Post a Totally Random Moment From Fashion History...

[MulletProof]

Do you remember who was it? I don´t remember anything about this... 😅

Look up Naomi Preizler in the Model Behavior thread for her origin story lol!


.. when the fashion industry tried WFH and probably claimed, like all of us, that it would not impact the quality of their work at all because they actually work 'better' at home:

 

[Salvatore]

so many drugs, heavy BDSM, cruel and sadistic. He paid firemen from the nearby firehouse to haze (read r*pe) young homeless rentboys ...

WHAT ? Evil indeed !!!!!

I am sure some photographers/ major brands are still working remotely
meaning the photographer is not on set on the day, they direct the assistants and everything from a laptop/ iPhone

Well, when was the last time we think Meisel was actually on set for a photoshoot? 🤔

With some photographers it’s fairly obvious IMO.

^ if he's still reading tfs, he'll reach out to the powers that be and get you banned! (see Naomi Preizler's story!).. remember, he IS present and pressing click on the camera with his own finger. *wink wink*

Speaking of Meisel... how could we forget

And to think it was (mostly??) all bankrolled by Karl...

I’ve always found their dynamic so weird. They probably lived in separate places or didn’t shared a room….
Because on one hand you have someone who was working for many different houses and on the other hand someone living a soft life and exploring all his fantasies..

Jacques stories are those of a man who was a pain to live with…And wasn’t Karl living with his mother too?

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Is that true about Jacques? I can’t find anything online about it. Is it from a book?

It's one of those things that makes less and less sense the more you think/read about it...

In Sara Ziff's model documentary <Picture Me: A Model's Diary (2010)> with Caitriona Balfe and Cameron Russell, they talked about a 14-year girl modelling for Dolce Gabbana

That girl was Andreea Diaconu in Dolce SS06


But I can not find out who was the 12-year-old Gucci exclusive. I think that was just a rumour...

Around 1997-98 I remember a 12 y.o. model walking for a brand (I don´t remember which one) in Milan. It was a scandal back then. The girl had very long hair (I have been browsing for more info/pics/video without success).

Tanya Dziahileva Prada exclusive at 14 years old (2005) and opened Versace at 16 years old (2007)
So iconic before Daphne

Jacques de Bascher is a name I have heard countless times since I was a teenager but really, the myth around his life has always puzzled me lol.

I mean, from various testimony (and to Karl’s own admission), they weren’t physical at all or stopped it really early in their relationship. So they must have lived a kind of separate life. I know so many married couples who lives in the same floor but different apartments so…

Because Jacques did the Fendi movie and probably was involved in Karl’s work life in the early days. But then he went wild on his own.

And I truly wonder how Karl knew about his mess. He was a wild card like YSL. But while YSL had Pierre Bergé babysitting him his whole life, Karl was focused on his career. Jacques died tragically after all…

 

[jeanclaude]

Because Jacques did the Fendi movie

What movie is it??

 

[Lola701]

What movie is it??

Histoire d’Eau, the fashion film (movie was an exaggeration) he did for Karls’s Fendi’s first RTW collection in the late 70’s.

Have you seen the latest documentary about Karl, the 4 part Canal+ one? I laughed when Paloma Picasso said that she didn’t get what all the fuss was over Jacques. FINALLY someone said it, I thought…

@jeanclaude Here’s the “film” on YouTube

 

[jeanclaude]

Did not know about that film! Thank you @Lola701 and @blueorchid !!

The film was kind of stupid but the clothes slayed. I miss Karl and Silvia's Fendi...

I mean, arguably 15-20 years? lol
