TONNE GOODMAN: FUNCTIONAL FASHION, GOOD DESIGN & MINIMALISM: Style & handbags feat LV, Hermes & YSL

I love these style analysis videos! You’re introducing me to interesting people that I’ve never heard of before. Please keep it up!

Tonne is old money. She inherently understands these things as she was raised within the milieu where white everyday clothing is chic because it denotes you're a part of the leisure class meaning you don't need to worry about the domestic stress of keeping whites white. Also things like Belgian shoes (the OG Summer Walk), Charvet and Hermes (AnythingButBirkin) have always been stealth wealth essentials with iykyk signifiers in addition to quality craftsmanship. Lastly the Vuitton Monogram is an example of how Logomania can be Stealth Wealth/Minimalist. Those who are financially comfortable will carry handmedown (NEVER NEW) Vuitton monogrammed canvas because when you see One rolling the luggage or carry the bag people assume it's either legit or a knock off. So they'll never truly know if you're a trust fund baby or a law clerk.

You're videos stand out because you're smart... not vapid and shallow. I love your intelligent content.

The capsule wardrobes also often lack cocktail and formal attire. Plus, I find my clothes wear out faster when I have fewer items. My life is much easier with 8 pairs of workout pants versus my boyfriend who must constantly wash clothes because he has one pair of jeans, one pair of workout pants, one or two shirts, etc. Clothes should make life easier for us. Granted, my closet is bursting with options; by the same token, I’m ready for pretty much anything at any given moment, which eliminates a lot of stress.

In re environmentally friendly: buying one item, like your YSL tote, that meets the other criteria and eliminates the need for replacement and/or additional purchases, makes itself environmentally friendly.

I love that woman, we have the exact same style, including the watch as the only jewelry and ONLY long sleeves. Love her!

I'm a minimalist and really resonate with Tonne Goodman's style. I have a few go to looks/combination, a minimal color scheme, and if I want to try something new, I shop secondhand first. Always. It helps me mitigate the waste created during experimentation or chasing a trend. :)

Wow! I have just realized that I have had a curated wardrobe most of my life. I do not like to spend time thinking about what garment 'goes with' what garment so I wear only 3 colors: black, white, and grey. The capsule wardrobe reminds me of Donna Karan.

I love your videos when you go beyond handbags! Exceptional analysis and a keen eye for the details of fashion design. Thank you.

I love her style.. I saw her in the Vogue documentary September Issue and I knew I found one of my style inspiration.^^ Thank you for featuring her.

i love this series and I really hope you do one for Anglena Jolie

You are right mentioning Carolyn Bessette.I always wondered how she would be today, and I feel like after I saw your video, I am thinking Tonne is the closest you can get. Everything curated and a reason behind everything. Like you said, how did she get to the scarves ect. Carolyn Tonne and some others are the "anti- influencer" as well. Like never really putting themselves out there. It's all practical and purposeful. But, it's really interesting and ironic that out of everyone- these are the women with the most taste and you want to hear more from. Love your analysis. Very thoughtful and intelligent.

A bag is environmentally conscious from the perspective that if one buys a quality leather bag and cares for it and uses it for a lifetime, then passing it on to others, that is vastly better for the environment than buying a different cheap bag every year. And YES, it does take years to develop individual style. Experiment with thrifted, vintage, or, if one can afford it, RealReal items in youth.

Wonderful and interesting video Mary! Loving the series! Thoroughly enjoyed😊

Fascinating discovery!! You bring rhyme and reason to often difficult concepts. Even your presentation and delivery is minimalist. Thank you for these wonderfully informative videos. Im learning so much.

Love this series.

Love this video. Love the rules of good design. Curated wardrobe is trial and error. Yes, I possibly wasted a lot of money trying to finding my style. But I needed to do so to find my style.

Great video. I like the idea of a uniform with a little extra flair, like a scarf. I will add in that Steve Jobs turtlenecks we’re made by Issey Miyake.

You’re really doing such great work with these videos! I’ve loved all of them. I’d be super fascinated to see some of my style faves, Olivia Palermo, Caroline Issa, and Amal Clooney.

Thank you for saying her name correctly, and thank you for taking a look at her. She’s always been so mysterious to me, with such a strict tailored classic silhouette. I feel she didn’t get as good an edit as Grace did in the September issue. Tonne appeared at times exasperated, while Grace just sort of floated through and let her opinion be known in the halls of vogue.
