic analysis, always learn something new from you!! Love your depth of knowledge from references to fashion history!
Luke. Luke. Luke. Your last videos are so, so, so great. The whole channel is turning into a fashion history course. LOVE IT.
Such a wonderful video! Thank you 💗
I absolutely love your videos and feel like I get educated in something fashion every single time. Thank you! And I can’t wait for the Greta to do the Bratz movie! (PLEASE, Greta?! A girl can dream right?)
You're cracking me up, your quip about Margo's airport look. 'The look is Chanel. But, luckily, it's vintage. Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you all, and neither would Margo apparently now either.'🤭 Chanel, poor thing.
Ps... Love Life Ball. I wish it got more coverage in the US.
All beautiful. Margot looks fabulous. 2 thumbs up.
Love how this is like a literary criticism essay, but it’s fashion criticism. (Should I mention I was a lit major so I mean this as a compliment? 😅) Your content is so deep and educates us so well. Thank you for your effort to put this all together.
This is my favourite video of yours, great job!!
There are few things that have brought me great joy during this pandemic era but YOU are one of them ! Keep being amazing 😘
love this for Her! 💖
