The FiFi Report 319

It’s more fabulous quotes from King Karl!
WWD reports he has canceled his Paris show and is going Masstige ( mass prestige) and online.

It’s based on the idea of “mass elitism.”

“I feel that it is almost a duty to do this with my name: it’s the way to modernity”

“My dream is to do very expensive lines like Chanel and Fendi and very inexpensive things”

“I don’t believe in anything in between….Today people wear T-shirts and jeans with exceptional things.”

“They’re my burka … I had an interview once with some German journalist - some horrible, ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists - maybe a week after - and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me, “It’s impolite; remove your glasses.” I said, “Do I ask you to remove your bra?”

“I admire porn… And I personally only like high-class escorts. I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy. And for the way the rich live, this is possible.”

“That’s why I always say, when people talk about not using fur, “Are you rich enough to make an income for the people in the north who live from hunting? What do you want them to live off of when there’s nothing else to do?”

“People I’m really friendly with have faxes. Anna Wintour has one. We speak via fax. And in Paris I send letters to people.”

“There came this new line from Hedi Slimane at Dior, that you needed to be slim to wear. It said, “You want this? Go back to your bones.” And so I lost it all. I lost 88 pounds and never got them back.”
