.:tba.: karl lagerfeld

I wrote a piece.
Short one.
Based on the interviews and articles I scoured the internet for.
Wow I love this mans life. His brain. Also I thought he was sexiest at ages 40-50 and again at ages 70-83 (because by 85 he gained weight again, but, I would still love him) Can you believe it. Have you seen a hottie woman at age 75? Let me see the picture.

Anyway this is what I wrote. I want to update this post with all the great articles, interviews and videos I found.

.:
quality was lost
there is no ugly vintage.
“bad taste came after, with the industrial era”
luxurious products are exclusive by price due to the quality of craftsmanship and paramount design.
when the quality fell, the talentless flourished, bad taste became the norm.
the beauty of well and long crafted pieces and objects vanished with
the new rise of modernism, fast food, minimalism, the attention civilization lost on object creation by an individual has caused a rift in the collective psyches concept of worth in a way that disconnects the self from environment. the cause and effect concept has become diluted and washed thin which diminishes the value of time spent reflecting the origins of our world while creating a simple meal from scratch, hemming a piece of cloth, to building an entire city.
the standard of quality has always been defined by luxury, but when money becomes disconnected from its origin luxury becomes distasteful and stale.

There are no pictures of Karl Lagerfeld undressed. Not a single one! I cannot find a inch of his skin apart from his face, neck, and hands. Amazing!

The coat i made has the same colour scheme as this awesome karl lagerfeld skirt, i even have shoes like that. but my coat is floral crepe(?) and a lighter denim with black.

my coats already already coming apart

i hand sewed the sleeves and bottom part

here i am no make up turning 40 in a few months!!! (edit - i have to delete the pic. im so ugly! wtf! i just found this pic searching my name on google and i gagged! lol!!!)

tried wearing the coat today and im already over it, its like an inch too small around my shoulder / arms so i want to make another one already using the pattern i made from it, but after seeing this skirt from karl lagerfeld im really stoked on my choice of denim on the inside and kinda wanna wear it for a bit. and also because it goes well with the only warm scarf i have left (black cashmere sleeves) there are other coats to refurbish but not any fabric or money. well all i need is black really. and a lining. none of my old clothes are around to reuse as linings etc, they all got stuck in manila and theres no way for me to get them sent or anything. hope my uncle and aunt dont throw my stuff away. really needed those memories intact. anyway i saw a picture of karl lagerfelds apartment and it was like ultra modern and read about his concept of making something so perfect then going onto the next, not living in the past at all, like his housing. and what surrounded him. he probably never had to do dishes or laundry or clean the bathroom or anything undignified like that, and thats what made him so cool cos he could afford not to... to be choupettes maid ! ive been going on and on about him on my aromatherapy twitter. i really want to smell his perfumes too. so many ideas i thought of and realized were his after reading more about his career... sighing.

i've been binge watching interviews and reading articles and summaries of his life and love it all. his quotes are hilarious.
and yeah, been very worried about the quality of the current clothing trend worldwide (the sweatpants quote)

what a man!

so ill take my time making my clothes because the quality will show. i didnt think this coat would turn out so well. damn its too small! of course i forgot anything you make well will look great!
