After talking with journalist Philip Utz, the famous designer Karl Lagerfeld told many interesting and shocking things. This material aroused more interest than the last collection of the fashion designer. 84-year-old designer without embarrassment told about his attitude to the movement # MeToo, the perception of colleagues and plans for funerals ...
When asked about the complaints of the creative directors of fashion houses, Lagerfeld replied:
"I did not have to complain. Apparently, because of this my colleagues do not like me. I'm too fast and collected. I do not have time to think about where to sew the button. I'm a real machine. At one time, I was complaining about Azzedine Alaya. He said that I asked too fast pace of fashion industry. As for me, it's absurd! ".
Asked whether the designer thinks himself a genius, he said:
"Genius?! My mother called me a dumbass and an ass. It seems to me that everything I did in my life was an attempt to refute her words. "
About men's fashion and harassment
Lagerfeld said that men's fashion, as such, had never been particularly interested in him. Although, of course, for himself he buys clothes. But it's unpleasant for him to draw sketches of clothes for "these stupid models". In addition, and from male models, there are constantly reports of harassment:
"No, please, do not leave me with these wretched creatures alone!".
On the movement for the rights of women victims of violence, the fashion designer also spoke with obvious skepticism and even a negative:
"I've had enough of this #MeToo. Most of all I was surprised why these starlets were silent for two decades before they decided to speak on this score. In addition, all these stories do not have witnesses, although I hate Harvey Weinstein. But Carla Templer I'm sorry, I do not believe that he could pester somebody. The model said that he tried to pull off her trousers. So, if you do not want to take off your pants, do not go into the modeling business - go straight to the monastery. "

At the end of the conversation, the designer stated that he did not want any funeral:
"In my will, there are clear indications that I want to be cremated. And let my ashes connect with the ashes of my mother and my cat, if she suddenly also die by that time. "
