The Rise and Rise of Wales Bonner

Wales Bonner is one of the most successful fashion brands in the market at the moment. Starting as Grace Wales Bonner, the company has only gone from strength to strength since she graduated in 2014. Now highly rumoured for the creative head of menswear at Louis Vuitton, succeeding Virgil Abloh, I think she will be an interesting shake up for the luxury fashion market (in a good way of course)

I love learning about brands through your channel. Your analysis and criticism is also cool to hear. You state your opinion with grace and not arrogance, which I love.

[@understitchYT]

Thank you so much! Im so glad you enjoy my perspective too, I always feel nervous to add it in because I dont necessarily think it matters when discussing the history and successes of a business. Im even more interested in the business than my own opinion half the time 🤣

[@stephaniecortez4608]

Found your channel through the Vivienne Westwood video absolutely love how knowledgeable and thorough you are. very beginner friendly explaining the ins and outs. sooo soo soo enjoyable keep it up!💖

Thank you so much! I'm so glad youre enjoying the videos so much to comment, you made my day 🥰

[@markbieraugel8217]

I really enjoy your solid research on a designer's history and your deep and smart analysis of their collections. It is often hard to understand a newer designer and you do a great job of getting me smart fast!

[@understitchYT]

Im so glad you enjoyed the video, Ive followed her work since The V&A so luckily this research was easily done because I saw it in real time, just had to make sure my memory wasnt faulty 🤣

I thought maybe that was the case, in the playlist?

[@silk3142]

Top 5 page for me as an aspiring clothing designer, learning about others doing it is dope. Thank you. And I've been seeing a lot of videos of who will take over LV and I feel like everybody is saying it'll be Ms. Rose but this video makes me like Wales Bonner a little more.

[@understitchYT]

I think Martine is a safe choice, she will continue what theyre doing with ease, but I think Grace will shake it up so nicely in a way that Louis never has been before - and I for one would LOVE to see that…but also, I know Louis is a business so Martine is a safe bet and Wales is a risk

[@huguettetchiapi1126]

Love the video, it'd be great if you could cite your sources in the video or description as there's alot of information you talk about that I'd love to read/see for myself but dont know where to find it. Such as you stated something called 'The Man Collective' at 0:48 which I can't find online. I have no idea what you're refering to.

[@huguettetchiapi1126]

It sounds similar to Fashion East, which I think is what you're talking about. But am unsure then why you called it the 'Man Collective'

[@understitchYT]

@@huguettetchiapi1126 The MAN Collective was what Fashion East used to call their specifically menswear geared funds, it's a bit unfortunate because the name is so hard to search, but if you search both man collective and fashion east together it will come up

[@Poshgirl99]

Wow thank you for this video! So informative, and I really like your delivery. I agree, I preferred Grace Wales Bonner but still love the brand either way! 👏🏽

[@understitchYT]

Thank you so much, Im glad you liked it. Grace wales bonner definitely sounds better imo, but Im thinking she changed it off of her full name for legal reasons which I can respect even if I dont prefer the name 🫠

Proper piece on Grace WALES BONNER.

[@understitchYT]

I miss that name so badly 😂🤣 I wonder why she changed it really, Im thinking its the same reason Christopher Shannon started to get annoyed with having used his real name

[@Squeekybumtime]

Thank you Algorithm!

[@5252rubensamp]

From 0:45 to 1:12 you spoke on The Man Collective the provides a platform for up and coming designers. Do they have a website or an instagram page? I can’t seem to find it

[@understitchYT]

Not really, I think they did used to have a page, I feel like I remember going on it, but there’s not really a lot of information about it to be honest, I mostly know it from show studio

[@cj-hw3pv]

Nice algorithm coming thru with he suggested

[@ClearSmoke100]

I can only suspect shes changed the name because she started off eoth menswear for so long. When i first heard of Wales Bonner i thought it was a man. Where as if i heard Grace i wouldve thought it was a female's clothing brand. Even too this day her womens clothing is very unisex as those a mens design was thought of first.

[@understitchYT]

Maybe that is exactly what it is, they just thought it would sell more without the feminine connotation of the name Grace

[@re7416]

Random but soooooooooo true..... Ur voice is soooooooo similar to that of Cate Blanchett. (And I don't even mean it's soft Aussie inflection.) ▪︎ More ur phrasing, diction, pitch & pacing. Compare 01:16 of kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaLYin6dh7yNhJI

wish I could be 20 cms taller, weight 40 kgs less and be black to wear these fantastic pieces oh... and also be rich

Her clothes are actually, surprisingly flattering, I recommend going to try them on at least, because I think you’ll be surprised
