[satin chic]

Is there anyone Karl hasn't gossiped about?

 

[Dustcakeboy]

Donatella's is pure genius. Who'd have known the woman was so hilarious?

 

[KI_egoiste]

hahahahahaha, I almost died laughing. Oh, Kaiser Karl, he is really special. It's true, you just cannot hate him. Also, Donatella' quote is beyond funny.

I LOVE Karl's view on Yves....that's just perfect.

Some of Karl Lagerfeld's quotes
On Yves Saint Laurent:

"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!"

On Michael Kors:

"With his big smile and gestures, he reminds me of a sales assistant in a Midwest department store - make that on the seventh floor."

(from the Favorite Fashion / Designer Quotes thread)

I TOTALLY AGREE ON MICHAEL KORS! karl is ACID! karl is GENIUS! i keep reading and re-reading interviews and quotes and watching videos and he is everytime genius!


by the way... what does Zac Posen know about layering?

 

[reese06]

Actually I believe the Zac Posen line was more about shapes. He said something to the affect of, I don't just put on 10 layers of clothing and then call them "shapes". It wasn't about layering.

 

[ParadEyes]

there is a great one of lagerfeld saying something like "ysl is for *****" but i can't find it!

there should be a whole new thread dedicated to karl's insults

Karl on the new Balenciaga collection

Lagerfeld didn’t think much of the Balenciaga prints. I saw Lagerfeld last night at Chanel. “Prints are for middle-aged women with weight problems,” he told me.

ouch indeed!

I had a sneaking suspicion Donatella wasn't quite so humorous

More Karl Lagerfeld quotes...

On Chanel:

"When I took on Chanel she was a sleeping beauty. Not even a beautiful one. She snored."

Reporter: What would you do if she (Coco) walked in now and said: "What the f*** are you doing with my fashion house?"
Karl: I would say, "Darling, this is no longer your business. F*** you!

On Balenciaga:

"Yves was working for Dior. Other young people I knew were working for Balenciaga, whom they thought was God, but I wasn't so impressed."
