- TikTok has become a true fashion hub and it has become a destination for designers to showcase their work, but also learn how to create as well! From cut and sew dresses to beautiful and intricate crochets there are so many techniques and styles to see! And getting to see both young fashion brands and just hobbyist designers is also so wonder and runs the gambit of the creativity of fashion!

I love that Luke doesn't know the difference between knit and crochet. It's nice to know my fashion hero doesn't know everything! 😂
😂
I came here to say the same thing!
He referred to the pattern as knit not the entire thing. I am sure he is aware of what crochet is.
Ran to the comments to see who else would mention this
@Sammy-sm4yg none of that was knitting. The only time he was correct with knitting was talking about how fabric is made and why it frays.
If i'm not mistaken, Antoine Guerin (the tiktoker that made that fine-ass pleat corset dress) now works at Mugler
thats so cool!
Oh good for him, his dress was stunning, amazing work
Yep! He certainly does! So happy for him 😊
I just googled him and he is an independent label doing this own thing in Paris.
Idk him and I’m happy for him
Screaming “CROCHET” every time Luke calls it knitting 😂
Hahaha 🤣 I think a lot of us were doing the same. At least I was!
Luke’s so knowledgeable though that when he gets something wrong I don’t really even note it lol
I tried not to give a crap but as a hooker I can't 😂
And the crocheting lady saying “crocheting my life away” and him saying “and the knit is nice” exactly at the same time.
Yes. Most people don’t understand the difference.
Luke stopping there to praise the shirtless antoine and his design 😅
I am here for it.
The chain going into the corset at 04:54 is a type of steel boning. It's coiled like that to provide more fluidity of movement (bendyness) for the steel, and maximum comfort for the wearer. ❤
Thank you for explaining, that’s really cool
I have some mid century garments with this kind of boning.
@@itzel1735 that's cool, I'm used to seeing older garments in my research that used whale baleen, aluminum, or even DIY type materials like broom grass or balsam. But any modern corset worth its salt has steel boning, either flat steels or coiled, like this one.
Indeed! Spiral steel boning. It's fantastic stuff. I just made a dress utilizing it in the bodice, and it provides remarkable structural support. More prep work than rigaline or nylon boning, but the results are top notch.
THANK YOU!!!!! I was about to comment this exact thing myself
Do more of these. This type of video is perfect. You're happy which is contagious. It takes a break from celebs and gives real artists a shout. It's inspiring and gives lots of good ideas to other artists -- but you can still relate it to other recent pop culture looks, trends, or runway looks for the ~knowledge~ portion.
Do more of these!
I agree
Metal boning (what he called chains) is really great, we use it all the time in theatrical sewing so that corsets can be worn until the fabric disintegrates. Lol
I love how when he's reacting to these creators, he's supportive even if the finished product isn't something he likes, because Luke understands skill, but then there's something that he actually loves and he's just "ahhh stunning, love, beautiful"
it reminds me of how gordon ramsay is mean to professional chefs but so kind to the kid chefs just for trying lmao
One thing I don't think gets talked about enough in these spaces is reusing sheets. There's a debate about using plus sized clothes to fit slimmer folks, but bedsheets are just cuts of cotton or nylon ready to go!! :) I once used bedsheets to make a pleated skirt for a cosplay because it was the only fabric I could find in the obnoxious red shade I needed.
I LOVE THIS. Not only do you put a spotlight on independent fashion designers and slow fashion , which is absolutely fab, but you also help the public understand that making clothes takes a lot of effort, research, time and patience contrary to fast fashion who make cheep clothes exploiting very low wage workers (slaves).
Actually crocheting and knitting are different things. With crochet you have a single hook and actually knot the yarn, it can't be replicated by machine due to the complex handmovements and rotations. Knitting uses two needles, most fabrics are either woven or machine-knitted nowadays.
Lots of love to the people who do either, just wanted to let you know in case anyone is interested 😊

"Don't support Shein" - Luke Meagher
Gotta love the Shein defenders, “But it’s so cheap it’s the only way I can afford clothes” … like have you been to your local Value Village to find most items for sale are in fact Shein????
You are so right!
I would kill to watch a video of Luke attempting to make a garment, maybe with the help of someone who does sew, because as someone who does make my own clothes it’s wild to see how much he knows about the fashion world, but not as much about actually making clothing (or maybe that’s just my assumption), it would be really cool to see him learn these things firsthand though 😂
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought that this was going to be a roast of these designers, but I was so delighted by the genuine warmth and appreciation of the designers efforts. So fun to watch you cheering on and celebrating these creators!
This was fun, Luke. Fun fact...crochet cannot be done by machine. Knit can, knitting machines make most sweaters and you can buy knit yardage but crochet (which they were doing in both videos) can not be duplicated by machine. It is faster to crochet than to knit which is one of the reasons it became popular.
I love the tiktok that showed all the issues and mistakes and how much work sewing is! I appreciate the vunerablity
isn't that the beauty of sewing things yourself? you might make a mistake or realize you want it to be a bit different after a first try, so you simply alter it as you go.
The "chains" in the corset were spiral boning. Spiral boning allows for flexibility in more directions. I always love your reviews...you're so complimentary of everyone's work.
Can we have someone give Luke a sewing lesson on video, cuz I want to see him beam after making his own tote bag.
I enjoyed watching this too! I appreciate how supportive you are of the designers - I was expecting some to get dragged lol BTW - the one lady was crocheting NOT knitting :)
Jackal?
Madebytamari and spiceambie are crocheters
For anyone curious, in the corset at 4:45 they are using steel boning (not chains) the advantage of steel boning vs plastic ist that the steelboning ist flexible side to side, so it can support curved seams much better. Plastic boning will curve only in the direction where its flat and not side to side, if you know what i mean.
Great catch. The Spiral Steel boning gives that side to side flexibility whereas steel boning does not flex
right lol i knew i was on to something, i have never used it. so far i have used rigeline which is much less stable and made from plastic. @@PatDooley50
Love learning new things!
I re-watched that a few times like?? What chains I only see normal steel boning?? I didn't realise he would confuse them lol
Awesome video!! Please do more videos showcasing creativity! This is better than touring influencer closets. We learn things and it's inspiring!
Agreed! This was fun. Reminded me of all the clothes I made for myself from a pre-teen into my mid 20s.
@@stephaniedouglasaviewfroma9596 Oh, I wish I could make my own clothes! I enjoy learning about the construction of clothes. More, please!
it is awesome that people do their own clothes ! during the XXth century, being a dressmaker had allowed poor women to earn some money and raise their families, and also helped a lot of women to have their own style before "prêt à porter", departments stores and fast fashion. Coco Chanel herself was very proud (and then pissed) to be copied by thousands of dressmakers (couturières).
If you are not a "couturière", you can sew a button on a shirt, patch a moth hole on a sweater, there are a lot of funny patches on line, so you can wear an outfit for two or three more years and customize instead of buying cheap stuff. This is very creative and on the green side for environment. Vivien Westwood when she began with the punk fashion was very much about DIY !!
Sew not sow :)
@@NatalieSanguis sorry for the errors, I am French, English is not my maternal language, I am very sensitive to this kind of errors, I learnt irregular verbs when I was at school, but I forgot some of them ! thank you, I take good note !
@@tarantellalarouge7632 sow existe mais veut dire semer
I love watching you be critical of professionals and celebrities. I had no idea you would be so supportive of the amateurs. This video is my absolute favorite that you have done. Bravo!
In case anyone was wondering, the "chaining" in the corset dress is spiral steal boning.
“Spiral steel boning”. Nothing stolen here.

I love seeing Luke so giddy and excited :D
Love promoting folks sewing their own clothes!!
I got back into sewing during COVID (I had been taught when I was little by my obaachan since she had been a seamstress after coming from Japan) and it changed the way I see clothing now since I know what fits my body measurements and how to alter it to fit (I have an abnormally long torso so nothing fits right off the rack most times lol). It seems intimidating, but you just gotta jump in and try things!
Once again, Luke happy makes me happy.
The metal "chain" in Antoine Guerin's gown is called spiral steel boning. It is stronger and more durable yet still flexible compared to plastic boning. It is used to provide structure and support to a garment, not as a weight.
Hey Luke I'd love to see recommendations from you on how to build a sustainable and fashionable wardrobe for the everyday individual. You have so many good insights into the industry, and a guide to navigating that space would be so appreciated. Love your content!
Watching while tailoring a shirt I thrifted. I love Luke’s enthusiasm. I didn’t expect to take it personally but I’m feeling way better about my own hand-embroidered shirt thanks to his encouragement for these incredible designers
So much talent! I would love to see this group create fashion to be worn for the MET Gala. Bet that the reveals would all be ON theme along with being supremely creative.
more of these please love seeing small creators!
I love how Luke gives props and is so happy to view the beautiful creativity of these featured artists!
This is the best critique by far. Love the whole vibe from Luke and showcasing the fantastic fun work of these people. Please do more of these. 😊
PROTIP: if you use very thin pins (like silk pins) you can actually sew over them because they will bend instead of breaking your needle :D
You are so funny Luke. You got the gift of gab good taste and knowing your craft.
The corset used spiral steel boning which is more elastic than other types of boning (it is hard to warp and always springs back into it's original shape.)
Luke - would you consider publishing a list of all of your books for us channel members? 😃
I would intern to catalog his library - for free!
That’s a great idea!
Spiral steel on the corset. Gives it shape, keeps it sturdy but still allows for movement.
Some of these diy designers are making things wayyyyy more beautiful than some of the red carpet looks you review😊

I love that Luke is presenting the finest of homemade clothes designers! Please keep making such videos :))))
My grandma once told me that knitting and knitting machines were the inspiration behind bio art code. I have no idea if she is right but it’s fun to believe that one of the most basic skills my family has learned for generations is foundational not only to fashion but to the functioning of society as I know it.
I think it was jacquard weaving cards, not knit.
I went to a museum that showed some of the crossover between code and weaving
I've been wanting to make my own clothes lately. I'm a bit fluffy, and i feel like clothes just don't fit right and make me look frumpy. This is good inspiration!
That blue hooded dress was GORGEOUS.
This was such a wholesome and inspiring video, I love seeing so many impressive creators!
I love this kind of content mixed in with the celeb/high end content! Thanks HauteLeMode!!
i love how supportive you are of all of them, it's always nice to see some positive reaction content
That was amazing! I always start sewing but never finish. Please do this again. I just am amazed at how well everyone can cut, manipulate fabric and sew so well.
Such creativity! It inspires me to get back into sewing again.
Luke’s little happy dance at 19:39 too cute 🥰
www.youtube.com/@GMFASHION5113
Uhh I really enjoyed watching this. I'm sewing a lot of my clothes and seeing you appreciating that work makes me so happy!
Better designs than big houses... shooked!
Luke’s childhood trauma comes through in tidbits in each video 😂
In this video, maybe too much Adderall was coming through!
Ms. Crochet did that. I bought something similar for like $50 last year 😢. Also loved the hooded look
tailor here ❤
seam allowance is used for pretty much all garments and is how you sew together a seam without it ripping apart. it's not used for example if you'd rather sew two seams together with a zigzag, or if you're working with fur or materials that can't be folded. seam allowance usually creates the cleanest and sturdiest look tho
spiral steel boning is quite usual in costume making, as it is a very flexible and sturdy option. it does however create some bulk, so synthetic baleen might be a better option if your garment is not under too much stress.
loveeee the talented sewing girlies so much inspiration! and thank you for the reminding that making clothes takes so so much time, effort and love❤
OMG Luke getting excited from the videos is so adorable. Amazing video
I’m watching this hand stitching the hem of a new miniskirt. You’re hyping me up so much right now lol
Really enjoyed watching this one. Happy for all of these young designers. Actually liked most of the dresses. It was amazing how quickly the young lady crocheted her outfit. Some of these required a lot of work.
watching luke get excited baout people making their own clothes brings me so much joy
Not just the gift of gab but a genuine love of fashion and a capacity to study its history and share it with us. Many thanks Luke.
Fabulous 👌 wish I could sew/knit/crochet like that! Really wish people appreciated the work that it involves and valued their clothing more.
It’s never too late to learn. I crocheted for r years, but never got the hang of knitting. In 2019 and in my late 50’s - I tried it again and figured it out!! Nothing fancy, lap blankets for my two grandkids and some infinity scarves.
@@stephaniedouglasaviewfroma9596www.youtube.com/@GMFASHION5113
Love how Luke is having a great time! It's way more fun to see you happy 😊
He is so funny, he is clearly into the dresses ,he was hysterical and he praised all the designer.
The boning in the black corseted dress is called spring steel boning as opposed to the flat steels that are usually used around the lacing and busk. The other quality boning you may see is synthetic whalebone. Sometimes jumbo zip ties are used as a cheap substitute.
Most lingerie and corset tops have domed plastic boning that is awful for comfort and maintaining it's shape.
Great video - I love to see the positivity. I hope you make more like this. I also love that there's a TikTok trend that everyone's grandma would approve of.
you have an amazing sense of fashion. Don't sell yourself short.
Luke we need more videos like this! The glow on your face is priceless!!!!! Love it!
When I was little, my mom made me a bunch of clothes, but even now as an adult, I come to her all the time with design ideas and she has made some crazy cool stuff! It's so fun being able to design things or customize things, or even just make a super cute dress fit properly! She taught me how to sew, but I'm not as good as her, lol
LOVED this episode! Thank you for featuring these talented folks!
Luke, you are more than the sum of your parts - your "gift of gab" is marvelous, as are you and primarily because you recognize others' talent and express that appreciation. xoxo
Watched this while making a dress for a wedding! Love Luke’s appreciation for the craft 😘
Great video...that black dress is to die for. I hope he realizes his dream in fashion. Thank you Haute...as always simply fabulous...❤
The "chains" you saw when they were constructing that corset is called steel boning and it's in that swirled or looped form to provide structure but not restriction.
This is such a fun video…thank you Luke and all the designers❤
It was so confusing - and endearing & delightful - to see you happy outside of a wedding dress reaction video, hahaha!
Luke saying "knit 1 purl 2" and talking about knitting needles when the person was crocheting made my day.
I adore your reactions. Not only because they are exactly what I'm thinking/feeling myself when watching these genius tiktok peeps, but because they're so muthafkin genuine and you can tell that its EXACTLY what you're feeling inside. so cute. so refreshing. I love. thank you.
This was so good ! Part 2 !!
I’m late on this one but I’m just now watching it and I can’t even finish it before I have to respond… OMG, please do more of these! These people are amazing! My little French boy is so stinking cute and talented and I love the blue dress with the Cowell neck. Luke, keep them coming.
I am loving your enthusiasm and your appreciation of beautiful work! It’s wonderful!❤

Thank I loved this video, and how supportive you are of creators! It almost makes me want to sew again. If only I could find a foot pedal sewing machine.
Loved this video and all your suggestions as well the explanations on why certain things were done. Love Love your critiques.!!!!!
I like to watch you review award shows and lately, you have been so underwhelmed. But I loved your excitement at these people making their own outfits and how happy you were at how you thought they were all so great. The first time I ever saw you like everything.
