He was so professional and strict, just as high fashion should be

We are living in a society where speaking the truth makes you a controversial person...

Fashion has mostly been dominated by gay men. They have their own ideas about beauty. Hence why most straight men do not find super models bodies attractive or do they much care for most high fashion styles. It's up to the individual to decide if they want to follow the standard of high fashion. It's completely a choice. I don't understand why people get butt hurt an older gay man has a very specific ideal of what he thinks is beauty in a woman. Gay men are not sexually attracted to women, so they obviously won't find the curves of a woman sensual. They will have an idealistic idea of how they will dress and look because they haven't and won't spend their life with a woman in her highs and low. Amongst other things. So I wouldn't as a woman, be so inclined to be so bothered by what they set as a standard in the high fashion world, unless of course you want to be involved in it or like it yourself. Also Karl, to be fair was fat once. He's speaking from his own experience over being over weight and he's making valid points.

Beauty is subjective. You don’t have to subscribe to his standards. I don’t understand why people can’t just agree to disagree. It’s his lost if he did not want to have an inclusive line of clothes.

Saying you name is just going to get you cancelled in future generations. He’s German so speaks directly, and he’s a gay man who can make observations that maybe seen as catty or cutting. But above all he was a genius.

[selmahare]

Has he lied about anything? He's just brutally honest in a world where most people are either cowardly, stupid or fake. Why are facts deemed controversial now? Why is the truth deemed controversial? How is it fat phobia to point out the universal, commonly known fact that being overweight is unhealthy?! Honestly people need to leave Lagerfeld alone and get over their stupidity already.

[maryrose]

I didn’t find anything offensive in these clips

[Rumpelstiltskinsdaughter]

He has the balls to say the truth! I’m overweight and I 100% agree with him!

[enpi-me]

Controversial ?
He just speak facts about food and health : fat people have various problems related to their condition, such as diabete or strokes...

[XCssim_]

Fashion is not just about woman. The men's clothes in fashion are also very carefully crafted for a sculpted model, not for unhealthily chubby individuals.

The President for Fashion Icons . Carl Lagerfield makes a statement . Hardcore structured designer who created a brand for excellence.

[woobee]

He spoke from a professional perspective very honestly, in which a quality that is not very much understood by most people nowadays. The media's questions are from viewers' perspectives. good questions are being anwered well.

Karl has a clear mind. 👌 😊

[PoetryInMotion]

Dieticians would agree that being fat is unhealthy

[nnqwmum]

I think calling Pippa ugly was more controversial. He wasn't the best looking, especially in his younger days so, it's weird that he would be so harsh.

[roberto]

That Cuant was active interviewing in 2012 ??? Ffs

[blurdreamer]

He is right, supermodel work their ass off to have a perfect figure to model, to be desire. hired someone fat to model is just big NO.

[lemmysverruca]

There are ~9, 000-18, 000 deaths of women from anorexia compared to ~2, 000, 000 deaths from obesity worldwide each year. So there are about 100-200 times more deaths from obesity. Yes, anorexia is more dangerous per individual because it kills women at a lower age, but since there are way more women being obese, the overall effects of obesity are way worse.

[gloriahota]

About the skinny models conversation, I think he is right on that part .

[NL]

Controversial because he said the truth.

[RLF]

Being anorexic can lead to death by starvation. Heart failure and other causes. Being obese can lead to death by cancer, diabetes, heart attack, and stroke.

Neither is healthy.

Both are mental health disorders and require the right therapy and therapist.

Never make fun of and put down humans, it can and does do lasting psyche damage. And can even cause them to commit suicide.

Have compassion, ❤, understanding.
