I'm looking forward to you talking about The Row. I really only know it as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand. I remember ppl described the Olsen twins' style as being that of an old lady from NYC/Manhattan.

I found this video very insightful and informative. You are absolutely right: brands want to make money and they find all the times ways to make money. I would rather call dressing in classic pieces rather than quiet luxury and that is what I have done always which suits me of course and my budget. I would think given the emphasis on saving the environment that young people would embrace buying fewer and better quality pieces rather than a lot of clothes from fast fashion. I hope you will continue producing more videos. I found your views refreshing as well as insightful

Man, I’m 30 now and naturally into my “quiet luxury” era. But because. I can afford quality and I’m not such a fantasy girl anymore, I want things that I will most likely love in 5 years time. I’m so happy my youth, my 20s were filled with whacky style, exploring, crazy, colour filled wardrobes (even if the colour was so BAD on me). Please Gen Z - explore the fun and freedom of being young. 30 is still young, yes I am, but it’s not 18,20,25 young.

Rick Owens is quiet luxury in terms of how under-the-radar it is and for people in-the-know about it, but it’s actually more avant-garde and brutalist.

There is also one brand that deserves mention: Ralph Lauren. He basically single-handedly created the prep style and the "rich people on vacation" fashion. Before that rich people wore whatever they wanted, and mostly had it tailored. RL created this illusion that this is what rich people wear.

So glad I found your channel 😊 I enjoyed your fresh take on a topic that seems to be analyzed to death. I’ve always subscribed to the idea of spending money on classic, high quality pieces. They’ve lasted for many years and are always stylish. Even the more trendy pieces used to be a lot better made. I’ve kept some of my clothes from the 90s so long that they’re back in style! 😂 (Re: Harper’s Bazaar - “Bazaar” rhymes with “afar.” )

Damn your good, I have always dressed to make my small frame look " normal" the only look that worked was clean, polished & perfectly fitted clothing with some sort of punch to make it seem uncalculated and cool. But I have wlways had a budget, its just good taste executed. Quiet Luxury that is.

After Punk/Grunge when I started into a career in the 90s I was a huge fan of CBK - since then I invested in those brands. I was able to invest in timeless classics and some extravagant pieces and keep them pristine... My wardrobe now is exactly what currently everyone is promoting: Hermes, Bottega Veneta, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli, The Row, Kaithe, Max Mara, Cos, Joseph... I love every little piece and hardly buy anything since 8yrs... but it took me about 20yrs to get everything together and only buy new, when something is worn out - but I do really care for my items, washing by hand, keeping stuff clean, polishing regularly, using invisible mending, cobbler bf starting to wear a shoe, use aftercare service etc... Btw: love your voice!

@blancc. Ай бұрын

I’m a huge fan of CBK too as someone in their 20s in this era. There’s so much functionality and a lack of pretence in her way of dressing which immediately appeals to us as young working women. I find it interesting that even back then her popularity came after a hefty and intense sort of trend i.e 90s punk/grunge, and for us 2010s logomania; pulling back and stripping down to basics help rid the excess and loudness of it all. My closet is also filled with those brands or something similar, and there’s nothing wrong with buying what’s currently popular so long as they’re cherished and made to last which it seems like you are doing. P.S. Thank you and thanks for watching ❤️

Well yeah. You gotta think about how these kids grew up - they played inside the office, surrounded by people in suits and ‘the help’, they essentially dress like office workers. Pierces house and outfits are testament to that, because they dress in leisurely, if not old-fashioned, clothes and their couches look grandma in the highest degree, and Roys dress like a mannequin inside a Barneys and live inside a cb2 showroom. Its not any worse or better, it’s just different.

Quiet luxury goes back to at least the 1950’s. The clothing was custom made by tailors and fashion houses (the buyers of haute couture were their clientele) Grace Kelly would be their type of client. Also look at the clothing that royals wore after WW2. Hermes, Ferragamo, Dior are some brands that marketed to these customers. Check out old issues of Town and Country magazine from the 1980’s. A lot of the pictorials and ads are quiet luxury as well

In the ninties I was 18 to 28. Back then we could not afford design clothing and there were almost no logo's. Sure we had the Ralph Lauren logo on shirts and years before the Calvin Klein t-shirts. Grunge style still ruled and House music and clubs came up here in Europe and Amsterdam were I live. Now quiet luxury was seen back then what the rich wore or older people or what I could see my mother wear. And we did not want that. Also not to wear same brands shoes and bags my mother would wear. Now the quiet luxury speaks to me in my 50's but not to be or show rich. Just to invest less items in better quality so can wear them longer. Invest in little more expensive better quality basic t-shirts. Not those cheap ones after 2 or 3 washes the fit is gone. And invest in a Cashmere jumper during the sale. The feeling of these is much more comfortable and so soft and the older I get the more comfortable I want to be. It has nothing to do for me to somehow look more rich. Now you see young people in their 20's and 30's wearing same outfits as women in their 40's, 50's and older.

@blancc. Ай бұрын

I see your point and thank you for your input, especially from the point of view of someone older who has seen a variety of trends come and go over the years and has taken time to cultivate a true sense of style. I completely agree with the original idea of what quiet luxury was meant to stand for: investing in quality pieces which are meant to last. My issue with it is seeing young people such as myself chasing after the look and excessively consuming a large amount of designer clothing or even fast fashion just to emulate the look of wealth. They fail to see or implement what quiet luxury stood for, and social media has definitely encouraged and perpetuated this sort of behaviour, which is ironic, as it is meant to be the opposite of overconsumption. I don’t think there’s a problem with people in their 20s and 30s dressing like those in their 40s and 50s as we should be able to dress however we like at whatever age, but to misunderstand what the movement is about, in my opinion, is misguided and unhealthy.

You know, there is war going on, which pollutes a hundred times more than all of high street. There are landfills full of masks from people trying to stop germs by covering their face with non degradable nylon. I wouldn't worry about it. Quiet luxury isnt about pretending to be wealthy. LUXURY doesnt mean youre wealthy. It just means you like luxurious things. The capsule wardrobe really isnt going to work for most people, because it's boring, and it's literally overthinking your clothing. No fashion or fashion time is good or bad.

What do you think about Victoria Beckham's brand? I think that for a lot of time it was overlooked because it was very "classy" for the post 2010's trends

@blancc. Ай бұрын

VB is an interesting one. Her designs are actually very clean, classic and minimal but sales have been suffering for years - David Beckham had to bail her out several times if I recall correctly. I think it could be due to the fact that the branding is too tied her name which makes it more a celebrity brand even when it genuinely has a unique design ethos. Could be that people find it too monotonous and boring, or that it doesn’t cater to a specific audience which ends up catering to no one. And because it’s more generic-looking than other brands like The Row and Khaite, the price-point doesn’t quite justify purchasing. Which is a shame as it has decent quality and is great for workwear and evening looks.

I'm roughly the same age as CBK. "Back then" her style was what we all wore (at least in large urban cities like SF and NYC) but her style, as I remember, wasn't considered anything particularly special. If you could not afford Prada & Hermes, which most of us could not afford in our early 20s, you bought Banana Republic and a Kate Spade bag, as I and my friends did. We didn't call it "'90s minimalism" or even "contemporary minimalism". It's just what we wore. And nothing CBK wore was considered iconic to us at the time, as it is, rightfully, now. She was just a beautiful girl married to JFK, Jr. and we were all super jealous . Just want to make that point...people were not so conscious of fashion trends in the moment in the same way we are now, thanks to social media. Otherwise, a flawless video and I loved EVERY moment of your intelligent breakdown of quiet luxury. Looking forward to more.

I strolled Paris second hand stores in the 90s until I found a Hermes Bag I could throw on my first three months wage in... and went on and on... and the brands did and still do a lot of repair and aftercare service of "inherited" pieces...

That’s not my memory at all. Her style was written up everywhere - all the vogues, VF, IHT. She was a style icon even before the wedding. I was so disappointed when I got to NYC for grad school, five years after her death, god rest her soul. Nothing like the excitement and fascination she provided could be seen. I love authentic streetwear, but I was also hoping to see how CBK’s look had evolved and been drawn on. I could see Carrie everywhere but not CBK. So sad.
