Streetwear and luxury brands are up and coming within teen culture. We're seeing the death of "mall-brands" like Hollister and Abercrombie and the rise of Gucci and LV in that age group, so I understand wanting to go for a more youthful, relatable teen to represent your brand. She didn't have to be put together or polished, just tame. I get that people appreciate her being herself but she just feels so ungrateful (in my humble opinion). Partially, I feel like thats how LV wanted her to be viewed but then it might just be that she doesn't know how to turn off the YT personality a la streamy awards speech. That one made her look ridiculously bad and just shows that she just can't be mature. I dunno, my views just so tainted.salty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:59 amSee but the fact that is largely the editing of the video means that LV WANTED Emma to appear that way. And I have to imagine they know what it will do to their sales or the perception of their brand better than you or I do.Snotgirl wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:04 amAs aforementioned, it has to do a lot with the editing of the video. The dichotomy between Karlie Kloss and Emma in the video is just so stark. It's not really that she had to be exactly like Kloss or had to change drastically; she could've remained outgoing without having to be so immature. The same way you're a bit more mature around adult/professional-figures than your friends. No one would think you had changed; they would think you were behaving accordingly to the scenario/situation when being a bit more respectful and professional with your manager/parents. Now, whether it wa sa defense mechanism or she was egged on, I'm not sure. She was still not the right choice.salty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:36 amBut if Emma HAD been polished and put together, everyone would have been talking about how she "changed" and her fans would have been mad.
Look at Karly's views on her youtube channel and look at Emma's. LV knows what they are doing. Their traditional avenues (tall glossy models) clearly aren't working for them (as someone described a few pages back, luxury brands are on the decline). They want her to look "relatable" and loud and disheveled to make their brand seem more accessible.
Having her representing LV was a bad choice, in my opinion. Sure, she gets you more likes and attention, but will it really make a large difference in sales? Now, they look ridiculous to their peers and their brand still isn't doing any better rather than garnering a little bit more of attention on YT or social media.
Call me crazy because I know everyone here disagrees, but if I had watched a video like that as a teenager, I would have thought Karlie seemed old and stodgy, not #goals. Notice Emma called her "big sister vibes" and that hits the nail on the head. She's so polished and put together that it only reinforces LV as an "old person" brand and unattainable/irrelevant for teens.
Emma wasn't there for people actually interested in fashion or for us who are (presumably) on the older side of 21. She's there to make LV relevant to the youths again.

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
Just watched her apartment tour and actually really enjoyed the video but damn this girl is LOADED. I also still don't believe she needs so much space. She should really get a roommate or something because why in the world does she need 3 bathrooms and 2 extra bedrooms alone at 17. It would also make financial sense/be safer for a friend to move in with her. But anyways, the video was cute.

I was thinking the same thing. That apartment is 2x the size and probably 2x the price of her old one, jesushermitqueen wrote:Just watched her apartment tour and actually really enjoyed the video but damn this girl is LOADED.

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
Wow... her new apartment is really nice lol, but I'm a little bit confused if Amanda and Olivia are living with her. I feel like they are always with her and I'm pretty sure that at the beginning of the vlog, while Emma and Olivia were in Emma's car, Olivia said that she was moving in with Emma, but it obviously could have been a joke lol. Also, Emma said that Napa, who I am pretty sure is Amanda's dog, is living w her. Sorry if this post is hard to understand, I am just very confused lol
Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
Forgot where I saw it but someone found it listed on Zillow and said it was $9,500 per month. What 17 year old needs 9.5k worth of space? Especially for a place that ugly.

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
jeez.. she must be making tons and tons of money from yt and other things. if anyone finds the apt or already knows it, lmk (i'm not a stalker at all lol, don't even live anywhere near LA, just want to have more info abt it)
also, $9,500 for that is WAY too much, in my opinion

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
This is blowing my mind. I live in DC and I thought rent was expensive here but damn wtf. Am I underestimating how much she earns or is this like a really dumb financial decision? How are her parents ok with this?

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
I was confused about the Amanda/Olivia situation as well. Olivia has said she doesn't spend a lot of time at home; always staying at other people's houses. I don't think she's living with Emma permanently though, at least not yet, just stays over a lot. Amanda said in her q&a video that Napa was staying with her friends while she went back home, but it seems like Napa is with Emma all the time regardless???
I really wish one of her friend's would live with her though, for the safety and security. I like the new place way more than the other one, but it's a lot for just one person, especially a teenager.

It's completely unnecessary and a waste of her money but girl will learn I guess?

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
Same. Is it a condo? I’ve never seen an apartment with its own rooftop deck like herstomatobunz wrote:did you find it?? im dying to see the listing. how did someone find it so fast!caroline22506 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:30 pmjeez.. she must be making tons and tons of money from yt and other things. if anyone finds the apt or already knows it, lmk (i'm not a stalker at all lol, don't even live anywhere near LA, just want to have more info abt it)

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
99% of the time when it comes to renting/leasing an apartment, you have to make 3 times the rent monthly to be approved.... which means she’s making at least $28,500 a month, if the apartment is really $9,500 a month. I’ve never felt more poor/unsatisifed with my life before and I’m almost three years older than her!!!caroline22506 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:30 pmjeez.. she must be making tons and tons of money from yt and other things. if anyone finds the apt or already knows it, lmk (i'm not a stalker at all lol, don't even live anywhere near LA, just want to have more info abt it)

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
she seems so happy in her moving video, the genuinely happiest in months! i'm happy for her. i hope this new space with more light helps her mood in puts her into a better space mentally, it's so insane how something as small as sunshine can instantly improve your mood. i think she got the bigger space as well so her friends can stay with her, i feel a little bad in that sense, she's clearly lonely. she kept saying she moved closer to soul cycle, but i think she just moved closer to her friends. awww Emma!

Re: Emma Chamberlain - Part 2
I’m happy for her and her new apartment I’m just nervous for her if she falls into the trap where she chases happiness with moving apartments/associating moving with change like I’ve seen a lot of youtubers do.

btw have you guys seen this video her feet are disgusting, how do they get that black? they wouldnt get that dirty after just a day of walking outside
this is actually common for LA because of the smog and pollution, it's probably just the dirt from the pollution on the floor of her balcony
How is she almost eighteen? I know it's from almost a week ago, but her tweet about standing outside naked... Ah, the lengths she goes to, to seem relatable.

I guess we're going to get a toilet/bathroom reference in every video from now on.
