Super-Rich Paris: Luxury Capital of the World? | Haute-Couture & Opulence (Documentary)

Time and time again its proven that no amount of money buys taste and class.

Warning to anyone watching : this documentary is 6 years old ( 2017) !

A 10 euro tip for a valet?! It confirms my understanding that rich people are cheap AF!

What I notice most is that to enjoy the luxury lifestyle you have to be thin. Extra thin.

A number of years ago I was lucky enough to see an art exhibition called "Artistic Luxury" and featuring the works of Tiffany, Lalique, and Faberge. Most works were shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1900 and the focus was on the idea that, to the three firms, the design and artistry were more important than the materials and carat count. While not calling out direct comparison, there were examples of comparable works from other jewelers. For example, there were two examples of cigarette cases in the Louis XVI style. The Cartier version, while probably of higher carat weight, was not even in the same league as the Faberge. Some of the jewels and clothes were wearing the person, rather than the other way around.

I love the personal style of the lingerie designer and her lingerie is beautiful. ❤. And the lace factory was fascinating. Loved this segment.

When Natalia and her daughter were buying dresses it did make me laugh the way the tv presenter said that the sales assistant continues to take care of customer as a snack is served using silver serving tongs??? It was actually a cup of coffee with sugar in a bowl with sugar tongs so you can add your own sugar cubes with 2pieces of chocolate on the side of the tray but no snacks were ever served up to them using silver sugar tongs🤔🤥☕️😆😂🤣

Yes they have bed bugs that are also very expensive 😅

What's impressive about the female valet attendant is that she's able to drive many different models which can be somewhat complicated to start and control - well done!

All of these people seem to me to be "rich," but not WEALTHY. The truly wealthy do not flaunt or flout their wealth, keeping it extremely quiet and close to the vest.

Good documentary , alarming topic on the indecency of that kind of money . Our world is in deep trouble.

Little does Natalia know the black dress with the feathers suited her the best she looked amazing in it,the other two not so sure

Why can I imagine the sound of a designer quietly laughing?

i think that "cape" was absolutely beautiful, but should have been worn by a woman with olive or dark skin. I also think that the outfits worn by the models did their best to destroy the grandeur of the jewelry, rather than enhance it.

I know I won’t be popular but I really like this documentary. I love the rich history of these fashion houses.

Why is the super chef just inspecting his brand new kitchen 24 hours before opening? Just shows us regular people that have to decide between essentials how skewed the world is. Once again makes me sad to be a human in a society that puts so much influence in afluence

I hope they’re enjoying life because getting through it by shopping for pretty awful looking dresses and accessories, meeting powerful or famous people is boring and unfulfilling. You can get all you want and still be unsatisfied with life. Material possessions can only do so much. Find a higher calling and the Most High.

It all looks so jaded and passe. What are they doing about the bedbug infestation and the stench from the river that engulfs the city?

That gold cape with the citrine was beautiful. Reminds me of the beauty of Tutankhamen’s treasures.

It’s a modern myth that Paris is still the fashion capital: it might be 100 years ago, it certainly isn’t now if you travelled there or lived there enough to see how the city really is.
