Post a Totally Random Moment From Fashion History...

I can’t think of why the YSL Nu ad would be controversial in this day and age… aside from the Roman Polanski connection.

Today's feature from my "archives" (lol)... Karl Lagerfeld in Interview Magazine June 1975, interviewed by André Leon Talley. (Context, he was in New York to launch the Chloe perfume). Photography by Antonio Lopez.




Highlights:

$3,500 worth of overweight luggage (not: Karl's friend)




Karl was put on a bland diet to quit drinking so much Coca Cola (10 - 15 bottles!!)




Select quotes from the interview that caught my eye.





"I hate too skinny!" - Karl Lagerfeld



The saga of Jacques de Bascher and Karl begins:



Jacques sounding like he belongs on r/im14andthisisdeep:



Andre: What do you feel about the ashtrays?



André: DO YOU KEEP THE SAME LOVER FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS?





This concludes today's "Random moment from fashion history" post.

Do I have to say more lol? I'm still shocked as to why she fell, the outfit was comfortable the shoes weren't that big. She has walked far more difficult shoes on far worse shoes.

In my books this is the most iconic fall in the whole fashion history, Naomi's Westwood fall won't even come close.

LOL! imagine that this moment has named by Vogue as one of the best model walks of all time!

I've seen this video a million times and to this day I think she did it intentionally!

Thanks blueorchid! 🤗

So interesting.

Karl picked Vionnet as his favorite couturier!

Balenciaga also adored Vionnet, to the point of purchasing Vionnet dresses (three in March 1924 and three in September) to deconstruct and analyze them, so that he could learn from the best.

And whenever I hear Vionnet, I am reminded of the dress cut in two halves by Cristóbal that you see at the beginning of the exhibition in the Balenciaga Museoa in Getaria.

Jacques de Bascher, although in the interview comes trough as quite petulant, must have been a fascinating man, to attract both Karl and Yves.

Rumours say that he was intially paralysed by MGC's Dior.

Thankfully it was from Galliano's era, so he never had to endure her.

Speaking of which, I also love this deleted scene from The September Issue in which Anna awkwardly suggests a name for John's new Dior bag and he is visibly disinterested in her idea. So cringeworthy 😆

 

[blueorchid]

Am I the only one who finds Galliano’s voice practically insufferable to listen to? It’s painful it’s like listening to an actor practice a fake accent for a role, and it’s not quite perfected.

Have to share this one too. Serves her right.
