Bethenny Frankel pursues luxury brands
Anyone know Bethenny Frankel She also knows she’s not afraid to rock the boat. After many years spent generating interest on reality TV, she’s back with another interesting take. And this time…it’s all about the luxury fashion. You know, the brands only worn by celebrities and the richest Real Housewives. According to B, consumers need to wean themselves off high-end brands. Instead of expensive price tags, Queen B says women should switch to something less expensive: knockoffs.
Bethenny criticizes high-end fashion brands… and says that women should buy “stupid” and “knock-offs”
If you’ve been following B since she left RHONY, the reality star has a lot to say. And she does it all from her popular TikTok account. Even though she deleted this particular video, the Daily Mail caught it before it was too late, and we’re wondering about the whole thing.
First, the Bravo alumna told her followers that she allows them to ditch luxury brands and wear “fake” clothes.
“Why? Because I think the luxury brand space has reached the point of exploitation. “Exploiting women’s insecurities that they will feel complete and secure if they can use a shopping bag that contains something that costs $50, max to make, and costs tens of thousands of dollars.”
The former housewife, who is supposedly leading the reality TV accounts, went on to say that consumers would likely find the same products at a much cheaper price. She likened it to the makeup industry. However, she noted that most people don’t want to wear fake clothes. Eventually, she mentioned other brands that she thought were on-trend but affordable.
“There are some brands that are expensive but they haven’t gone out of their overall range, for example, I think Valentino is doing a good job,” she said.
“I can buy anything I want,” she continued. “I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve got some crazy, crazy, expensive pieces that I know are an insult to everyone’s intelligence, and I won’t let you do that.”
“A brand raises its prices from $5,000 to $10,000 in a matter of years when a bag costs $50 to make, all bets are on you wanting to wear whatever replica you want.”
She ended her rant by saying that the industry is “taking advantage” of shoppers — especially women. “…They insult your intelligence as a consumer and a woman,” she said.
