Most Overpriced Designer?

[reese06]

I hope that beading on the Poppy bomber is done by Lesage because there is no design that went into the making of that.

I know beauty is subjective but I'm having a hard time imagining who would even covet that piece. It's not hype worthy, it's not particularly a standout piece from the collection. I don't get it

I want to say, even if I love him, that Jacquemus right now is kinda overpriced. I think that the quality and the execution is his last collection is not that great. I get that it’s contemporary but compared for example to Lutz for example...I’m not impressed.
All the experimentations on the tailoring can looks a bit silly when for example, you have a shoulder that doesn’t sit properly or things like that.

Moving from his geometric shapes is a challenge when it comes to construction.

Yes, it’s not Chanel or Tom Ford but with those prices, he could have been at least close to Sandro or Maje.

Oh I like that! The entire shirt is beaded. It's expensive, but the price seems right for that kind of work.

I always wonder, does employing some workers in India, give them adequate training, paying them a fair wage, helps reduce the price? I have seen some rather exquisite beading done for Indian traditional clothings before.
or Italians or French does it better necessarily?

I think there could be a thread for designer itens that really worth it. Sometimes i wish i could have opinions from experienced people for clothes I'm planning to buy

Everything on the Celine website right now. I know it’s Hedi Slimane, but come on, 500 dollars for a plain t-shirt?

Shirt $650,000.

Kim Jones tapped into Dior's storied history of whipping up otherworldly women's creations and applied it to the humble men's dress shirt. It took 15 people at Lemarié (Paris's last couture feather house) 900 hours to handcraft the pièce de résistance of his first collection: this impossibly lightweight button-up—hand-embroidered with 2,000 individual feathers. - GQ, April 2019

^Is this really the price? There are fully embroidered HC pieces for a lot less than that.

Omg I've been looking for this info for months now, ever since Alexander Fury posted a screenshot on his Instagram stories. I wasn't sure I read the price right and I never found it again. I guess I did read it right.

 

[Lola701]

If this is the actual price, the person buying it would be a fool!
Not even a made to measure leather shirt from Hermès could cost that!

It could be 65000€ but it might deserve a 6500€ price tag.
Dior women Haute Couture might be expensive but unless you buy the Junon or a vintage OTT Vintage piece with a lot of modification, in no way you’ll enter those type of prices.

^ Both really don't look very comfortable....

 

[mistress_f]

^ i know they don't look like it, but the dr. scholl's pair is actually very comfortable and
ergonomic and intended to help walk well / have good posture (they sell them in pharmacies over here!)

You can't really tell from the runway photo, but the furry sleeves thing is just that...two sleeves held together by two leather straps, coming with an eye-watering price tag of £7,000.
