ROASTING Milan Fashion Week Fall 2021 (Versace's Monogram Disaster & Unfun Fendi Furs)
We are back with our third installment of our fashion month coverage! This time with our Milan Fashion Week reviews! We started off reviewing the new Roberto Cavalli collection by Fausto Puglisi, who some might know from recently making Doja Cat's Grammys 2021 Red Carpet look. We then got to see Kim Jones' first Ready-to-Wear collection for Fendi, and well it was interesting. From similarities to Bottega Veneta to a totally commercial revamp of the brand, there was a lot to discuss from the new Fendi. Then we saw Miuccia Prada & Raf Simons' second womenswear collection which definitely was reminiscent of the menswear collection we saw not too long ago. It was a better collection, and different in many ways from the menswear show, which could mean a stronger connection between Miuccia & Raf. Blumarine was a pleasant surprise during Milan, as the Y2K fashion inspired show by creative director Nicola Brognano got many interesting in the brand. From inspirations like Lil Kim to Paris Hilton, there was so much for those yearning for the glory days of the 2000s style. Valentino went for a commercial approach this season, focusing on interesting basics for their customers, and little pops of metallic colors here and there. The RTW definitely took on elements of the brand's Haute Couture styles in order to give a wider customer base more options. The finale collection we must discuss is Versace, which was a real let down. I want to enjoy the brand, but their releasing of their new monogram was a let down instead of a celebration. The Italians made statements this season, and while I won't say every statement worked, their voices were definitely heard!

"I know there is a market for cluless rich people with no taste but even they deserve some respect"😂😂🤣😂
And Puglisi ain’t showing any. Kind of insulting to RC himself.

Do they tho 👁👄👁
Was laughing so hard
Blumarine gave us The Winx Club live action lewks we deserved
Thank god, a lot of the other collections scared me
The versace collection was giving fendi, goyard, burberry & balmain all at once 😭😭
I wonder why they wouldnt just put medusas face printed at the back or front, that would be better
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT
It was giving everything but Versace
i miss the original prints and logo, medusa was iconic. they could've modernized it but nope they went "let's copy fendi". it almost spits on gianni's legacy
There are hardly truly great collections anymore. Those that continuously stand out are mostly HC like IVH or Guo Pei. Most of what we see has been done before and better. I remember 2006-2011 was such an exciting time, also in terms of the fashion press with LOVE and other magazines being launched and all of them doing really outstanding editorials. I kept so many because fashion press was art back then. The smart phone and influencer culture have destroyed most of it, the focus and the fashion world generally have seen major shifts and a gradual disintegration of the art in fashion. Hermès producing a pink glitter Birkin and people like Trisha Paytas buying it are really symbolic for a new low-point, while the great designers die off or find work in different fields. So sad.
When I saw how long this was I nearly cried lmao
weird my editor said the exact same thing 🤔
I was so happy 😭😭😭
@@freshturnips1693 same
I'm giddy with joy I say!😂
@@hautelemode Thank you for this great video.
As a woman who experienced the Y2K in her childhood, I'm scared for the future. The low rise cut is flattering only to (very) skinny women. Finding a flattering pair of pants back in the day was difficult, dark times :(
Not to mention uncomfortable to wear:-/
As an extremely skinny young girl, i still prefer high waist, since it helps to accentuate the few curves that I actually have (and imo is just more comfy). Still, I agree low waist (only) looks good on a body type, that would be unhealthy and unattainable for most women and would be a setback in the movement to normalize all female bodies.
@@user-pu5ce4ig5e I completly agree with you, I also prefer high waisted jeans for all body types. And it's fine If someone think differently. The problem was there were only low waisted jeans in the stores, and it made a lot of girls, me included, feel very insecure while shopping. I hope this time around there will be more versatility
I kinda like how low waist jeans look but it's hard to find any secondhand or vintage pairs which aren't designed for very very skinny women. Bare in mind I'm a US size 2...
Yep, I really need the high waist to keep my love handles in place 😂
Anyone else a little nervous about how y2k models are significantly skinnier than their counterparts? I just worry that this revival of the y2k fashion may come with a revival of the glorification of the ‘skinny-or-die, smoke-cigarettes-instead-of-eating’ outlook on the body. With how far we’ve come with body positivity and body neutrality I would hate to see the fashion community lapse back into their old ways.
It’s not gonna happen lol do you see how society has changed just in 2020? That isn’t tolerable anymore the idea will be “cancelled”
@@jasminebeydoun7426 exactly.
Honestly, a bit. idk if people remember Paris Hilton and clones running around in size negative hip hugging jeans with a 2 inch inseam. But basically, there's very few people who can pull off that look, and with everyone and their mother only showing crop tops these days, I am a little suspect. It's almost as if brands preach inclusivity but they still aren't really making size inclusive garments.

Nervous? Girl- get a grip
The Blumarine collection reminds me of winx club, i loved that show as a kid and these styles really remind me of the fashion the girls were wearing! Bright colours and fun silhouettes!
omg could you imagine the live action show using this collection instead of those hideous boring clothes 😭 it would be so fierce
@@kaemincha the fashion of the show was so bad....it made me forget that the writing was also horrible...
@@TehMomo_ honestly. Not only is it badly written but they couldn't even give us good costumes.
It reminds me of Totally Spies! Lol.

The Roberto Cavalli collection is just Tiger King couture 🐅🐅

@@dontgointothecloset0-05 dis like a group project
@@vandabiss yes yes it is
emmmm, it's Roberto Cavalli...not "Robert"
I'm so mad at Y2K coming back, that was a period where your body was the accessory, you had to be soooo skinny to pull off even the fully covered outfits. You can even see the models are skinnier then they've been in a long time on the Y2K shows T.T
makes me sad that y2k 2.0 couldnt combine the style of that era with the social advancements of modern day (such as body positivity, diversity, etc) and having more options for different bodies. Instead, unfortunately, i think the target demographic (teen gen z) dont have much memory of the shit show that was the skinny-or-die 2000's, so they are fine with diving back into y2k culture, not knowing that it is probably back-tracking all that body acceptance society had worked toward. Hope the term 'thigh gaps' never come back into common lexicon... but with tiktok being the new tumblr, i have little hope for that :(
Models have always been skinny
I noticed the very skinny tummies on display too.
Hopefully when it comes back, it will be reimagined by some designers for the more realistic body. I think the Y2K era was so fun, and light, and colourful, and I think it could really be exciting after what this depressing world has been through.
Yassss time to get skinny ladies
I'm no Versace customer but that collection looked like a mid-life crisis
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
the versace collection really was underwhelming because i only cared about the shoes lmfao
the Cavalli was giving fashionnova that’s immediately what i thought
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
It looked like shit. Can't belive they gave the green light
"I personally would like to study, the Prada customer, they must be oh so fascinating." Me too Luke, me too. Every collection makes me wonder how they didn't go bankrupt yet. I guess the handful of tolerable sets per collection must be enough to carry the whole company...
If I was rich I would fully be a Prada customer 💀
@@sergiovela7686 please share with us the reasoning behind your statement, I'm genuinely curious.
You have not check out what hits the store, it’s the basic accessories, bags and also renylon stuff that are selling
@@ShweMyaukMyauk the last time I checked a Prada store was in August, in Florence, and everything looked hideous to me 🤷♀️
To me is not super avant-Garde but also not boring, and their nylon pieces are pretty good Quality from what I've heard
Starting with Cavali - I just can't imagine going in with this portfolio and them saying - "Bravo! Animal heads on the ass" 🤮
Ready to judge these fashions in my flannel pyjamas and granny slippers 💛
Very classy. 🥰
New Versace monogram has to be Michel Kors' doing. Donatella would have never...
Allegedly! It makes sense
The looks, the theme and the shooting gave me MK vibes. It didn't felt like versace
Blue marine is hitting the mark with the trendy... the younger crowd is gonna loveeeeeee
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
off topic but in Italian "gn" is pronounced like the "ñ" in Spanish, so NicÒla BroÑano, like lasagna...thought it might be helpful for future videos
As someone trying to learn italian, I just can't seem to pronounce sbagliarsi 😅 is it just spaliarsi? Like the g is silent??
la même chose en français
@@Cirolina it's more like sbaYarsi
@@francescofonderico7787 I see! It doesn't make sence but we have maany words in my language that doesn't make sense either so I get it. Thanks for answering!
@@Cirolina there are only a few cases where a letter is silent in italian language. I cannot explain the “gl” sound since I am not a native english speaker. You can check pronounciation of some words using wikidictionary
Looking through KZhead and trying to find something to watch...And then Luke uploads an hour-long video. A perfect Sunday
Ditto, though I was actually looking for something to _listen_ to. No complaints, Luke has my full attention.

I would do ANYTHING for those Versace heels
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
off topic but gigi hadids new red hair suits her so much, almost as if she was meant to be a redhead
You probably don’t watch KDramas but there’s this drama on Netflix called It’s ok to not be ok- and the leading lady Ko Mun Young has some amazing fashions moments that would be amazing if you could react to. Lots of love 💕
I absolutely loved her style in that show. Absolutely gorgeous!
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html..
an hour?!!!!! you’re spoiling us 😭❤️
THANKS FOR THE SHOUTOUT BABE
thank you for being a star!!!!!
haven't heard of Blumarine but instantly fell in love with their collections. I really love the old wink to early 2000 collections but modernised through design tactics and more up - to - season prints
Timestamps: 0:42 Roberto Cavalli 8:17 Fendi 22:21 Prada 32:30 Blumarine 41:07 Valentino 51:23 Versace
Thx 😊
The Cavalli collection reminds me of a Mexican blanket.
Stop!!!! I can't take it because it's so true😂😂😂
Jajajajajajaj si!!
I respectfully disagree with you on Versace. I thought it was fun, youthful, and reinvigorated the brand for a new generation while paying homage to its roots. I honestly loved it.
Me too... I loved it!
No need to apologize for roasting Fendi. Kim needs to step up his game.
When you said "someone who could revolutionised feminine tailoring". Well... her name is SARAH BURTON. She has been doing it years ago after the Late McQueen (RIP) but underappreciated and overlooked.
LAQUAN SMITH FOR VERSACE OMG YES I AGREE!!!
I'm so glad you talked about Blumarine. I am loving it. And let's not forget that Lotta Volkova was behind the styling of this collection.
Some people fall asleep to the sound of rain... after a long day, I enjoy the sound of HAUTE discussing fashion.*no disrespect you’re so calming, descriptive, and informative... just listening to your videos can be brilliant.
That was a HARRRRRDDDD reference to Aaliyah's Cavalli look which was A MOMENT!!!! It didn't give the WOW that it did when Aaliyah had it though.
39:49 omg I forgot about putting rhinestones on our chests in the 2000s 💀tb to learning the hard way that "angel" is reversed in the mirror
omg im living for luke being a peter do girl ✨
I don’t know what distinguishes Y2K as an aesthetic at all, so I will look forward to your deep dive. (I’m 56)
LIVING for this hour long review 😍 this probably takes you forever to research, film, and edit but thank you for always posting these!
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
I, too, am confused at the versace monogram thing. I saw the show recommended on my KZhead and for a moment I genuinely thought it was fendi.
37:35 the feel of the 00's, the silhouette of the 1920's plus the body jewelry; body jewelry I think has definitely become more popular the past couple years and the choker chain to belt gives me bdsm accessory vibes of e-girl/e-boys but with a luxe feel. Edit; 38:21 I *LOVE* I am OBSESSED Edit 2; 38:51 that model looks _GORGEOUS_ with the different light pinks and those wrap up heels; the contrast to her skintone is just transcendent and so is she. Edit 3; 39:49 made me swoon, the butterfly motif in knit has a such a gentle feel; love the knit rose leaf choker too & the leaf motif delicately hidden near her wrist, also I'm obsessed with the fur hoops throughout
ngl i'm so glad you mentioned the versace shoes because the whole time i wasn't even looking at the clothes, i was simply looking at the shoes, especially the boots and then the heels with the matching stockings. i'm so happy stockings/tights are coming back i'm tired of boring hosiery
Perfect upload to go along with coffee on this rainy Sunday, thanks Luke!💕
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
i’m fully and happily prepared to see the Blumarine collection all over magazines, and the model choice for the collection was amazing.😍
YES! The whole time I was ignoring the Versace monogram creations and stared lustfully at those SHOES!
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
Loving this sooo much❤️❤️❤️ thank you for always making my day and making me learn more about some of the brands🥰
Ugh, Y2K was garbage the first time around and somehow even worse this time. Just let it die, please.
i love how much work you put into these videos - it really shows! so engaging to watch and i always learn something new
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html
when it comes to the Y2K styles that are back: PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME, SO HELP ME!
I watched the Versace runway film and the only thing I remembered was the soviet style hair wraps and the fact that everyone was stuck in a giant version of the monogram. I wondered if it wasn't just straight up making fun of brands have an almost totalitarian obsession with logo imagery. I liked a lot of the pieces because they seemed very sleek, retro and practical. Not exactly words we thing of when we think of Versace.
Help I really like the Prada collection 😭😭😭
PPP consistently does it for me at Valentino🌹. Whether couture or RTW, THESE are the clothes that I would love to have an opportunity to actually WEAR...not just appreciate from afar. I adore the graphic B & W pieces- the V cape, harlequin coat, & black circle cut-out coat, are sharp & mod. While the gold cable-knit sweater & skirt set, & black mini-skirt suit, are luxurious-yet-wearable. However, that 2nd-to-last, sheer black gown w/off-the shoulder bows, is AMAZING.
Luke will you be doing a naacp outfit rundown I enjoy your fashion analysis love your channel❤️
yes i think so!! probably will just come out later this week :)
Did Bebe Zahara Benet design the Cavalli collection?
Omg best comment award goes to you
dead at this
Gigi modelling after pregnancy is my spirit animal. Also, she gave birth without the epidural wtf🤡 I would've died
I was actually there during the filming of the Versace video!! Such a good day but the collection was MEH 😂
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html🙏
I looooove these FW overviews! Can’t wait for the Paris one 😍
Okay okay okay, this got me excited. I have been doing spring shopping, and have been looking everywhere for a full pink satin outfit. With the silky outfits still being show, gives me hopes that smaller more affordable brands will follow suit, and I’ll be able to have my full pink outfit.
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html..
As a kid of the early 2000's i really hate the whole y2k look, i personally found it quite ugly and possibily the most restrictive in its style. Like, only a certain type of people could wear it and it would look good, everyone else had to suffer😅
Wait why is it saying London in the title?
cause i am a ✨dumbass✨
Me: Sees video and the length *grabs snacks and a mug of tea*
Can you please do a Project Runway winners "where are they now?" Review with the winners' latest collections
Not Y2k coming back 💔
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html
Fendi-nova :D
I looked for this comment! I died 🤣
I honestly didn’t realize that the versace monograms were monograms 😭😭 I FULLY THOUGHT IT WAS A RANDOM PATTERN
Can you review the lil nasx video looks???
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html..
my thoughts on the collections: cavalli: aside from the first dress, the flag, and the aaliyah-esque dress i really like it! what can i say i love me an animal print fendi: listen im a massive fendi simp and this collection did not change that i lived for the whole thing, special shout out to the fur coat with the python trim, iconic. also loved seeing all the models of colour prada: like luke, i want to study the prada customer. idk i never 'got' prada, it just isnt my thing tbh. some of the prints are fun and im not mad at some pieces, or parts of pieces as the case may be, but despite how kinda outlandish this collection is it's falling kinda flat for me and i doubt i'll remember it blumarine: oh. my. god. im in love. that's all i can say i am in love!! i remember y2k fashion and i feel like this collection blends the actual fashion and trends of the time with the idealized version that gen z has created in their heads. i need all of those pieces STAT valentino: not mad at it! i like the harlequin coat and the cape coat, can def see myself in them. the gold cable knit look? amazing, love it, need it. but for the most part pretty hit or miss (i guess i never miss huh) valentino: as far as im concerned versace has been going downhill since gianni's passing and this doesnt help those feelings. it's fine, im sure people will buy it, but 'fine' and 'commercial' shouldnt be the only ways to describe a versace collection. also the medusa head is sick why are they tossing it
we missed your closet reaction vids huhu
We need a y2k deep dive!!! please
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html.
Love the education you give before the critique. 👏🏿

The blumarine collection is giving me ptsd. The belly rings, the gladiator shoes, so many butterflies, the skirt that is the same size as a belt. I'm dead.
I was just thinking that it's time to bring back patterned stockings
a lot of the feni knit crop tops/bralette look really similar to those from jacquemus. although, as a knitter, it's hard to change up the typical knitting pattern.
As soon as you talked about that zebra print Cavalli dress, it immediately reminded of Aaliyah's VMA"s red carpet look
The resurgence of the Karligraphy logo was weird to me because it was designed in 1981 but was immediately archived until Karl’s final collection in 2019... it’s just odd to me because it was a seasonal print that was gone for 2 seasons and then brought back by Jones. Makes no sense to me lol
loving the peter do rep with the hoodie!
I really thought you were going to roast that entire versace collection without mentioning those wonderful shoes 🤯
the new versace logo makes me sad, the medusa was so iconic. it looks like fendi's logo. the only thing i really love about the looks were the platform heels and the head scarves/bandanas(?). truly underwhelming especially after the s/s
A whole HOUR. You spoil me.
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html
Oh wow i really like almost all bluemarine design, i really dont care where the design era inspired from, but almost all look so elegant, some of the color combination was clashing but the design and the finish silhouette looks great.
I have to agree with you on the versace collection. It was underwhelming. The bags looked cheap, They made them out of coated canvas, and it just didn't work. It looks like a cheap MK bag.. I like the shoes.
kzhead.info/sun/gZawl8iEoXecoHk/bejne.html
Thank you for introducing me to Chopovo Lowena!!! 🖤 It made this punk grrl happy.
Honestly living for that Valentino's Vpatterned Black-and-white Cape
Right when you showed that blue fur jacket I thought lil Kim & a second later you brought up Lil Kim yesssss
If I don't see Rowan Blanchard in Blumarine sometime soon, I'm going to cry
Totally agree with your Cavalli roast lol the collection looks so bad
I cracked at "Fendinova" hahaha
I have no clue why they didn’t let Silvia Fendi continue as creative director, she was killing it creating innovative fur pieces and beautiful silhouettes. It’s strange how the lackluster Virginie at Chanel gets to continue on after taking the he from Karl yet the surprising and exciting Silvia hand to hand over the reins at Fendi.
I actually really like the Versace monogram
Same here... the new monogram is fresh for the brand.. they just wanna try other options for their consumers to choose.. also the designs are not underwhelming... I respect his opinion but i respect the creativity of the designers... I would only comment maybe unless I can afford to buy any of versace items... i even hard time buying their chain reaction shoes... It’s Versace’s forte when it comes to innovation...
'I would like to see a study of the Prada customer. It must be O so interesting.' Hilarious. You are such a pearl, Luke. Actually, I like to think of your name pronounced as Luc Meagher, mix of French and Gaelic. Touch of Paris, touch of Dublin, very NYC in the end. Analitycal and smash.
I will have my eye on blumarine omg
I love his videos, very enlightening. However, I definitely don’t know fashion because the ones his disliked were the ones that I loved lololol
Just in time for my cafe con pan. Happy sunday Luke.
Absolutely love plunging necklines on jumpsuits. Jumpsuits are really hard to make look good on most bodies, and the neckline gives some shape.
During the Blumarine section all I could think was how much I hate Y2k fashion
As I was working in documentaries, they said that you gotta be very careful with the you choose, because it sticks to you and sometimes curses you. Even more with a monogram. When I looked into the original monogram I saw that it was as if they had taken this crown surrounding the medusa and flipped it to create 3-D effect. What is worrying is that it creates the walls of a labyrinth. Hope the brand does not get lost into this monogram labyrinth it has created for itself. There was a monster in Dedalus labyrinth, not a Medusa but the Minauthor, who ate the young people sacrificed to it... Scary for a brand, no?
it took me a really long time to even wrap my head around the prints but once you try on one or two pieces. Style it and make it your own & even mix matched some stuff. It really comes together. It’s just a fun collection that actually got me hooked back on Versace to the point where the only underwear I’ll wear is theirs :)
And I’m not sure what other Versace customers are like but I wear what I want when I want how I want :)
Killin it. As always Luke!
Ashley Tisdale would’ve absolutely rocked every Blumarine look in the early 2000’s
The full tiger print look (trench coat and boots) was in deed hot and dear lord must be so expensive, honestly I forgot Roberto Cavalli existed 🤭plus I want those fang heels doesn’t matter if I brake my ankle trying to walk on them lol
