He lived for his art but never took it seriously. He put up a very sophisticated persona but his answers tell us that deep inside he was just a very lucky guy, following his path while enjoying the ride. RIP Karl

He stayed true to the Chanel brand as he took over and added his own artistry without diminishing but enhansing instead the signature look of Chanel.. A stroke of great artistry and very perceptive to.immortalize the house of Chanel ..he will be greatly missed a great designer thank you Karl lagerfeld.

She is from my hometown, and when she speaks English, the melody of her home accent remains. When Lagerfeld spoke German, he sounded exactly as in English or French, he was even more whitty as in a foreign language.

Fantastic person, Lagerfeld. Great sense of proportion and order, in clothes and in life. Understands himself as a worker fortunate to be in a position to do his work exactly as he likes, in the best ways, and understands too that he has an obligation to that privilege. Thus, the sense of proportion. The best people are never arrogant.

@lovelyrainflowerfarm Год назад

I love his effort not to let external factors affect his process as an artist. He knows that when he goes to work it’s to be an artist. If the clothes sells, it sells. If people like it, they like it. If people are attracted simply to the name. Whatever. His work is art. And an artist cannot produce authentic pieces while thinking of how to please other people. Many people try to analyze Karl by the brand side of things, when you really need to examine his from an artistic viewpoint.

This quality of his to be so creative, fully self expressed and without qualms just fascinates me. I wonder if its a wisdom that comes with age or is a part of his personality make up.

@meredithheath5272 Год назад

While he had some abuse, esp. from his mother, she DID allow him free reign and support of his endeavors and aspirations, as did his father - at least with his father's financial support. His parents, as well as he, knew he was gay from an early age, and had a laissaiz faire attitude about Mr.Lagerfeld's sexual orientation - even from his parents! So, there seem to be several factors in Karl's attitude and resulting success. Very fortunate man, overall.
