I'm in a Karl mood. This anecdote about him and Yves (lol) running into Balmain at Le Fiacre... And Karl pretending to be younger than he was while telling the story lol.

I was shocked to find out in that documentary he was sexually abused by an older German couple as a kid.

What documentary? I’ve never heard that about Karl, actually.

Lagerfeld Confidential around 35 minutes in. His mother actually told him it was his fault because of what he was wearing. I'm surprised people never talk about it more often but I think it's mainly on Karl. He really brushed it off as if it was nothing just like his mother. She seemed quite emotionally abusive in that way and many others.

She was a big reason as to why that collection featured only flat shoes.

From Daily Mail:

In an interview with WWD, Balanciaga creative director Nicholas Ghesquière revealed that his Spring/Summer 2011 collection, featuring mannish flat shoes, was partly a reaction to supermodels' worries over walking in painfully high heels.

Gisele Bundchen, who is rated the number one supermodel in the world, was so out of love with heels that she told the designer that she refused to wear his signature 4.5inch heels on the runway at the Paris show.

"The idea was to have this crazy casting with Gisele Bündchen and Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy, and they said no for high heels," the designer said, NY Magazinereports. "They were not used to walking with heels anymore. Gisele was worried; she would not walk with my heels."

That's one way to avoid a Naomi moment... Balenciaga designer only made flat shoes because Gisele refused to wear heels on the runway

Some of the world's top models have refused to wear vertiginous heels on the runway and Balenciaga even went so far as to design flat shoes especially for the refusenicks.

Oooh, you're talking about this scene. This is a 'lil crazier than I remember... there could be an entire thread dedicated to psychoanalyzing Karl... (the entire segment in the documentary counts as a giant "totally random moment from fashion history", upon rewatching)

The initial question...



The answer continues...

My caps (lol)

Thank God there are court cases today ! It's like he was deploring that there are ! It's horrible to go through childhood sexual assault ! He made it seem like it was normal, monstruous ! People shouldn't feel at liberty to sexually assault children ! The man was a mental case !

Good Idea: Versus Versace
Bad Idea: Zayn as designer
Worst Idea: Shooted by Gigi Hadid

I remember stanning Twilight HARD on tFS but Kristen is a terrible model. Well...unless you're pretentious enough to think that expressionlessness makes you "cooler". Which seems to be most of society?
