I think her style is pretty accessible to the larger, mainstream audience. (Especially young people, like you said!) That being said, I do think the conversation of “is it fashion or is she just skinny?” is also a good conversation to be had! Personally, I like Emma’s style, however I doubt it would have been considered as “influencial” if it weren’t on a thin, white woman. But again, I don’t think Emma ever claims to be a revolutionary style icon-she dresses in a way she thinks fits her best and crosses her fingers people don’t think she’s crazy. Lol, I dunno. Lots of food for thought.
Agree, watched some of his vids a couple of years ago & the amount of rudess, negativity & criticising was just.. not it. But watching his videos now? Like a different person honestly. Proud of him
thank you for bringing up “is it fashion or are you just skinny?” it’s an important conversation as a lot of current trends do not work on the majority of body types. I like Emma, so no hate whatsoever, and her style really works on her. but what looks like “effortless chic” on a thin petite person might look like frumpy or nothing on anyone else.
Usually people who are thinner look better in majority of the things. Having said that some clothes work better on more curvier women and might not look good on thinner women. I'd love to be as thin as Emma because dressing up when you have such a great body like her's is so easy because she can pull off any style and looks great in everything.
@2O46 if you would pay attention that person isn’t even talking about clothes. When you look up anything on Pinterest it’s literally all white people unless like you they said you put black in front if the search
I often think about the fashion vs skinny question when I see people doing yoga pants and sweatpants in these videos as fashion because when you’re fat if you wear things like leggings out of the house there’s a subconscious association with laziness and slovenliness. That work look is something you have to be skinny to call fashion.
it doesn't seem like pants. they're really for under a t- shirt or tunic or skirt or working out. it's not fashion. if it is naked it's not fashion or if it's like underwear. it's like underwear or something. you have to wear stuff clothes it seems like you get a chance to and they just wear under pants.
I think that in this situation(wearing leggings and sweats outside) it's more about comfort, rather than fashion. I mean I personally don't consider it fashion even if Kendall Jenner is wearing it. (who is a model and she is considered a fashion icon for many.)
@@C.ara380 sure, but if I wear that out of the house I get treated like crap and the associations are with laziness and unkemptness. If Kylie Jenner or a skinny person does it, it’s athleisure and lounge style, you know? It’s a fascinating dichotomy
could never wear any of this, but she really pulls it off, her confidence as well helps. she dresses great for her body type and also reaches for more “out there” looks. she just straight up cool
OMG yes! I couldn’t put my finger on it but that’s a perfect description. I personally love the style, probably because it reminds me of Lizzie McGuire haha
On the note of "is it fashion or is she just skinny"...as a curvy girl I can attest that Levi's 501 jeans are only accessable to skinny people. They are cut very narrow and very straight. For reference, I'm a US size 10-12 (so roughly average) and I maxed out their size range trying to find a pair that would fit over my thighs and butt. Whether it's actually fashionable or not, I think we really have to acknowledge that a lot of these trends we're seeing from models and influencers are only accessable to skinny people. I think we also have to consider that with the 90s and early 2000s fashion coming back around, we will likely see (and already have) a return of the Uber thin body type in popularity and with that the rise of more clothing made specifically for that body type (looking at you low rise jeans). I think sometimes it's less of "is it fashion or she just skinny" and it's actually "she's allowed fashion because she's skinny". Just food for though. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Yeah I tried them when I was the same size and tried them again now that I'm a UK 10 which is a US 6 to 8 I think? Even if the waist is the correct measurement, they never go over my thighs. It's not made for people with hips and thighs apparently lol
I haven't tried these on but I'm also size 10 and I struggle with finding a straight pair of jeans that doesn't look distorted on me. Also, most of the jeans fit my thighs OR my waist. Since I'm on the taller side, most jeans aren't as high-waisted on me and crop tops are shorter, so I avoid wearing them since I'd have to expose more skin than I want to. I've seen some brands making tall fit jeans, but I wish they made those for dresses and skirts too. The curvy jeans they make actually fit worse than the regular ones. I HOPE people don't get obsessed with being skinny again because for most bodies, that's not a healthy weight. So many women were skinny back then because they were abusing substances and going on extreme diets. I'm not saying ALL of them who were skinny did.
@@chrystheo808 oh my gosh, I had the same experience with the curvy fit! The only ones I could actually fit were the 721 but then I gained a little quarantine weight and they didn't have larger sizes in any of the stores for me to try on and didn't offer the larger size in the shorter length either. I mean, I could have gotten them hemmed but I was already frustrated and didn't want to deal with the hassle. I ended up switching brands completely because I felt like at a size 10 my body type wasn't a priority for them anymore. Skinny privilege is a thing. I'm really hoping that we have evolved enough as a culture to recognize that the skinny ideal that's starting to come back around is unhealthy for most but I'm not holding my breath.
Not in my opinion. i have W30 and in my country that is considered curvy and i have 3 pairs op 501 levi’s. They’re my fave and i have received a lot of compliments when wearing them. What youre saying about fashion in general i completely agree on. I really try to wear what fits my body best and only buy what i feel most confident in. Not really following the trends but i will buy something trending if i really like it. I would follow more trends because a lot of the time i really like them but its just not suitable for my bodytype so i have to be more ‘timeless’ (not really the right word but i cant put it into words any better) with the clothes im spending my money on.
@@RachaelTheRed I don't shop from levi's or any pair of jeans that costs more than 20 euro really haha but yeah, in those teenager-and-20sth-targeted shops the sizes are until 44 european (so 14 US?) and... cmon, there are so many people who need bigger sizes than that. Imagine being fifteen and going there only to find you don't fit in their clothes. They used to carry up until US 12 before. When I had put on weight and realized that I'm wearing the biggest size in there I felt SO bad. Also, I was frustrated because I like some jeans to be more slouchy, but then I couldn't size up.
I think it's also that she's not trying to be "different". Like she was not trying to be "not like other girls" idrk how to explain it, but she would acknowledge that she looked weird but still liked it! She wouldn't be fishing for compliments or anything. Loved that you touched on this in the intro!
you could check out Maddie Draegsback (if i spelled her name correctly and if you dont know her yet) shes a youtuber that has never been on vogue but she has the style and body youre describing and she is very fashionable (in my opinion)
I don’t personally get inspiration from Emmas style BUT it’s definitely very her and it works. I love how she explains her outfits and her thought process in a very natural way. It feels less curated than previous videos which I appreciate ! I had fun watching it !
@@PersonWithStupid37 she talks about life and the way she feels about social media,fashion, she complains about periods and stomach pain without embarrassment(which yes, is very relatable for teenage girls that are usually told to hide embarrassing things like using the bathroom and their periods)
I think it needs to be said that Emma isn’t dressing to be trendy, it’s great to bring up “is it fashion or is she just skinny” but she’s not trying to be fashion. she’s just dressing the way she thinks looks best on her which is how EVERYONE should dress. if her aesthetic/style doesn’t fit you or look right on you, oh well. make up your own !
i dont think the problem here is emma, its that outfits like these are called fashionable on a body type like hers, but when a fat person would wear an outfit like hers they'd get called lazy and unoriginal
honestly her video was the best. she gave us context and backstory and i think that knowing why she is wearing certain pieces really adds to the overall looks
That second outfit with the short silver dress (minus the boots) gives me mid to late-90's school dance vibes. That shiny embroidered fabric in a super-short spaghetti-strap coupled with the little pailette bag was a super popular look.
@@user-hc2tu7ul7j She is tiny but she’s also skinny. She has no stomach fat, her thighs are narrow. She does have a “wider” body type with big ribcage, but still skinny. Speaking as a chubby 5,5 person.
Yea Im 5"4 like her (which isn't really short, it's about average for a woman) and not curvy and look terrible in midi or maxi skirts. Like I'm a child wearing my mother's clothes or something. Baggy tops and jackets are ok but I wear with tight jeans or mini skirt.
im 5 flat and i HATE to see myself in maxi skirts/dresses and i look like a 10 year old (im 19 lol) with oversized shirts/jackets/sweaters. Its really frustrating cause im insecured about my height and i just get jealous over those with average/tall heights girls out there cause they can easily rock anything. It's even REALLY hard for me to find jeans and sweatpants that wont make me look like im drowning. (im a filipino which explains my height)
my go to is a black crop and jeans and as someone who is on the heavier side i can confirm that cropped tanks and jeans looks good on every body. its simple, looks put together but casual at the same time. i love it on everyone.
i love that Emma is literally doing what Luke was saying when talking about her LV fashion show appearance (and about many younger influencers in general) that it’d be great if she wore and promoted young cool and more obscure designers
@Jury usually that's not what ppl mean when they say 'is it fashion or are they skinny?'. it's not saying the outfit isn't fashionable, but being skinny is unfortunately seen as an accessory that adds to the outfit. I think when most ppl look at what's fashionable, they are looking at the body being worn by the clothes, instead of the actual clothes. it's not that skinny ppl don't have fashion sense [cos emma does imo], it's that being skinny is fashionable. i think it all comes down to the objectification of female bodies tbh.
I think the appeal is everything she wears is very true to her personality, and when I think of her as someone to go to for inspo, it's more so her ability to carry a look.
I love Emma’s style so much!! I’m so glad you covered this, and I’m glad you brought up the “is it fashion or are they just skinny” concept. It’s def in no way an attack on the individual, but more so an attack on our culture that glorifies thinness and uses thinness as an accessory. And it’s totally valid to both love Emma’s style and know that some of it is just “fashionable” bc she’s thin. She’s a queen regardless 😊
Dickies , similarly to Carhartt, started out by making clothing for workers (workware) and only later started sponsoring skateboarders. Which was why the material was so resistant. But now it is kind of only known as a "skate brand". Thanks for another great video Luke !
I think Emma is fashionable because she buys things that are well made and fit her perfectly - for most woman outside the thin thin no curves niche, it is very difficult to buy clothes that work. It is not ‘is it skinny or fashion’ - fashion is made for her.
5'5" isn't that short though.. that's average height and majority of clothes are made for her height and weight. As someone who's curvy and 4'11" clothes barely fit us and shorter is not always better
i agree! i’m 5’11 and skinny (i definitely have a weird shape though) and nothing fits how i want! jeans are too short, tops are too long and the sleeves are too tight. the girls really just can’t win
god I hate shopping for jeans for that reason because I'm never getting one that fits decently without major adjustment. Its always too long and if it fits my waist its too tight for my hips and crotch but if it goes over my hips its too loose for my waist.
I love how you enjoyed Emma’s style while simultaneously bringing up the conversation of ‘is it fashion or are they skinny’! You were able to hype emma up while also critically assessing bits you weren’t so sure on. Love your channel deffo got a new subscriber here !
When he says that emma is really smart in playing with colours and pulling them all together i totally agree, but of course thats is easier if you have a big wardrobe and more pieces to pick out which matches best.
Emma saying that she's short when she's 5'5", avg height for women in the US is 5'4"....so technically she's taller than average? and then I'm sitting here at 5'1" like girl, if you're short I am some sort of gremlin lmaoo
She is tall I think 5’5 is 1.65cm and it is a lot I’m 5’1 - 1.58 and I’m short in mexico but there is shorter people here that are the real gremlins HAHA
@@bo550 5’5 is still a height that’s not too short or not too tall though considering there is tons of women that’s below 5’4 I mean she could be feeling short in comparison to the people she sees daily which is fair enough lmao
I really appreciated your commentary on "is it fashion or is she skinny" I think that you understand it from a fashion perspective but you also don't want to be mean. It's a great balance
It was so bad. The amount of money she spent on ugly items is actually disgusting. If you spend that amount of money you should at least love the item. She's like "I bought this for $20 000 and i dont even like it hahahahaha".
shes not exactly the wow most fashionable human on the planet but shes definitely defined her style as her own slightly tying in trends and knowing what works for her and her body. she gives off a very casual yet spunky vibe as a person and her clothing really reflects that
Ok, Luke. Am I missing some vid where you talked about this? Why don’t you like the Van Gogh LV bags? I thought they were cute, (and I’m kind of loving it as someone with an appreciation for art history) and tbh I would just love to hear your opinion on those bags and why you aren’t a fan :)
5:10 "The collaboration wasn't really necessary. Jeff made the bags but not the [painter name] or the Van Gogh" He said this so I think his reason is something along the lines of it being lazy design to slap something famous on a purse that otherwise has no meaning to this designer or the house
In my opinion, the idea of having an artist’s painting on your bag is cute, but well known paintings (such as Starry Night) can make it look cheap. They like to slap that painting onto everything for 50¢ lol It’s different when the artist does a piece specifically for the brand or individual bag. That’s a true collaboration whereas the Van Gogh one is not really. Gives off similar vibes as having mickey mouse on your bag; overdone, tacky, and cheap looking :/
I mean, I love Jeff Koons and the masterpieces he chose for the collaboration, but these handbags just remind me of cheap merchandise from a tourist shop
OMG Coperni appearing on this !! Like I’ve been following the brand for years, so happy it’s getting the light it deserves For info: the couple running coperni worked as artistic directors for Courrèges !
U should reach to Kpop high fashion stage outfits cause their stylists tend to alter high end dresses for dancing and it would be interesting to heard ur opinions on it!
My stand on the is it fashion or ur just skinny thing: Your body line IS part of your appearance as much as your clothes. An outfit doesn’t have to fit every body type to be valid as « real fashion ». When you chose and wear your clothes, you need to take into account your body type. A same outfit could look amazing on a skinny girl = be a great outfit, and not fit a chubby girl and be a bad outfit…and VICE VERSA ! I sometimes see outfits that work sooo well on curvy girls but are underwhelming on skinny girls too!! The clothes can be simple - it doesn’t mean that the outfit is bad, it just doesn’t work on this girl and does on that girl,we’re all different !!! *A good outfit is one that fits and sublimate your body line and charisma, THAT’s ITTTT*
I think you're missing the point a little bit. Nobody is saying that everything has to flatter every body type, and you're completely correct that different styles suit different body shapes. The problem is that thin people can "get away with" much more in regards to fashion than fat people can, and that's what sets the trend and gets praised. A thin woman wearing a baggy t-shirt and jean shorts is effortlessly cool, but a fat woman wearing the same thing is gross or lazy or inappropriate. A fat woman wearing the same things wouldn't get the same praise as Emma does.
What also plays into the equation is outfits on skinny women usually appear into mainstream fashion. They become incredibly popular and therefore stores stock these items because they will sell EVEN THOUGH they don't compliment and flatter plus size women, supply and demand baby. The fashion industry is built on skinny white women bc they are favoured as the 'ideal' body type, which is all fuelled by misogyny and the male gaze. A whole other conversation but ultimately is still very relevant.
Part of the thing with gen z fashion (like the platform boots w/ mini dress) is to embody the spirit of punk. Not necessarily the style, but that vibe of ‘yeah I’m wearing this with this. Yeah it throws you off.’ It’s a lil bit of wanting to balance out pretty femme and soft things with brute, masc and edgy things. That’s honestly what a lot of our generation considers a balanced look. It’s not even if it visually matches, we just like to have a little something ✨Extra✨
Interesting perspective! I though the way she matched things was just very off putting, but maybe thats just a different concept of matching (mine is more classic)
Luke, if you're looking for ideas for videos, comment on the Vogue videos of celebrities commenting on their past looks! They're super fun, and there's lots of good vintage fashion to comment on!
I live in Japan (Yokohama), and "a little bit Grandpa" is definitely a thing here with teens/young adults. It's cute on the right person, but it might be one of those "is it fashion, or are you just skinny?" moments.
“Is it fashion or are you just skinny” 🤯🤯 Would love to see a more diverse body type on this series… other than Ashley Graham have there been any average to plus size women?
I think Addison Rae is pretty average. Like, she's slim but not skinny. I hope average and plus size women get more representation because as it turns out, it's important to see someone like us on these videos.
What you said about people loving jeans is so true! Like I recently found my 3 staple jeans from high school and got so emotional putting them on again!
18:01 May the record show Emma called them Yoga pants lol so for all the people in the yoga pants vs flared leggings generational debate that she kinda inadvertently caused by bringing them back she has spoken lol
I actually was very ready to judge because I don’t really care for Emma but I was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty cool, not as basic as I thought it would be. Definitely a different vibe like Luke was saying and I appreciate that.
ok, we have to comment on that shirt that Luke is wearing! Awesome cut, great color. And I always adored those type of sleeves, I think they make arms look fantastic. Love it!
Guys check out Tega Akinola! She's an UK based rework designer known for phone cable heels, fleece handbags and the Nike Swoosh earrings! She's constantly creating new and fun work!!
I've thought about this "is it fashion or are you just skinny?" thing in a new way recently since I've discovered Kibbe body types. Really helps me understand why models can get away with things that other people can't.
Haha, the video I watched before this was miiasaourus asking 'is it fashion or is she just skinny'? Reacting to this same vid. I enjoyed your take on this, she's very west coast cool vibe.
this is the first time ive watched your channel and honestly i LOVE the way you explain things and how you are very knowledgeable about what you’re talking about. You have the vocabulary for it. :)) tis all ♡
I would say if the skirt was navy like the back of the top it would be a ELEVATE the look so much and look wayyyy more cohesive for the Saturday look!!
She literally just wants to have fun it makes me so happy that young people are seeing this. I actually think this is a fantastic relationship to have with fashion
The entire time I watched the vogue video I was like wtf I’ve NEVER heard of this brand before and feel disconnected from fashion lol but watching this reassures me I’m not too out of the loop haha
I think she's following a trend which has been on the rise for years (which is fine) and has the resources to do it better than everyone else. So ppl look to her for her style but they already have it, they just don't have her budget etc. No shade on her but I think we give celebs a lot of credit for being "fashionable" when there's no reason for them not to be
If I had to pick I'd deff say the vacation outfit was my fav! I loved the whole 70s mixed with 2000s vibe of it and the way it looked all together and I would deff wear that exact outfit irl!!!

Right? I'm 4' 10" I don't wanna here she's short lol
Me being 5’4 and not being sure if I am average height 🥲
@@alexietrzcionkowski I think between 5' 3" - 5'6" is considered average
Same ☹️
I think she probably means that some comes off looking shorter than she is. Or she’s around models that are much taller
i love when luke gives us little details about the brands, it's v interesting
same! i get to learn more about brands ive never heard about its cool :)
I don’t personally get inspiration from Emmas style BUT it’s definitely very her and it works. I love how she explains her outfits and her thought process in a very natural way. It feels less curated than previous videos which I appreciate ! I had fun watching it !
Luke’s facial expressions when discussing skate fashion and the least favorite outfit sent me
I used to wear all this stuff back in the 90s, while I was a teen rocking out to Nirvana. 😅
I was just thinking why are all her looks straight out of my childhood? 🤣 btw I only know her by name but never got why she is famous lol
@@PersonWithStupid37 she really just complains a lot and burps. In every vlog.
@@cinephile1712 And that’s cool and relatable? 🤨
@@PersonWithStupid37 she talks about life and the way she feels about social media,fashion, she complains about periods and stomach pain without embarrassment(which yes, is very relatable for teenage girls that are usually told to hide embarrassing things like using the bathroom and their periods)
@@PersonWithStupid37 that’s not what I meant. I don’t find it terribly cool or good modeling for a younger audience.
YESSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Same
Exactly
Same ahagag
Righttttt
Pleaseeeee now do a style analysis of the new gossip girl, first half of season one it’s already wrapped up
I hope he see this cause it’s dope
Yesss
its only half way through the season lol
@@dylan-jv9oc sorry my bad, I thought episode 6 was the season finale
you should check out Mina Le's video on it, it's really good.
I think it needs to be said that Emma isn’t dressing to be trendy, it’s great to bring up “is it fashion or is she just skinny” but she’s not trying to be fashion. she’s just dressing the way she thinks looks best on her which is how EVERYONE should dress. if her aesthetic/style doesn’t fit you or look right on you, oh well. make up your own !
i dont think the problem here is emma, its that outfits like these are called fashionable on a body type like hers, but when a fat person would wear an outfit like hers they'd get called lazy and unoriginal
honestly her video was the best. she gave us context and backstory and i think that knowing why she is wearing certain pieces really adds to the overall looks
That second outfit with the short silver dress (minus the boots) gives me mid to late-90's school dance vibes. That shiny embroidered fabric in a super-short spaghetti-strap coupled with the little pailette bag was a super popular look.
well now I think we need vogue to bring on Luke so he can just react to himself :)
and its really ✨stiff✨ I like that about jeans and ✨other things✨

[edit 669- feeling famous over here tbh ahaha]
“nowadays people just throw stuff together - and so like…just have to live with that” LOLLL felt this in the deepest part of my soul
I like Emma and her general style but I actually think that the “is it fashion or is it just skinny (white and young) girl” applies to her 100%.
@@user-hc2tu7ul7j She is tiny but she’s also skinny. She has no stomach fat, her thighs are narrow. She does have a “wider” body type with big ribcage, but still skinny. Speaking as a chubby 5,5 person.
I love how she said things need to be on the shorter side if you’re short! I’ve always said this and no one gets it.
Same! People will act like you're trying to dress slutty but like it's literally necessary so I don't look like a little child.
@@KimberlinLuv I'm 5'8 with short(thick) legs and every dress is somehow too long and too short on me at the same time lol
@@katc2040 Omg 😂 life just isn't easy lol
Yea Im 5"4 like her (which isn't really short, it's about average for a woman) and not curvy and look terrible in midi or maxi skirts. Like I'm a child wearing my mother's clothes or something. Baggy tops and jackets are ok but I wear with tight jeans or mini skirt.
im 5 flat and i HATE to see myself in maxi skirts/dresses and i look like a 10 year old (im 19 lol) with oversized shirts/jackets/sweaters. Its really frustrating cause im insecured about my height and i just get jealous over those with average/tall heights girls out there cause they can easily rock anything. It's even REALLY hard for me to find jeans and sweatpants that wont make me look like im drowning. (im a filipino which explains my height)
my go to is a black crop and jeans and as someone who is on the heavier side i can confirm that cropped tanks and jeans looks good on every body. its simple, looks put together but casual at the same time. i love it on everyone.
agreee
i love that Emma is literally doing what Luke was saying when talking about her LV fashion show appearance (and about many younger influencers in general) that it’d be great if she wore and promoted young cool and more obscure designers
Yes being skinny adds to the aesthetic.
Not really. It’s more being not curvy. There are skinny woman with curves like Kim.k and Emma’s looks wouldn’t look good on her either
@@lauralol6511 kim k isn’t skinny 🤣
@Jury what? No, literally the opposite lol
@Jury usually that's not what ppl mean when they say 'is it fashion or are they skinny?'. it's not saying the outfit isn't fashionable, but being skinny is unfortunately seen as an accessory that adds to the outfit. I think when most ppl look at what's fashionable, they are looking at the body being worn by the clothes, instead of the actual clothes. it's not that skinny ppl don't have fashion sense [cos emma does imo], it's that being skinny is fashionable. i think it all comes down to the objectification of female bodies tbh.
I think the appeal is everything she wears is very true to her personality, and when I think of her as someone to go to for inspo, it's more so her ability to carry a look.
Thursday’s outfit was giving me huge Princess Diaries beach party vibes and I love it
I love Emma’s style so much!! I’m so glad you covered this, and I’m glad you brought up the “is it fashion or are they just skinny” concept. It’s def in no way an attack on the individual, but more so an attack on our culture that glorifies thinness and uses thinness as an accessory. And it’s totally valid to both love Emma’s style and know that some of it is just “fashionable” bc she’s thin. She’s a queen regardless 😊
Dickies , similarly to Carhartt, started out by making clothing for workers (workware) and only later started sponsoring skateboarders. Which was why the material was so resistant. But now it is kind of only known as a "skate brand".
Thanks for another great video Luke !
I think Emma is fashionable because she buys things that are well made and fit her perfectly - for most woman outside the thin thin no curves niche, it is very difficult to buy clothes that work. It is not ‘is it skinny or fashion’ - fashion is made for her.
Alo Yoga did a collab with Saint Laurent for their Rive Droite collection! They are definitely becoming a big name
oh damn i didn't know that.
this was honestly on of my fav outfits of the week from vogue
5'5" isn't that short though.. that's average height and majority of clothes are made for her height and weight. As someone who's curvy and 4'11" clothes barely fit us and shorter is not always better
Yeah ok? She is not dressing for you tho she said it works for herself
i agree! i’m 5’11 and skinny (i definitely have a weird shape though) and nothing fits how i want! jeans are too short, tops are too long and the sleeves are too tight. the girls really just can’t win
god I hate shopping for jeans for that reason because I'm never getting one that fits decently without major adjustment. Its always too long and if it fits my waist its too tight for my hips and crotch but if it goes over my hips its too loose for my waist.
I love how you enjoyed Emma’s style while simultaneously bringing up the conversation of ‘is it fashion or are they skinny’! You were able to hype emma up while also critically assessing bits you weren’t so sure on. Love your channel deffo got a new subscriber here !
When he says that emma is really smart in playing with colours and pulling them all together i totally agree, but of course thats is easier if you have a big wardrobe and more pieces to pick out which matches best.
Emma saying that she's short when she's 5'5", avg height for women in the US is 5'4"....so technically she's taller than average? and then I'm sitting here at 5'1" like girl, if you're short I am some sort of gremlin lmaoo
She is tall I think 5’5 is 1.65cm and it is a lot I’m 5’1 - 1.58 and I’m short in mexico but there is shorter people here that are the real gremlins HAHA
She didnt say she way short, she said that she wasn’t super tall
well she’s a white girl in la they tend to be a lot taller around here so i get why she thinks she’s short (i’m from la too)
5’5 in person actually pretty short i think it just cause she skinny so clothes on her makes her look taller so 5’4-5’5 is average height for women
@@bo550 5’5 is still a height that’s not too short or not too tall though considering there is tons of women that’s below 5’4 I mean she could be feeling short in comparison to the people she sees daily which is fair enough lmao
I didn't watch the Vogue video bc I knew you were going to react to it lol - we need Luke's honest opinions
can’t believe Luke didn’t know ugg made slippers..they are my everything
I love how you mentioned the orthodontist first LOL you don’t hear that too often
i always find emma's style so intriguing despite the fact that i don't think i'd wear half the things she would. fun video!
I actually really like the Saturday look. It's so cute. really like the mesh back with the red piping and LOVE the skirt!
me too!! i was wondering why he didn't like it, it was one of my favorites and i genuinely wear things like that all the time
I really appreciated your commentary on "is it fashion or is she skinny" I think that you understand it from a fashion perspective but you also don't want to be mean. It's a great balance
it’s kinda hard to judge Emma’s style because she is her own vibe. like she kinda wears what she wants, and i live for it 💗
It would be cool if u reacted to the new Gossip Girl styling.
this is the only way i can watch these vogue videos and that will never change!!! i love ur commentary always makes these videos more interesting
Emma’s style is so opposite to my personal style but I find her so intriguing! Loved this
Was waiting for this one !!! I love her style very chill , casual, with a lil chic. Like
Her personality too made me even more invested to watch !
wasn't expecting the Jeff koons shade and I could NOT be more grateful for it
Please do the Trisha paytas closet tour that would literally be the funniest thing ever
Yesss
yesssss plssss
Please nooooo lol
It was so bad. The amount of money she spent on ugly items is actually disgusting. If you spend that amount of money you should at least love the item. She's like "I bought this for $20 000 and i dont even like it hahahahaha".
Did she do a closet tour? 🤔
shes not exactly the wow most fashionable human on the planet but shes definitely defined her style as her own slightly tying in trends and knowing what works for her and her body. she gives off a very casual yet spunky vibe as a person and her clothing really reflects that
Ok, Luke. Am I missing some vid where you talked about this? Why don’t you like the Van Gogh LV bags? I thought they were cute, (and I’m kind of loving it as someone with an appreciation for art history) and tbh I would just love to hear your opinion on those bags and why you aren’t a fan :)
I second this!
5:10 "The collaboration wasn't really necessary. Jeff made the bags but not the [painter name] or the Van Gogh"
He said this so I think his reason is something along the lines of it being lazy design to slap something famous on a purse that otherwise has no meaning to this designer or the house
In my opinion, the idea of having an artist’s painting on your bag is cute, but well known paintings (such as Starry Night) can make it look cheap. They like to slap that painting onto everything for 50¢ lol It’s different when the artist does a piece specifically for the brand or individual bag. That’s a true collaboration whereas the Van Gogh one is not really. Gives off similar vibes as having mickey mouse on your bag; overdone, tacky, and cheap looking :/
how cool would a series be about denim around the world!
I mean, I love Jeff Koons and the masterpieces he chose for the collaboration, but these handbags just remind me of cheap merchandise from a tourist shop
Yes they look like what you can buy at a museum gift shop
OMG Coperni appearing on this !! Like I’ve been following the brand for years, so happy it’s getting the light it deserves
For info: the couple running coperni worked as artistic directors for Courrèges !
I've been waiting for this one TURN IT UP!!
U should reach to Kpop high fashion stage outfits cause their stylists tend to alter high end dresses for dancing and it would be interesting to heard ur opinions on it!
“But my initial reaction is disgust” thank god we didn’t mistake you for liking that outfit
I love Bright Cellars! Happy for your sponsorship! Also love your content in general! So glad this finally was covered!!!
thank you so much!!!
My stand on the is it fashion or ur just skinny thing:
Your body line IS part of your appearance as much as your clothes. An outfit doesn’t have to fit every body type to be valid as « real fashion ».
When you chose and wear your clothes, you need to take into account your body type.
A same outfit could look amazing on a skinny girl = be a great outfit, and not fit a chubby girl and be a bad outfit…and VICE VERSA !
I sometimes see outfits that work sooo well on curvy girls but are underwhelming on skinny girls too!!
The clothes can be simple - it doesn’t mean that the outfit is bad, it just doesn’t work on this girl and does on that girl,we’re all different !!!
*A good outfit is one that fits and sublimate your body line and charisma, THAT’s ITTTT*
I completely agree, I think a part of fashion is wearing and finding clothes that are flattering to your body type and height.
Yess I see it this way too to an extent
I think you're missing the point a little bit. Nobody is saying that everything has to flatter every body type, and you're completely correct that different styles suit different body shapes. The problem is that thin people can "get away with" much more in regards to fashion than fat people can, and that's what sets the trend and gets praised. A thin woman wearing a baggy t-shirt and jean shorts is effortlessly cool, but a fat woman wearing the same thing is gross or lazy or inappropriate. A fat woman wearing the same things wouldn't get the same praise as Emma does.
yesssss
What also plays into the equation is outfits on skinny women usually appear into mainstream fashion. They become incredibly popular and therefore stores stock these items because they will sell EVEN THOUGH they don't compliment and flatter plus size women, supply and demand baby. The fashion industry is built on skinny white women bc they are favoured as the 'ideal' body type, which is all fuelled by misogyny and the male gaze. A whole other conversation but ultimately is still very relevant.
You know what, I really really really like this one. And her background looks so cool as well
I’m loving the asymmetric sculptural face skirt !! V cool!!
where do I find it!!
@@ceciwells9015 she said x
Part of the thing with gen z fashion (like the platform boots w/ mini dress) is to embody the spirit of punk. Not necessarily the style, but that vibe of ‘yeah I’m wearing this with this. Yeah it throws you off.’ It’s a lil bit of wanting to balance out pretty femme and soft things with brute, masc and edgy things. That’s honestly what a lot of our generation considers a balanced look. It’s not even if it visually matches, we just like to have a little something ✨Extra✨
Interesting perspective! I though the way she matched things was just very off putting, but maybe thats just a different concept of matching (mine is more classic)
Luke, if you're looking for ideas for videos, comment on the Vogue videos of celebrities commenting on their past looks! They're super fun, and there's lots of good vintage fashion to comment on!
I do Kohls inventory too often. The clearance section in the was a nightmare. I had to thank the Pan... for thinning out the clearance areas.
Fashion aside, your videos are helping me through a tough time so merci beaucoup!
Yay I was looking forward to this one !!
me!!!
I want her whole Friday outfit! It's cute and comfy for the upcoming fall/winter months!
I’m obsessed with your hair, looks so good 😍
I live in Japan (Yokohama), and "a little bit Grandpa" is definitely a thing here with teens/young adults. It's cute on the right person, but it might be one of those "is it fashion, or are you just skinny?" moments.
“Is it fashion or are you just skinny” 🤯🤯 Would love to see a more diverse body type on this series… other than Ashley Graham have there been any average to plus size women?
I think Addison Rae is pretty average. Like, she's slim but not skinny. I hope average and plus size women get more representation because as it turns out, it's important to see someone like us on these videos.
Chrys Theo I’d say Addison Rae is about a US 6. The average US woman is apparently a 14.
Love this!!! Can you maybe do a denim video? Looking into denim-focused brands. Would love that!
What you said about people loving jeans is so true! Like I recently found my 3 staple jeans from high school and got so emotional putting them on again!
18:01 May the record show Emma called them Yoga pants lol so for all the people in the yoga pants vs flared leggings generational debate that she kinda inadvertently caused by bringing them back she has spoken lol
I actually was very ready to judge because I don’t really care for Emma but I was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty cool, not as basic as I thought it would be. Definitely a different vibe like Luke was saying and I appreciate that.
I don’t know if I know much about fashion, but I 1000% partake in the grabbing and tying together pieces via color
Oml he said Tyler the creator
ok, we have to comment on that shirt that Luke is wearing! Awesome cut, great color. And I always adored those type of sleeves, I think they make arms look fantastic. Love it!
That vacation fit is soooo Mary-Kate & Ashley coded!
I'm 5'5 I've never considered myself short, out of all of Emma's clothing item, I would wear the silver dress.
Guys check out Tega Akinola! She's an UK based rework designer known for phone cable heels, fleece handbags and the Nike Swoosh earrings! She's constantly creating new and fun work!!
Omgg I’ve BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 😭
I've thought about this "is it fashion or are you just skinny?" thing in a new way recently since I've discovered Kibbe body types. Really helps me understand why models can get away with things that other people can't.
emma definitely styled the outfits herself, it’s very much how she dresses
Haha, the video I watched before this was miiasaourus asking 'is it fashion or is she just skinny'? Reacting to this same vid. I enjoyed your take on this, she's very west coast cool vibe.
THE MOST EXCITED IVE BEEN FOR A VIDOE IN WEEKS
this is the first time ive watched your channel and honestly i LOVE the way you explain things and how you are very knowledgeable about what you’re talking about. You have the vocabulary for it. :))
tis all ♡
Thank you for continuing the discussion of "is it fashion or are they just thin?" because fat girls be stylin' and deserve just as much hype as Emma!
I would say if the skirt was navy like the back of the top it would be a ELEVATE the look so much and look wayyyy more cohesive for the Saturday look!!
I primarily want to find joy in my fashion and it seems like emma does too!! Happy for her!!
She literally just wants to have fun it makes me so happy that young people are seeing this. I actually think this is a fantastic relationship to have with fashion
It would be interesting to see one of these videos with curvy/plus size models
Thanks for video luke!
Btw, blanc literally means white, so it's safe to bet that any wine that has blanc in it, is a white)
Yeah , noticed that too
The entire time I watched the vogue video I was like wtf I’ve NEVER heard of this brand before and feel disconnected from fashion lol but watching this reassures me I’m not too out of the loop haha

I think she's following a trend which has been on the rise for years (which is fine) and has the resources to do it better than everyone else. So ppl look to her for her style but they already have it, they just don't have her budget etc. No shade on her but I think we give celebs a lot of credit for being "fashionable" when there's no reason for them not to be
If I had to pick I'd deff say the vacation outfit was my fav! I loved the whole 70s mixed with 2000s vibe of it and the way it looked all together and I would deff wear that exact outfit irl!!!
you should do a video on Devon Lee Carlson’s style!!
Yesssss love her
