Post a Totally Random Moment From Fashion History...

[blueorchid]

When Oscar de la Renta was angry with Grace Mirabella for not including any hats in a September issue of Vogue. (I read this in her memoir).

Rafs eyes are giving childhood trauma.

 

[Nimsay]

Alaia sounds delusional and bitter and salty. Like when I was younger and less serious about participating in society this attitude would be cute. Now, Im so repelled by it. It's not a chic attitude; not suited for international business. His business is small because of his attitude its that simple...

Just let us enjoy your work. Yes they will know Anna because she attached herself to Lagerfeld... Anna isnt letting anyone mess with her legacy

I agree on both parts, KL not being a couturier but a stylist and Azzedine is 100% right about AW; she has no taste, in just into business and PR, and scares people. She's supposedly the power queen in fashion but she can't offer more than tenniswomen and a rather infamous hollywood family in the weakest covers and eds.

Karl's comments about Alaïa and Pierre Bergé in his deranged interview for Numéro in 2018

I feel like what makes all that conflict so great is they were all talented and worthy opponents. I was just thinking oh wow wouldn't it be fun if we had that today, but idk if I'd care if Jacquemus called Kim Jones fat or something. Actually maybe I would lol that would be funny but you know what I mean.

 

[IndigoHomme]

Not from the fashion industry, but still funny:

When in 2011 'El triunfo del amor' (a Mexican Soap Opera) create a character inspired by John Galliano named 'Luciano Ferretti'

Fun fact: a menswear store adopted that name for their rental suits business, LOL

The disappearance of Christophe Decarnin.

He brought Balmain back from the dead in 2006, did not attend his show in March 2011 amid reports from NYT that he had "stopped communicating with the company's management" and was officially out a month later.

Flash forward to 2014, he became CD of... Faith Connexion; and has been pretty elusive ever since.

God knows how I love Azzedine but I’ve always found this interview a bit intellectually dishonest.

But he was right when he said that Karl’s motto wasn’t a great example for young talents. He was able to do what he did in his 70s and 80s because he had 50 years of career behind.

I wonder how he considered Yves though if Karl isn’t a couturier. Yves had it easier than Karl technically as he got to Dior and then created his own brand. Out of their whole generation he is the only one who had a background as a seamstress or modéliste.

And then I wonder if he would have loved Anna Wintour if she wore ALAÏA.
Her style is what it is. It suits her. I preferred the conservative style of Franca for example. But are Katie Grand or Carla Sozzani good dressers? I take Anna all day next to them even if they wears ALAÏA all the time.

I must admit she's definitely grown into her looks now and is just as striking as her mother

can we have a thread of these?

 

[blueorchid]

Paula Yates asking Karl: "What do you like doing in bed?" (but the interview is kind of cute, when he confesses the bad foods he likes)

 

[squilliam]

This aesthetically controversial 1965 wedding dress by Yves Saint Laurent.

I've always referred to that dress as the couture tampon.

The disappearance of Christophe Decarnin.

He brought Balmain back from the dead in 2006, did not attend his show in March 2011 amid reports from NYT that he had "stopped communicating with the company's management" and was officially out a month later.

I recall something about him going to a mental health treatment facility. I remember it was significant because it was shortly after Galliano's outburst/breakdown and before that McQueen's passing, some people wondered if these big designers were being pushed too hard.

On another note, Lady Gaga at the Mugler show where several girls nearly tripped. And Dolce & Gabbana's gold Motorola Razr
