McQueen throwing a baked potato at Madonna is my favourite British pop culture moment of the noughties.
I'm just finding out today and it's the most tickling thing I've ever heard
Not Madonna getting smacked in the head with a baked potato. 🤭🤣💀
I mean tbh she's insufferable and awful, I can't blame the man xD
SIS 😭😭😂
She'd have sanctified him in American media if he'd have done it with a tray of catholic wafers or a flacid loaf of unleavened bread. But, carbs on the face of a popstar without first dipping them in diet coke? Blasphemy, the plastic surgery damages to consider, alone.
Art must have layered meaning and not just because you hate your own body so much you need to get the carbs off your own plate.
You want to see people truly galvanized in Madonna's narcisstic wrath, go check out the oprah interview from the 90's with her sister or any interview with her brother after their mutually-beneficial career break.
@@maebandy she never spoke of the act though, tom ford did. what are you going on about!?
@@erickmoyao5089 sorry its classified info until you get your first wrinkle.
she is an icon she's a legend and she's stilll the moment.
Forever and always!
Thank you
Lee or Amy? Both icons
@@Benzillionaire the word SHE should tip you off
@@Benzillionaire true, but talking about amy
If you’re going to do a series on fashion feuds you have to do an episode of the sheer HATRED YSL and Pierre Berger had for Tom Ford, that beef is Iconique. YSL even sicked the French version of OSHA on Tom Ford, he told anyone who would listen what a hack Ford was (even though he basically saved Rive Gauche from going under) truly a feud for a the books
Iconique! 😂
*sicced
That and Yves' feud with Karl Lagerfeld
I would LOVE a video with your take on the Elsa Schiaparelli vs Coco Chanel feud. It was an iconic moment in fashion history and I think not many people know about it
Ever since he mentioned Chanel SETTING SCHIAPARELLI ON FIRE I’ve been dying to know more about them… Google doesn’t have the juicy details I crave
God yes this has to be covered
@@RogueVideoRaven the podcast respect the dead (where they roast dead people who were awful) has two episodes on Chanel and they mention the feud between her and Schiaparelli.
edit: they also cover the fire incident
Its a shame they didnt get on because Amy wouldve looked INCREDIBLE in McQueen, the early slim tailored dresses wouldve been incredible on her. But maybe its exactly their similarity as to why they didnt get on, just like me and my dad 😶🌫️
We hate those we similarities in, it shows us just where we are weak. And the less powerful of the paradigm feels a betrayal in that. Because what else could you feel from someone who knows you as well as you know yourself?
The rest of the world can be forgiven or ignored. Their experience is from another perspective and so can't be expected to understand your pain.
But, if you've got another succesful social outcast, body loathing, hurt kid at a party and they pick on you, because only they can see how you are weak. That's beyond pain, that's betrayal. Had he sent himself and not a dress, they might have helped one another to save them from themselves.
No, it's because he went around insulting people without any regard for them.
I loved Amy and her music and thought she would overcome her addiction- she did try!! I still miss her! Thank you Luke for this series - a great idea❗️
I love her voice, I really miss her Frank era becuase she was so young and talented. I do hate what she got mixed up into though, she basically became the girls in F Me Pumps she sang about. But she was truly a take no shit girl who stuck to her guns. Plus she had a lovely fashion sense.
Regardless what happened beetween the two of them, in the end they were two human beings who died tragically. May they rest in peace🕊
The tragedy comes in their inability to recognize how similarly they existed and how that friendship might've helped bring them peace.
Interesting fact about Amy’s death- she actually had quit drinking for a little bit beforehand. Obviously she relapsed and went on a binge. She drank a ton of vodka, an amount she had previously been able to. Because she’d taken a break, her tolerance has decreased drastically and she likely didn’t understand that drinking the same amount she had in the height of her alcohol use would ultimately cause her body to shut down. Same thing happened to Bradley of Sublime. Had been clean off heroin but wanted a special occasion night of fun but he used to the level that his tolerance has previously been able to take and he overdosed. Very sad. Stay away from substances guys it’s not worth it promise
Or just don't ever stop lol
@@SLUBUG don’t know if that’s the key to longevity either 😂
I actually thought she had passed bc of going off of alchool cold turkey (in severe cases, doing so can induce symptoms so strong they can kill you)
@@leonorteixeira8039 that is something that happens! Withdrawals can kill someone. However she died of accidental alcohol poisoning
Winehouse was a bulimic since her early teens, suffered drug abuse, alcoholism, emotional trauma and the body is resilient and tries to balance out the damage by compensating in otherwise unsustainable ways. The problem with quickly removing one component of a perilously balanced system, is that it causes the whole thing to collapse. And the weakened blood vessels, gastric lining of an ed sufferer compiled with alcohol overcomsumption is deadly especially if they are feeling such misguided self-loathing for all the calories they just drank.
Overdoses in former addicts occur because the bodies tolerance for drugs has lessened but the sufferers mental anguish and their appetite to drown it out has not.
Been a fan of Amy Winehouse since her first song and still a fan now. She was such an icon and she always kept it real right to the end.
exactly, she was a shining bright light in a sea of plastic pop in the mainstream at the time and i was truly saddened by her passing.
Basically they were probably very similar in temperament and being British and adding alcohol and drugs etc adds fuel to the fire. You have to understand British people to think this is completely unsurprisingly. I reckon if they had both lived they would have become friends or at least civil when older. What a shame.
Oh they were twin flames all right and had everything to gain and lose by becoming friends. Two successful miscreants, unabashed in their own art forms to call attention to unseemly social pain? Everyone around them had reason to incite this fued, people who profit off other's misery, which only continues when they feel alone.
I would've loved to see how this drug dealer, sorry fashion stylist friend of their's come post-mortem narrator to the daily news actually handled his intermediary role at the time when they were alive. Was he screwing Lee when he was 5lbs overweight or being besties with Amy when her needle marks were hanging out? Subutex is a helpful co-therapeutic to trauma aware methodologies which most in Amy's position are egodystonic of. Her trust was too broken to use a pill to solve problems especially when handed to her by a person her broken trust was partially resultant from.
idk if this may count as a "feud" but I would be very curious to know if there are any historical fashion brands who have opposed/refused to dress members of a totalitarian regime
as a fashion and political nerd, this actually sounds really really fascinating. hope luke sees this!!!
@@hamilcross I recently learned that Coco Chanel was a Nazi sympathizer and actively worked to use anti-Jewish laws to seize up full ownership of Chanel Parfums over the Wertheimers, a Jewish family of entrepreneurs she had partnered with. Post WW2 the Wertheimers were given back ownership.
"He hit her in the head with a baked potato". I don't think anyone needs to be drunk to do that. Best line ever!
Very excited for you to continue to push into fashion/pop culture history territory
I used to be mates with Amys hairdresser , Alex. He fashioned the beehive hair for her.
She was such a star and so sad she was so troubled.
I loved Amy Winehouse and was so shocked when she died, so sad. But I like this video format! Give us high fashion and higher drama!
Absolutely looove this format!
I "only" know how to make garments and what I find pretty, but I actually don't care about brands at all and more about the people behind everything. So I love to hear about such stories.
And by god that's an iconic story!
Love this video, the idea of this series. Although the end of this feud is obviously exceptionally tragic with the death of two true visionaries, I look forward to what you talk about on the next one!
Two of my favorite artists of all time. They are missed and have left an amazing legacy. This was really interesting to watch and I enjoyed this style! You are an amazing writer!
I love this story. Elsa Peretti did the same to a £9,000 fur coat that Halston had gifted to her. Iconic.
i fucking love this woman with my whole entire heart
me too! So many of my favorite celebrities have passed..it's always the ones that are the brightest lights for this dark world. I wonder what she would think and say of this world today.
You're a breath of fresh air, Luke. I wasn't expecting nor did i know about this. Two of my very favorites in design, sound, and vision. I look forward to more of this. The unexpected knowledge of fashion and music. I'm curious about Ralph Rucci and Anna Wintour. And what happened between them, as I've read that Anna wouldn't show Ralph's work in the pages of Vogue. Thank you, Love 😘 ttyl
Schiaparelli vs Chanel is an iconic feud to take a look at.
Question.
Is it true that LV purposely sent bags from different brand to the celebs that had bad reputation?
Yes LOL the sent snookie a Gucci bag when she was arrested actually he has a vid on it
I like this new series from you. I never know, 'til now, that these two had serious beef before. And im excited for more!
I love this series!!! And any fashion history related thing you do! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Me too!
Yes!!!
Love them both, had never heard of this fued-your videos are great, really great 😘 please keep em coming!
Alexander McQueen and Amy winehouse. This speaks to my soul.
I think they are both really iconic brits some of my favorites from the mid 2000s they were very outspoken and had no filter I just wish they could have collabed and given us some epic fashion moments by setting their differences aside as they seemed to come from similar backgrounds.
She wore Thai designer "Disaya"
on Back to Black Cover Album.
The thumbnail says it all, they were fire vs. fire. This was a very well researched history of these two unique people. We still talk about them, we still marvel at their creations, and maybe it is trite to say, we still mourn their loss. Not sure of the direction this new series will go, but I hope that Fashion Feuds can be extended to disagreements with any entity (corporations, public perceptions, conservatism, fashion status quo) not just one human vs. another human. Whatever direction this series takes, I am looking forward to future videos.
Thank you for this video! As you can tell by my profile photo, I'm a HUGE Amy fan! I had V.I.P. tickets to see her in 2007 but she had cancelled her US tour to enter rehab for the second time I think. When 'Rehab' was the big song and I'd be at the bar or club and it would come on my friends would say "Holly! It's your song!" LMFAO! I never had the chance to see her again and I would have probably met her too cuz I had VIP and they were pretty expensive tickets (a guy that liked me had paid for them lol) I was waiting for a train when I got the call from my boyfriend that she had been found dead :( I nearly fell to my knees! I cried that entire rest of the day! I could relate to Amy in so many ways (the substance abuse/alcoholism and mental health issues) and I also had a similar relationship with a guy around the same time she was with Blake. We're also both Virgos, the same age (I'm 10 days older than her). I instantly felt a connection to her the moment I heard her music and she will always be a legend and a Queen! R.I.P. Amy!
good for her
geniunely appreciate this video and i'm curious how it would have gone if they resolved this. and also, what could he have said to upset her so deeply???
I love how you close off this video and I whole-heartedly agree. At the end of the day, we lost two legends that could've created something amazing together or become each other's strength, though we'd never truly know. Rest in peace to both McQueen and Winehouse.
I'm here for this branch of discussion. I'd love to see more fashion feuds, because no one ever speaks on how vicious the industry of artistic beauty can be.
There are very few artists as raw genuine creative and unapologetic as both Lee and Amy were
Thankyou, Luke, what a great series idea! Looking forward to many more. 🖤🖤🖤
2 intensely interesting unique and talented individuals. I had no idea of their feud. Please continue this series!
Love this Fashion Feud content...definitely more please.
Fashion Feuds!!! What a great idea. Please make a series. Love all your videos. Keep up the excellent work ❤️❤️❤️
Winehouse was impulsive, and I think that spitting on that dress was pretty much that, in a crossed moment.
Since I deal with BPD brothers and sisters regularly I wouldn’t call it all ‘iconic’, but that’s just me.
People with those traits are one of the strongest out there, a psychologist once told me.
What do you mean by "people with those traits are one of the strongest"? :)
@@xtraterrestriiial-love that they can be incredibly resiliant
WE NEED MORE OF THESE ESSAYS!!!!!
I love when you do fashion history type videos, Luke! This one is especially appealing given my love for both Amy and Alexander.
First time seeing any of your videos. Awesome content. Subscribed.
This was so well done!! Can't wait for more episodes :)
love the both of them so so much. I still remember where I was when they died. it seems they were too alike in that they were both incredibly headstrong, and it's bittersweet to think that the very reasons they didn't get along would have allowed for them to be wonderful collaborators in another life. very interesting video.
I CLICKED SO FAST! I love Amy Winehouse!
This is such an amazing event recap
Loving this series so far, starting off with a BANG.
Great new series! Looking forward to more 💜
never heard about this... god i love your channel for this reason mainly. learning so much about fashion history. You are a gem
Iconic feud, thank for educating me
Great idea, I am very excited to see the next episodes! Thank you ❤️
Great video. I really enjoyed the presentation and editing. Thank you!
Good God the worlds that man created and the monumental emotions she inspired with her music. LOVE this series and can’t wait to hear more of these juicy fashion fables!
What a great start to this series..loved it & I really look forward to future stories ♥️from Australia
I loved this video! Also, I would love more fashion history videos as well!
Awesome video!!! This was so interesting.
Well done and informative video. One of your best works!
Can’t wait for the Tyra/Naomi episode of this!
So excited for this series 😍
Hey well done you!! excellent, accurate, researched , factual and sensitive reporting. Good for you! 💖💖 We need more of this. B xx
Fantastic series, I look forward to many more please! Thank-you! *Luke voice*
Can we get a Feud on Tom ford and YSL ????
That would be so interesting. Love you!!
Love it! Keep it up!
I read Gods and Kings (recommend HEAVILY) and it’s a true depiction of just how complex people are. Capable of both extreme good and unspeakable horrors. Creating beautiful work but also a source of mass destruction. I have a deep appreciation of Luke because he didn’t shy away from the character of these two individuals whilst being compassionate and respectful of what brought them to that point.
This was a cute video. I have heard you talk a lot about Alexander McQueen but knew nothing about him or his backstory. Loved learning some fashion history with some celeb drama mixed in. I would love to see more videos with some fashion history! Reaction videos to some iconic/older runway collections would also be so fun! RIP Amy and Alexander
This is a great video. Would love to see more of these!
Never have I heard anyone say “see you next Thursday” but rather a “see you next Tuesday” 😂 is that the American version? Honestly made me chuckle but also sit back and think “well why is it Tuesday which is what brits say and not a Thursday? Both begin with a T and yet Thursday is never even given a thought about?!?” 😂❤ Fabulous video by the way!!! And RIP to the ICONIC Amy ❤❤❤❤
I totally agree re the See You Next Thursday haha! I can only think that we use Tuesday because it uses a hard T sound rather than the softer ‘thh’ sound of Thursday? But maybe I’m talking crap…
@@Jlonotfromtheblock Omg yesss!! I think you’ve definitely hit the nail on the head there!! It HAS to be because it’s a hard T rather than a ‘Thh’ sound. Genius!! I’d never of thought about it that way until you said! Thank you sm for answering that haha. 😁
As an American, we say "see you next Tuesday". Sometimes expressions are fumbled or reinterpreted, no matter where you're from, lol
Two of my favorite artists
....great content! Thank you for your brilliant insight and thorough delivery in this video.
Another great video! Looking forward to the next one!
I'm so excited for this new series!!
Roenetts? No baby. The "Ronettes." Like Ron+Et
Excellent attention to detail. You made me really care about the subject matter.
Loved this format!
I love when you do fashion history videos.
I love your fashion react videos but I really like this change of fashion history
this was a great video! we definitely need more pls & thank uuuu :)
This is a great idea for a series!
I broke down when she passed away. And I would never miss one of your videos. Ttyl ✌🏽
I heard that Tim Gunn is forever banned from the met gala because he had a problem with Anna Wintour 🤔
Sometimes I think... this woman would have made even more BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. 😌 out of all these "celebrities" and "artists" she was different. Real, authentic, relatable, talented, an angel. Poor girl just need some help. I don't think her rapid growth in popularity helped her.
”Ron-Etts” and “Sub-U-Tex”…otherwise amazing video. Love this clash of titans. Both gone too soon.
When I think of this kind of cross pop cultural fashion drama, I think of Karl Lagerfeld. It seems like he crossed swords with everyone, and hutch might just be a consequence of his being on the scene for as long as he was-it was bound to happen, sooner or later. He was also inspired/attracted to some troubled/temperamental pop stars; I bet there are some stories there if people have shared them.
Also, anyone who got close to Grace Jones probably has stories; Interview magazine from the 1980s and 1990s is a great resource (plus they’re fun to collect. I think there might be an online archive too, but those large format magazines are just so cool):
She’s amazing, and she doesn’t pull punches.
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! MORE FASHION DEEP DIVES PLEASE!
Amy felt hurt and betrayed by someone she felt should have had her misfit back. To have sent her an item especially one as considerate of her style as the black tulle overlay bubble hem dress in the second collection mentioned, without in-person apology would feel like another slap in the face. Kind of like "Oh, so you do get me, we are the same, yet you used me to temporarily level yourself with the elitists responsible for our pain? And now that my fame is profitable for you, you wish to apologize with like a cheating husband trying to halt divorce papers by sending lavish gifts? Go eff your couture and probably fake diamonds, come crawl at my dramatic feet if you're at all sorry for the humiliation that you caused.".
Amy was a real one. Unhinged, dramatic, self-indulgent of her pain. But, you goddamn know that tardy Naomi huffed out of that fashion show with as many pieces as she could stuff in her assistant's bag. And sold/gifted them to the likes of Ghislane Maxwell or a Saudi Princess for real blood diamonds she could squirrel away in her take no prisoners bespoke by Satan, heart shaped purse.
Jesus
@@JazzFlop212 the last paragraph was a cry for mental reassessment was onboard until that
I like it. If fashion designers can be overly dramatic for the sake of art, so can we.
@@espeon871 Christ "mental reassessment" it's a small paragraph of someone expressing their feelings nothing to say such a thing over
@@espeon871 you have to give it a visual imagining. Naomi backstage, tardy as usual, denied despite her godliness. (Have you not heard of her physical antics upon subordinates?)
She, by her own justification, makes the most out of every situation because everyone is making the most money off of her. I'm not speaking out of turn, I'm speaking out of possession by the spirit of the goddess herself.
It's not madness or a sign of need for medical intervention, it's empathy. Just because you don't get the cultural reference doesn't make it crazy.
The feud between Azzedine Alaïa and American Vogue / Anna Wintour please.
I LOVE your background! 😍😍😍
The fact that he planned to commit suicide during one of his shows always has stuck with me :( the poor suffering artist.
Your mispronounciation of subutex was cute 🖤🖤🖤 what a g, a true friend
Love the video!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
loveee a bit of fashion history
Love your compassion for talented people.
I just randomly thought about this and was like what!? Did that happen thank you for the refresher
Love them both! You too Luke. Always insightful:)
Marc Jacobs and his "tiff" with the Cobains could be an interesting topic.
What a fun series! MOAR
Great story. To iconic tragic souls.
we love history
