"If you want to see a retrospective of Alaïa, just look at what he's doing now.'' - Karl Lagerfeld on Alaïa
He'd better look at himself before talking.
I found this interview on Jezebel quite interesting and funny to read.
Things Karl could live without:
Food.
I hate the smell of cooking. Some people love it, but I don't care for it. I don't eat sweet things. I don't eat greasy things. And I like fish better than meat. In fact, I hate meat. My doctor calls me to eat meat twice a week, as apparently we are cannibals. There used to be a Nobu here in Paris but it was very bad; it was horrible. The one one in London is great. It's my favorite restaurant in London.
Fat people.
Yes, new Russian girls are like this. But this is a subject I won't discuss. You know why? In France there are a large percentage of young girls who are overweight and less than one percent are skinny. So let's talk about the 25 percent who have a weight problem, or are overweight. We don't need to discuss the less than one percent. Anorexia is nothing to do with fashion. These Russian girls are so young. Chinese ones are skinny, too, and bony. I don't think it's a subject to discuss. And in today's world, many people take drugs, not only models, hmm? It's an unnecessary subject. Let's talk about the fat ones.
hey, didn't you lost, like, ten kilograms because you looked like a cow?
Children.
Do you ever wish you had a son to pass on your wisdom to, to continue the Chanel heritage?
That's the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.
Nice, huh?
But he's the photographer behind my favourite ad campaign ever, so I can't hate him entirely.
What do you think about him?
I've never really liked him that much, I'm not sure why. I can't believe he said that about Alaia because so much of his work at Chanel has just been about maintaining the Chanel aesthetic that Coco created! He's obsessed with his house's own classics, like at that couture show they all came out of the huge cardigan jacket! I think he likes to be an entertaining personality, but it's getting a bit old as an act.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about it really.. but when I read this post i would prefere if he would keep his mouth shut and focus on his own design, instead of others
