She is the undisputed Queen of fashion reporting.

[@theoldmule3619]

What a great idea. More of these please...... Here comes a new series I hope xxx

[@pipceewho]

Thank you for this. Not one to request but everyone would definitely benefit from more of Suzy's input and commentary on her experience with the history of fashion. Really beautiful x

[@pmitch397]

Go yup

[@runekristensen8877]

and today you will never see mrs menkes when a new designer is making their debut!

[@marthenri]

Oh, Suzy (and Showstudio), that was so good. I love your POV: always clear, and non-elitist in the gentle rhythm you bring fashion history in to the conversation, so as I can understand it, and get it completely. X

[@codmentalist2379]

what a fantastic video!! more of these please

[@jameswelsh5432]

SO GOOD! I would love to see more of these with different people who work in the industry! SHOWstudio never ceases to amaze me with the top-notch content.

[@jabundis]

This was great!!!! Thank you!! Its great to see someone being articulate about things that they really love!

[@nicholashilton2514]

I hope you do more of these!

[@hcje3577]

These are my favorite !!!!

[@laurent4122]

Suzy is an unsung hero. In a climate of logos printed on t shirts, she represents a piercingly real voice in fashion. A true purveyor of real design.

[@bridgetbold6867]

Martin was and is completely modern I modeled for him made his fashion films wore his clothes they were utterly well made in the highest quality fabrics completely wearable, mysterious and true

[@bridgetbold6867]

I cried during the Jean Patou show

[@suginami123]

Just by chance I went to Isetan in Shinjuku Tokyo and Rei Kawakubo was holding a presentation of photographs. Her hea8 wa cut on the bias with a strong blue edge and she easily smiled at us as we looked at the images. Memorable

[@koko1974ify]

I love this, Suzy makes it all sound so fascinating, so beautiful.

[@X__jbunny__x]

Thank you! We Love you Suzy

[@vivaideas8029]

That is why she is the greatest of all. Ver deep, personal and unusual choices.

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

I am especially drawn to the purses in the lacroix show! And the lace cycling shorts =]

[@TubeedooYou]

Karl Lagerfeld: She can write and say anything she wants because she IS Suzy Menkes!

[@TASconfidential]

I remember that quote from one of my favorite fashion documentaries!!!!

[@anmoses21]

@@TASconfidential Which documentary was that?

[@gabrielvelea5785]

wow! one cannot fathom the amount of platitudes this lady has been uttering. I'm wondering how did she manage to sneak in for such a long time in the industry

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

Love how suzy judged the clothes for what they were and not whether/not they suited her because she knows what her job is and herself!

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

LONG LIVES LACROIX !!!

[@jiadark915]

She is the best !

[@MiucciaPradaify]

When I think of Lacroix I think of Eddie Monsoon.

[@guilhermequeiroz8699]

MARAVILHOSA. ❤️✨

[@juliannabigfootpena4284]

what abt Louis Vuitton S/S 2008?

[@lahnaflore2621]

The sound quality of this video is terrible.

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

Monsieur Lacroix and the whimsical and decadent baroque/rococo femininity of his work is greatly missed!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

I want some of those clothes from the lumps and bumps and not wear the pads! =]

[@nospmohtracso]

suzy sounds like a dementia patient free associating about fashion shows she remembers from the 90s

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

How dare you, Suzy Menkes, calling the 80s vulgar and loud? We all had the most fun. We have been bored since. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

[@jameswelsh5432]

The 80's WERE vulgar and loud. Thats's part of what made them so great!

[@bryanmartin5901]

Creepy angle and lighting. Is it really necessary. Just let us look her in the eye and speak. Silly
