After watching the viral video made by the channel ‪@RaisedMedia‬ I could not help but agree with some of the arguments there, while also feeling like more could be said about whether luxury fashion is for broke people. So, let’s talk about this in detail.

Do you think people from the lower classes vs the upper wealthy buy the same type of luxury? Do you believe in the dichotomy between new money and old money? Tell me your thoughts below!

Another video I made on the same subject:    • Luxury Brands Only Target Poor People!

    I don't know if it's worth buying anything from Gucci, Channel or other similar brands. At that price, you can get something custom made that's of superior quality.
  • Accepting one’s own class and helping each other within said class is smarter than competing against each other and pretending to be rich.

    Nothing about luxury is exclusive, all you need is money. They don't care if its inherited or credit card debt.

    As a millennial, this whole luxury discussion has been evolving my entire life. When I was a kid, before fast fashion and "luxury branding" became a thing, nobody was buying luxury (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Gucci etc) other than people who had a LOT of money. Perhaps they were old money or new money but they were actually rich. Not just upper middle class, but rich enough to live in "mansions" or go to exotic vacations twice a year. Now, I see young kids, not even teenagers, from lower income families talking about how they want to buy luxury. Social media have certainly played a part, but I also think that the fact that fast fashion made clothing completely "worthless" in many ways has definitely contributed to how luxury is regarded. No actual rich person would talk about "an investment bag" because they have actual investments that make them millions.

    I’m glad you mentioned that the wealth have their clothes custom made…as a college student, I worked in a luxury fabric store and saw this firsthand.
  • My mother taught me that logos on your clothes are trashy. She was a middle class accountant. True class can not be bought.
  • @sanvo3864
    No logos for me, quiet quality is my luxury. Real quality has no reason to be loud

    I personally hate labels on items. I will not be a walking billboard. I think the brand name on items is tacky
  • @zeideerskine3462
    Buying Louis Vuitton to show that you are not poor is ironic to the extreme as Louis Vuitton himself started his steamer trunk business as a homeless street urchin.

    These fashion houses have to stop hating on the working class. If they want loyalty then they have to stop being condescending.
  • @4gma59
    I think there's some confusion. Good quality should be the goal. Why would that be a ''Luxury"? Those who buy for status will never understand real quality and what to look for in an item.
  • Poor people who buy luxury keep them from accumulating real wealth. Agree totally. Logo clothing is low class to me. Quiet luxury is my mantra.

    i LOVE that sucession always appears on these stealth wealth/old money videos... and they are super new money! the patriarch is a hick from rural australia!
  • @ericp1139
    In Succession, the Roy’s would actually be considered “new money.” The Pierces are “old money.”
  • @piercenigel4670
    watching your video, i just remembered being a child, seeing a t-shirt, saying "i want that", turning to see the the back, a giant logo there, and me going "ew!" a lifetime of quiet luxury ahahahahah
  • @aitaisakura4281
    As a fashion lover, yes luxury fashion is for all people. You cannot afford it, buy the vintage or preloved one. Not fakes. But ngl sometimes fakes looks so real that it is easier to buy fake
  • @Fidi987
    Luxury is something you want and don't need. It should be something you want yourself, not something you buy to keep up with others. It should be something that has a personal meaning to you.
  • @cherylM.905
    Wealth is quiet, rich is loud. Just as class isn’t demanding, entitlement…well we know😉
  • @Rachelleluluful
    Logos are for nouveau riche and quiet luxury is for old money(generational wealth). At least that’s the impression I get. People born into wealth just don’t think about trying to appear wealthy. They don’t need to prove anything cuz they’ve known they’re wealthy their whole lives. People who grew up poor or middle class like to show their labels and logos to look rich cuz deep down they still feel poor or middle class.
