Oh, Karl! What would a fashionable life be without you? (And your friends comments on the new economic climate….)
• “Luxury is for the rich, not the Nouveau riche.” - Karl backstage at Chanel couture.
• “Bling is over. Red carpety [sic] covered with rhinestones is out. I call it ‘the new modesty.’ ” on the economy to New York Times. Modest.
• “We have no budget, we do what we want and throwing money out the window brings money back in through the front door. The bottom line is that I don’t deal with the bottom line” Karl on the budget at Chanel. Very Modest.
• “It’s great to see things you may not buy - because you don’t have the money - but it is very ugly to think they shouldn’t exist because you can not buy them.” Ugly.
• “I see it like a cleaning up - it was too rotten anyway - so it had to be cleaned up,”. On the economic meltdown. Ugly.
• “People have different kinds of dreams. After all, people need a handbag, there are cheaper handbags. But if you can buy a beautiful one and if that’s your dream to buy, why not? I can be interested in a $20 million diamond I will never buy, without desiring the diamond”. Dream on
• “If you want only things you can afford, it’s boring.” Oh Karl . Tell me about it.
• “When the economy changes, it’s not like you want to start eating bad-tasting chocolate.” – Nina Ricci designer Olivier Theyskens to WWD. Now out of a job?
• “It’s hard to look sexy without looking angry.” Kanye West to Mischa Barton in the front row
