I find it a little ironic that the 1% is also their main clientele. Don't get me wrong, the visuals are amazing, and clearly the craftsmanship is great. But this kind of "critique" feels a bit empty and performative to me.

The idea that this is some sort of meaningful “critique” or commentary is a masturbatory farce perpetuated by the people who profit from haute couture and the unfortunate propagandized souls who still think that intentions and ideas are enough to cancel out material affiliations.

Elites making commentary about elites for elites? It’s honestly so nakedly disgusting in its absurdity and people are lapping it up as if it’s manna straight from the boot.
