Haute Gossip; Monsier Lagerfeld Trashtalks

Before arriving in Portland while on the airplane, I was looking at some of Karl Lagerfeld's quotes, it turns out this famed couture fashion designer has a sharp tongue. Let's see what he has to say about the following;

On Michael Kors- " With his big smile and gestures, he reminds me of a sales assistant in a Midwest department store..... make that on the seventh floor."

On Yves Saint Laurent/ probably his biggest rival- "For Yves it was torture, torture, torture.... And why tell people you suffered to make a taffeta dress, when you made the same dress as you did six months ago? Please! People buy your dresses to be happy, not to know about the dramas of a crying alcoholic!"
"Yves was working for Dior. Other young people I knew were working for Balenciaga, whom they thought was God, but I wasn't so impressed."

On Stella McCartney- "Chloe should have taken a big name, They did, but in music, not fashion. Let's hope she's as gifted as her father.""Oh please, how can she be in business with Gucci while posturing in this overly dramatic way? It’s deeply hypocritical of her...Everyone knows Gucci has made zillions of dollars by working with leather."

On Lindsay Lohan:"She's somebody you want to protect, because she plays dangerously with her own life."

On Azzedine Alaïa- "If you want to see a retrospective of Alaïa, just look at what he's doing now.''

On Coco Chanel:Reporter- What would you do if she (Coco) walked in now and said: "What the f*** are you doing with my fashion house?" Karl: I would say, "Darling, this is no longer your business. F*** you!
