Episode notes
Vintage, Custom Fashion Dominates Wedding
- Guests at the Bezos-Sánchez wedding mostly wore vintage or custom fashion, not just head-to-toe high-end designers.
- This reflects a shift where wealthy luxury buyers seek uniqueness over standard designer pieces.
Weddings Not Red Carpet Events
- Weddings, unlike award shows, rarely become red carpet moments for designers to showcase free or borrowed gowns.
- Luxury brands may not seek to outfit celebrities like Lauren Sánchez for weddings because it's less about PR and more personal.
Fashion Brands’ Complex Wedding Calculus
- Fashion houses would likely want to dress the richest, but Lauren Sánchez's taste complicates brands' strategic positioning.
- Her wedding gown was beautiful but considered inappropriate for a third marriage, highlighting subjective notions of 'good' taste in fashion.
