Karl Attacks Defenseless Coco In Her Grave



I recently came across an article in which Karl Lagerfeld points out two big mistakes Coco Chanel made:
Mistake #1.  "'Not one man I have spoken to likes a woman in miniskirts." 
Mistake #2: When Coco decided blue jeans were horrible. 


Karl usually I really love you and everything you create, do, and say BUT you've got quite some nerve to attack my lady Coco. So Coco didn't think mini skirts and blue jeans were cool when she was 89... would you like to see 89 year old ladies prancing around in mini skirts and skinny  jeans... I think not. 


In defense of Coco I shall now point out two far greater mistakes Karl Lagerfeld has made.  


Mistake #1:  When Karl dressed Anna Wintour in a gown that was a cross between Urusula and the Ariel with sea shell tumours protruding from the hip. 






Mistake #2: When Karl decided that women love  to look like Chewbacca. 









p.s. Thanks to all my new followers! I'm working on a celebratory give away for the New Year!

Very interesting post! You pointed out good things and facts (Anna Wintour's gown, ftw) and do also think that Coco was and still IS a wonderful lady! And there's no actual use to point failure facts like Karl L. did, because trends change and yes it has been a while since Coco was at her sharpest... It is almost possible to state that everything gets to be fashionable, also miniskirts and blue denim, but not at the time of Coco...

Time changes Karl! :D Haha.

P.S. and he still think the chewbacca girl looks awesome, because she's a Chanel chewbacca and that makes everything better

Ria said...

lmao that Anna Wintour dress. Definitely a more heinous mistake.

Hahaha - so true about Anna's dress. I never realized it before.

Karl should keep his trap shut, Coco was the originator, he would be designing for TJ Maxx had it not been for her greatness- ok so maybe not TJ MAXX (cuz they don't have a brand..haha!)

anyways that Ursela/little mermaid getup it too funny, I want it for halloween next year- or maybe Chewbacca?!

Madeleine Roberts said...

Enjoyed your post. While I applaud Lagerfeld for his brilliance- even though he has missed the mark a couple of times. I am one of the few in the fashion world that is truly repulsed by him as well. I'm sorry I can't help it. I think it is his outlandish behavior.
I think sometimes he speaks without even thinking. As mentioned before Coco was 89 years old and was a lady of a very different generation. It is certainly not his place to judge.
For would he judge Valentino because he believes it is obscene to created an evening gown that shows women's ankles? Maybe he would...
Great post!!!

Cee said...

That Karl... I love almost everything he designs but I really wish he would keep his mouth shut, he says absolutely the worst things, and that fact is only amplified when they're taken out of context :( He may be great, but he'll never come close to Coco.

Happy New Year!

I think Coco was dead on anyways...at least about miniskirts. Not many women can pull them off and feel comfortable with themselves. And while I definitely think guys "enjoy" women in miniskirts, I'd rather keep my legs out of sight so a man is attracted to more than my body. Coco...she had class :)

Happy New Year! Can you believe 2010 is over! I don't think it'll hit me until I have to physically write the date lol! Haha love this post! He was so wrong for dogging her like that, especially since she can't defend herself! Glad you put him in his place!!

I wish you best in the new year! I'll definitely be tuned in!!
