[Trista]

This is pure genius. I love reading all his funny quotes especially the PETA one-I found it ironic that the PETA people who crashed Burberry featured one with a Chanel bag.

Karl on Yves:

KARL LAGERFELD has branded the recent spate of retrospectives of the work of retired fashion legend (and his long-term rival) Yves Saint Laurent as "grotesque" and "depressing". "I think I'm in better shape [than Yves]," the newly slimmed down designer tells Fashion Wire Daily. "For Yves it was torture, torture, torture… And why tell people that you suffered to make a taffeta dress, when you make the same dress as you did six months ago? Please! People buy your dresses to be happy, not to know about the dramas of a crying alcoholic!"

I feel that he was kind of jealous of Yves due to the grand retirement cermony in Pombido Centre, 2002.
He is comparing himself to Yves, since they are from the same genration & I guess he wasn't sure that he might have this kind of event when he retire.

I guess he knows who is Michael Kors check this :

Asked what he thinks of Michael Kors, Lagerfeld is no kinder. "Ugh!" he exclaims. "With his big smile and gestures, he reminds me of a sales assistant in a Midwest department store - make that on the seventh floor."

no sharp tongue on Hedi:

But what particularly riles the designer, who appears to be bearing long-standing grudges, is a recent article which claimed that he has been dating Christian Dior Homme's head designer, Hedi Slimane, for the last eight months - although Hedi definitely gets a softer touch. "They always throw stones at the rich," he says. "What has been written is truly absurd and ridiculous. All I can say is, 'Poor Hedi.'"

KING: Is there a certain men's designer you like?

LAGERFELD: Haile Slim au Faudier. I think he's very good. He's getting an award tonight too.

What an interesting name for Hedi!

A great model! She has the look of the moment, the attitude of the moment. She is really the model of the moment.
