Elsa Schiaparelli is a descendant of the Medici, yeesh !

i worked at J. Crew the summer of 1999 for a couple of months before going into my senior year of college. i had such a wonderful time working for them. years later i reapplied for a stylist assistant position with the company (Madewell too), but i didn't get it...oh well, their loss.

i actually worked as a backstage dresser at that JustSweet SS09 show. i met Jennifer, her sister Linda, and Marc Anthony (who she was married to at the time). i'm surprised that you didn't mention her brief collaboration/partnership with the store Kohl's. i remember her trying to sell a line JLO clothing there too.

Fashion is dead ever since 2020.

This was fantastic! Thank you so much for this truly great work.

this was so good wow🥲 it’s so interesting all that happened during the war time. I’m so sad about her calling out for pinot at the end </3

this makes me feel old. i bought a few items before the production issues started

This is literally life changing. Thank you for your dedication to preserving history! ❤

How was Emily excluded from the style due to anti semitism? Serious question. Please explain. I have Jewish friends who dress super preppy.

Anya Taylor-Joy wore a beautiful Dior crystal dress in Cannes. Her Tiffany necklace was spectacular. ruclips.net/video/dUdokIU67lQ/видео.html

The good old days of retail. Popular Club had good quality clothes for women.

💋Moskino💋

I ordered a few sweaters from J Crew in the 1990s. It was so exciting! And I wore them a lot. The next year, I was in Palm Springs and went to the J Crew at the outlet mall there. It was decidedly less great. There was a lot of junk clothing, unlike in the home catalogue.

When you asked for suggestions I said do longer content. I really ❤❤❤ this video Good Job

The quality of the fabrics has gone down but I still love J. Crew. I hope they bring back velvet blazers for the holidays.

So there’s where all the White ppl went in commercials. The past. :/

This was wonderful… thanks for a fabulous biography.

KidSuper is dope 🔥🔥🔥

8:11 I’ve just started the video, and did you say that Sciaps grandmother died when she was 20, while her daughter (sciaps mother was 10)? Does that mean that she gave birth to her when she was 10 years old?..

You should be on a million subscribers! Great channel! Very inspiring

It hit the nail on the head . The logo for Karl Lagerfeld is juvenile to said the least. it lead the style to no where. I believe its combination Ego and self-hatred. The is a famous Chinese story about the Monkey king. Monkey king have managed to defeat everyone that was powerful. But there was one person he could defeat. It was his Ego. Good video, however its too pain to watch.

Excellence . this is the best history video on any designer. thank you.

I still shop regularly at Jcrew, although I was at my peak as a customer back in the Drexler/Lyons heyday. I had been introduced to the brand in college by girls who'd lay out their jcrew catalogues on their coffee tables like they were magazines. I bought pieces back then but since its devotees made it so cult-like, I limited my consumption to just that, a few items here and there. It was during the time right after college that I was racially profiled and followed around one of their stores by a sales associate and vowed never to return. Probably a decade later, during the Drexler/Lyons days I befriended a JCrew manager, a black man, who enticed me back into the brand. I still have pieces in my wardrobe from when I first started at Jcrew in the late 90s. I don't think their current stuff will last that long, but that seems to be the nature of fashion these days.

I liked the publicity but not the clothes.

A brand with really strong identity. I have their shirts and even subscribed to their newsletter, that’s how much I love their design ))

An Excellent story-telling of Schiaparelli. Worth the time investment to listen. Didn't realise that the model was related, yet there is a familiarity in features observed by the photos included. Very Well done.

Fantastic, brilliant. Thank you so much.

I have been buying JCrew for a very long time...I still get shirts and sweaters from them and unique blouses.... I am 76 so by now the pants are not fitting right. But I do want them to succeed again. Fingers crossed. Thank you for this very informative video on their journey.

What a great video! I really enjoyed this! I graduated high school in 2010 right in the Lyons era! And most of the clothes I still own today are from J.Crew. I still really appreciate the overall prep look and I still wear it. I don’t know what J Crew can do at this point to save themselves in the world Being destroyed by fast fashion, but I hope they can survive and create products that people genuinely want to be seen in. Thank you so much for this information.

Fascinating. Thank you.

Not just Jcrew. Anthropologie to me is no longer what it used to be. Beyond quality, the issue is that the companies themselves started to have people that copied them, and because these are high-brow wannabe companies, they can't have anyone looking the same. Therefore, they started to change. For instance: JCrew not only had a problem with the quality. That was true, their quality went down. But if we are honest that was happening across all brands in the industry. Not just Jcrew. There were almost no companies outsourcing and downgrading quality. BUT, JCrew's design went YOUNGER and the issue is that the younger people, in the US do not like to follow their mother's companies and the mother's didn't like the clothes. Because the issue is that the older women wanted the more neutral and fake "high-class" aesthetic. Which is the image of "luxury" Americans have. Despite the fact that in Europe it is not all clearcut and they sometimes are the ones that like eccentric fabrics. Basically Jcrew was hit by the issue that a large volume of Americans that are wanna be quiet luxury buyers just didn't like Lyons' directions. In Anthro's situation, they used to make clothes and items that were kitsch. As they became bigger, and their style was copied they now started to try to be different and more "high-brow". In this moment their clothes looks like everything else, with the same crap quality, rather than the original detailed seamstress aesthetic and their furniture stuff is modern and looks slightly better than Amazon. It is what is selling because once again Americans want simple. No colors, no personality, etc, etc. Turns out that neither of these companies are their former selves. And I'm almost forty. Lately to find the aesthetic that I liked from them I have to go to British companies like Boden and House of Hackney and similar. Because the issue is that US companies, as technology has grown, have lost any originality and whimsicality and just go for simple. And I can say this, I am American lol.

When I saw the Schiaparelli exhibition in Paris 2022, I was truly mesmerized by Elsa's design. It was whimsical and fun, unlike what one would expected from couture. It really captured your imagination unlike any other brands. Now understanding her backstory, it made me respect her beyond words. The London, Paris, & America segment just sounded like a real life version of the film 'Poor Things'. Yet, Schiaparelli actually did truly became an independent woman who set out to save so many. The WW2 allegations just sounded very misogynistic and racist to her role as an immigrant. While she might not get a full comeback after the war, I'm so glad her name lives on today with great success. She really did live a full life on her own terms.

Ironically after closing some stores in New York they’re actively opening new ones. Their men’s stuff is still good although they constantly change the fit which is disappointing. I can’t remember the last time I paid full price for anything at J. Crew!

J. Crew used to be tough

How many innocent creatures were tortured for this individuals shallow vanity… Fur.

Would have loved the 5 hr version!!!!! Where can I see it?

wow this was amazing

“This video is INFORMED by” This video is the literal plagiarism of others work.

Of course this is all shaped by your opinion. Sadly it’s so sketchy

Amazing video. Thank you and well done! ❤

Can u please do Gwen Stefani

>20 year old woman with a 10 year old child The way I listened to that three times…..Jesus.

I’m curious if you have a Rick Owens video on the pipeline. The lore must be insane 😮

Are those two little monsters still torturing innocent creatures for their fur…

Fall? Sorry, when has Tom Ford or his brand fell at all?

LOVED this video - you truly are the holy grail fashion channel

I have seen these designs and looks before, but I never knew the name because I’m not very into fashion. Very interesting story
