To me, the ultimate luxury is handcrafted, exclusive, perhaps one of one, clothing. This is something big brands cannot bring to me, therefore, small brands for me bring the highest fashion - actually, specifically, I love student work or random brands from a shop that stocks directly from a designer. Its hard to find them, but so worth it (either that or sample sales)
totally get that perspective, thats the gist of what you were saying in Fashionlover's recent video right? I guess its best to get on the "ground floor" and buy into designers before they get big. I would be interested to learn more about designers who potentially run small ateliers working on couture clothing thats avant-garde / high fashion.
I think small brands can create high fashion and even better than the couture houses because the houses we all know as of now used to be small brands as well its just that today we have more info on everything and can put the best together with a small team as well.
Restrictions are the key to inspirational design, if you have a certain budget, contacts, logistics, fabrics, supplies, etc, you will learn work arounds and end up with something way more unique and inspiring than you would if you had everything at your disposal.... I'm an artist, creator, designer, "dreamer", and I always create my best work when I'm restricted, it's like having a blank piece of paper and pencil, I'd sit for hour's and not make a mark on that expensive clean sheet of A3, but give me a blemished & wrinkled sheet of A4 with stains on it, and I'll make the most out of it and create my new signature style in seconds!
Simple answer: yes. Ehh answer: depending, how far are they wiling to go for their legacy and pushing and encompassing the zeitgeist of fashion itself. Taking the good with the bad. Anyone feel free to chime in as well :)
Bruv, I am 4 minutes into the video and unfortunately I want to start bitching about this first denim jacket. Even though it has some cool design choices (as the asymmetrical side pocket entrance), the overall design feels lazy. The brand creator's rant about inspiration sounds to me like AI generated mess. "Future-forward" jacket ain't having such a simple pattern, and construction that makes the jacket semi-dysfunctional: (non-dual zipper, wide bottom "opening", i.e., enjoy wind in your back). Sorry, it kinda triggered me😬
Listen, I'll comment to you what I said to janitor, criticism is ideally direct and unflinching with designers / artists who are developed, at the top of their field, and have all the resources. Criticism of new artists and designers is best when it is tempered, be honest but recognize they're just beginning. Better yet, provide me an example of a new designer whose work you like and should be highlighted.
@Brave New Wear Is it about criticism of emerging designers? Or providing you examples of what I like? Because it is two different things. First of all, I was not critical of anything that required "resources." I was critical of a designer who was more concerned with creating a convoluted ethos around the brand rather than creating an "item" (e.g., jacket) itself. So miss me with that. The clothing should be worn and should be wearable first and foremost. Secondly, honestly, we don't need another brand, another designer, another whatever. We (as humanity) are already overproducing a lot. So, another dude who bought a sewing machine and decided that he is a designer does not really spark joy in me.😑
@@ZerogGorich i think some viewers have become defensive as I've made comments here but its not my intention. These designers are my "sources" and I dont want them to feel like being included in the video was a net negative if they're just mocked. in terms of my response regarding criticism - call it resources, experience, or development of creative vision, speaking for myself i know that the creative process often involves producing work that might be reductive, derivative, etc etc, but my personal opinion is that we need to allow new creatives some breathing room to take the first steps or explore to develop ideas or an aesthetic. A lot of great artists and designers started by creating work we might think was cringe worthy. That thinking is why I might disagree with your second point, while i agree that the garment industry is creating a massive amount of waste and strain on the resources of our planet, I think we should point our ire towards corporations and governments that produce a lot more waste and not small creators. Either way, that doesnt mean you're wrong to say it doesnt spark joy! It doesnt mean you're wrong to say that you dont like someones work. But I'm asking the people who watch my videos to be polite to my guest.
I kinda doubt experts on german philosophy share their distaste with something by saying its "mega cringe" but try to keep an open mind. These designers are just starting their journey, harsh criticism like that isn't helpful.
@Brave New Wear An expert level education on philosophy is not needed to point out moments that are cringe, but nice attempt at an appeal to authority. As an aside, I've studied and written about metaphysics - a key study of Hegel's - pretty extensively. Good fun!
Sorry, but there is no way for that denim jacket to cost $575.....The construction is not good at all. It's cheap to see those overlock stitches when u decide to use flat felled seam to finish that jacket. Besides, the fit is not good, either because u can see a lot of excess fabric on the armhole area. For a $575 jacket especially a workwear style jacket, there is no split on the cuff area. By looking at that garment I think it's a one piece sleeve design, not a jacket sleeve which is also a cheap design choice. Overall, it's just a 1st year fashion design student work .
whole idea of interviewing guys from new brands feels like kids pretending to be adults, like yeah, they can share their point of view but it's not like anyone really cares, just "in the know" thing, pretentious act of reaching out to people. Can't even say they're breaking any new grounds, just another boxy ipped earranged\oddly stitched silhouette clothing, I'm tired of this trend and how it stagnated whole fashion industry
hold up dude, first off the point of the video is to "make people care", a lack of discussion on a subject makes it "newsworthy." The tone of your comment makes it sound like what I did is pointless but you're contradicting yourself by suggesting its pretentious to share the work of new designers and simultaneously saying its insular. Second, its real easy to throw stones and doing so certainly doesn't help animate new life into fashion (probably the opposite). Third, honestly, I don't have beef with you. I'm not afraid of people claiming my videos are "childish," the designers are brave enough to share their work here, I'm earnestly asking if you can propose an act (or video subject) that would better foster a more vibrant fashion community if talking to independent designers isnt it.
@@BraveNewWear sorry if I was way too rude, I know you're doing your best and that's why I watch your videos, talking about garments and inspirations is pretentious, showing off your mastery is more important in my opinion, and these people don't have much to show yet, it's not your video that is childish, just the interview thing. I don't think it's up to me to decide what would be a great topic for your video, maybe tell about someone who want to change the scene instead of people who approach it the same way as everyone else.
Plagiarist (plagiaristofficial) has been doing this strong out here in Australia. It’s definitely not trendy like y2k or maximalist etc but they’re definitely worth mentioning when it comes to high end or luxury.

The questions and their answers were highly insightful! Gave me some perspective not just on fashion but on design as a whole.
I think small brands can create high fashion and even better than the couture houses because the houses we all know as of now used to be small brands as well its just that today we have more info on everything and can put the best together with a small team as well.

Simple answer: yes.
Ehh answer: depending, how far are they wiling to go for their legacy and pushing and encompassing the zeitgeist of fashion itself.
Taking the good with the bad.
Anyone feel free to chime in as well :)
I ultimately think its possible but I agree its a matter of their commitment to pursue a specific vision.

High fashion? Old Navy.

Honestly same. It seems like a good jacket but it's pretty simple and doesn't live up to the concepts he claimed inspired it

"Inspired by Hegel writings"
It's a cool jacket but he can piss off with that. Mega cringe.
Do you have something against it being a source of inspiration?
@@janitor1165 I think it means the Inspired totally missed the meaning behind Hegel's work. Ideas, not things.
@@bap20 Ok fair, the jacket is mid anyway

Who cares, can’t afford it anyways
True high fashion can’t be bought online
Plagiarist (plagiaristofficial) has been doing this strong out here in Australia. It’s definitely not trendy like y2k or maximalist etc but they’re definitely worth mentioning when it comes to high end or luxury.
appreciate the recco!
