Karl Lagerfeld 

This week was the met gala and it was a way to celebrate Karl Lagerfeld’s work… which was very controversial considering how bad he spoke about women, the metoo movement, Michele Obama, being fatphobic and most importantly because he called Princess Diana stupid did not help his case at all; some people boycotted the met gala because they didn’t like Karl.

This is my opinion.

As someone who loves fashion and everything aesthetically pleasing, I’ve always loved Karl Lagerfeld’s work; I didn’t like the man behind the designs but I loved his work. I’ve always liked black and white, turtle necks, high fashion, and shoes that aren’t backless, Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton… and Karl was behind most of the fashionable brands. He was extremely talented and he was the only man who could revive channel back in the day because it was a dying brand. He worked for balmain, Chloe and he made all of these brands more famous. 

Yes he said some pretty awful things but he was hurting after he lost his partner although that doesn’t excuse his action and everyone has the right to choose whether or not they will still continue to support his brand or not. In my opinion, I recognize the fact that “ hurt people hurt other people “ Karl was hurting and in the past, he was very kind… there are some things that happened behind closed doors that we don’t know. When he started being hostile towards everyone he had no friends and only his bodyguard was at his side when he died in 2019. He was a very sad man, he didn’t even want a funeral but he did have one despite his wishes to be cremated as soon as he died. He left all his fortune and a mansion to his cat Choupette ( maybe that’s what I like the most about Karl Lagerfeld ! The fact that he loved his cat so much) 

Choupette is 11 years old and she is very famous. I love the story behind Karl, I love how talented and smart he was. I love his work and when I can afford it you best believe I will buy them!
