Karl Lagerfeld

One of my favorite people ever, and head of my favorite classic fashion house, Chanel. Even though i hear Karl-bashing, my opinion is not faltered. I adore the ancient being, with his slick-backed ponytail and signature gloves...up to his chic shades- I love Monsieur Lagerfeld.

From his Spring 07 line back to my first discovery of modern Chanel- Fall 05 his has taken the line to new, yet completely classic collections that Madame Coco would have been proud to call her own. I think that he has made such an impact on fashion and has taken over the line very well...compared to John Galliano for Dior. Christian Dior has such a classic heir to his clothing that i believe has been replaced by Mr. Galliano for more hardened, hip rocker-chic looks. You may favor this approach, but i do not believe that Karl has made any such similar changes. I think that staying true to the original designer is what a following lead designer should to, and i think Karl has done just that. I will never believe this: "I wish Mr. Lagerfeld would go back to his crypt and take his filthy paws off the fashion world for good."- I utterly shutter at the very thought...how could anyone think this! haha

Some of my favorite Karl Lagerfeld quotes below

“I hate birthdays, ... It's more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it's an evolution. I don't celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.”

“This is what I think is modern. It's like wearing a couture jacket with a pair of jeans.”

“What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.”

“Personality begins where comparison ends.”
