Cruella (2021) Fashion Explained

You missed how the "garbage truck dress"'s train was a bunch of the Baroness' dresses sewn together, signifying that the Baroness' dresses are trash

They used punk fashion without making the character punk, she didn't want to rebel against the old hierarchy, she just wanted to get to the top of it

Alternate title: 30 minutes of Luke auditioning to be a consultant on the Cruella sequel

Luke serving us all the fashion history lessons and nitpicking on the questionable details is giving life to my history nerd heart.

People literally write dissertations that aren’t as good as this.

I understand she's Cruella and Cruella equals fur but I think it made perfect sense there wasn't any. The plot sets up her descent into villainary, to the point where she disregards morals for fashion. This is a gradual process not immediate and we see hints towards this in the film

" And to the fashion freaks.....it's a Disney movie, what were you expecting?" Best line EVER!!

I really wanted you to address this and you served.

This got flack at first cause ppl are too attached to Glenn Close's Cruella but heck it wasn't as bad as everyone thought it would be. Remember back in the day when Heath Ledger got tons of criticism for being casted as the joker after Jack Nicholson?

That inside out blazer moment was a direct lift from The Fresh Prince himself when he went to fancy prep school.

I appreciate that pushback on Liberty being "the most fashionable" store in 70's London. My mother always dressed me in Biba, as a little girl. I may well have been the best-dressed kid in the entire 70's, and photographic evidence backs me up. There's no way any Liberty-outfitted child could have competed with Biba-clad me. Thank you so much for all the work you put into your content. You could just dial it in and rely on charming presentation, but you put in the extra effort to be educational, as well. Thank you.

The fact that she didn’t wear a fur bothered me. Like that’s what was most impactful about her! I remember watching the original Disney movie cartoon and she had this gigantic coat that almost looked like a mane, it made her look so creepy cause combined with her posture it made her look almost animal like. People being scared of her sending a bad message by wearing fur… she’s literally a villain? Her name is Cruella ffs, why in hell would she be sending a good message? The whole animal rights issue could have been easily solved with synthetic fur. We see guns in movies all the time, I don’t like them I won’t buy one and the ones they use in the movie are fake why can’t the same basic logic be applied with fur as well

Even though people got obsessed with the whole fur missing thing, i really enjoyed the movie and i respect Disney for trying something different. Definitely a better live action than those shitty princess ones with a cast that couldnt even act or sing.

Micarah Tewers is going to love this video

the trash costume was boarderline experimental but in reality, SO ICONic. cruella realy stitched up the baronesses dresses from last season and weaponized them, a cotton, trash, and newspaper blend, damn, so iconic.

I love that you're exploring women's 90's corporate fashion 🙌

"...and hope nobody notices..." "well I'm annoying...and I did" this is a vibe. and same.

I lovee the fact that you called out the fashion history mistakes, just goes to show that filming studios now just ride on the name of the cast and ignore a lot of important details like the LV bag timeline, the Chanel haute couture mistake, etc

Now that Luke’s talked about cruella maybe he could do an Eurovision 2021 review ?

She wore a ‘fur’ for those who said she didn’t wear fur. It was when she wore dalmatian spot tops as mockery for the baroness that she killed her dogs (which is a fake fur and just mimics the pattern)
