Oh please! What's sad is children living in poverty, homelessness, disease, people that work and can't make ends meet. The saddest thing about Lagerfield is that he left the bulk of fortune to his cat!!! Think how many good things he could have done with his money! And a legend...what legend? Legends are doctors, nurses, teachers, bin men, care workers, bus drivers, train drivers, vets, factory workers, supermarkets workers, ...and all the other people that try to make the world a better place and keep it going! Fashion is the most shallow place with the most shallow people. I am from Italy, and in my youth I only wore Armani clothes and carried only Fendi bags. When I got out of my bubble and saw what the world was truly like, I felt a sense of shame with myself. I understood that there was more to life than designer clothes and bags. Also, who are these designers that decide what's in and what's out? People have lost their personalities, they all look the same, like a bunch of soldiers in uniforms. So, no, I'm not saddened by Lagerfield being dead, if my mum could die so could he!
Thank you thank you. I said pretty much the same thing! People are ao fake they won't cry or feel sad for loved ones! But for a stranger who wouldn't look twice at them they shed a year. The guy left a lifetime of money for a cat really and people conveniently forgot now he was a good huma he must rest in peace😮 Thank you for speaking the truth.
And that's your opinion. I respect that but completely disregarding someone's impact on the world isn't very nice. He could've made a impact on someone's life and you wouldn't know. I don't know much about him but I still believe that what you have said is so disrespectful. Why is it that only doctor and others can be legends? A legend is a person who made a great impact on the world and he did exactly that. I'm not saying he was the best person ever, he was not the nicest but he did make a great impact in the fashion world and that's to be respected. And about what he left for his cat, let it be. It's already done. There's no use crying over spilt milk. Maybe that's a cause he didn't believe in. At the end of the day, it's his money, which he earned by his own hard work, so he must get to choose what he does with it. Fashion could be a "shallow" world to you but it's most people's way of expressing themselves. It's art and to be respected. People have also gained personality through fashion. And you all complain about how they all look the same like "soldiers in uniforms" and then complain how it's "too complex" when you see variety. If you don't have a taste for fashion, don't talk crap about it. And finally, he was a human, no one should leave this world knowing that people like you do not care for their death at all. Every human, no matter their personality and deeds in life, must be mourned when dead.
No, the saddest moment in the fashion industry is when Gianni Versace was gunned down in front of his home by a deranged serial killer in 1997, South Miami Beach at only 50 yrs old.
Chanel founder was extremely racist and was a Nazi sympathizer. This designer carried on her legacy by being an absolute monster of a misogynist and racist. People like them don't deserve support or admiration. Sorry, not sorry. 🤷🏼♀️
Anybody at that level in life IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE, a "nice person!". The masses are peasants to them. His soul probably isn't in a "nice" place either.
Coco Chanel was a Nazi. That’s not hyperbole she was literally a Nazi. This is well known. Karl’s bigotry is well documented. Fuck both of them, the world is better without them
Please don’t idolize Coco Chanel, admiring the brand itself is fine, but that woman contributed to various tragedies. I advise you to look up some stuff about her.
You could be correct. We don’t really know until the things we pray don’t happen, we either get through, or it doesn’t happen. The world looks a bit strange as of late, but I can still see a rainbow somewhere. I refuse to give up. that’s just me. We will get through what ever this is and be grateful for it. Blessings
He lived a good long life so I don't know that I would say it was sad. Although controversial you can't take away being and icon from him. Many top models seem to have liked and respected him.
You can’t be an icon and be racist and fatphobic and islamophobe at the same time. He was nothing of an icon, just a huge asshole who drew pretty clothes.
The over indulgence of this industry is heartbreaking. It maintains a level of opulence saved for the very wealthy and well connected. All that money could have fed and clothed millions upon millions of souls who have nothing thru no fault of their own. Its only there to entertain the elites. Nothing more.
And is that his fault? He just wanted to design his whole life. And that's what he did. The people will buy expensive stuff anyway. Blame them. He also often said how good cheap clothes are and never blamed anyone for not having expensive clothes.
❤❤❤rip I remember meeting him when I was 8 in John Wanamaker's back in the early 80's . Meet and greet in PHILADELPHIA WOW I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS WELCOMING US TO THE STORE UNTIL I GOT OLDER AND REALIZED ❤❤❤HE WAS WELCOMING AND NICE TO ME HE SHOOK MY LITTLE HAND AND SAID GIVE ME A LITTLE SAMPLE OF PURFUME❤❤❤
The comments are so inconsistent that it is impossible to tell if Karl was a monster or an angel. But one thing is abundantly clear - he was supremely elegant! And as I cannot remember the last time I could say that of anyone, the aesthete in me is profoundly grateful.
Being of old fashioned class and honesty is enough to have anyone demonised by some peoples over sensitive standards these days. I would pay it no mind personally. Picking the models he did in my eyes does not make him a bad person and who am I to question his judgement in that.
@@KYNAEVIL there is no "class" or honesty in being a mean or elitist person. he was good at his job, but he stuck to ideals that we as humanity have stopped accepting. nobody is demonizing him - we just refuse to see him through rose colored glasses just because he died. and everybody's judgement is allowed to be questioned. nobody is above critique.
One thing anyone can agree on is, as many say, he WAS elegant - and had exceedingly elegant taste. When, on the rare occasion that some of his rooms in his estates were shown in a video/ documentary, one can see how gorgeous he decorated his homes. Stunningly classy... I'm sure it helped that he came from money and elegance by his mother and father. In many ways, he was very fortunate.
JESUS IS NOT ONLY OUR TRULY ABD ONLY ONE SAVIOUR!!! HE “IS” our TRULY REAL HEROE!!!! HE DID WHAT NONE OF US COULD DARE TO DO!!!! EVEN IF THE HOLG FATHER THE ALL ALMIGHTY IN TGE HIGHEST , WOULD ORDER US TO DO IT!!! To died CRUCIFIED IN A CROSS TO SAVE THE REST OF MANKIND!!!! HE IS THE ONE WHO DESERVES ALL THE HONORS!! HOMAGE!! RESPECT!! ADORATION!!! REVERANCE !!! ADULATIONS!!!! WE ALL ARE JUST DIRT!DUST BREATHING!!! We are NOTHING!!! Men glorifying another human being!!! We really are full of craps!!! It’s pitiful!!! It’s sad!!! Let s see what s going to happen when we all have to face HIM!!! Let s see WHO s who!! Been CRUCIFIED
He wasn't at all. All the people that worked with him loved him. Most staff worked with him for decades. His controversial statements are all taken out of context from mostly german interviews. He was a very direct and honest nordic man with dry humor. A lot gets lost in translation.
Well no😂. He always liked photography but he started out designing as a child and started in as profession with 15 when he moved from Hamburg to France. He took it up again later. Overall he had like 3 brands he designed for simultaneously, did photography, interior design, sold houses and ran a book store. He loved working. At some point he even was a bodybuilder😂.
Depends if he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior then yes he is in paradise but if he did not he is in the putrid bowels of hell the place of eternal torment grinding his teeth with agony wishing he had known and accepted Jesus while he still had breadth.
@@godhg9694 Look I'm not a Christian or a atheist but you are wrong from either the side, no? An atheist would disagree as you are comparing his work someone who's existence is also in questioned by their community. But, also, as a Christian you are wrong as you are comparing Jesus with a legend which can also be non-existent and made up (Blasphemy D:) Jesus can only be divine not legendary.
The legend designer if all time. Everyone of these designs, the winter whites, creams, the royal blues and black, the added accessories to the designs, just all so fabulous. I live designing myself. I've never had the chance to attempt it. Some day I will.
It's not my thing, but I respect beauty and art and their place in this world. I dont know who this guy is, but girl, take your shot. We only live once.
@@george40nelson4 oh boohoo. She was a nazi and he was a woman hating creep and now they’re both rotting in the ground. They’d treat you like shit on their shoe if they weren’t, your dickriding is the only insanity here
All well-known top Fashion Designers (who make it on pure talent) are cut-throat because they have to be; ' the business' has never been for the faint of heart. Part of that is timing & how fast the Seasons go by with both Summer/Spring & you are always 1 season ahead: so designed, patterned, sampled, then mass-produced, & all the way to being shipped?-an absolutely brutal business. Constant pressure from all sides especially at that high profile level-but even lesser known brands that you see in K-mart, the designers have to be almost the same way because of the Season shift.
The best fashion clothing designer. Houndstooth designs were fabulous and still is. Great fashion color. Why we have pink and chocolate colors...him! His magic for creating deep rich colors and wearing them makes ok be feel like millions.
What he have done you consider made him a „Demon“?! He was definitely a egomaniac and didn’t hold back or sugarcoated his opinion, especially like most older people in his later years after he lost all that weight (officially claimed by him just through drinking only coke light for moth and almost else drinking or even eating, and just to be able to fit in a certain designer jeans from a other designer which he admired, but the jeans didn’t was made for oversized people) otherwise he has always appeared as a decent person even his muses like Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevingne and countless other models never have spoken ill about him even till now (4 years after he died) there is no accusations like yours from people who actually made him as well he have worked with especially with knowing that the entire working staff (assistants, booker, tailors and fitters) in his atelier has been with him over several decades instead of being every 5 years entirely replaced like its usual being done in ever other fashion company also they have been payed way over the average payment in France and especially compared to other high fashion houses like dior hermes etc
@@PPfilmemacher it was pretty odd for him to have fat shamed celebs that are now actually healthy and did it without starving themselves. Dude was rude but he’s not here anymore anyways.
Some of these comments are so INACCURATE. I lived in Paris & had the Pleasure of meeting Karl Lagerfeld @ an English Bookstore on rue de Rivoli. It was February 2005, & he was so kind as we had a conversation, joking back & forth. Nothing arrogant about Monsieur Lagerfeld! I never heard anything negative about Karl while living in France. He was loved & respected by everyone who actually knew him personally ❤
When I lived in New York, I always hear colleagues say they met “name celebrity here” and that he/she was the ‘nicest person in the world’. Newsflash, you cant summarize a personality in a simple public encounter. Sry, just get so annoyed whenever i hear these “ i met mariah carey/johnny depp/donald trump/ michelle obama at a bar and s/hes the nicest person in the world’ type of stories.
@@eyegengrau4432 Agree. But this also goes the other way. When people say they met some celebrity and they were so rude and arrogant etc and then they assume that this is how they are all the time. Maybe they were just having a bad day.
@@Sam-oo1uo my point is that nearly 100% of the time ppl describe a celebrity as being “sooo nice” or “the nicest person ever”. IN OTHER WORDS, they had no real personal connection with them, and are trying to pretend they have a new celebrity BFF.
Because of watching him , I "be my own sense of style and learned that fashion is a culture mirror not just wearing expensive clothes & named brands .... it's more about personality & self expressing..... May his soul rest in peace ☮️
Met him many times While I worked for Caroline of Monaco 🇲🇨 He would call her every day They were close I stayed at two of his homes A nice man Very humble
No body ever goes to hell, everyone who dies no matter what life style they lived, good, bad, ugly people want to believe they are resting in peace, boy are people in for the biggest horrific no way back, no second change surprise of their eternity!
I don't know that's one of the sad is come on Coco she was the badest and a boss!!! Then McQueen was very sad also Gianni Versace and Guccio Gucci were very sad!! At least Karl lived a long life
He was a very talented man, I admire him very much. He has left an incredible legacy. What have the troll keyboard warriors ever done ? Go away. He will be missed ❤
I TRULY don’t feel Karl was appreciated later in life as he should have been …..and tho his brand remains….(it’s not well designed or produced) shame on y’all
Choupette is so lucky to have a loving owner like Mr Lagerfeld himself.May he rest in his eternal sleep❤ (FYI,Choupette is Karl’s beloved Birman cat and she is also famous,just like her owner whom she calls “Daddy”.)
