Most Overpriced Designer?

[FashionPower]

How do we feel about Schiaparelli by Roseberry prices? Those price tags are verging on CHANEL ready to wear if you ask me...
- Fully embroidered gown: 18k...looks reasonable, considering the Dior gowns with basic appliques embroidered in India that I posted few days ago retails at 15k. If this dress was by CHANEL it would be price upon request on the website and at least 30k LOL



- The basic ready to wear pieces are totally overpriced and even worse than CHANEL: 7k for a basic leather skirt? Come on...the bags prices are also ridicolous, they are priced like a timeless classic from CHANEL and a Birkin...

I didn't know that. Probably sold for a banana's worth of the brand's price.

As for the mafias, they seem less greedy than the Arnaults of europe

It’s very expensive but it’s coherent.
The production and distribution are fairly limited, it’s coherent to the positioning as it is so linked to the couture.
A lot of products are tacky but at least, with this positioning, they won’t pollute the market.

We saw it with Balmain by Decarnin. The prices were insane but they reflected the reality of Balmain at the time. It was literally a Couture atelier making RTW and a very small production entity to facilitate.

And Balmain RTW was more expensive than Chanel RTW at some point. But are they comparable? Balenciaga RTW under Nicolas was sometimes at the prices of Chanel HC.

I think it’s clever for Schiaparelli but at the same time, the avenues for expansion are not wild. I think eyewear and perfumes would be the entry-priced items for them in the future.

Whats the point of even making a coat like that? It will never sell.

I just bought it on Yoox for $129.99!!!

Might have believed you if you posted that before the mytheresa acquisition which just finalized. Haha

Everyone on TikTok is complaining about how the party is over at yoox and the sale finds are slim to none now. More merchandise to just sit in warehouses.

How does that work?

Isn’t the point of Yoox to offload garments nobody wants and/or in strange sizes at steep discounts, with a low-cost business model?

If the prices weren’t good nobody would buy anything.

Since when Dolce got the CHANEL Couture treatment? 85k for termostrass?
You can really get a full CHANEL Couture experience with fittings at Rue Cambon and personalized sketches and packaging for much less

And it doesn't include the belt which is $11,000 USD.

That dress is terribly basic for what it is intended to be paying homage to.

it is really precious and are cristals, you can cut them and sell them as neckackes

LOL DIOR.
Half a velvet jacket for $5900AUD? A denim (cotton) dress for $9000AUD? No wonder their sales are starting to crash. The clientele is waking up to the stupidity of these price points. You can buy actual vintage Dior Haute Couture for this price! And one of a kind. Not something you will find on the rack in every single Dior boutique and online store.

I partially disagree, that kind of chemisier dress cinched at the waist it's one of Maria Grazia's core ready to wear items, definitely a best seller after the logo tshirts, the jackets and the skirts. It's literally the perfect ensemble for a rich Karen who doesn't like CHANEL tweed. It's suitable for so many different occasions: gardening, grocery shopping, strolling by the beach, travelling...sure it's overpriced and most likely marked up between 20x and 40x, but it's definitely a bestseller.

they were made by burton before her at mcqueen and for a fraction of the price and x4 better than the tailoring of dior.

Oh I was asking which first lady of which country ? Maybe Brigitte Macron or another one.
Glorified escorts don't count, though they are definitely one of Dior targeted demographic.

First Escort could make Dior great again...

Four more years of these people by the way she does not wear American designers

She wears Ralph Lauren and her own stylist right?
She has never worn Michael Kors?

I wonder if she will get the fashion magazine cover she so much wants.

Please don't stone me 🤭😅 but I prefer Melania's dress over the Dior.
Melania's is flattering, it looks light and it has a certain nonchalant-but-elegant-Carolina-Herrera vibe to it.
Whereas the Dior looks heavy and the belt is the opposite of refinement.
It looks like a Carhartt special edition.
