With the Mistress still away, I know he would have done a post on the passing of Karl Lagerfeld, being in a fashion related field. As Social Director around here, I know the Mistress well and this quote of Lagerfeld should sum it up.
"Sweatpants are a sign of defeat, you've given up. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants."
As you may be aware the Mistress feels the same about sweats.....and Crocs. Farewell Lagerfeld....giver of the rudest quotes.
How very sad. Though all of us must make that journey it is always sad for those left here. May he find the perfect balance of rude....
ReplyDeleteSweat pants are for comfort not fashion, and I'm very comfortable these days! You may quote me. I've heard of people like him, you know, "fashion people"? It's just not within my frame of interest. R.I.P, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAm I to be banned now?
we shall see if the houseboys gain you entrance.
DeleteUh oh, I'm doomed!
DeleteRead up on him on Wikipedia. Interesting life (and also shows how little I know about fashion :-)
ReplyDeleteMiss Moorecock....the mistress is sure to strike you just using the Croc word!!!!!!!!! He was definitely a odd man.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ucle Karl. He’ll be missed. He brought all kinds of fun to the house of Chanel.
ReplyDeletesweats are for around the house and at the gym AND NOWHERE ELSE! the mistress doesn't seem to mind my crocs.
ReplyDeletehas she seen your crocs??? you better be glad she didn't skin you....she demises those things and once threated to shove mario batali's pair up his ass.
DeleteTruly a great designer; I'm so fortunate to own two of his outfits (purchased long time ago.) I agree with Mistress...it's appalling how people leave the house. I even still wear a gridle.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a tremendous amount of talent and have extraordinary vision to stay on top of the fashion world for as long as he did. His quick wit was also greatly appreciated and his rude comments need to be heard by some.
ReplyDeleteI loved his work and his quotes are a riot.
ReplyDeleteA catty queen, but a devoted lover to his partner died.
He was very outspoken - one of the very few to make me laugh and put that fat cup merkel down a peg or two and put her where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteThat's why leggings are pants. Well, some of them anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat quote is so true! I want to write it out and slap it on my wardrobe.

A wonderful, succinct, non-worshipful post. Thank you!
