I. Love. Karl. LAGERFELD
I don’t know if he will ever top his comments on fat people and kids, but until then these quotes from a recent The Sunday Times article will do.
“I have no problem with journalists – many are friends. Only if they are really stupid, or if they’ve got bad breath, or if they smell. Yesterday [after the Chanel couture show] I had a problem. I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’ve got to tell this woman that she needs to be taken away. Her smell is not possible.’ ”
“They sent a private jet. I said, ‘It’s too small. I need a bigger plane.’ It’s fun, no?”
“I don’t need meetings. I’m only interested in my own opinion anyway. If I have a project, like this,” he says, pointing to an advertising campaign he recently shot for Dom Pérignon, “you like, or you don’t like. There is no second opinion. If you’re not 100% sure about what I want to do, you ask someone else.”
“Respect is not creative,” he told American Vogue. “Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore – and then you get something out of her.”
I cannot stand this guy, his track record (negative comments) is unbelievable. I remember a class discussion about guest designers for mass merchants and his whole “my clothing is not for fat people” comment came up!! And the sad part about it is that he is dead SERIOUS!!!
Don’t get me wrong, he is doing a lot for Chanel and Fendi, but his personality is not cool.
“her smell is not possible”
Now that is a slice of hillarity
