He's the Owner/Editor of The Business Of Fashion... But at the end who cares about the interviewer, KARL is absolutely the best designer alive! and it's such a pleasure just to hear him talk. As long as Karl is talking, I am thrilled don't you think? :D
He has great insight in economics too about the copy of luxury. There is an economist called Steven Chueng. He said copies help the brand to promote its products and once the people get rich, they would buy the real one, and that people will not expect the copy as the one with quality- luxury is exclusive because of its unique quality.
Nothing is wrong really. He is very intelligent and has character. About the glasses, it's for a kind of protection, it's not easy to be a celebrity with everyone's eyes on you all the time and no one expects you to fail in any way. Besides he is German :P
In fact he wore glasses because of his small eyes that he didn't like that mother had complexed him like for his hands and he took the opportunity to take power naps behind them.
I don't know the first thing about fashion, but Lagerfeld is a genuinely interesting and fascinating person to listen to! He sounds intelligent, and maybe a little bit crazy.
None of these haters have even an iota of his experience, talent and vision. Just a bunch of bottom feeders. So much easier to sit around, do nothing, become no one and criticize those who strive to make more of life and contribute something that will live well beyond their own human existence. All hail Karl and the house of Chanel
He's absolutely correct .....and he should know since he lives a genuinely luxurious life. But even rarer than people who live luxurious lives, are people who have genuinely exquisite taste.
There's a simple thing called The Art of the Interview, and few people these days are willing to to the work, and homework, before an interview. Major talk shows don't have the time or interest to read and author's book before interviewing the writer. Their "interview" is really just a chat, and intentionally is kept shallow and brief. If you want to see some good interviewers here on TH-cam, search Dick Cavett, Charlie Rose, and most people from National Public Radio(NPR).
@rumrunner777 it's because he is a genius and i dont use that term lightly. if you have the inclination, view some of his haute couture collections and you can see what a true artist he is.
no, cuz Lagerfeld was evading all the questions, I think the interviewer did a superb job to keep him occupied. Why don't you try to interview him instead.
KL is brilliant. How did this young (inexperienced) fellow land the position to interview the head honcho from House of Chanel? Now, now... no naughty thinks.
do you think internet is good for fashion? answer: "it is not for me to judge..it is there..people like it..it may fade away it may not.." :D very wise man. :D
The irony of what he is saying, that you have to keep up with the times or you become vintage, but then also saying he doesn't like reading a screen and would rather read a paper. LOLOL
ciyean I get what you're saying lol, but I think the reason he doesn't like screens is just simply his personal preference. He obviously appreciates and admires modern technology. I mean hell, he even compared them to art. I think the vintage thing was referring to older people who bash on iPads/smartphones/whatever simply because they are new, instead of giving modern technology the credit it deserves.
+ciyean exactly i was so surprised and a bit disappointing that is how he feels about the internet. I think he is too old to really view the internet on what its doing and how its affecting society but it seems he just views it as some thing outside of his perceptions. Marketing is pretty vital in the success of selling products an being profit so a company can survive; i would hope this would change for the survival of Chanel in the future.
I think what Karl means is that reading on paper allows him to use his imagination, perhaps when in deep thoughts. On a computer screen, there are many other visuals to distract us, such as symbols, icons, scroll bars, menu bars, graphics, photos, pop up windows, etc. and that sometimes distract us from our imagination. His fashion business, however, needs to keep up with technologies, trends, and social media to stay relevant.
omg..i have been slapped!!....i always thought Karl would be an ass like a lot of designers..but this man is actually pretty interesting...i love listening to him haha..he has something to say about everything..niice
i think the point is people like to think that they are living in the life of luxury because theyve taken out bank loans and scrimped and saved for a chanel bag or a luxury product, or if they cant afford the real thing then buy a fake then try to pass it off as the real thing, just to exude that air of importance when all you are is someone wearing a fake product, luxury is afforded to the few people who can afford the high price tag it isnt for everyone just because people want the life of luxury it doesnt mean it can afforded
Well then I apologize sincerely to all 3 people reading with a thyroid problem. The fact is, Adele is not a size 10. Not a 12, 14 or even a 16. It's an unhealthy way to live. Which is exactly what I was addressing. Hilter? Haha... wow. I'm officially done. You can't argue with crazy. Have a nice day, take your medication. I need to disable e-mail notifications, really. To everyone else who just came to view this video and learn more from the seasoned Mr. Lagerfeld, I'm sorry this went on so long
What he doesn't understand is that to own a Chanel bag or clothes you have to be rich...and not all rich people who can afford the Chanel line, have private jets but yet live very luxurious lives etc...
I believe that he is saying that people mistake having a handbag as being luxurious. It's only one part of the package, the private jets and such are the rest. It doesn't have much to do with who should be allowed to own the bag specifically.
chultin8: I agree with you. He clearly means that very few people actually ever experience true luxury -- buying a $5000 handbag may be considered extravagantly luxurious for a middle-class person, but to women who have wardrobes filled with made-to-order Chanel Haute Couture, a production-line Chanel handbag is not exactly high-living. He is simply saying there is an entire world above and beyond the branded and marketed products affluent middle-class people consume as status symbols.
I get that they are status symbols to some people, but for the most part fashion regardless of the label is meant to be consumed, regardless of the price. People like what they like, they are going to buy what they want.
![Best of KARL LAGERFELD - [English subtitles available]](/img/n.gif)
Karl Lagerfeld should be heralded as one of the best (if not the best) fashion designers/artists/creative Gods/photographers.
I love Karl Lagerfield. He embodies class all the way. Truly the best of the best.
He's the Owner/Editor of The Business Of Fashion... But at the end who cares about the interviewer, KARL is absolutely the best designer alive! and it's such a pleasure just to hear him talk. As long as Karl is talking, I am thrilled don't you think? :D
Karl had better live forever!
I think the interviewer is just fine and dandy. He’s sincere.
He's the owner of the Business of fashion
We Are Who We Are.
Such an amazing soul, love Karl...
My mom sat beside him on a plane beore and she got to talk to him! He is THE master of fashion.............
lucky lady, your.mother. It would have been my dream
"Every period has the taste it deserves".
Genius.
He is so much more than fashion, the man is geniunely wise about life, that's what makes him a legend.
He has great insight in economics too about the copy of luxury.
There is an economist called Steven Chueng.
He said copies help the brand to promote its products and once the people get rich, they would buy the real one, and that people will not expect the copy as the one with quality- luxury is exclusive because of its unique quality.
I'm old-school ~ prefer newspapers and paperback books.
Nothing is wrong really. He is very intelligent and has character. About the glasses, it's for a kind of protection, it's not easy to be a celebrity with everyone's eyes on you all the time and no one expects you to fail in any way. Besides he is German :P
Nothing is wrong AND NOTHING IS RIGHT.
This second part of the sentence is perhaps even more important than the first one.
I think it can be a fashion statement. I'm not a huge fan of his small eyes, he does not look as iconic.
In fact he wore glasses because of his small eyes that he didn't like that mother had complexed him like for his hands and he took the opportunity to take power naps behind them.
Karl is a gift. LOL, the interviewer looks like a young Karl
Part of this interview was used in the Caro Emerald song 'The Maestro' , I didn't know who this man was before I heard that.
Knew him but couldn't identify him by voice. Also here because of the song!
06:01 "luxury in fact is something else"
I don't know the first thing about fashion, but Lagerfeld is a genuinely interesting and fascinating person to listen to! He sounds intelligent, and maybe a little bit crazy.
Luxury goods, one of the highest revenue sectors and growing. Excellent!
None of these haters have even an iota of his experience, talent and vision. Just a bunch of bottom feeders. So much easier to sit around, do nothing, become no one and criticize those who strive to make more of life and contribute something that will live well beyond their own human existence. All hail Karl and the house of Chanel
"They may live a life of luxury..but they dont have a life. living a life of luxury is different." :D VERRRRY WISE MAN. NO DOUBT!
LOVE THIS DUDE!!!! THATS ME IN HAIRSTYLING!!!
Karl is a beast for saying luxury is something else at 6:00
A very wise man Uncle Karl is.
@ 5:32 on the topic of Luxury...OUCH!! Karl...but so true.
He's absolutely correct .....and he should know since he lives a genuinely luxurious life. But even rarer than people who live luxurious lives, are people who have genuinely exquisite taste.
He is so genius and smart...
love him..and his work..so so pretty...

Karl is epic awesome and timeless! :) #insightful
Well done!
@rumrunner777 it's because he is a genius and i dont use that term lightly. if you have the inclination, view some of his haute couture collections and you can see what a true artist he is.
Lagerfeld has a common sense rare in the world of fashion.
no, cuz Lagerfeld was evading all the questions, I think the interviewer did a superb job to keep him occupied. Why don't you try to interview him instead.
@wvanderwahl I see what you mean about your points, but I think Amed may have been nervous. Must have been difficult to think of questions for Karl.
love the guy! genius
love the glasses
karl is so interesting and talented, so fun to follow!
Wonderful!
I wish I can meet him 1 day!
It is what it is ....enjoy!!!
Amazing man! :)
"every period has the taste it deserves"
LOL we derserve bad fashion ...
I thought he meant eating out a girl on her period.
+danielandhisguitar Yummy.
"it's us to up" is nice...
Guy's VERY humble.
excellent!!
this is what I find intelligence of fashion. He´s very smart !!!
I notice that every generations demands their own style; of course I do not have to agreed with it but neither judge
Great inspiration to the fashion industry...
That chair gives us the idea of him sitting in a wheelchair ! haha bless him.
very interessting..
KL is brilliant. How did this young (inexperienced) fellow land the position to interview the head honcho from House of Chanel? Now, now... no naughty thinks.
This guy is the coolest person ever, he's just l
Constantly like 'bitch please'
Karl for Love! J'taime Msr. Karl!
DUDE RULES!!!
The jet is owned by Marriott International out of Washington DC. But I'm sure Karl could buy one if he doesn't have one already
do you think internet is good for fashion?
answer: "it is not for me to judge..it is there..people like it..it may fade away it may not.."
:D very wise man. :D
I❤KL!
Ah yes instinct versus analysis he was a genius!
I love Lagerfeld.
Miss him yet
Lovely Karl.:)
he looks so badass
How come everybody is taking a shit on the interviewer? He was a little dull but I don't see anything especially negative about him...
The irony of what he is saying, that you have to keep up with the times or you become vintage, but then also saying he doesn't like reading a screen and would rather read a paper.
LOLOL

Didn't you just act really stupid?
+ciyean doesnt the newspaper publish shit every day, therefore its content is of the current times. dumb bitch

Horses for courses.
DER INTERVIEWER HAT DIE GLEICHE FRISUR
the interviewer seems to be very unexperienced.
HermanoAlegre he's gotten a lot better over the years, as an interviewer I mean. He's done very well for himself since founding Business of Fashion!
inexperienced, you mean.
@@allthingspelicia5735 bad manners to correct text...

So what he's saying that to own a Chanel bag you must be stupid rich.. Or you shouldn't own it..
What he doesn't understand is that to own a Chanel bag or clothes you have to be rich...and not all rich people who can afford the Chanel line, have private jets but yet live very luxurious lives etc...

Harris it's more about how you feel as a glittery person on the inside where it counts
He looks like an undertaker! Should get a part in The Adams Family.
I favorite your style,my . Kral laxfarfel was luxurious men. I pride of him.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Does he always wear glasses?
only smart ppl can understand what he talking about...
COCO CHANEL is the best.
ugh, this man would be a nightmare in a seniors home.
nope, he was evading all the questions.
@MarthaMyDear06 I MADE A MISTAKE HE NOT RASCIST HE LOVES ALL PEOPLE
Hello Walkman iPod 😂
This man is unusual..🤔🤔🤔
This interviewer doesn't seem experienced enough to interview Karl, I don't like how he handled the interview
The straightness of his collar makes his face look like a sack of jelly beans.
It bothers me the way the interviewer sits forward slanted. ;)
