I was missing this type of videos from you, love them!
Thank you❤
Thank you for also bringing up the drawbacks of Le Corbusier, especially the large megalithic city structures. I believe what makes humans special is the way in which we’re not robots and require more than large swaths of ugly concrete to feel happy and content in our environments. One example I’m struck by is the Soviet Union’s construction of its subway stations in St. Petersburg and Moscow: they covered these stations in guilting, baroque plastic work, paintings, mosaics, coiffured ceilings, etc. It was intentional: the leaders of the communist party said they wanted to give the palaces back to the common man. Inherently people understand the value of craftsmanship and an artisan attention to detail-that is what makes Le Corbusier on the small scale and its later iterations (like your example with the Bottega Veneta chair) good design. Small, personalized structures are fine but it’s interesting how modernism has heralded a destruction of beauty for the common people in public spaces. Continuing with the train analogy, stations now are often made of impersonal glass and concrete-as are most public buildings. Our cities have been stripped of Georgian, Flemish, Italianate, Palladian, beaux arts, art nouveau, Art Deco, etc. architecture in favor of cheap-to-build structures lacking a human watermark, with fluorescent lighting, dropped ceilings, and cubicles meant to make people feel more like rats in a science experiment than people worthy of beauty. I guess it’s in part because architects are taught to always create something new, which translates to modernism and postmodernism rather than a new kind of artistic style whose decoration may be deemed “superfluous” and therefore unnecessary by the purveyors of taste.
Architecture’s demise falls in line with the degradation of the quality produced by the fashion industry. Fast fashion aside, in the 90s/2000s/2010s you could still go to a normal retailer (think madewell, j.crew, club monaco) and get 100% wool/cashmere/silk/leather pieces that were high quality. Now we have high-end designers substituting silk for viscose and polyester and still charging $2,000+ for these items. We’re at a point where only the very wealthy can afford good design and quality in our homes, public spaces, and for personal consumption. I’m hoping for a return to beauty, as the Aesthetic City movement is heralding. The country village that King Charles built, Poundsbury, is another good example. As for a retaliation within the fashion industry, maybe Gen Z’s love of vintage will put pressure on private equity owned fashion brands to once again prioritize quality. I think your decision to shop consignment is wise.
I love your comment.
Ohh so fascinating about the subway stations in St. Petersburg and Moscow. So many great points🙌 While I appreciate many aspects of modernism, the cutting corners, and lower grade materials and production have inspired a movement towards design and ideals of the past. I too appreciate Gen Z's appreciation towards vintage. Hoping fashion and design can learn from the past instead of seeking to destroy. Thank you so much for your perspective Stella❤❤❤
what an interesting video essay that links fashion to architecture! great selections of Le Corbusier's projects as well as the fashion shows that took place in these beautiful spaces.
Raf Simons also was trained as an architect, there are many others in fashion industry
ROKSANDA has a stunning collection, didn't know this designer, thanks for introducing her to us!
I know!! What a beautiful collection❤
I love this really informative videos you do
Thank you so much❤
Great video!
Thank you for watching Jacqueline❤
I’m not familiar with Le Corbusier but I can’t definitely see the reference in Bottega’s recent collection or the previous few collections too. I can also see it in The Row also, but it seems to lean more neutral in colors than Bottega. Wonderful topic Mary, I am now intrigued.
Yes definitely see the inspiration with The Row & BV. Thank you so much for watching Isaac!
Wonderful video! Mainly unrelated, but those clips of 2014 Chanel make me even more dismayed about today's Chanel collections.
Ohh yess.. It's really tragic what has happened to Chanel. Thank you so much for watching❤
This veiwer loves the magical music of World Class Jazz & Pop Vocalist - Ms. Angelina Jordan... in 2025 to see her Model and share fine Music...
The problem with Chanel is that the price has gone up and creativity is down and the bag quality is in hell, it’s crazy that they sell bags for that price and the bags are crooked from the store.
Great point!! I don't even look at Chanel for fashion
@@MarysRoom i feel that
When The Row and Bottega reference Le Corbusier it's sincere. Chanel no. That last show was dreadful.
😂 😂 😂
