Original caption
The old money aesthetic wasn't actually made by Western luxury brands like Ralph Lauren and Prada, so here's the dark truth on how it's related to Black Americans 🤔 Shows like Gossip girl and Succession depicts generational wealth in quiet ways of muted clothing and hidden designer logos, but where did the generational wealth come from?? let's talk about it 🧵🪡 I definitely didn't learn this in school, but how about you?! anyways, as always let me know your thoughts 🌟 #fashionhistory #oldmoneyaesthetic #succession #blackamericans #quietluxury
