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."

totally agree
“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.”
