My grandpa used to say "if you wear a label, they should pay you for advertising their brand!" - I laughed. It's true.

[@bimaaditya6457]

HUUUUUUUUU

[@Dantick09]

It is good advice

[@Dreamcatcher0007]

Loved this and so true. However, we pay for just the lables.

[@TriviRocks]

@@Dreamcatcher0007 Haha. I don't.

[@blanche4444]

Fashion is something that I love but at the same time, I don't see the reflection of my love into a brand. I am never satisfied with the values and what the brand do about it. Minimalist helps me to find my love of fashion into simple clothes and second hand products Also I found minimalist in fashion when I started creating my own clothes. I treasure more something that I made !

[@CKSPACE]

Well said! Happy to hear that minimalism helps you with that. Stay intentional!

[@alicegiovane3441]

It made me think that is kind of the same philosophy than the Japanese brand Muji, which litterally means "No brand" - and they indeed don't have labels either. I like the concept of these kinds of videos ! Keep up this great great work, I always look forward to the release of your new videos :)

[@dva5610]

@Tony blame the white people.

[@b3naqua]

The mask part is so beautiful and conceptually resonant with today's culture, which can be so obsessed with concepts such as perfection, status, etc. Removing the visual temptation of a face to enter another level of thinking as a metaphorical boundary towards focusing on something else, something unknown, something less referential. A clean slate, a mystery.

[@nayaclark2342]

As a self-described minimalist, I wear lots of Black clothing and beige linens similar to the reasons you mentioned. On the other hand, I keep my room and the few pieces of furniture and decor in it white or with wooden accents. I love how everyone chooses their own approach to colour systems in minimalism. What’s everyone else’s approach?

That answer is true in relation to light. When talking pigment, it's the opposite. Colormatters dot com has a great explanation to all the differences.

[@kazettique]

I am making my own uniform (as my wardrobe) since I've decided to become a minimalist. As time goes by, if I want to have a little variety of style in everyday dressing, I should re-consider and adjust my wardrobe might be. Which I resonate a lot in this video is: when you are lazy to think, you have some uniform outfit (as default), but keep choices when sometimes you want to change the style (but keep it to the bare minimum). That's the THOUGHT I'm considering recently!! To have the wardrobe with minimum choices, I can keep choosing the outfit very effectively, but without losing flexibility. (and JOY exactly, sometimes fashion brings me joy. 😄) You just made my thought into words. Thanks for sharing the idea about fashion. Cheers! 🍻

[@ayoitselaine]

it's cool to see your passion for fashion still produce this sort of content :)

[@jenstrommen]

Great content 💯 Clearly you know and ponder a lot on this subject! I look forward to watching more videos including your thoughtful take on minimalism design and philosophy 😊

[@pamgomez9694]

Really interesting approach on the video. Thank you so much for your content!

[@cyand]

your videos are so incredibly informative and calming. I always feel so engaged because the way you present information draws my attention so well

[@onescomplement]

This has to be one of my favorite videos you have produced yet. Its so unique and interesting. I was captivated to the end!

[@aprilmarie1829]

This is my favorite video yet. Nice work. I have not heard of this designer and I love how you tied the concepts together. Thank you!

[@barbwired10]

I love your content. Seriously. Very informational, Very well edited & calming. Keep it up!

[@ouijafox6953]

I really appreciated the research and time you put into bridging the intersections of two topics that really encapsulate your passions. I enjoyed this video so much and loved the aesthetic and videography! Please continue to share and explore the philosophy/lifestyle approach. It really allows minimalism to be seen with greater meaning through the intentionality of owning less and is helping people deepen their self reflection on consumerism.

[@susans1283]

Your videos are always artful and informative. Your voice is calming. I enjoyed how you related minimalism to another topic here. Thank you!

[@carolynjones5222]

Very interesting. I hope you do more of these. Thanks for sharing.

[@claraarnold1723]

I used to get overwhelmed very easily so starting in my teens I always removed every label and was so glad that 7 years ago I discovered minimalism. I have no I knowledge of brands and tbh have never even heard of this one, but really enjoyed the video non the less. Thank you.

[@deed.3879]

Absolutely please do more with minimalism design and philosophy. Your meta deep dive with this here was captivating. I had never heard of Margiela. This is such a commentary on minimalism but also art, and perception. You have a real strength for the medium of fashion. I hope you’ll continue with more video projects like these. (P.S. Maison means house in French- why is your dog named Maison? 😊)

[@AlchemistLynn]

This was super interesting! I didn't know very much about the brand, but I do love their by the fireside, fragrance. It's stunning!

[@stickysamosa816]

Wow, I LOVEDDD this type of content, CK! Please make more about minimalism fashion! As a fellow minimalist who used to study fashion, I love love this. Include more content relating minimalism to practical areas of life like lifestyle and fashion and more. Amazing video. This is by far my favorite video of yours.

Great video!

[@solromero7415]

Very interesting, please continuing videos about these topic , thank you

[@KissGinaChannel]

I liked the video and I absolutely agree with that no label wearing thing. But Margiela's stuff is ridiculously expensive for that who is really a minimalist and not a fashionista. Minimalism is not about highend stuff, I think.

[@aldohuancaaliaga4711]

Another great video :)

[@Thalestin]

very interesting video, great work

[@jessicaribeiro8928]

I love fashion but I was never a super consumist because 1st Im poor and 2nd I love being pratical. My friends say I don't have alot of clothes but the real thing is we don't need alot of clothes because we end up by using our favourites. All my clothes are my favourites

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Thanks. That is one of my favorite movies and a quote to be remembered.

Beautiful movie🏔

[@worldofart7985]

Interesting Video...Please continue posting similar videos in the future as well. All the best!!!

[@contactexit]

Good job!

[@meredithcurtisgoode3850]

I love the philosophy stuff. The idea of minimalism and capitalism of any kind presents quite a conundrum, which can be seen in the development of that simple tag into a design statement that probably costs a lot to buy, when you can purchase an inexpensive, simple tshirt from a thrift store any time you want. I like reflecting on that kind of thing. How to have the fashion sense I want within my sustainable and frugal minimalist intent.

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the comment Meredith! That's beautifully put and well thought out.👍

[@casbox9156]

I click on his video simply because they are so calming but stay because they are so interesting

Will do, big thanks Jeffrey!🙏

[@jayathome2898]

Very interesting!

[@neontomo]

Takeaways: 🖤 🤍 1. Make use with what you have (be resourceful) 2. Remove focus from the designer, bring it back to the garment 3. Use anonymity to create intrigue 4. White creates a clean feeling for better focus (at least in work) 5. Even anti-branding can be a sort of branding 6. Uniforms can eliminate hierarchy if everyone wears it 7. Don't stress too much about removing labels, they are on everything

[@Fausto_moh]

I really enjoyed it. Hope you make more like it

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks Fausto! Will do!🙏

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

YOOOO long time silent viewer here since your Ricks and CCP days. So happy you are discussing fashion again in the channel, and even in better ways of doing it which is in philosophy point of view. So, is it too much to hope that you are going to discuss other maison in future videos? Helmut Lang next, perharps? PS: if anybody want to learn more about Margiela's design, you could watch Bliss Foster's series on Margiela's runaway shows here in KZbin. He is kinda problematic but you could learn one or two things from him.

[@lawmiscellany1186]

It's ckspace wednesday again! I love how understated a simple shirt is but with a few tricks, it can be the most luxurious as well. I tried incorporate ckspace's philosphy in my wardrobe. As an example, i got rid of all my shirts that were not of a solid color. These days i only wear white, gray , black and brown. I always look put together because of the change. I also got rid of my worn out clothing and replaced it with higher quality pieces from uniqlo(similar what ck wears)🤣 Im a girl btw🤣🤣🤣 Tho i started with minimalism only last year, i can say that it has impacted my life deeply and cheng's video helped out alot. Here's to hoping you get more subs. 💯

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the kind comment! 😂nice, ckspace philosophy! Glad it helps you in your life! All the best to you and your minimalism journey!🙏

[@iristhehooman]

I'm anti-brand too! I never liked my sense of style to be linked to a particular brand, and finds it cheesy to wear shirts which brands are very easily identifiable. I knew the part, about people not wanting to cut of the four sides was coming! LOL! Margiela is such an interesting person, feels so relatable :P OMG. The dog part. HAHA!!!

You are so sweet and cute putting you own label in the back of the Black T short to demonstrate. I like your style. Although I am a pensioner on a good Swiss pension, I also go with the style now of nice dark jeans, black or neutral taupe or olive T shirts and ankle boots. We can but really nice classical minimalist boots here in Zurich. Found this video very interesting. Yes please continue on the design of minimalism in your videos. They are very cool. All the best.
