What the Hell Is Wrong With The Row?!

[@ellerichseven]

If they wanted to make their designs more fun; they would. They are not for everyone and that's OK!

[@saragibbons]

I think people are too entitled to be included in everything.

[@elizabethandrews4199]

I disagree because as a brand owner, I can see why they want to control how their product is presented to the public.

[@4gma59]

Same here. If I were a brand owner, I would too. That's your ''baby." It needs to be protected.

[@notme1255]

Agreed, plus I don't get the problem with being asked to stay off the phones? Like less screen time is suddenly a bad thing just because a company asked ADULTS to? And people are upset about it like children who are addicted to Cocomelon 😆

[@juweiss2314]

they are known for minimalistic designs, scarves and charms and fun would be absurd for the row

[@NickyM_0]

The Row is not trying to be frivolous, girly, whimsical or pretty. They are meant to be classic. Timeless. Elegant. Stylish, clean and minimalist, It's not for everyone. I absolutely detest charms and scarves on bags. I find it too fussy but great for those who love it. I absolutely love The Rows' fashion aesthetic.

[@mauishopgirll]

I’m older, in my 50s, and I just assumed they preferred no distractions at the show. Back in the day the shows were less about being seen and more about the critique and buying/merchandising for retailers. We’d see pics through articles that also had commentary on the collection. Many fashion influencers I find on insta are sharing pics of themselves or in groups and don’t talk much about the actual collection. I’m not a Row fan girl or anything like that but I don’t agree that they should start accessorizing their bags. It’s the opposite of their aesthetic and concept. Additional straps add hardware and the hardware on their bag is minimal. I love the quirky charms/tricks of LV and Prada but don’t think that’s the Row at all. Dior is also more flamboyant and girlie with an edge than the Row, which is more Gentlewoman.

[@NickyM_0]

[@itssomarkness]

I was under the impression that the ban from using phones was to avoid leaks. I mean, they always release the official photos anyways. What's the big deal? And in the screenshot it says "it looks like COS." Because COS borrows heavily from The Row. I don't think they're snobbish, honestly. I think they prefer the real life experience so going to the stores to feel the clothes and not using smartphones to take a closer look at the runway shows. It's also weird that you change your opinion quickly because of what others feel. It might mean The Row is not for you. Just because you like it then another person says it's boring and you quickly change means you have low conviction. Just enjoy the clothes if you like it no matter what another person tells you, it's a piece of fabric. As long as the quality doesn't decline and the suppliers and workers who make the clothes are treated well, it's ok for me. I mean, Loro Piana has been exposed for its shady tactics with their suppliers.

[@bagloverlux]

No. They dont need to change anything.

[@beautybonvoyage8624]

They can improve on some of their recent stuff, they dont need to make more fun though. Keep the minimalist look but add some different cut and proportioned pieces, that's it. no need for scarves and other stuff.

[@feetjiefit6353]

Naaah, let them stay snobby. No desire for charms and scarves and making things "more fun" 🤣🤣🤣

[@beautybonvoyage8624]

Agreed, the charms and making it more fun will change the entire aesthetic of the brand. The main issue is their recent cuts and proportions are a bit off. Minimalism can work but the cuts have to be precise and the combinations of shapes to create an item well thought out.

[@cnmurugan1483]

People buy The Row simply because they are discrete luxury without all the loud paraphernalia. Also it’s not for everyone. People who like the aesthetic will buy. They don’t care about the rest. And that’s how it should be.

[@regisnyder]

Isn’t the premise of The Row is clothing that are basic but high quality on a minimalist design… They’re not about setting a trend; they just want to supply extremely good quality clothing/accessories that are timeless. Can I afford The Row? No but I like that they are influencing other designers/manufacturers to step it up a notch when it comes to quality fabrics and construction. Things cost too much for an item to be poorly constructed, no matter what economical level a person is at.

[@kimvilleneuve2543]

I love the simplicity of the bags.

[@piercenigel4670]

SHOCKED with this video. scarves? charms? omg, better to buy bags at the gift shop of tour eiffel or something. god

[@NickyM_0]

😂😂😂 Right!

[@FilleDesSoucoupesVolantes]

I disagree with the ideas presented in the video. The brand does not need to be edgy or anything you guys WANT it to be. It's a minimalist couture brand. It's zen and has clean lines. If you want frou-frou you go to Valentino, Versace, Chloe, Stella Mc Cartney, Miu Miu. Simple. That's what I do. I mix it up. There's no law that states you have to be loyal to one brand.

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

I love the plainness of the Row. I’m not a customer. I’m a wannabe customer 😄

[@4gma59]

I have to admit, even though I don't like the plainness myself, there is a certain elegance to the simplicity. I love that we're all different. How boring it would be if everyone liked the same things.

[@dillydallydollo]

I love The Row just as it is. I wouldn't change anything about it.

[@tammyleavy1336]

What it seems and what is true are 2 different things. They are getting tired of all of the copying of their products. Bring on the snobby, I don't blame them at all. They are both wonderful individuals and I have the honor of meeting them a few years ago while in NYC. They are both angels.

[@casalist5426]

I just don’t understand humanity in 2024. While walking my dogs, my husband and I saw a Fendi’s publicity in which they promote their leather school…meaning you pay them to teach you a skill, and then maybe they will hire you for “monetine”. Mind you we are in Toscany and leather goods are part of the history and not too long ago companies would hire you and teach you to be an “ artigiano”. Honestly you could get a good leather bag made in this region but now I wonder for how long it will be like that. It seems people just want a brand name so it maybe why companies are changing.

[@WhatLeslyeLoves]

I’m not thrilled with the pricing especially lately. I can’t find myself justifying them despite the “timeless & classic” styles they have.

[@vanessabogaert2104]

Way overpriced for the quality. I have a few pieces from when they first came out, but the prices have outpaced the quality.

[@darking1977]

What's wrong Same all boring shapeless black clothes every season That brand is BEYOND BORING

[@auliaamman3498]

The Row has its own aesthetic and specialty which is Minimalistic. That’s what distinguishes this brand from other brands. If they change their design to follow the trends, it won’t be the same and exclusive anymore. That’s why this brand is not for everyone.

[@GutterFlower-t2u]

Nothing is wrong with the brand, tittle is clickbait. You aren’t in the fashion industry, so why are you inserting your opinions?

[@mothra__13]

People are allowed to have opinions on industries they're not directly involved with, Duolingo.

[@eleanorfleming2278]

You’re right about The Row stupid marketing strategy of shutting out potential customers from seeing the brand’s collection. How can you tempt clients to buy your products when people don’t know what the said products are !?! It’s illogical !!!

[@jonnyfendi2003]

And yet by doing this there is fever pitch to see what the brand has to offer… the irony

[@seabreeze4559]

Concerts need to ban people filming the whole thing too because you can't see the actual band you paid to see, just a small army of smartphones hovering in front of them.

[@marhari2009]

Let's don't make a drama about it

[@francojara9448]

if they don't want to put out a show for the media it's ok. the clothes are still what they are.

[@AE-nf8nz]

this is different. its their art/creative direction and ownership over their work. im a fan and large consumer of their work and also a designer. if i spent months designing a collection and production and staging a show, why is it an issue that I also want to control how its seen, presented, and consumed? they shot it beautiful in a warmly lit space on film with beautiful interiors and objects staged with the looks vs sloppy shaky instagram videos of these clothes. instead of no imagery at all, it would be interesting if this was pre shot so journalists could have a press package. and have a live artist illustrating looks as they came down.

[@Pammerrigan]

I LOVE the ROW!!! I love and enjoy every piece I'm blessed to own. A brand isn't required to make business decisions to satisfy your voyeuristic entitlement. One reason to not allow photographs would be to avoid the production of real time knock offs.

[@blake1001x]

I actually dont understand the fuss about the "The Row". Design is plain, ugly and oldie just like the twin sisters.

[@kaholizhimo6858]

If they follow the same style as other brands then what will set them apart ? Please 🙏

[@YingjunRuan-hd6em]

The Row is like buying K Mart but paying Hermes prices. I thought Hermes and Chanel are boring but The Row takes the cake. The Row is for people with no personalities but a lot of money.

[@4gma59]

Sour grapes.🤣

[@YingjunRuan-hd6em]

@@4gma59 What sour grapes are you talking about? I do not envy The Row customers. I feel pity for them. They have the money but zero taste or creativity. I on the other hand have lots of money and lots of creativity.

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Get a grip - The Row is awesome. You seem really easily influenced by other people’s opinions. Their brand isn’t about being fun and adding charms or scarves, it’s about timeless basics and extremely high quality materials.

[@Chicaboom644]

Charmlessness seems to be the brand's thing. There's a few nice items, but nothing to ooh and aah over. Too masculine for me.

[@barbthegreat586]

I'd say boring, rather than masculine.

[@Chicaboom644]

[@beth5633]

Definitely no charms, scarves or other handles for bags, this is vulgar and cheap.

[@twistoffat]

It’s a business, also a successful one. The new luxury seems to be treating customers like dirt and customers willingness to pay for this treatment. All are at it, quality has dropped but prices have increased. Fools are paying money to get into a club they really don’t want to belong to

[@beautybonvoyage8624]

I don't think CHARMS and making it more fun is the issue. This has to do with the cut and overall design of their items. You can still do minimalist but more appearing styles. Hermes birkins is a simple desgn but they do different colors, sizes, and such that it still doesn't look boring while being timeless. I think recent Row styles isn't just about being discrete but the way in which some of their new clothes are CUT and FIT is looking a bit unflattering. It's about finding the right balance and proportions. They don't and aren't going to make their stuff more 'fun'. In fact, I think too many brands are too focused these days on chasing fast fashion trends to the point where they are just creating waste products for people to overconsume. The Row just needs to get back into visually balancing their designs instead of looking too much now like an old crazy bag lady on the streets vibe. Modern minimalist is their thing and that's okay. As long as the quality is top tier they can keep justifying the prices but if it's just an OKAY quality then yeah, that's a marketing gimmick where they can calm down a bit with.

[@ladygothic7699]

I know I could never afford The Row, so I feel I can say this…they have a spot in Haute Couture. That’s damn near as high as any fashion brand can go. Haute Couture is for a few. It’s a club you are allowed entry to. That’s not a lot and mainly aimed at … older, richer players. That’s their style.

[@brunonjezic6208]

I would really hate they add spices to their bags. Really like those designs you should. As per runway policy it seems like you got this really personal. I like the idea of the audience there being in the moment rather than on the camera as usual runways. It seems like interesting move. Added mystery is just welcome in my opinion

[@MarinaNekrasova-y4e]

Btw the row doesn’t have an exceptional quality. I've had several items from them and all not of the highest quality. The bag wasn't equally matte in all places, and it's straight from a boutique. The leather on the sandals cracked on the sides in just a few months. All of these things you get for thousands of dollars.

[@victorialaykther3038]

I'm in favor of paying more for good basic items that are going to last but it has to make sense in terms of cost per wear. In the case of The Row, it just doesn't. If i want a well made durable T-shirt, I can buy it at Tommy Hilfiger or Hugo Boss for much less. Also I don't think that the proces at the row can be justified by the labor or amterials it took to make them. A basic cotton T-shirt, with no embroidery, lace etc.. it not that hard to make and shouldn't cost hundreds of dollars.

[@risaswonderland]

I don't mind then shutting the show. I honestly like it more if it's not on the eye.

[@NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

Its disgusting that some people seemingly "deserve" to throw away $10000 on a fucking coat, while others, nurses or other professions have to wait for months to be able to save up that amount of money just to live. Its sickening.

[@daniellekennedy8118]

Not only too elitist but also classist and sizeist. Other high end brands have managed to make quality clothing in sizes over a European 12 without clutching their pearls and fainting, or making snotty and insufferable comments (Looking at you Tom Ford and Karl Lagerfeld). That's kind of a three strikes and you're out checklist. Also too beige. OMG too beige.

I don’t even like The Row, it’s all black or gray and huge. I’m a small woman, I would drown in those clothes and I hate the dark colors they use.

[@matangkadnakapre]

If their aesthetics do not sustain your enthusiasm, then its not for you. The reason I think that they keep it minimal and simple is, plainly, because its The Row. Its their artistic direction. Plus if they do dabble in more hardware and accessories (ie. cute charms, jesus christ and mary save us), they would look tacky and generic. There is beauty in simplicity, and very few appreciate this.

[@dylanmayss]

the "average" consumer not being able to see something right away that they aren't going to buy anyway isn't a bad move by the brand in my opinion but nice video you got my sub

[@chrisgreek4285]

Here is my point of view on their “no filming” rule. IF they were having a videographer set up to video the entire show and then showcase that on their website, I could get on board with this. Since no such thing was done, I think it’s a jerk move. In my opinion, if they don’t want me to see their product, I don’t want to buy it. Perhaps after a couple of seasons of stagnant and dropping sales they will learn their lesson. Seriously, how exclusive do they think they are? Can we all say “ego trip”?

[@perspectiveofme]

Ah yes, I completely agree!!

[@Fitnessandfashionpassion]

Seems to be a pattern on these videos. Video 1. Love this brand Video 2. This brand is no longer good because of viewer comments I read. This constant flip flopping and inconsistency Makes it hard to take these videos serious but it probably gets viewers. 😂

[@Sophia-rf4hw]

Overhyped and overrated 'Quiet luxury brand'. I'm a big luxury fashion buyer but I'll never buy from the Row. Earlier this year I visited Lane Crawford for this brand with high expectations but ended up disappointed. The design and tailoring of some pieces (pants, skirts, trenchcoats) are just unflattering! Definitely not worth the price. I think theres just too much hype going around the Row....Id rather buy Jil sander/ Margiela.

[@TheBohemianStyle]

The brand designed clothing for petite women, but failed to provide affordable clothes and for all sizes and shapes for women’s body. The bags are too large for a petite women. Shame on petite designers!🤬

[@nerminacamovic1600]

Their bags are plain, but there are sometimes other products that are unique and cool, and that is why they get copied so much. I like the balance that the Row maintains between being cool and timeless. Constantly being edgy and cool is tiring in my opinion. And leads to more fast fashion.

With a few exceptions, the fit of this brand’s clothes doesn’t look good at all. If the clothes don’t look good on 6-foot tall, size 2 models, they certainly won’t work on 5’4” size 6 me! I’m the exact height of the average US women, but much thinner, the average size is now 16 (up from 14 a decade ago)! I don’t need larger-size inclusivity, but I very much believe in it. How about petites for the average, short, US woman, too?
