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

[@2604ernesto]

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

[@Monalisa-v5j]

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.

[@pablojavieralfaro8999]

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

[@mariaalano3077]

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

[@Lawrence_619]

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"

[@qiuhuiwang693]

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.

[@finalmattasy]

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

[@user-ov2fc5sd1e]

IKR LMAO

[@selenaclarke]

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

[@freeandgee596]

What a legend

[@SilentRunningRedux]

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.)

[@dank7256]

I like him even more now

[@BltchErica]

1:11 haha Virgil Abloh

[@alright14]

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

[@brookegoslin]

Cute Human Creative Unique ! ❤️

[@mariadej.torresdelatorre1345]

I loved that man!

[@zbn-meinewenigkeit1905]

The list is not that short. Lol

[@nanli8136]

The Boss

[@abcdef5533]

Miuccia PRADA 😍

[@saerdnakaliber472]

Savage, that was hilarious!

[@Milton754]

The list isn't that short.

[@seanradford127]

RIP🙏🏾

[@eleonorasorgon414]

Bravoooo forse ever and ever 🌹🌟

[@leonardozuniga6814]

THANKS KARL

[@teejayoz1221]

the legend

[@handsom3jam955]

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

[@zbn-meinewenigkeit1905]

Not mine

[@lordofskull4267]

You are right, Karl!🤔

[@teresatsai8753]

He was so funny

[@angelinimartini]

Talking about Kanye West for sure.

[@aldogot]

Virgil Abloh

[@jacobhelander4066]

He is not talking about Kanye. Kanye IS NOT trying to prove his intellectual worth through fashion. He has already proved it through his music. Kanye is expanding his vision into the fashion world. Lagerfeld is talking about Raf simons, Demna Gvasalia, Rick Owens…

[@pueraeternus111]

He was throwing shade at Rihanna, Beyonce, etc.

[@selenaclarke]

As we all do

[@AndreaAth]

As he should 😅

[@lauradowney7167]

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

[@AP-jg1sb]

nothing wrong with having deep thoughts. I think what KL was referring to is the fact that some designers act and behave in their craft and work as if they were intellectuals and artists, thus elevating their statuses. Whereas he thinks that philosophy is a discipline of its own that should be pursued professionally (university, writers etc..). The same way dressmaking is a discipline of its own as well...

[@STUDY0421]

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!

[@AndreasServo]

Super

[@diamondbolton2944]

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

[@stanbalo]

His most hated is YSL..his archenemy

[@yokchew90]

I wonder what he thinks about martin margiela himself

[@dsfdgvwesfefewf9068]

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

[@dsfdgvwesfefewf9068]

Givanchy... I can't

[@dellevanth]

0:36 Did he said "Miuccia Prada"?

[@Seph.ackerman]

Yes. Why?

[@dellevanth]

I had a totally different perspective from him, I'm kinda impressed & glad at the same time.

[@verenahuber8242]

Dany Dt

[@dabi5144]

Dany Dt True talent recognizes true talent

[@antheabredenkamp2930]

Lol, "the list is not that short"

[@mrsdee47]

How annoying is this interviewer?? Nodding, fake frowning, fake laughing. I am surprised that Mr Lagerfeld was so accomodating.

[@MissCee370]

I know - it's like a children's TV presenter! And what was up with the constant reaction shots of her exaggerated nodding?!

[@BltchErica]

Haha Karl was based

[@nessieness5433]

Karl, Karl, Karl... and Karl, and Karl, annoying way of addressing your interviewee...

[@leepakim]

maybe she wants to show the audience that she can call him with his given name

[@selenaclarke]

I think shes a delight & he did also

[@bringiton5282]

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

[@NA-oe1dh]

bring it on Maria Grazia Chiuri

[@kxs505s4]

Raf Simons

[@PeoplesChoiceofficial]

hahaha love

[@Freddy-ll6wr]

There is no need for reaction shots. Her opinion on Lagerfelds view is irrelevant.
