About fashion designers as fake intellectuals, he could not be more right

[mariaalano]

what a human being..True - dressmaking is dressmaking,
philosophy is philosophy.

[Monalisa-vj]

Its just a minutes interview for me, but also taught me something immensely. Say like, He‘s god like. He still makes me speachless, wow...R.I.P. Karl.

[ernesto]

I love the eloquently way of saying the truth that he had, amazing

[pablojavieralfaro]

. I love this man. He makes me laugh a lot. His brain was everything.

I never ran into Lagerfeld's brand of "shade"...but I dig how he conveys it. Basically, he's saying "go ahead dahling...you can ACT smart all you like...but Im still up here...and YOU are still down there"

A person who is good at one thing and dedicated to it is one of the best things that can happen to one and the world. Sadly that doesn’t always happen. Most of us think we are good at many things when in fact we are good at none.

I love this clip and I often quote Karl Kagerfeld on the distinction he draws between “fake intellectuals” and actual “dressmakers.” He could be quite unpleasant eg about other designers and “art directors” yet here he kindly doesn’t name those of whom he disapproves instead examples by name of those he holds in (good) esteem. He was himself apparently extraordinarily well read, making the comment here about dressmakers who present themselves as “philosophers” all the more powerful. (Rest in peace.)

STILL WATCHING?? PERFECT!!!
that voice at the end is possessively hilarious

[selenaclarke]

This reporter is perfect for this work. Just fabulous, I want to see her more

[alright]

Karl was low-key reading the designers. Perhaps, not everyone can be Karl.

[lauradowney]

I hope I'm not a fake intellectual my brain just thinks deep thoughts its just wired that way

[pueraeternus]

He was throwing shade at Rihanna, Beyonce, etc.

[handsomjam]

Was he really speaking about Andre Leon Talley at the end?

[STUDY]

He’s talking about Azzadine Alaia! Azzadine famously said, “Karl L has never touched a pair of scissors!” But Azzedine is- IMO- better than Karl!

[diamondbolton]

Having divested intellectual capacity could have granted him a more expansive understanding to some of his controversial views.

[MissHallikeri]

When I go out in my car I see men and women in western outfits who are sad. Like a fashion show

[yokchew]

I wonder what he thinks about martin margiela himself

[dsfdgvwesfefewf]

Please change "Michelle Prada" to Miuccia Prada in the subtitles, it's atrocious

[bringiton]

I'm curious to know which designers are pretentious to know if they are any good haha
Being pretentious is such an unpleasant way of spending your life
