He just said the whole truth!! I don’t understand why this would have to be considered controversial, he never promoted anorexia but healthy skinny vs fat from junk food that kills far more extensively and it’s dangerously considered as normal behaviour. It’s incredible how people refuse to see reality just because it’s inconvenient for them. 🤷‍♀️

I can only speak from my experience. up until i turned 30 & had to start taking a new medication was 110 lbs 5 ft 6. I ate whatever i wanted and was snacking constantly because my metabolism was so high. When i got on this medication my appetite went away so i wasn't eating anything more than maybe 2 popcicles a day i eventually made myself eat healthy meals but that was after i had gained all the weight. I gained 10 lbs every 2 wks until i got to 180lbs & i can tell you once i gained weight i could not do so many things i could when i was thin I couldn't squat & jump back up, i couldn't run for only a few seconds, even walking around a store getting groceries wore me out! My knees hurt so bad carrying that weight around & So many more things but my point is when i became overweight i felt like crap all the time vs when im my natural weight. So in my own opinion you ABSOLUTELY have more health problems than when you’re thin.

Fashion has mostly been dominated by gay men. They have their own ideas about beauty. Hence why most straight men do not find super models bodies attractive or do they much care for most high fashion styles. It's up to the individual to decide if they want to follow the standard of high fashion. It's completely a choice. I don't understand why people get butt hurt an older gay man has a very specific ideal of what he thinks is beauty in a woman. Gay men are not sexually attracted to women, so they obviously won't find the curves of a woman sensual. They will have an idealistic idea of how they will dress and look because they haven't and won't spend their life with a woman in her highs and low. Amongst other things. So I wouldn't as a woman, be so inclined to be so bothered by what they set as a standard in the high fashion world, unless of course you want to be involved in it or like it yourself. Also Karl, to be fair was fat once. He's speaking from his own experience over being over weight and he's making valid points.

I find most of what he did actually very wearable by most body types, just not by overweight people. But there are brands that do have overweight collections now, so I’d suggest the people who prettily criticise him look into those instead, I can assure them that doing so would be a lot more productive to them. As for it being in any way “his loss” the numbers say very differently, because most people in the world are not overweight, thank god _cause it’s a health problem, in case people haven’t heard! He was the best paid and most successful designer of all times, so I really can’t see how a few overweight people (mainly Americans) not buying his clothes constituted any issue to him, it so much didn’t that he stuck to his guns until he died. Making clothes for overweight women was not his calling, his thing, and quite frankly it wouldn’t be mine either. It was simply not his vocation, not what he liked to do. How can something as personal as personal taste, calling and vocation be so offensive to some is something that I will never get. It wildly defies all common sense and logic! It’s like we have been living in a totally mad, upside down world in recent years. You start by making exactly that point and then become senselessly back handed and illogical. Overweight people are constantly warned by doctors to lose the weight, because of the several serious health implications that being overweight brings; for once and for all, being overweight is not a body type, no one is born overweight; it’s a health hazard. It’s not the duty of any designer to cater to that and in doing so feed the madness. But having said that, because of greed again there are a few now who do, so if you are overweight go buy from those instead and leave people like Lagerfeld alone to live their vocation in their own terms, at will. With all the serious health implications that being overweight has, if you are overweight how is your priority not to lose weight, but to vociferate at Karl Lagerfeld because he doesn’t make dresses for you?! 😵‍💫🥴 I can’t, I just can’t with the insane levels of stupidity and just sheer madness.

What is so wrong with saying he doesn't design for every woman? Then he would be like walmart of fashion, it would loose the aesthetics and uniqueness of a designer, that's why he says if a woman identifies with his design or not they can buy it or not

CONTROVERSIAL? He's saying what doctors and psychologists would say 😂 However, he is not acknowledging that the completely flat stomach and abs culture is also bad. You see, abs are just for aesthetic...it doesn't make you stronger and it immediately goes away unless you obsessively control your carbs which isn't good for both mental and physical health

I love him nothing wrong with what’s he saying at all, he reminds me of my aunt she is a very blunt and honest hard working woman. This brings me comfort somehow I wish people could still be this honest today

Controversial? I support him. He told the truth!

Some people are just naturally skinny and they are offended when you think that they don't eat. They do. Stop judging them

His intelligence is miles beyond the interviewer's.

He's so right. Stop encouraging us to be fat it's not nice to look fat and not healthy either!

I don’t see a problem here

Models are thin because they are basically clothes hangars for the clothes they are modeling. The idea is for buyers to concentrate on the clothes and not on the model.

Nobody designs for every woman 👏👏👏

Saying you name is just going to get you cancelled in future generations. He’s German so speaks directly, and he’s a gay man who can make observations that maybe seen as catty or cutting. But above all he was a genius.

He said just the truth

He was fat he is right its not healthy

Has he lied about anything? He's just brutally honest in a world where most people are either cowardly, stupid or fake. Why are facts deemed controversial now? Why is the truth deemed controversial? How is it fat phobia to point out the universal, commonly known fact that being overweight is unhealthy?! Honestly people need to leave Lagerfeld alone and get over their stupidity already.

He is saying that being obese isn’t healthy. How is that controversial?

Karl didn’t care that people can’t handle truth.

I like how saying that obesity is bad for your health is somehow, controversial, rather than truthful. The majority of obesity in this country carries with it a plethora of additional health issues like pre-hypertension, pre-diabetic, diabetes, type two, joint, inflammation, vascular and circulatory issues, and the list goes on. Or, we could keep entertaining this illusion, that somehow just saying something is fine, makes it fine.

He SPEAK the TRUTH.. somebody just dont like the truth… thats brutally honest what he saying. ❤

I like ge speaks his minds and it’s true

he was the most honest dude in the industry. he speaks truths especially in 2023. fat acceptance is destroying society. i bet he was ready to break "fashion rules" if the girl had charm and magic

He spoke from a professional perspective very honestly, in which a quality that is not very much understood by most people nowadays. The media's questions are from viewers' perspectives. good questions are being anwered well. Karl has a clear mind. 👌 😊

What's controversial?...I heard nothing of the sort

I didn’t find anything offensive in these clips

Me either and I'm short and fat. Everyone is not going to look good in Chanel Valentino or Oscar Marc nor afford it, fashion is an illusion and escape or dream. People are just so sensitive and take everything literally out of context. Hell if you like it and can afford it buy it and be quiet about it if and vice versa.

so what is controversial here?

Nothing is shocking here. He was just explaining in a later interview that fashion was using thin girls on runways cause women are more likely to buy a dress on a thin girl than if seen on an heavier girl. Same things rules for the guys I guess, most men on runways have abs and very low body fat.

L O L lagerfeld himself was never skinny he was obsessed being homosexual he didn’t understand the scientific definition of healthiness he just gave his idea of healthy 😂

It's about adjusting the clothes, why are y'all acting like it's being raped? People nowadays just jump to conclusions. Saying this as someone who actually have their genital molested as a child not at the 'literally a child' age that the white people seem to infantalized themselves about. Yes, there were actual sexual assault cases happening in the industry and I'm glad it's called out because people deserve a safe work environment. But privileged White people nowadays to separate what is actually sexual assault and rape so not to trivialized what real victims go through because there are still lots women of color suffer real abuses but the media won’t pay attention to them since all the white girls hog all the attention & resources to their smallest 'problems'. The MeToo movement was started by black women then it was gentrified by the privileged white women playing victim to everything. This doesn’t just pertain to sexual assaults, it's also to missing people

I don't see why any of these statements were / are controversial. Just because Karl's statements were misinterpreted and misquoted by the media doesn't mean he was wrong. He clearly says fashion is an idealistic idea and the reality is totally different.

Honest and truthful. He himself was overweight and went on a diet to lose weight. We should care more about our health. i know there is a problem with anorexia but being overweight brings out a lot of seriuos health problems and many people don´t say or do much about it. He´s right.

he is right about everything!!!! well done, Karl, for being honest.

What would you expect a fashion designer to say? That he designs his creations for women who are clearly overweight? The clothes simply do not look very good on grossly overweight women. This is the truth of it.

So, when does he say anything controversial?

its like bay max to be a model for new collection of life passion with over weight models.

Lagerfeld is not totally WRONG but wrong in that he exists within our cultural idea of FASHION that dictates that style should be an expression of trends, movements and artistic conceits rather than an expression of our individuality and personal creativity. Our very notion of fashion is wrong and unhealthy for our existance as humans.

I don’t understand the controversy if your fat your unhealthy and shouldn’t be on the cover of a magazine if your to lazy to keep your health you shouldn’t be shown Karl has a point

Hes 85. He's been part of the 1% since birth. The fashion industry is vain and superficial. Why is the son of a Nazi officer's opinion relevant? He peaked in the 90s. BUT he does make a point that we are overweight and reaching morbidly obese in America. We DO eat far too much crappy fast food and lead a seditary lifestyle Obesity is a health issue.
