ALEXANDER MCQUEEN DID WHAT TO MODELS?!? (explaining one of the creepiest fashion shows ever)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2019
- When it comes to scary and creepy fashion, Alexander McQueen usually takes the cake, and his A/W1998 collection, titled "Joan" is definitely weird. The collection was based on the French catholic martyr, Joan of Arc, who was famed for crossdressing in the 1400s. He utilized his impeccable tailoring skills, alongside his taste for blood, gore, and murder. If there's a collection that's gonna creep you out this Halloween, it's definitely McQueen's Joan.

I LOVE McQueen because he seemed to genuinely love women and I get the sense that he understood our world; how we are used and abused, how strong and capable we are yet so vulnerable and emotional, and he deeply wanted to provide for us something that not many bothered with.
ive seen a quote attributed to him that said that he saw his mother abused by his father and it made him want to design clothes for women that would protect them and make them seem dangerous or smthn like that idk it's been a while since ive read it and idk if it's even true but it's a nice thought
@@codysmith3853 close, when he was a kid he saw his sister attacked by her then husband
These comments make me like him even more
tea sis
@@mizzick9273 this brother in law also abused him I think. That's what he told a close friend but never mentioned it again as I recall.
"Luke fangirling over Alexander McQueen for 21 minutes straight"
Lena well, anyone would. He was a uniquely talented artist, designer and innovator and his collections left a tremendous legacy in fashion. I am still heartbroken about his passing.
@@MFUA-cam683 You seem to be rather missing the point of the comment though? It's meant to poke light fun at Luke, not say that he's somehow unique in his admiration for McQueen.
@@Limaien I didn't mean to come off as hostile, it was meant as an observation, not a criticism. I really like this video, because he had wonderful information about Lee that a lot of reading / research and passion went into. I can relate was all I meant to say.
we stan the stanning lol
Lena a mood
If Luke was my history teacher I would actually enjoy the subject 😂
I loved his explanation of Joan's history
So so funny!!!
He IS our teacher. We are his student he is giving us Proper education that I am 100% here for
Comp pyew yuh
Hell ya
East Fun in my history class they never went over joan of arcs story, i had heard of her thanks to new age stuff but never really did my own research. this video is my first time learning who she was and what she did
If Zendaya had showed up to the 2018 Met Gala in an custom Alexander McQueen Joan of Arc look instead of Versace she would have been best dressed next to RiRi, sorry these are the facts
karasorelsucks facts
That is a fact
Luke said before that Anna decide what designer you working with. Celebrities don't chose that.
Re evaluate your stupid life
@@Sigita989 well that sucks
Im starting a petition to get Luke on Drunk History.
OMG YES!
Awesome
Alexis // yes please!
I’ll sign that!

This was a blast from the past! I worked at Lee’s studio at the time, my job during this fashion show was to stand backstage just off the runway and help the models get off the runway and backstage...the contacts made it almost impossible for them to see once they exited the lights front of house. It was a hectic time in my life, but Lee was really a lovely guy. One of the few in the industry at the time who treated people ‘normally’. Thank you for the memories.
And he looks normal too, but which is different
@@luckylaura12 yes looked very regular!
@@sosa5889 McQueen is perplexing in the best way
you could talk about Vivienne Westwood's Pirate collection and talk about how it inspired the New Romantics sub culture movement
My real name's Jeanne and I live in Compiègne. Hearing him trying to pronounce those french name, especially Compiègne, was funny af
Cool...I’m Canadian I know French....but not that French. Lol
Pink Panther 420 companyeeyee
i read this as "copenhagen", rip.
Ailin H me too
I study french, I almost died of laughter
I'm French and I love how everytime you try to speak french correctly even when it's clearly not working out. Love this kind of videos when you explain in details the though behind a designer's collection.
EveSeLaRaconte 💀💀💀💀
🙄
i love how much this channel has grown. watching luke’s old videos and then watching the new ones show so much growth and improvement i love it
His quality has barely improved
@@rust44 I mean the semi good editing quality is iconic
He was a gay
She was a virgin
Can I make it any more obvious?
Less
you're such a help
Totally a white president AHHHHHHHHh
i didn’t understand
S8r boi
I replayed componYeeYee sooo many times.
PeculiarDoll me too 😂 I was cracking up
As a french, I DIED.
euuu kkakjkakaj
I’m from Compiègne and i suffered...
Can I just say this is Luke's best video ever. The background, the explanation, the delivery, everything...
Keep up with your great work Luke👍
maxie ti even tu fun bits were on point.
Yes!
Luke: capitalizes Saville Row but not london
14:27 IT LITERALLY TELLS YOU HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT!! LOL Luke you crack me up it sounded like you were trying to speak Mandarin.
When I read the pronunciation I was thinking WTF?! Am I understanding this wrong or something because that does not at all look like the same thing. Good for a laugh though.
Part of the Victorian silhouette was created by setting sleeves further back on garments to enforce good posture which might be what the uncomfortable dress is referencing
You are giving us what we need: an intelligent Analysis that respects the integrity of an artist. We could not find these full shows and fully assess the historical significance. HauteLeMode provides the receipts.
FASHION HISTORIAN LUKE IS BACK 👏🏿👏🏿
I'll forever be grateful to Lady Gaga, thanks to her I discovered McQueen and fashion in general.
When I saw Alexander McQueen history in the title I clicked at the speed of *light*
I've been dying for you to talk about Alexander Mcqueen
First of all sis, you look STUNNING!! 😍
thanks doll!!!
McQueen's 2007 show based on religious persecution and the Salem Witch Trials wasn't too far from this one. Happens to be one of my all time favorite runway shows in the history of fashion shows. Unfortunately you can't watch it anywhere with the original soundtrack and SFX which was much more foreboding than what's online now, guess there was some copyright issues. But I definitely remember that being a point where a lot of people were saying he was a devil worshipper thanks to that massive blood-colored pentagram on the circular floor that the models traced as a runway (that was so hardcore, love it).
Same it’s one of my faves and I fortunately got one of the looks. There is a couple of videos on UA-cam with the official soundtrack! If you are interested I can send you a link?
@@user-jj7lh3qh5q send please :o
Dang i really loved the historical parts , it was a very interesting video
McQueen is a true alchemist with fashion despite his personal demons...the kiss at the end of the runway symbolizing the combination of masculine and feminine energies was sublime 🖤 keep this series going. RIP Joan and RIP Alexander 😢 thank you.
"If Joan would have seen this, she would have spit on it" I cackled.
“I’m sure you would do badly on a Joan of Arc trivia”
*laughs in french*
laughs in Catholic
Okayyy I love the backstory but I think you’ll find it was the _English_ that were at war with the french. The name ‘Britain’ was only used officially after 1474, but modern day Great Britain refers to the island that consists of England, Scotland, and Wales. 👍🏻
Absolutely love when u do McQueen reviews🖤
much more to come!!!!
HauteLeMode MORE? Luke, you are a blessful god
@@hautelemode GOD YES we love to see it
HauteLeMode Yes keep ‘em coming!
I can already tell that I'm going to love this series!
Yassss! Thank you for this future monthly series and THANK YOU for this video.
Definitely here for this series!!! Can't wait to see more!!!
So happy to see you post something more educational like what you did before. Keep it up!
can I nominate maison margiela fall 2015 ready to wear for the next episode of this series? I feel like with the makeup and the attitude of the models really makes the show iconic and very on brand for Galliano
I looooooove your fashion history/fashion explanation videos that dive into past collections or designers. Please keep doing them!!!!!
I love these types of videos, it's so fun to hear about the historical inspiration to the looks.
This was probably one of your best video. I can't wait for this to become a series ❤
Joan of Arc and the Romanov sisters are all martyrs. So when you know that, the inclusion of the Romanovs in print makes a lot more sense. Also the use of this red, the color of martyrs. I like the use of the Romanovs, too, as it shows that not much has changed when it comes to the brutality against women, and how they are celebrated and worshiped only after death.
I can’t get over this video and what you’re doing on UA-cam in general. Thank you so much for this channel love your passion for fashion
Do more of these! When I first found your channel I had binged these fashion history videos of yours and I can listen to you lecture me for hours.
This collection is such an ode to one of the national stories that seems so natural to us, that we don't really fathom the weight or connect to it. This collection really contextualises the themes and reveals the gravity of it all. Thanks for the review! It keeps the legend alive.
luke needs to be a fashion history teacher. i'd take that class in a heartbeat
yes i love these kind of vids that go deeper into fashion! ofc i loooove your reviews but i love educating myself on fashion, its history, intricacies and fashion shows, obvsly! this vid was so interesting thank you for feeding us knowledge 🤩🥺
I loooooove how much you’re covering on Mcqueens shows it’s so informative, fun, and overall amazing!!! Thank you!
That's why i love this channel, culture is what i come to see here, keep doing those things
that collection was so so good.Thx For educating the kids on this iconic Designer.I love your thorough history lessons on fashion, as a fellow history nerd i live for that. Also as a french, i dying listening to you trying to say compiègne i love your efforts tho lol
You should do more of these ! I love learning about the inspiration behind iconic shows
You did an amazing job on this!! I really look forward to the rest of the series!
The Compiègne bit has me in tears
One of my favorite fashion shows ever PERIOT
YESSS THIS SERIES NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS LIKE THIS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
I love the idea of making this a series! Dior Spring haute couture 1998 is one I’d love to see, one of my favorite collections ever✨
I would love a review on Dior 2003 Haute Couture or Versace SS '08.
WE NEED MORE HISTORY LESSONS LIKE THIS IN HAUTE LE MODE!!! 😍😍🤩🤩
I was Not expecting a complete history lesson in a fashion video. This was the most delightful surprise I've had in awhile! This is way better work than I was prepared for and I'm so here for it! Thank you!
This video blew me away! Love the history education and analysis of the collection. Can't wait for more!
Also Jean d’Arc is closer to soft “John” and “dark”
plz talk about the show where a robot was splashing paint on a model
I love how I am learning world history while learning about fashion!! And the way you explain history is my favorite way to learn!!
I'm getting quite informed watching you. You are a great teacher and clarifying. I'm impressed! Thank you!!
Luke posts a video
Me clicks immediately
Me: I am speed
I liked this video just because of the "Compiègne" part lol
I LOVE this!!!! The historical spirituality incorporated with this ART, are two of my favorite things being a human❣️Thank you💋
More iconic shows please. We love this!
"JOANH DEARCK" i spilled my drink xD
Listening to you trying to say that French word had me rolling 😂
Thank you for going back to doing these type of videos! I love them!
I REALLY enjoyed this video!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the time and energy it took to make it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from a longtime fashion enthusiast who once wanted to be a designer but now lives in the country happily wearing jeans and tshirts and paints paintings instead...but has never lost the love of fashion.
Vivienne Westwood is exactly the same, the fashion can be a protest, and show a story
hearing you tell the story of joan of arc is so freaking cute you’re adorable, like legally blonde or something
Im so glad I came upon your channel! Cant wait to see all these deep dives into these iconic shows!
This video was so well put together and interesting, so happy you’re making this a series!!
Since the death of McQueen, fashion has not really had any shows as iconic and daring as his. This was definitely one of my favorite shows/collections among many of his works.
Your glow up is out of this world
I LOVE watching you talk about iconic shows I need more
Very well done! 😎👍 You tied in both historical and fashion facts perfectly!
The excess fabric around the bust of the dress at 11:00 reminds me a lot of the 'pigeon breast' cut of some dresses in the Victorian era. Just a stray thought.
oooooooooh gonna look this up!!
@@hautelemode It's worth also looking at the undergarments that went with them to create the effect!!
Such an amazing show, I'm lucky enough to have a dress from the joan runway
Love when u do mcqueen reviews 🖤
omg which ONE!?!?!!?
@@hautelemode its the high neck grey with the buttons all the way down the back very long the tailoring is just insane, its shown in the runway directly after the mens long grey blazer jacket (early on around 3 min30) crazy getting it in the mail and seeing how tall the model would have actually been
@@hautelemode its shown in ur video at 10:50 x
great video ! very much enjoyed your take on history and fashion history will watch again
this kind of vid is SO UR STRONG SUIT
I ♡ McQueen! I actually think McQueen is what got me excited about, and interested in fashion in the first place. All of the small details that equal the sum of the entire collection just gets to me in a way that most others don't. I've always been interested in more dark, morbid and macabre type things, so that could be another reason why I gravitate towards McQueen. I just think McQueen is very smart in how the collections are created and shown. I see art, design, architecture, storytelling, talent......
This run way show introduced me and made me obsessed with Alexander McQueen.
ALL YOUR FASHION HISTORY CONTENT VIDEOS ARE THE BEST PLEASE KEEP DOING MORE YOURE THE BEST
Possibly one of my fav videos of yours, v engaging/interesting. Def keep this series going !!
About the quilted pieces: nations such as the Aztecs actually used quilted construction in their layered fabric armor which proved very effective against arrows and Spanish swords. Could the use of quilted fabric have been an intentional sort of multicultural nod to other forms of armor (also tying in to the context of fighting another nation)?
I'm kind old fashioned and just like what I like..quilted fabric has been something I liked to wear since I was a child
I grew up in oregon and the winters were cold and lots of snow...quilted material kept me really warm and it was not heavy. It wasn't itchy like wool could be and it wasn't heavy like most warm coats could be.
As an adult i have a quilted robe and a quilted jacket that I wear a lot when it gets cold and it makes me feel like I did as a child..and I'm forty years old.
It's strange how certain cuts and certain fabrics can make you feel a certain way.
Hi. Common soldiers at the time of Joan of Arc wore something called a 'Jack of Plates', which was a quilted jacket with small pieces of iron sewn between the layers, they don't survive as often as the more usual plate armour as the fabric decays.
Lee is literally one of my favorite people to have ever existed, I just love that man so damn much.
Thank you so much for doing this onmy favorite designer of all time! If you did this for all of his key collections that would be amazing
So interesting! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your passion and teach everyone. So inspired right now
Yohji Yamamoto's bridal collection would be a great subject for a future video
"Hey Chuck, what's up??" Excellent!
Love this! Hope there will be a bunch of videos like this in the future.
I remember this well and was in Paris then (and am much older than you). Your passion is truly inspirational, as is your thoughtful love & knowledge of fashion. Keep it up and keep following your heart. Great job! xx
I’d love for you to be my history teacher
my type of history lesson
What an astonishing collection ❤️He is heavily missed 😭 Love these series! FABULOUS video 👌❤️ You can always become a history teacher, your history lesson was so fun 😂❤️
i loved this type of video so much!!!! i enjoyed how overly analytical you are, how how put in the time to read and reaserch and deliver so well!! lit rally obsessed wit dis luv xoxoxox
COMPENYEEYEE HAHHA i freakin love this series!!!!
Could you look at yohji yamamoto bride collection ss 1999, even though its one of his more well known shows its still under appreciated.
I know little about fashion but find you so funny and you can tell you put a lot of research into your work. Loved this look at McQueen!
SO excited for this series!
