"I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that."
During his last renovation, it was noted that Lagerfeld had had all the mirrors in his palatial house removed.
"Fawning sycophants are enough," said Karl, nodding sagely.
I don't get the point of channeling Chanel via Lagerfeld. I would imagine someone at some point wrote down what she actually said, could we not, like, research that?
Also, Lagerfeld really needs to shut his piehole. Remember who buys your clothing, Karl darling. Women. And lots of them are (gasp!) feminists. If you really just want to make yourself so repulsive women won't want to buy your clothes, then you're doing a fine job. Please, carry on.
. . . So that's Karl Lagerfeld's job? To impersonate Coco Chanel in interviews? This is somehow more confusing than when I thought his job was to wear vampire-chic clothes and swan about, scaring socialites.
Wait, Steve Madden sued other designers for knocking THEM off? That's very shocking. I keep waiting to hear that Jimmy Choo is suing Steve Madden. Seems most Steve Maddens themselves are just pricier knockoffs.
@greengrey: Actually, it was a little more complicated than that. Madden sued, I believe, eBay for selling articles produced by a licensee after that license had lapsed. But last week they dropped the charges.
@No Day Like Friday: That shocked me, too. Fortunately it sounds like he played it off with a non-sequitor answer. MK shows that his clothes are then only think he keeps classy.

@SevenNationArmy hates David Yates: The Hollister store is at the corner of Broadway and Houston - there are stores everywhere. I'm not sure why this one in particular is raising so much ire.
Kathy Ireland, I have a whole new respect for you. That is one of the most intelligent things I have heard in a long time and a great response to concern trolling.
The Alaia bit is just dreadful. I used to work at a high-fashion, Middle Eastern mag and we profiled him for our premiere issue. It's not 80s fashion without him. What a ridiculous move on the part of the Met.
Can I just say I kind of hate André Leon Talley. Putting aside what he did to J-Hud at the Oscars (which was horrible), he strikes me as one of those people who is using sheer stereotypical bullshit to get people to think he actually has something interesting to say.
Just because you say the word fierce doesn't mean the following words will be anything insight, interesting or thought provoking. Just because you add "oh honey child" or some bullshit doesn't turn insipid commentary is insightful commentary.
George Faye and Miss J also piss me off for the same reason.
@Trulymadlyme: I find it ridiculous that "Miss J" teaches young women how they should mince down the catwalk in a parody of femininity. We will know the sexes are truly equal when we have a butch lesbian teach young men how to be more masculine on prime time television. Judging by his ghastly outfit at the Met, Andre Leon Talley has no business telling anyone how to dress stylishly.

@greengrey: Steve Madden has to sue other designers, so they can afford to settle lawsuits filed against them.

What other kind of person could be asked that question and not feel totally violated?
(Also: what if he doesn't have anal sex?)
Can you imagine Vanity Fair asking, say, DVF whether she liked regular or reverse cowgirl?
Or is gay sex so wound up in identity politics as to make this an integral factor of any real interview of a gay man?
