About this video
Centeno distinguishes between old money style and quiet luxury, two related but distinct fashion trends. He defines old money as clothing rooted in generational wealth and timeless classics, while quiet luxury emphasizes modern minimalism, discrete branding, and technological innovation. Centeno then categorizes various fashion brands into each style, providing viewers with a framework for understanding these aesthetics.
