For the record, by 1993, Karl was running Chloe, Chanel, Chanel Haute Couture, Fendi, And ran his own line in his name. That's 5 collections. Each collection has 2 shows for spring/summer, autumn winter. 5 collections, ten shows a year. He was surely busy!
He was a hugely prolific designer for hundreds of small, unknown brands. He was paid a great deal to do some dept. store designs, some blouses and skirts for many unknown companies. You probably have worn one of his designs without knowing it. He was an idea factory, buying thousands of books, collecting everything on photography, interior design and fashion from all over the world. He was known to take in struggling, upcoming designers and let them live in one of his houses, tons of people were always guests of his for months, even years. He was extremely eccentric before he took over channel. There are eyewitness accounts of him at a French beach, wearing a one piece "thong" bathing suit, high heels, sunglasses and carrying an enormous salami! Yikes!
@@karyannfontaine8757 Thank you! He was like everyone else in that he had his flaws. When you're famous, everything is hugely magnified. He was more than anything else, an extremely hard worker. He worked every day, all day, no matter what. On vacation, he was looking around constantly, drawing ideas, making notes, always. He was ridiculed by a lot of the people whom he helped. He knew it too. I think his feeling was to be completely eccentric would put a barrier between him and those who would ridicule him. There are some really good books on his life, and he is mentioned in tons of bios by people like Jerry Hall, a Texas model who went to Paris completely broke and became a giant superstar and married Mick Jagger in the 70s. Her friends there lived with Karl for ages. I didn't like a lot of his views or attitudes towards women, but he was never abusive in a personal way, it was all gay, gossipy camp sound bytes. I'm not excusing it, I just think because he wasn't a saint and incredibly rich, people were angry that he wasn't a gentle philanthropist. I've said so many really stupid, thoughtless things in my life, and I'm a big activist against abuse and speak out against it. But I've spoken in anger or mindlessly a bunch of times, or had views when I was younger that I cannot believe I ever entertained!! Being famous would mean it was all a permanent thing. Thank God I never have to worry about it. I believe there is a big difference between saying catty remarks about someone's weight or looks and pulling an R. Kelly!!! People aren't physically and emotionally harmed by some stupid comments. That's not the same as targeting someone for constant bullying. I'm making this very clear because people are very sensitive to all this, which is a product of ages of people getting away with very serious abuse. It will take a long time for people not to have an instant, knee jerk reaction to every single hint of it.
He wasnt rude, he was just totaly honest. As a german what is considered being rude in some contrys, honesty is considerd a virtue in Germany and France (no lying politness, like elsewhere). He was a hard working man till his end, very dilligent. He said, that after his dead the people that worked long years for him will be in his testament, so that they never have to work for somebody else again. You can critisize what you want, but have you achieved something in your life? RIP Karl.
Karl Lagerfeld was an icon of fashion , he has influenced many of my fashion designer friends . R.I.P to a Legend , you will be missed, i hope he has several protogeys that will continue his insperation and work for many years to come .
If you’re reading this, please remember that brilliance CAN be accompanied by kindness and empathy. I wish that this talented man had been a kinder human being.
Thank you! People tend too confuse rudeness with being "real". You can be real without alienating everyone around you. It takes real skill to tell the truth without being a insulting bore. He was a real rockstar personality, and it's almost encouraged for them to be assholes. They don't have to be, you're right.
Those americans, i am happy its different in france and germany; we don't like (false politenes) to forbid sombody to speak bis mind openly. Second i would prefer a honest dicussion to somebody who was just nice...
Mc Lovin I have loved ones in Europe, and I visit often. I understand your point, but I don’t think that empathy and tact equate to false kindness. Honesty doesn’t have to be unnecessarily brutal. Honesty can simply be mature. I appreciate your opinion, and I truly hope that your day (or evening depending on you time zone 😉) goes well.
I like that his misogyny and fatshaming was mentioned. Seeing everyone glorify him like the way they did casts a shadow on his flaws. He wasn't 100% perfect and it's good to remember the good and the bad about a person.
Being blunt isn't misogynistic and I don't think Adele cares about what he said. People who are usually offended by everything are the ones who are insecure about themselves.Which by the way,is what you're doing.
@@amisfitsdiary4489 No, I only reply because you think you know him when really you don't.Not everything and every person is black and white. So how you stop spitting on his grave and be in his shoes for one minute?
It’s interesting in all the videos of him I’ve watched, when he speaks ‘normally’ he’s speaking French. When he’s speaking English, he speaks with a German accent Nonetheless, he always looked bad ass with the black glasses and fingerless gloves
Karl seems very pleasant and nice. So what if she called a fat girl fat or joked about appearances? Only people obsessed with looks would be offended! He was a fashion designer he had every right
Most creative geniuses are objects of jealousy of small minded incompetent people who badmouth them for having high standards. If you won't respect art or your work they won't respect you.
Carlover88 Z The fact that you think knowing who some old asshole is makes you less of a person says a lot about you. Mainly that you’re small minded and shallow.
Rip Karl Lagerfeld we will miss you man will maybe not all of the people who are watching this video who are not fan of hes at all hope he's family will be ok i know it's hard to get over someone at died for a long time and I love your videos a lot on here they are sooo good on here and keep up the hard work making your videos on here guys
@@Coolinteresting876 I know, I was being silly. He was very obvious, even back in the fifties. I am not criticizing it at all, it was just more unusual at that time for a man to "act" gay, even if everyone knew he was.
he was very talented but lets not forget some of the horrible ideals he stood for. He was an open fat-phobic, misogynist, and endorsed poverty and suffering from the fashion industry.
@0 1 His accent has nothing to do with it. His actions make him seem like a jerk. I used the verb "sound" in a more figurative sense. I can also tell you that there are a few languages that belong to the same family as German - English (yes), Dutch and Scandinavian languages.
@Matt Frazier I got a slightly different impression of him after watching this video. Some people with money and fame simply think they are allowed to do whatever they please and say mean things, and they would still be quoted. That kind of impression.

Did he gives his inheritance to his cat?
Is his butler trying to kill it so he gets the inheritance?
Yes, a big part
Yes a big part but he also said people like his driver and chef who have been with him for like 25 years "will be well taken care of"
No,
he said that people that worked long years for him will be in his will, so that they never have to work for another person again.
LMAO leave it to miss mojo to be the ONLY one to pronounce Hedi Slimane correctly! Even fashion journalists mispronounce it!
We're quite meticulous when it comes to pronunciations! :)
What an inspiration. So hard working and ingenius in his designs. He made life better for everyone.
and employed.many.people
I would think ppl who know who Karl is would know these facts.... he's famous in the fashion world
I love that he was so enamoured with the cat that he refused to give her back.
I like that his misogyny and fatshaming was mentioned. Seeing everyone glorify him like the way they did casts a shadow on his flaws. He wasn't 100% perfect and it's good to remember the good and the bad about a person.
Being blunt isn't misogynistic and I don't think Adele cares about what he said. People who are usually offended by everything are the ones who are insecure about themselves.Which by the way,is what you're doing.
I'm very insecure no doubt, but Karl is still a misogynist. Are you insecure also? Is that why you felt the need to comment on my comment like so?
@@amisfitsdiary4489 No, I only reply because you think you know him when really you don't.Not everything and every person is black and white. So how you stop spitting on his grave and be in his shoes for one minute?

So sad to see such a creative and amazing man pass rip
It’s interesting in all the videos of him I’ve watched, when he speaks ‘normally’ he’s speaking French. When he’s speaking English, he speaks with a German accent
Nonetheless, he always looked bad ass with the black glasses and fingerless gloves
RIP!! Multi talented, God gifted, super sensitive and extremely perceptive, legendary and irreplaceable Karl.
I don’t know the first thing about fashion, but some of his designs are remarkably beautiful.
Choupette is a millionaire kitty and only 7 years old. Long life to her!
He was a dj at a radio station in NY😂
i love cats but two maids & a personal chef for one? Gimme a break..!
If you have the means, why not? He never had children.
@@ValarieLopezMueller I know but still it's a little excessive..!
if i could i would do this for my cat and anyone in my family. He's lucky he had the money. Also he let his cat 200mil
@@leonbarhoum4502 Why does one cat need that much $$? Better that he should've donated it to The Humane Society..!
This is an example of excess and economic injustice
He called Adele fat... And people were outraged because.....
but it was true.....
Sad that sometimes really creative people are also really horrible people.

I heard that he saved Coco Chanel.
he kinda did. The brand was struggling
He kinda did :D Chanel today is the biggest $ company for haute couture worldwide €£$

So?

Karl!
When i first seeing post about him on ig, i really had no idea who he is.
I already knew all these facts, wtf MSMOJO?!?!?
I knew all of these
The king is dead long live the King 👑
Who is the new king?

"death in February of 2018"?! Yeah, right
Which sunglasses is he wearing?
Why didn't you make this video before his death? does everyone has to be a trend or famous after he died?
Who?
he looks great

No his friend left the cat w/him. ( I think🤔)

To much money and very very odd, the collar thing is weird it's not hiding a old dudes neck it just draws attention to hanging skin.
To me you can have too much money, I'm very comfortable the way i am i don't go without.
That is me and my opinion, and there is yours too. The joys of a comment box.
@@allenjohnson7686 too much money?????? Wtf...
I disagree the collar thing is dope af and hanging skin is something normal when your old
I liked his detachable collar. It was very old fashioned. The last time I saw one being worn was 1968.
Its a slippery slope when you start talking about marrying pets. Next thing you know, somebody's banging their cat or something.
Rip
Adele is too fat? Well she obviously agreed
an outspoken attitude and irreverent tone is a bad trait? well I find your accent and this article very cliched and without any wit to it.
TOO FULL OF HIMSELF
he was very talented but lets not forget some of the horrible ideals he stood for. He was an open fat-phobic, misogynist, and endorsed poverty and suffering from the fashion industry.
He sounds like just another rich jerk. 🤷♀️
