^ Well if thats the case, then he has only himself to blame. But come on she cant be THAT bad. I mean I know no one will ever replace Valentino but the woman doesnt suck.

 

[Dyelle]

^ Agreed. Personally, I think Alessandra was never given the full chance to mature and establish herself at Gucci. Hopefully this time she'll get her chance and do well *knock on wood*

 

[Squizree]

Its because she's always being compared to the designer before her who always happens to be really good.

Jeremy Scott on:

Ann Demeulemeester: "just another Donna Karan ... completely boring"
Galliano: "stagnant and over"
Theyskens: "too much up Alexander McQueen’s ***"

Oh my God, does he know he's Jeremy Scott??? That guy cannot insult anyone.

The caption read that Karl Lagerfled use Kimora to close his couture shows dressed as a child bride, and.... He now resents her attitude calling her a "$5000 tote bag-wearin' monster."

Here is the full quote -

"It’s a wonderful thing I’ve created with you, but now you’re a $5,000-tote-bag-wearing monster, and for that, I am sorry. Now sit down and be quiet!”

Karl dissing Kimora made my day. I had this as my signature for quite a while.

you're right.
he got some nerves talking abt galliano being stale and over, if that's even the case, he's so so so much more over than galliano.

This isn't about other designers, but my fave was when (White House Intern to Bill Clinton ) Monica Lewinsky was said to be invited to the Oscars, and among other designers, Karl was asked what Chanel outfit he would dress her in. He snapped back, "We don't make that size!"

Valentino Scorches His Fellow Designers on the Way Out

Nobody knows how to burn bridges like a fashion designer on the way out. Valentino, the Italian womenswear legend who retires this month after 45 years in the industry, decided to go right for the toiles in an interview with reporters this week. "I certainly won't miss the fashion world. It's ruined! Everybody's doing the same things. What's missing is challenge, creativity, cheerfulness. These days it's all about numbers! To continue working in an environment which says nothing in particular to me would be a bore," he sniffed. "This environment is no longer stimulating." In case that criticism wasn't specific enough for you, the 77-year-old took aim at some of his longtime colleagues in the industry. On Miuccia Prada: "[She] knows what she wants … even if we don't share ideas about clothes."
On Giorgio Armani: "In the course of 40 years, he has created a great style — but vulgar."
On Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana: "[They were] shy at the beginning — now arrogant."
On Donatella Versace: "[Her brother] Gianni's talent was unique — but what grit she has!"
Valentino will be replaced at his eponymous company by former Gucci designer Alessandra Facchinetti as the company tries to expand. Asked about her talent, Valentino turned generous. "I've met her," he said. "She's pretty."

Diane von Furstenberg told me she thinks you may not be the best designer aesthetically, but that you're by far the smartest.
[karl]
And look at her prints, hmm? Maybe I've known her for too many years. Maybe she's right, I don't know. If she were an expert, perhaps her designs may be more impressive...

Designer Alexander McQueen doesn't want his new L.A. store on Melrose Avenue to be a magnet for young stars like Paris Hilton

"If she comes past the shop, hopefully she'll just keep walking," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I don't really covet that sort of thing."

Well he is putting a store in L.A. so I don't know what he expects.

 

[telepathicgoat]

Jeremy Scott on:

Ann Demeulemeester: "just another Donna Karan ... completely boring"
Galliano: "stagnant and over"
Theyskens: "too much up Alexander McQueen’s ***"

so he IS as dumb as I thought he was

comparing Donna Karan with Ann D?

Theyskens up AlexandermcQ's ***?

he has the subtlety of a cow and his comment on galliano, is exactly people's opinion about his work..... kinda ironic

 

[telepathicgoat]

^I don't think Alicia was pro/con-anyone. She portrayed Yves like the talented but infantile nut-job that he is. I actually think she was remarkably objective and balanced on both men.

totally agree

Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

“I think the luxury is not only what we give to ourselves, but what we can give to others,” she said. “Obviously, we can get more of this and this, but the true luxury is being able to give back. When one has been blessed with the ability to have made it...it’s our social responsibility.”

I used to like Karl's quotes but now they're starting to get a little annoying.
