This article bemoans the lack of bitchy designers, because bitchiness is the real reason we are all interested in fashion, and includes some quotes from everyone's favourite bitchy designer, Karl Largerfeld.
"When, back in the '90s, the Met bagged a Chanel retrospective in favor of a Jackie Kennedy homage, Karl said, "It's perfect. They can call it the Necropolitan Museum.
"When Pierre Cardin banned the press from his shows, Karl said, "That's like a women without lovers asking for the Pill.
"When nemesis/colleague Kitty D'Alessio was put out to pasture, Karl said, "The good news is that Kitty D'Alessio has been made director of special projects. The bad news is there are no special projects.
"When his mother asked what he wanted for his birthday, Karl said, "A valet." He was 4 years old. "
You need to come to London - we have a few of the great bitchy designers left over here...
ReplyDeleteI read about your escapades with a certain older flame haired designer! I thought you handled it fantastically. In fact, I sent your blog post to a friend I know would appreciate it, and overstated our friendship just because I wanted to be associated with you after such commendable behaviour. But I get that that it was mortifying, and not so funny if you were personally involved in the exchange.
