00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: And we launched this series, if you will last week

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: and Greedy Little Gobblers.

00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: for the feedback.

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: It was so positive.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: We're so excited because it's really fun, Like I had

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: so much fun recording last week's episode, and I'm really

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: excited to jump into this week's topics. Yeah, News Arrivals

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: number one Millennial Core is back.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: Yes, you might not be saying that by the end

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: of this segment.

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just realized what you're talking about.

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: So peplam was the first amongst the rise of the

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and tens, if you will, millennial core, and

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: it was seen on celebrities like Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman Zendeya.

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: And it's definitely a little bit more reimagined and a

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: little bit modernized. And I think that's the string of

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: consistency that we can see with trend cycles, Like when

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: a trend comes back, it's always reimagined some way.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: Like look at ballet flats for example.

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: They were very much a two thousand and twenty tens

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: millennial core esque vibe, but very much modernized in some ways.

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Some of them are tried and true to the olden days,

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: but they were definitely modernized to kind of have a

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a twist.

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: And I think that is the point of trends, because

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: it's like, no, but it's different exactly. No, but you

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: don't own this. That's so you can't pull it out

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: of your garage because it's different.

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Whilst Peplin had its time in the sun, I would say.

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 2: Maybe six months ago.

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Yep. This week, the bandage dress is back House of

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: CAB's latest collection has just dropped, with a number of

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: different styles of bandage dresses. The collection includes an array

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: of colors, including your neutrals like black and cream white,

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: but also your greens, oranges and pinks.

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Very two thousand.

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: And tens core Paris Hilton even commented on one of

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: their posts celebrating with some emojis, and there are definitely

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: some thoughts, feelings, and emotions and there's very few in

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the middle. The collection starts at three hundred and one dollars.

55
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: Aud Wow, but I'm like, how long until we see

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 4: this on Princess poly for one hundred and thirty bucks?

57
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: Agreed?

58
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I think House of CB like consistently has a high

59
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: price tag. Do I think a bandage dress needs to

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: be three hundred.

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Dollars I'm not sure.

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but that's also their branding, you know,

63
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: so true. Yeah, like they're probably not going to all

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden drop like a super affordable dress. But

65
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: also I do wonder does a bandage dress need to

66
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: be of high quality for the structure, because it has

67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: a very specific.

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: Shape it does.

69
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I looked into the fabric and fiber composition what have

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: we got?

71
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,279
Speaker 2: And it was pretty.

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: Dominantly a nylon elastine blend, which we're not designers or buyers.

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: So you know, we're not going to say that we

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: know exactly what these costs to make, but traditionally those

75
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: fibers haven't necessarily come with a high price tag to

76
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: construct a garment. Again, we don't know what the cost

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: of construction is in their warehouse or whatever that is,

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's fair to say there's a pretty

79
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: hefty mark up there.

80
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent.

81
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: So if you're unfamiliar with the icon, and I do

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: believe it is an icon, that is the bandage dress.

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: It was a twenty tens staple worn by the likes

84
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: of Kim Kardashian, Rhianna, Miranda Ker and every millennial going

85
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: out into the CBD with the girls and their sky

86
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: high stiletto heels.

87
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: Did you ever wear a band stress?

88
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: I was an emo, So no, it doesn't sit in

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: my aesthetic and never has, and I don't think it

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: ever will. I don't think I could ever styl it

91
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: in a way that I would feel like myself, but

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: I do recall like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna wearing them

93
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: and like thinking it looked amazing on them.

94
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: The reviews are very mixed, and I would go as

95
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: far to say that this launch has been a success

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: for the brand. While I haven't seen any of the

97
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: items sold out at the time of this recording, the

98
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: social likes versus the comments has been misbalanced. One of

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: the posts about the Bandage Stress collection had thirty two

100
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: thousand likes wow, and one hundred and twenty three comments.

101
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Now the comments are very mixed, some saying millennial core

102
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: is back. Am I the only one who thinks bandage

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: stresses look cheap?

104
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?

105
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Understand it's to appreciate where you started, but it feels

106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: off brandy current persona.

107
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: Another one said House of CB is my favorite.

108
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: Please don't do this to yourselves, And then there were

109
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: also other comments saying I love it, vibes, vibes vibes,

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: another one saying why are people saying it doesn't feel

111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: on brand?

112
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: You clearly don't know the brand.

113
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Then and finally, I'm born in ninety four, I'm here

114
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: for the comeback. When we posted it on our own

115
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: page alerting to the rise, the sentiment was similarly the same,

116
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: potentially more skewing towards please God know, Yeah, yeah, I

117
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: think the reviews on this are mixed, like people are

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: either for it or against it, and that is very

119
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: common when it comes to trends. I was thinking about

120
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: this and I when I first.

121
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: Saw it, I was on the yol did you ever

122
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: wear one? I did? Okay, I did, feeling I was

123
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: from a flashback h To.

124
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: Be honest, I loved mine back then, like I didn't

125
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: dislike it. I felt very hot in my bandage dress

126
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: back then. It's not necessarily something that I would wear

127
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: now my style evolution has very much changed. I could

128
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: potentially get around like a chocolate brown bandage tank top

129
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: that I could see as like a modernized version of it,

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: that's like a superstructured tank. Yeah, that's in a color that's.

131
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: A little bit less millennial.

132
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: But it's not necessarily something that I ran to the

133
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: house of C. B Side to purchase to continue. And

134
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: this is the secret I have been keeping to you

135
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: on the fact that millennial core is back. The final

136
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: trend that has been called out to have its resurgence

137
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: is that neon is back. According to Vogue Australia.

138
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Oh what are we talking?

139
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: So?

140
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: The publication's recent feature highlights the resurgence of neon in

141
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: contemporary fashion, with designers such as Memeu and Prada, who

142
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: are embracing fluorescent shades, think electric pinks, luminous screens, and

143
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: radiant yellows to infuse energy and optimism into their collections.

144
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: And it's very much high fashion at the moment. I'm

145
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: not necessarily sure we've seen this filtered down into everyday stores.

146
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: Yet, and I'm not really sure when we will. What

147
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: are your thoughts.

148
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: I think it's so interesting, but I just think these

149
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: things do happen in cycles, because for the last few years,

150
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: old money, quiet, luxury capsule wardrobe has been the trend,

151
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: and this is the reverse of that, and I think

152
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: we see that happen time and time again in fashion.

153
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 4: It was like in the seventies, boho and flowy and

154
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: natural hues.

155
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: Was in fashion.

156
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: Then in the eighties it was all about big, exaggerated

157
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: silhouettes and neon and color. Then in the nineties it

158
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: was no, let's go muted again, but we're going grungy.

159
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: Then in the two thousands it was no, everything's bubblegum pink.

160
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: Like, we see this kind.

161
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: Of rebellion against what's been in fashion in the previous

162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: season happened time and time again. But with the way

163
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: that the fashion cycles work. Now they're happening so much quicker.

164
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: It's so it happens so quick. So rather than it

165
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: being a decade that represents it's like one year. Yeah,

166
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: a decade that represents an entire sort of aesthetic. Now

167
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 4: it's yeah, perhaps even just a season. So I wouldn't

168
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 4: be surprised if this is something that we see in

169
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: our fast fashion retailers. By the time spring and summer

170
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 4: comes around, well, it's already in pop culture. Look at

171
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 4: brat Summer so true at how neon green was the

172
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: color for an entire year and still continues to reign supreme.

173
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: We've also seen Addison Ray in her latest album featuring

174
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: neon pink hair, and it's kind of being seen within

175
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: green micro shorts and pink ballet flats. That, yeah, millennial

176
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: core is having a resurgence from the fashion graveyard, and

177
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: I'm scared. I'm interested to see how this arises, because,

178
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: as always with trends, we take the stance that you

179
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: have free will, you can wear whatever you want. Do

180
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: you need to wear every single trend?

181
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: No?

182
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Do you need to feel like you can't play around

183
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: with trends because they're bad and vilified. Also, no, you're

184
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: allowed to have self expression and experiment in the goals

185
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: of finding things that do fit your style, personality and

186
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: what makes you feel good and fun and.

187
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: If that's Fluo Pink pop off.

188
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 4: News Arrivals Number two Balenciaga drops Britney Spears merch collaboration

Speaker 2: What what was in the playlist?

195
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: The ultimate accessory remixes of Britney?

196
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: Were they fresh songs?

197
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: No, they're not fresh songs, They're just remixes of Britney

198
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: hits that new remixes, Yeah, I believe, so okay, Yeah,

Speaker 4: and those are free and available to the public. But

200
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 4: thought it was an interesting yeah, very much say interesting inclusion.

201
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay. So this collection.

202
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: Marks Demna's last with Balenciaga before moving to his new

203
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: role as artistic director of Gucci. So so an interesting

204
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: legacy to leave behind. And when I first saw this,

205
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: I wondered, is Britney involved in this collaboration, and I

206
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: think with her conservativeship and you know a lot of

207
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 4: those things in the past, I wasn't the only person

208
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: having this question, but she apparently is involved, and she

209
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: made this statement in the press release. I have always

210
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: loved fashion and was so honored and excited Balenciaga and

211
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: Demna chose to collaborate with me on Demna's last collection

212
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: with the House, Britney said in the statement, adding I

213
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: hope my fans love it as much as I do.

214
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: These are some of my favorite images from such an

215
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: amazing time in my career and life, and I'm so

216
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: excited to share it with everyone.

217
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: So the images on the.

218
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: Merge, Yeah, what's in the merch?

219
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's a series of T shirts.

220
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: Also saying merch in relation to Balenciaga is kind of wild.

221
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really interesting.

222
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: So the collection includes a series of T shirts, hoodies,

223
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: and caps, the majority of which are like graphic T shirts.

224
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: They either have a picture of.

225
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 4: Britney or like the Britney Spears logo that we were

226
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 4: used to seeing in the two thousands that was on

227
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: our album artwork, or when you brought merch back in

228
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: the day, yeah, and the images are pulled from a

229
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 4: two thousand and four Blender magazine shoot.

230
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: They're pretty iconic images. I would definitely rock one on

231
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: a T shirt.

232
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: However, unsurprisingly, the collection has received quite a bit of

233
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: critique because.

234
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: Of the price point.

235
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's run through how much the Britney, Spears

236
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: and Balenciaga collaboration costs. So the range includes T shirts

237
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: starting at twelve hundred and fifty dollars, distress caps from

238
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 4: eighteen ninety.

239
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and ninety.

240
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: Dollars, hoodies from two thousand, two hundred and ninety dollars,

241
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: and flags Flags Flags.

242
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 3: For almost fifteen hundred dollars.

243
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: That is robbery, Yeah.

244
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: I will say, I did say on a post published

245
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: on the Diet Prata instagram page about the collaboration. One

246
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: of the top comments on the post said it's giving

247
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: h and M merch loll and that had almost twelve

248
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: hundred likes, which I do think a lot of people

249
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: are saying, they're like, well.

250
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: It's exactly what's the difference between this and me going

251
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and buying a.

252
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: T shirt with Brittany on it.

253
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: I think the difference is, you know, Britney's been involved

254
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: in this one personally and closely, which you know she

255
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't have that for a really long time. Yeah.

256
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: I will say, like, the shirts do look incredible quality.

257
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: Hundred, but not for I wonder if this is an

258
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: attempt for Balenciaga to move out of basically they're canceled

259
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: situation that they've had from very rightfully so negative media.

260
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

261
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: Well that was the first thing that I thought when

262
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: I saw the collaboration as well, and we're not alone

263
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: on that same diet Pritor post. The caption was can

264
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: Brittany uncancel Balenciaga? Question mark loll so to refresh your

265
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: memory if you don't remember to reass through Balenciaga was

266
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: canceled because yeah, it's hard to keep up with cancel culture,

267
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: but this one did cause quite a stir, and I

268
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: think for good reason. So to refresh your memory. The

269
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: high fashion brand was canceled in late twenty twenty two

270
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: after releasing controversial ad campaigns featuring children holding Teddy Bears

271
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: in BDSM style outfits, and then also in another campaign,

272
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: it featured court documents in an office flat lay setting

273
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: that related to child exploitation, sparking widespread backlash over perceived

274
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: inappropriate messaging and lack of oversight. So it was these

275
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: two things that happened very closely to each other, and

276
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: everybody was like, what the fuck Balenciaga? Literally, And the

277
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: thing is is that these things have to pass through

278
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: so many hands that I'm like, who, why wasn't there

279
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,359
Speaker 4: somebody on set combing through that document reading every single line?

280
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: Like why wasn't this a bespoke document made in house

281
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: that was about Balenciaga, Like, you guys can.

282
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: Afford to have the people checking.

283
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're charging literally a kidney for a T shirt.

284
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can afford to have so many fact checking

285
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: the documents in your campaigns. And then that doesn't even

286
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: touch on the fact that you have images of children

287
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: wearing harnesses and is yu kid It's yeah, so rightfully.

288
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: So I think a lot of people were really really outraged.

289
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Did they go to ground? Like did they kind of

290
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: go to ground for a bit after that? And then

291
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: when we were talking about this earlier this week, we

292
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: were kind of talking about how they then did that

293
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: outdoor runway, yeah, which Kim Kardashian was at.

294
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: So it's really interesting because I thought the same thing.

295
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I feel like Balenciaga went to

296
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: ground and we hadn't heard from them for a while,

297
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: and then people just sort of slowly started peppering it

298
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: back in right.

299
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: But then when I was looking back.

300
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 4: Over it, I was like, late twenty twenty two wasn't

301
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 4: that long ago? And in the Amedia aftermath, Balenciaga and

302
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: Damna did issue apologies for the apparent oversight, so they

303
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 4: were so sorry, that's not the intention of the campaign,

304
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 4: accepted responsibility, YadA, YadA, YadA. And then Kim Kardashian was

305
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: also pressured at the time to make a statement because

306
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: she has been a long time muse for the brand

307
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: and is constantly in their campaigns wearing their clothes and

308
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: has been associated with the brand for a long time.

309
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 4: And I think also as a mum, people like, what

310
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 4: the fuck, like, you need to say something and expected

311
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: her to speak upon it, and she did, and she

312
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: said that she was reconsidering her alignment with the brand

313
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: and that she thought it was very disturbing. However, you

314
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: mentioned this runway, yeah, which we saw, and that was

315
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: in late twenty twenty three, So that was the Balenciaga

316
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 4: fool show, and that was the one that was quite

317
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: iconic at the time, but I think also did cause

318
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 4: quite disturb because it was soon after all of this

319
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 4: controversy and the campaign was an ode to like Hollywood

320
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 4: two thousand's iconic moments. So it was a runway outside

321
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 4: on the streets of Hollywood with like the Hollywood Sign

322
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: in the background, the palm trees, like very iconic visually,

323
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: But we saw Kim Kardashi in there, Kendall Jenner was there,

324
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: Nicole Kidman was there, and Samahayak was there as well

325
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: as a bunch of other well known celebs. So that

326
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 4: was only a year after that, and people were still

327
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: like supportive of.

328
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: Brand and going to their events.

329
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: And then we've also seen Kim like wearing Balenciaga still

330
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: since then and has been, you know, like posting in

331
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 4: her Instagram going to red carpet events and not not

332
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 4: wearing Balenciaga last year. She was also the face of

333
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: the bel Air handbag campaign in October twenty twenty four.

334
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: So I'm not really sure because she said that she was, yeah,

335
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: reevaluating her alignment with the brand, but it seems like

336
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 4: maybe she took a few months off but then immediately

337
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: has been working with them, so I'm not sure what's

338
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: happened what behind the scenes.

339
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Theems like is that Balenciaga is using such big name

340
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: celebrities to potentially drown out the media backlash that resulted

341
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: after that campaign and collection. And yeah, I think diet

342
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Prata's caption kind of is the question really.

343
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just wonder if you want to uncancel

344
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: your brand is a collaboration with Britney Spears with price

345
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: points starting at fifteen hundred dollars going to do that?

346
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: Interesting, We'll see, okay.

347
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: And then to wrap up the episode with our final

348
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: news arrivals of the week is that end of financial

349
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: year is in full swing. Normally we start seeing midyear

350
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: sales dropping within the last week of June. However, we

351
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: saw these sales dropping as early as the end of May.

352
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: And not to be dramatic, but I think some of

353
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: these sales are just as good, if not better than

354
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: Black Friday and End of financial year sales are basically

355
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: for brands to move old stock or stock they have

356
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: too much of, in order to make more room for

357
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: the new financial year. It's a goal to either make

358
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: more money before the financial year runs out or move

359
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: more stock out so that they can make more money

360
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: in the new financial year. And we've seen brands going

361
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: on sale that we see every year, but also some

362
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: brands offering deals that are better and also brands having

363
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: deals had a worse So we've seen the very consistent

364
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: sales from David Jones who are offering twenty to fifty

365
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: percent off fashion, home, beauty and more, Maya who have

366
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: up to fifty percent with their stock take sale. We've

367
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: seen h and M offering up to fifty percent off

368
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and Lulu Lemon with up to fifty percent off. However,

369
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: we've also seen brands like Dish offering twenty percent off

370
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: sitewide including sale items, which is not common for brands.

371
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: But the other one that is absolutely underrated that I

372
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen people discussing is Style Runner. Style Runner have

373
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: an up to fifty percent off mid year sale with

374
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: so many cult favorite brands, think New Balance and all

375
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: your favorite wear brands. Star Runner have such a great

376
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: sale selection because a lot of the time with end

377
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: of financial year sales, people think it's going to be

378
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: all the old shit the barrel, bottom of the barrel.

379
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: Sephora have beauty blenders for fourteen dollars.

380
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: There are new balanced sneakers for sixty dollars.

381
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Also on the dome there are half price added as sneakers.

382
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: And end of financial year sales is a great time

383
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: to restock on items in your wardrobe that you haven't

384
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: necessarily had the chance to renew. I would say I

385
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: talk about it like it's stock, because it is, but

386
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: it's a great way to get.

387
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: Ahead of those items.

388
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: It's also the perfect time to stock up on white

389
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: goods and furniture. So freedom is having a bunch of

390
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: sales the good guys Bingley and remembering that you can

391
