Love it when you talk about fashion history! It looks like you really appreciate the subject and I can't help but to pay close attention to what you're saying, keep it up!
You should cover photographers and brands that have done “assault victims” as fashion campaign images in the past. Such as models who are supposed to be unconscious or submissive. That would be very interesting to look back on in 2019 considering the light that has been shed recently.
I saw in the past you made a fashion review video about a Drag Race episode. If you still watch, it would be interesting to see a season recap (any season, or maybe when AS4 is over) of your thoughts on some of the looks from a fashion perspective--particularly designer references that might have completely gone over the heads of us peasants.
Taylor E I would be extremely interested to know his take as well. Drag is pretty theatrical and over the top, so I’d be curious to see how he assessed the look from a fashion point of view.
Paul Smith I'm happy that drag is becoming more accepted as an art form but at the same time it's getting more mainstream and the queens don't have the artistic freedom they used to. ru said it was bad taste however I loved manillas look and feel was limiting the art form. I would love to hear what Luke thinks about that and the runway looks so far. I know he used to do those videos.
@@gracemarielle5181 "Rupauls drag race done fucked up drag" in the eloquent phrasing of Jasmine Masters. Which is the truth. Rupaul doesn't give a fuck about drag or the contestants. The show has become a marketing platform for everything that keeps the Rupaul legacy alive and his bank account firmly padded (excuse the pun). It also seems hypocritical how Ru claims manilas' runway was in "bad taste" when his own career is predicated on looks emulating the desperation and plight of black/trans street walkers in the meat packing district!! The show is now pandering to the whims of the most annoying sjw's and sensitive snowflakes hiding racism under "preference" in a toxic popularity contest engineered by producers. Creativity on this show is no longer rewarded.... Rupauls drag race is to showcase unnecessary drama it seems. I loved her look... whimsically dark which is what true drag is all about.
so obvi super happy that your channel is growing but like also wanna keep you a lil secret bc im selfish and dont want other people to have good things in their lives
Do reference Marlene Dietrich when talking about women in suits. She wore actual men’s suits in the 1930’s. And was most likely the first. She was everything!!!!
I really enjoy your videos. Not only do I learn something about fashion or history but I also really enjoy your opinion. You are authentic and hilarious, thank you :)
Great piece! For the first one.... it’s really inspiring in a way. And people SHOULD have been outraged but they should have directed that outrage at the actual entity that’s deserving of it- the oil and gas companies that cause so many oil spills in the 1st place
ok more serious question: how do you conduct your research? Are there certain sources that you always go to or is it really a simple Google search? And is your analysis based on your opinions or do you take into consideration other critics' opinions?
Can you PLEASE do a video on how to dress?? like teach us how to put together a stylish outfit on the daily or like style tips to look chic all the time?!?!? WE NEED UR HELP TNX ILY
I personally LOVE videos like this and the James Charles Sisters Apparel one as well- videos about the history of fashion, brands, people, etc. And especially the politics of them!! Great job!
There are a few photos that you are amazing and changed fashion photography that you could have mentioned. 1) Richard Avendon - Dovima with Elephants 2) Calvin Klein - child porno chic 1995 or Brooke Shields 1980. 3) Herb Ritts - Super Models 1989 4) Erwin Blumenfeld Model on Eiffel Tower 7) Twiggy with Vidal Sassoon. 8) Dior- Renee Breton wearing the New Look
Thank you for that Givenchy photo with Donatella. I am barely fashion adjacent but I know that photo and I adore it. So clean and strict, Donatella looks amazing and powerful, and I would do things for that suit, and to have the body again to wear it.
This is one of your best videos in my opinion! It shows how much passion you have for fashion and it's history. Plus, this video is super informative and I will definitely look more into photography and it's effects on society.
the Donna Karan shoot is also super interesting because if you think about the political context of the early 90's (specifically the Anita Hill sexual assault hearing against supreme court justice Clarance Thomas)-- 1992 was actually considered the year of the woman in terms of how many women ran for and joined US Congress that year! love love love the history. fashion will always be political!
Donatella in the givenchy ad isn’t JUST a charity case! You said yourself that she is the FACE of versace in a lot of ways. Therefore, even just by having her in the givenchy ad, it’s also advertising Versace.
Really been enjoying your content! ~ both the "reaction" videos and the historic/informative ones. Have you ever checked out the fashion auctions on Christie's auction site? I couldn't ever afford the stuff but its so interesting and you came to mind as I was browsing the Catherine Deneuve et Yves Saint-Laurent Paris 24 January 2019 pages. Some how I heard imaginary commentary in your voice as I went lol. Thanks for sharing your take on fashion.
My favourite UA-cam channel ever; i am obsessed with fashion but I'm not as educated on it's history as I'd like to be, I love your style and i really love these videos, thank you 💕🌟🌹
The more you elaborate on fashion statements/ trends/ icons, the more I like your videos. Regarding the notion of " masculine femininity", I think Marlene Dietrich was one of the first to sport it. And for me, Madonna will always be a fashion icon (see Jean Paul Gaultier collaborations among many others). Lastly, let me add that I also like Donatella Versace. Keep posting videos like that :)
Thank you very much for this video! It’s really interesting to see the campaigns, editorials and etc. that changed fashion and people’s perception of fashion
First of all, I stumbled across your channel and I love you! Now that that is out of the way, look up Marlena Dietrich. She is an actress from the 30's, 40's and so on. She was one of the first women to take a suit made literally for a man, have it impeccably tailored with a crisp oxford and loafers and looked stunning! She was also one of the only open bisexual women from that time. Alot of people say lesbian, but she actually dated both sexes and is famous for being open about it. Aside from that......keep doing you boo!
Richard Avedon, Dovima with Elephants , editorials using Lily Cole at the height of her career she made everything look like a story you wish you could read. French Twists" by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue US May 2004, and Vogue Italy The Black Issue.
Dig this bro! Keep up the positivity in your videos, it really shows how much fashion knowledge you have. Anyone can say somethings bad andit takes alot to prove somethings good.
Love your vids. However, when you speak about things that may have happened in 1975 and earlier, it might be good to hear from people who were adults at that time (way) back then. Helmut Newton's severity and gender line blurring were very much part of that times doing it throughout fashion, music, and art; and we (well at least we in places like Paris, London and New York) were WAY more comfortable with it than it seems only people now again today are, and thinking they are the first ones to applaud it. Did I say that I love your vids? Cheers.
Donna Karan used Rosemary McGrotha so much in her ads in the 80s and 90s I always assumed she was meant to represent a highly idealized version of the designer herself. I also always figured that Hillary Clinton always wore Karan when she was First Lady because of that ad campaign.
Yes, that Givenchy's ad with Donatella is powerful! But I also think is a win to win for both brands. I'm mean, before you read Givenchy's name, you see her and immediately comes to your mind Versace first ;) Anyways, there's no loyalty for any brand, everyone shares customers.
yes sis get that sponsorship
“Fashion is political, it always has been and it always will be. So shut up.”
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
PREACH
dammn these vids looking mad professional now and i'm digging it
Can't even get the tripod level ;_;
You never heard something like this before? I've heard it over and over. See saw seen
do videos on specific brands talking about their best or worst fashion campaigns in the past
INSERT NAME HERE yaaas
Yesss
Ok but I want a huge print of that androgynous model in a parisian alleyway. It's beautiful!
Love it when you talk about fashion history! It looks like you really appreciate the subject and I can't help but to pay close attention to what you're saying, keep it up!
Right, he makes it so intresting. He has a great voice!

That's a great idea.
I love it when you bless us plebeians with your political and fashion knowledge
I really want a high impact fashion image of 2019 to be focused on hypocrisy of the fashion industry.

Yes! We've had some good and some awful Runways so far!
Missed YSL' s iconic Opium ad with Sophie Dahl. Loved the video though, as always!
Would love to see your take on all stars 4 (esp manillas pad dress)
What's your take on it?
yes gawd

YESS THANK YOUUUUUU FOR THIS, I am a fashion photography student and this is top notch
very Good video..i love the early 1990 Versace ads done by Herb Ritts featuring the supermodels
Drags/spills that tea on Refinery29 and I applaud that.
Quality content as always. Love this kind of videos!

Also, you are very eloquent and know exactly what you are talking about
You should make this into a series, talking about iconic images!! 💗💗
Omg your make up is looking snnnnnaccchhhhedd !!! 😍😍😍
shavacadoo wait Luke is wearing makeup?
Yes, but only a tiny bit. Some concealer, powder and a bit of contour makeup on his cheeks to make his cheekbones pop. Queen looks fabulous ❤️
Gurlll we got a sponsorship, yes yes!
so greatful for luke and his channel!!! What would my little judgy critical fashion-obsessed hearth do without him???

Wasn't interested in high fashion until I found you.... You are teaching me a lot !!

Donatella is so iconic she can make anything instantly cooler and fashionable.
Just watched this, you said you might turn into a series and that would be really worth watching

This was awesome! I love that this channel is about fashion education and now how other mediums effect that!! I hope this becomes a series!
Sis get your coin! This video format is everything and I’m gagging on the thought of ‘Histoire de la mode’ being a regular thing.
sister is coming through with the video and audio quality, those sponsorships and outfits
Congrats on the sponsor~!!! I'm rootin' for ya!
We love a social conscious sister. This was great. I learn something all the time. I need more.

Thank you very much for this video! It’s really interesting to see the campaigns, editorials and etc. that changed fashion and people’s perception of fashion
Kristen is my fave 90s model and I’m convinced she’s part aquatic creature. Like hello her Vogue Italia mermaid editorial by Tim Walker.... wig

Congrats for your sponsorship darling! Looooove your channel, you are the perfect amount of educaional and sassy

Waiting for that Versace fashion show review
Please more educational fashion vids! Loved your Alexander McQueen video overviewing his runway shows. I would love if you did more!!
I dont give a shit about the showman mcqueen but I would have loved if he overviewed Gianni Versace early 90s runways
Never looked better😍

I love when you teach us!!! So good
UGHHHH I LOVE YOUR COMMENTARY AND ANALYSISSSSSSS YOURE DOING AMAZINGGGG
Also, single images or looks that have defined major trends! And how they have helped evolve following designs and designers afterward.
Make a blog cuz I’m obsessed with the way you word sentences
That's rue Aubriot (O-BREE-O) in Le Marais. Walked down it nearly every evening after work at the boutique.
im so into this video concept- loved it. houses talking about the environment + issues is a move
Thoroughly enjoyed this. I love some good fashion photog
I love how well researched these topics are, honestly...we stan!
This is threatening to become my favorite video from you yet. great job!!
Do a video on your favorite ad campaigns from recent seasons. Loved this vid!
Love your vids. However, when you speak about things that may have happened in 1975 and earlier, it might be good to hear from people who were adults at that time (way) back then.

Love the Donna Karan one
This needs to become a series!!!
Loving your channel Luke • Beautifully written and performed •
Please watch the golf de fleur autumn winter collection. It’s not really your style but I’d love to hear your opinion.
Donna Karan used Rosemary McGrotha so much in her ads in the 80s and 90s I always assumed she was meant to represent a highly idealized version of the designer herself. I also always figured that Hillary Clinton always wore Karan when she was First Lady because of that ad campaign.
Love the Nan Goldin sweater
The iconic Nan Goldin's photo of Misty and Jimmy Paulette on your hoodie is everything!
