[@sharon4739]

People always complain about how these high fashion clothing are so expensive but fail to realize that they serve a different purpose to the fast fashion clothes that most people wear on a daily basis. These dresses are pieces of artwork assembled by some of the finest artists in the industry.

[@tylerthemasturbator6729]

Sharon it true but not all clothes....a normal plain T-shirt with a balmain logo on it is not artwork and still costs 314€

[@shaundavidson4748]

I agree these clothes are made by hand, and they put every bit of effort in, no matter how long it takes. Which is truly incredible, and they shouldn't be complaining at all.

[@michaelfordham9840]

​@@tylerthemasturbator6729 Dresses like this probably cos 100-1000 times that...315euros is not even close to this level that they're working at

[@rosebushh8179]

i somewhat agree a lot of these high fashion clothes are timeless and some just aren’t worth the money. but if it’s made right the clothes can be truly timeless. gossip girl is kind of example of this. even though it was made years ago a lot of the clothes are timeless. they are high fashion clothes. and people still love the clothes. it’s a great example of high fashion done right.

[@thelittlewolf7592]

[@ensemblemagazine7104]

I love that they mentioned sustainability. Fashion is definitely about being timeless not seasonal.

[@carmengrauwels]

My advice to be sustainable are 2 things. 1= only buy what you really (REALLY) LOVE not because you see it somewhere not cause of a trend etc.. and 2 = think twice before buying. Even if i shop for excample a coat that i need, want, love even if i shop in a vintage shop etc. Those are my personal criteria. Very simple to do. Of course there can be 1 or 2 things i recret after but that doesn't happen the last 2 à 3 years. And what i also do is if i got a little hole somewhere i take a needle and drade and i sow it back. Love conversations back and for

[@ensemblemagazine7104]

Carmen Grauwels I totally agree! Thank you for sharing. The importance of LOVE is what I’ve tried to share in my Declutter video. It’s so important to understand the value of fashion beyond immediate/current trends

[@trallesliantemius]

Ishani Dutta but what she makes is not timeless at all.

I find it quite interesting that many big fashion house designers always dress fairly simple themselves. All their crazy ideas are only in their heads and their art

[@bibikhadijehsamiezade-yazd7430]

As a Fashion Designer myself, this is very true. I feel like when I am constructing a piece with so much energy, I need to remain simple. It's about maintaining an energy-balance. I give everything I can to my garments, but I remain simple and minimalistic to myself.

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

@@bibikhadijehsamiezade-yazd7430 I do fashion design and I’m self taught but I only practice with fabrics that are cheap yet fairly decent quality and I often do just have a pair of shorts/leggings, a shirt or hoodie and sometimes a blanket if it’s cold.

[@elliottmazs]

I have always found the process of making high end clothes really interesting. The designer has an idea to draw it on paper but these exceptionally skilled workers are able to interpret their sketch and bring it to life and its so amazing to see the craft that goes into it each piece. the detail of it all and the artistry involved.

[@jacksong3085]

The people working in these fashion houses are so unappreciated. They really make the magic happen.

Buy a small sewing machine and creat your own story. It will be more intresting for you and for the ones around you

[@footyfan101ful]

I don't think I will ever own Dior!

[@mridula3475]

i love how they make these dresses and treat them as art, as a form of creative expression. it's sad that there r people who think of them as way to flaunt their money

[@MTMF.london]

Yes, they are a piece of art. But whether they want to flaunt their money or not, the price is set by the House of Dior (and it reflects the amount of time, artistry, craftsmanship and material involved - i.e., very very expensive) and they have to pay if they want to own/wear it.

[@noneya1238]

Who else is going to wear it? Normal people? Get real.

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

Ikr, I’ll admit that I do buy designer clothes and don’t really wear them much but I still don’t brag about the fact that I can afford it.

The stories behind the collections are more interesting than the actual collection. I wonder what the inspo behind the t shirts she makes. #gohome

Well, I think they need to sell those ridiculous expensive t shirt to stupid people, and continue to do things like this.

@Liza Richards they're saying She's a bad designer. Also shading that she makes 800 dollar white t-shirts

[@MTMF.london]

@@sergiovela7686 So the Dior t-shirts cost 800 dollars - other designers t-shirts as expensive too. No one is twisting anybody's arm to buy them!

[@inkumoon515]

@@MTMF.london yeah but she's adding these "meaningful" quotes and passes them off as this sort of profound intellectual form of design when she's just selling crappy t shirts. The thing that infuriates most of us with mgc is that she's a sellout who thinks she's this profound intellect and she imbues mediocre collections with grand social ideas thinking she's making a change in the world when in fact she's making yet another unnecessary trend influenced garment which will eventually end up in the bin where most of her designs belong.
