ity, they may seem too outlandish to be true but they are actually based ​​in the family of author Kevin Kwan Kwan, he wrote literally. the book about crazy rich Asians and shared some of his photographs from the 1930s showing his own family who immigrated to Singapore from China.

Needless to say, the characters in the film have expensive tastes and the vote was to work on a tight budget, however, many designers were willing to do so. Help Ralph Lauren sent them 30 dresses and each one of them was used in the film. There are also gorgeous looks from Stella McCartney, Elie Saab Dior and many more. These sets were so expensive that they had to be insured in case something happened to them. Fortunately for Vogt and his budget, some jewelers like Bulgar E and Shop have their own security team to keep an eye on their assets when dealing with rich people in Asia.

The brand name designer duds are just as important as in the movie, but there is a move. difference between how people who come from old money and those who recently acquired wealth behave according to Kwan. People with old money are always looking for a bargain instead of buying brand name underwear from Victoria's Secret, which they will buy at local chain stores even though they have money to splurge and something else they just can't beat getting a secret deal about something no one else will see when it comes to footwear, old money, crazy and rich,

asians

care about being sensible and comfortable, getting dressed up for an event is one thing but for everyday wear they are often seen in simple shoes such as those of employee or arch.

This isn't about being flashy but rather about appearing practical, but of course this doesn't mean they don't splurge on special occasions. I often opt for a pair of Roger Vivier or Ferragamo shoes. They say expensive shoes last longer and this is definitely put to the test according to Quon, who loves to brag about how long they've had the same pair of shoes and how long. The use to which they have been put in this world is all about subtlety when everyone around you has a lot of money it is harder to impress by simply spending a lot of money on designer items carrying an extravagant Birkin bag with you may impress some people, but Not when it comes to this level of wealth, they focus on items that can be difficult to obtain.

Designer watches are very popular in Asia because they are often limited edition and can be difficult to obtain. Simply owning a Rolex is not. Enough is enough, it's about getting a Rolex Daytona Panda Paul Newman, one of these watches from 1968 sold at auction for a staggering sum of seventeen point eight million dollars. Branding is simply not enough to impress at this stage of the game, scarcity is what drives many. purchases for these consumers according to crazy rich Asian costume designer Mary votes Each character in the film had their own sense of personal style based on their personality Young Eleanor played by Michelle yes, she had a penchant for dressing in green, in fact, the star provided much of it by Rachel Chu, played by actress Constance Wu, begins with a sophisticated sense of style, but later in the film opts for lighter, more ethereal clothing during a scene in which Eleanor and Rachel meet.

On the stairs we see the first in a beautiful Diane von Furstenberg dress. Rachel, however, is wearing a floral Bautista Valley dress that Kevin Kwan says is the pinnacle of crazy rich Asian fashion in real life, claiming that a John Bautista Valley ball gown is the ultimate designer. dress, but it's not enough, anyone with a high credit card limit can buy one at a department store, but the wealthy elite will have one designed by John Ba himself if you're wondering what brand of bag the real crazy rich Asians use There over the classic Chanel is the most popular brand and recently prices increased by a whopping 25 percent.

You would think this would reduce sales, but it had the opposite effect. Sales increased because the higher price made the bag seem even more exclusive and it gained greater status. symbol is even more popular than other luxury brands including Gucci and Dior, now you might be a little confused about the concept of old money and new money or wondering where all these crazy rich Asians with net worth come from ultra high. individuals or you know, I have a net worth of 30 million dollars and more, the United States has about 90,000 of these residents, but Asia is catching up quickly right now, they have between 65,000 and 75,000 and that number is increasing rapidly .

Asia has accumulated more wealth in a shorter period of time compared to other countries and is currently the fastest growing group. Ultra-wealthy individuals are increasing at just under 20% annually compared to 10% in Europe and even less in the United States. Old money refers to older people and families who have been wealthy for a long period of time, while wealthy young people are younger or new to the world of wealth, their spending habits are strikingly different, as Wealthy young people are often in the market for flashy R-brand items in the movie Eleanor Wears a Ton of Armani. but she would never wear anything that exposes the logo.

One major thing that separates Asia's young, wealthy people from their elders is social media. Older, crazy, rich Asians want to spend their money on luxury items, but Young Money is looking for experiences they can share on Instagram while selling luxury items. Interesting food and lifestyle concepts are coming off the shelves. People who can afford it can take a Lululemon yoga class or customize their own Gucci bag, or if they want an Instagram-worthy meal, they can visit Emporium Shakuni, which features a dry-aging facility. and live seafood market customers can select the freshest food possible and have it prepared by a private chef.

There are many Instagram accounts documenting these lavish lifestyles, even those of Singapore's rich kids. This raises the question of how accurate the film Crazy Rich Asians is to the real

lives

of rich Asian citizens, while some have criticized the film for not showing the life of an average Singaporean who is clearly not from what the movie is about. Actress Victoria Lok was born in Singapore and plays Fiona Chang in the film. she called the film a slice of high society gossip in cinematic form. Lok noted that there is a fine line between cartoon and reality and she feels that the best stories contain a little of both.

In the film, he aptly named the opulent parties shown in the movies and enjoyed the shopping scenes immensely. According to Lim, taking a private jet to go shopping is no big deal for real-life crazy rich Asians because sometimes they just don't want to. be seen in public during the movie Astrid Leung played by Gemma Chan walks into a jewelry store and spends $1 million on a pair of earrings without a second thought, according to Lim, this is something she would definitely do, adding that he is known to walk in to a designer shoe store and demand a pair of each in every color available.

One of the few inaccuracies she cites is that the weddings she has heard about or seen are usually much larger and more elaborate than in the film; It seems that the only real embellishment was the sprawling mansion located in the fictional young family home. This house was unrealistically large and there are only three or four places in all of Singapore that are that size. In reality, these scenes were filmed in two abandoned mansions in the gardens. Pradhana Botanists of Kuala Lumpur These residences had been built in the early 20th century for the British High Commission in Malaya, then used as hotels until they closed in 2015.

These buildings had not been used until it was time to film rich Asians and crazy Jamie Chua is a socialite known for her collection of over 200 handbags, one in particular is made of crocodile skin and covered with white gold details and 245 diamonds, making it worth four hundred and thirty-two thousand dollars. She keeps this and other exquisite handbags in a sealed closet with a fingerprint scanner. When asked what he thought about crazy rich Asians, he believed the film underestimated how extravagant things are for the rich, although when it comes to family relationships and the close-knit community, Chua believes they got things right, It turns out that when most socialites go shopping, they don't waste time looking around the showroom, there they are immediately taken to a back room where the employees give them private time and attention, in addition to all the things materials in the film, wealthy socialites agree that the depiction of their social structure is accurate.

Kane Lim admits to being on several group chats where people are constantly talking to each other and keeping everyone informed about their every move, he and Jamie Chua agree that mothers can be incredibly protective of their children and often have their own opinions on who they should end up with romantically, so if you found the over-the-top

lives

of crazy, over-rich Asians incredible, you better believe it, although it doesn't represent the life of the average person in Singapore, it represents what life is like for upper class citizens, socialite Chloe Inge claims The film was 80 to 90 percent accurate in her experience, although they throw lavish parties like those in the movies, they are not held every day or even every on the weekends, but we can safely say that they definitely have them more than the average person.
