Not only are these clothes ugly, but they look almost impossible to wear. The models kicking the excess fabric away at each step just to get across the room often look miserably uncomfortable.
I believe 'Haute Couture' doesn't recognise form over function, neither in most cases does it consider the human form and therefore personally I do not take it seriously, but also see the art within it. Has for high street 'high-end' fashion, well I do agree, that some designers do 'pump-out' some atrocities for those individuals who avidly follow them and would sell their own mother to purchase 'lets say'... a pair of 'exaggerated' oversized pair boots, designed to look 6 times the actual size of their feet and completely throw off the entire proportions of the human form. But hey!.. too much money and the inability to do the math that they look ridco!.
@@Luke-go3eythere is actually alot of artistry gone into making all these garments shapes and form and textures. Please dont comment if you dont know the processes prevalent in the collection
Couldn’t agree with you more! Unfortunately you didn’t mention the faux fur coats. I thought ok, crazy blue fur coat... boring... But then I learnt it took 13’000 hours to make it, handpicking and arranging millions of acrilyc hairs and the sewing them all onto the silk organza, and then dying each piece, and then cutting that “fur” for 40 hours to make it look all wild. It blew my mind! That’s real couture! But when you see it for the first time it looks like cheap ugly fur coat... And only when you learn how much time and effort it takes to make such a piece you think ok wow. And that’s a problem for me with this show. Shouldn’t it make you say WOW the moment you see it? And not later when you make yourself like it in a way because you respect all the work done by couture people... You know?
Ooh this is a VERY good point. When he showed the hand painting for the shirts I was in awe because that takes time and skill, but that coat you mentioned I would've never even given it a second thought if you hadn't explained its structure. It does make it all haute couture but it doesn't make it anymore exciting or inviting to be in or look at.
Not just wow, but also, that *looks* like it was laborious to make, or so precise that it could not be gotten anywhere else. If the end result is that it looks cheap and unremarkable, who is to really care if the technique was insane? Still looks like it cost $40 at a thrift store.
That sounds a lot like how high end human hair wigs are made. Or those hyper realistic human figures, they now sometimes use in museums and exhibitions. Those are seriously impressive. You just cannot tell, you're not looking at actual human skin with hair sprouting from it, even from up close.
For me, the whole thing reads misery, masochism, self-importance and disdain, like Demna hates humans . The models echo that - faces obscured, trudging, lumbering, toiling under the weight of all that...stuff.
There was nothing even slightly joyful about this collection beside the butterfly masks and even those felt tacked on. I really do like the t-shirts and oversized jackets but we've seen those a million times with Balenciaga. Idk, I guess they're trying to recover from the scandal but idk how this is helping.
I don't know what type of casual clientele who can wear these as "real clothing"? It doesn't look like you can really move or do anything in some of these pieces without them falling, getting in the way or getting caught on things.
To be fair, he worked with Demna to create that look. It's just awkward now that they've ended their partnership and yet Balenciaga continues to put out the same designs.
Demna attempted to make child SA fashionable. While there was slight pearl-clutching from the fashionable set, all was forgiven in a flash. Shameful. Demna is repulsive. He allowed the world to see what he is really made of. That he still has an international platform shows the degree of corruption in the fashion world and beyond. Balenciaga should have fired Demna years ago. Pro-tip: it's never too late, but the clock is ticking.
Exactly. It’s like I see and hear more folks wear Balenciaga this past year than ever before. I don’t understand how that wasn’t a bigger issue and how quickly everyone who has a platform seemed to forget 😢
Balenciaga has seemed so one note recently, feels like demna can only manage shock-value outfits and the more of them we all see the less impact that has. Like a few years down the line and most of what he's made will be forgotten edit: I made this comment before watching the vid, luke and me are clearly on the same page with the one note comment 😂 also, the point of haute couture is that it's handmade for the person with fittings- if it's selling online it's ready to wear/made to measure
Hi, Luke. Big fan of your channel! In regards to hand painting on clothes: most clothes with graphics are screen printed or use DTG. It's extremely rare to see hand painted clothes, much less in a mass production setting; it's labour intensive and prone to human errors (images looking off). I could, therefore, see why hand painted clothing would be considered haute couture. The clothes Balanciaga painted on this season were very plain, however 😅
I don't agree, because they made it to look like cheap printed stuff. If it's handpainted, it's supposed to blow you away and be superbly unique. Otherwise, what's the point???
Marc Jacobs is at Walmart. It's over, kids. I'm an elder who grew up with the 90s supermodels and still looks like one. Just wear it well and you'll be fine.
Suddenly it all starts to make sense when you mention Peter Copping has left. Him working with Demna created a nice balance between weird ideas and true craftsmanship. No wonder this season feels like a total chaos.
I went to a exhibition of original Cristobal balenciaga garments in den haag some time ago and was completely blown away by the dresses. Still modern, impeccable, gorgeous. Additionally I am a trained dressmaker with pattern making being my favorite part of the job. That exhibition was heaven. There isn’t much left of that vibe and it is sad.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is why we love you so much!!! This is by far the most honest unbiased review, unlike any so-called 'influencers' you are not afraid to show criticism & honesty
Didn’t we see some of these looks on Project Runway challenges? Non traditional fabrics challenge? Denise challenge? Puffer jackets?Belts? Whatever happened to true creativity and art in fashion? This was not it.
the collection is just boring. Its not haute couture just because demna says so, this is ragebait street fashion. We've had enough of demna, he just isn't that good of a designer and is just ruining balenciaga and their image. I won't forget their campaign with children, that should've been the last straw. He's trying to make balenciaga his own brand, not Cristobal Balenciaga's idea and brand. He's trying to erase the artistic history of balenciaga and its working, because most people know balenciaga for trashy overpriced streetwear, not for being an iconic couture house.
Idk how to describe a collection that looks like it’s trying to be “what a layman pictured when you tell him runway fashion” but this pretty much sums it up to me
I own a hand silk screened skirt by Laura Kim that she made for me as payment for wearing her Pratt school design. Does that mean I have haute couture too! Yeah me! This was a farce.
If someone told me that 30mins before the show Demna decided to make a finale look to poke fun at Comme Des Garçons and Gareth Pugh and came up with that hot mess I'd believe them
It's haute streetwear. I personally loathe streetwear so most of his collections will never be for me, but I do appreciate his willingness to experiment with materials and manufacturing techniques. Still don't like this collection, do not like Demna's overall vision for the band, and how derivative most of his best looks are of other designers. He's radical for the sake of being radical.
This collection reminds me of the bridal shower game where the guests are split into teams and they have to create a wedding dress out of toilet paper. I appreciate the idea of clothing being art. But I didn't see anything that I could call art. The hats were hideous. Draped tee shirts as hats are the teenage tendency to drop the clothes where ever when they are done wearing it. But for as much as I really disliked this collection, I enjoy the variety of designers work that you bring. Seeing the good, the bad and the fabulous is a good time.
Thanks for your commentary. At this point, I can only mourn the skill and craftsmanship that once was haute couture at Balenciaga. It just feels like gimmick, rather than innovation to me.
I live for Flack-throwing form!!!! 4:31 and 14:27 with the Luke’s Bespoke Demna at Balenciaga inspired no seams couture. I’ll have my SA come pick one up for this winter season Ty 😂
weird that you can't even unabashedly criticise balenciaga without qualifying it with "i see what he was trying to do here" as if demna is one of the greatest designers to ever live, it's a brand that thrives off marketing and subversive pieces that are extremely wearable so they appeal to every type of instagram influencer as well as people who think wearing a $700 under armour hoodie is a smart way of making fun of fashion when in reality they've only ridiculed themselves by actually paying that much for cheap made in china junk
I agree with your review. I miss Balenciaga when Nicholas Ghesquiere was the creative director. He kept in mind the many contributions Cristobal made and like him pushing fashion forward. I think eventually Ghesquiere would’ve done Haute Couture since he was doing Balenciaga Premiere for celebrities. I think Ricardo Tisci, Gareth Puth would be great designers for Balenciaga. Even Phoebe Philo, if she didn’t have her own label now.
I hate to just agree but I agree with your review. Obviously, I hate doing so but I just don't see what's new, innovative, or creative about this messy pile of same old stuff. 👍
The jackets with the wrap around panel are the only good piece in the collection. I liked the denim one best. However, it doesn't feel like haute couture. It feels like it belongs in readymade. No special construction techniques or materials are required
The fabric choices of this collection is exposing the fact you paying for strictly construction techniques which is still highly elaborate but haute couture fabrics selection must match.
I am happy because I wouldn't need to lose an ounce of weight for most of this crap because you can't see the body underneath. Yay! (Ghastly, absolutely ghastly).
Demna's Balenciaga is very hit and miss for me. The pieces I love I'll likely love for a long time because they're unique and unusual, but the pieces I don't care about are extremely forgettable. I'm no fashionista and haute couture isn't even relevant to my life. I do love my Balenciaga shoes and my Balenciaga Crush Tote purse though.
Luke could have started the vid with "this is dumb, this is stupid, and it doesn't actually say anything" and it would have been correct for the entire collection.
They lost their director of couture to Lanvin, so who else is to say no to Demna? Maybe the next collection will be more thoughtful considering the major bad press they are receiving from this one.
I had no idea that Balenciaga was still in business. I thought their inappropriate and predatory scandal they'd throw in the towel....after seeing this collection, pehaps they should have.
I feel they have continued to get celeb cred. However, some of this reminds me of 1990s JNCO. So, not couture. Can I say this is so confusing for a high end house?
u continuously supporting and promoting a pdfile brand while boycotting dolce for discrimination will never make sense for me. like u obviously can boycott for your principles as shown with dolce but ur actively choose not to for pdfiles is wilddddd like child predation in fashion is ok???? based on ur actions and principles?????
Luke. I enjoy your takes so much. If you havent seen it yet, please check out the MLB All Star game red carpet. I did not know they were doing that becaose I never watch the pregame. I was peeing laughing. It's nearly just all hot men in suits which yawn, but its so dumb, I loved it. I am an avid baseball fan but didnt know this was a thing. They were very successful at selling me on the pregame show because now I'm gojng to have to watch the corny red carpet every year.
look 25 was my favorite it did feel like the sari styles of Balenciaga but with a Demna twist. The rest was rehash ad nauseam and yes a 1 seam dress takes into account the weave, the material content, the volume desired etc and a sprayed on dress takes into account how long you can hold the spray gun.
One aspect that annoys me about haute couture is that many designers/houses have forgotten that it is actually possible to make wearable, comfortable haute couture. A good designer (/engineer) would be able to achieve this. Haute couture is all about custom clothing. That means clothing made for the wearer. Uncomfortable clothing does not a statement make! I think younger consumers have moved on from “suffering for fashion” and houses that don’t consider actual wearability are stuck in the past.
We don't understand the ready-to-wear look with a pant/short/bikini as if you've awoken in your worst nightmare of leaving the house partly undressed. Please share your thoughts sometime on this phenomenon?? Where would the customer be going? Example: MM6 Fall Winter

No more Balenciaga, we have evolved past the need for Balenciaga
Not this one, anyhow!
What we need is "real" Balenciaga !
No we need Balenciaga we just don’t need Demna

How do models a) keep a straight face b) turn red from embarrassment c) walk

My mom used that threat about throwing all my stuff in the trash too, and it looked like that dress.
I just hate Balenciaga in recent years. It all feels like ragebait and "whatever can we sucker people into buying now?"
For me, the whole thing reads misery, masochism, self-importance and disdain, like Demna hates humans . The models echo that - faces obscured, trudging, lumbering, toiling under the weight of all that...stuff.
Over the decades, I have decided that most haute couture is designed by misogynists.
exactly

And take videos
"Lazy Margiela looks.." EXACTLY!

Run for your life! The movie, "When clothes Attack!" Oh, the horror!
I don't know what type of casual clientele who can wear these as "real clothing"? It doesn't look like you can really move or do anything in some of these pieces without them falling, getting in the way or getting caught on things.
Luke you cracked me up!😂😂 I love you sitting there wrapped in sheets!
I preferred his version, tbh
But am I the only one that noticed he needs to wash his bedding? I feel like those stains are a little to telling…🫢
Scuba satin is just neoprene …
a lot like "vegan leather" or "luxury vinyl". Ain't no such thing in either case.
The oversized jackets and pants reminds me of Kanye West design, lol.
To be fair, he worked with Demna to create that look. It's just awkward now that they've ended their partnership and yet Balenciaga continues to put out the same designs.
I hate everything about this collection, petition to remove Demna 🤢 Coming here for your sassy humour and that's it! 😂
That dress made of jackets lumped together looks like a Drag Race sewing challenge 😂
The sponge dress was better couture than this.

I think younger consumers have moved on from “suffering for fashion” and houses that don’t consider actual wearability are stuck in the past.
Luke... If you don't do the BET Awards??!! It was very interesting to say the least! 😂
Your amazing look was a showstopper!
We don't understand the ready-to-wear look with a pant/short/bikini as if you've awoken in your worst nightmare of leaving the house partly undressed. Please share your thoughts sometime on this phenomenon?? Where would the customer be going? Example: MM6 Fall Winter
