The SCANDALOUS Life of Karl Lagerfeld
The 2023 MET Gala theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” will look at the history of one of fashion’s most legendary designers, Karl Lagerfeld. From his early days growing up in Nazi Germany to his big move to Paris where he worked for the likes of Pierre Balmain and Jean Patou, Karl always made a statement. His memorable friendship and falling out with designer Yves Saint Laurent as well as his transformation of fashion brands like Chloé and Fendi commanded excitement in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s he was appointed as Artistic Director of the dilapidated Chanel, and revived it with humor, wit, and craftsmanship that brought it back to prominence. From there his fashion show sets continued to drive his celebrity, while his controversial comments smeared his legacy towards his later years. But we break this all down in this MET Explainer!

"Yes, Karl was great in so man fashion-centric ways, but as a person he never seemed to develop kindness, open-mindedness and love. And so I question whether there was ever a 'line of beauty'. Not in his tweed suits, his fur jackets or his pen strokes, but in his heart and his mind" Oof, hitting the nail right on the head.

Nothing against the work of Lagerfeld, but I wish they'd chosen instead to pay tribute to Vivienne Westwood. When I think icon, among other descriptors, I think of someone who transcends the boundaries of their field. While the punk aesthetic was not her invention, you can't mistake a Westwood look for anyone else's.

Thank you for this amazing video! I’m a plus sized giant of a woman who is obsessed with collecting vintage Chanel from backwater places around the world (I’m a designer thrifting fiend haha). It will never fit me, it was never designed to fit me. Karl would have hated me and likely so would Coco Chanel herself. But I love it. I love the sordid history, the excellent quality, the house codes…. Everything! And yes, the knowledge that my collecting of these pieces in a ‘budget’ manner (for designer anyway) would make them turn over in their graves is slightly delightful 😂 Thank you again!

This is absolutely fascinating. I'm not a fashion girl but I love to learn interesting things about interesting people and you are a compelling and engaging storyteller. Sitting here in my work swag sweatshirt and old pajama pants, nodding and muttering in agreement as you describe Karl's background and come-up as a designer in his own right. I stop everything for Luke when he's got something to learn me.
Amazing research so detailed. I knew quite a lot about his upbringing since I was also born in Hamburg, Germany and had seen Karl Lagergeld being interviewed in many hamburg based late night talk shows during his lifetime. He was always a mystery to Germans to French people I think to everyone but so talented. One of my memories of him bringing his sketchbooks everywhere and non stop drawing new peoples and ideas.
I don't know how you managed to make a topic I'm not even the slightest bit interested in so fascinating, but I was absolutely hooked. your story telling is phenomenal!

In terms of Chanel, they had been after Karl for a really long time, they offered him the role several times, but he only went over to Chanel after they agreed to double his salary and give him all of his requirements (like starting the archive of work) for him to start. Obviously it was a good bet for the Wertheimers, but it was a risk at the time and it took a good few people to convince them to go with Karl, at least until Alain met with Karl in his apartment and really understood his brilliance

for the record, I‘m german and we‘re all sons and daughters of nazis. nowadays a lot of people talk like there was only a small group of really bad nazis suppressing the german civilization like they were the victims - while the real victims were the ones killed in the genozide and war. people have to accept the fact that in voting for hitler, supporting his party (for whatever reason) and doing nothing against him makes their parents and grandparents the bad guys too. denying this is straight up delusional and dangerous.

It's understandable... but we're all responsible for things happening in the world currently if not for actively participating then for passively letting it happen. Now not everyone has politically prominence nor dedicates themselves to humanitarian causes but that doesn't spare responsibility. Yes some people feel they're only responsible for themselves but I believe we're part of society as a whole. We benefit from it, it's not like we live in a vacuum. So, if we engage with society (which almost everyone does constantly) and we reap benefits some way or another then we're responsible for perpetuating the status quo and therefore doing a disservice to those who are oppressed and abused. I am not saying I am Amal Clooney. I put myself in there as well I just remind myself of my privileges and work on ways to make better choices that benefit as many as possible when possible.

Seems like the Germans have a very sincere apologetic attitude still today for that very reason (the people who stood by and let it happen), correct? If I remember they have very strict policies in place to prevent anything similar from ever happening again. Not disagreeing here, just adding what I’ve heard is the current/modern attitude. I’m not German this is just what I’ve picked up so I’m sure I could be wrong.

most information here taken from an early documentary called life and death of Karl Lagerfelfd came out 11 days ago by understitch here in you Tube.
You did an excellent, well researched presentation which could be used in any design classroom. The depth and bredth of his knowledge of fashion was unmatched. I hope his extensive library will remain complete and maybe opened to students of fashion and design.
The reality is, KL was not a great designer. He was not YSL, Givenchy, Dior, Balenciaga, Gres, Mainbocher. All of those amazing men and women were his contemporaries and he could not hold a candle to them. He designs were not spectacular or iconic. What Lagerfeld was, was prolific and he created this character that the public became fascinated with. Even younger designers like the late genius McQueen and the great Galliano made his designs look mediocre and ridiculous. Personally, I would rather the honor of an exhibit go to the late Dame Westwood. Her clothes were thought provoking and challenging. I think it’s also very important to mention and not minimize KL’s history of making racist comments, disparaging people because of their weight and his cruelty towards Andre Leon Talley for making an innocent suggestion that saw Talley being banished from the rarified world of fashion. Truly a despicable man who does not deserve this tribute.

I think the thing about Karl is that he took such a prestigious house and an iconic look and revamped it, it was something not many would’ve done, specially given the prestige Chanel had and still has today. I do think that there are much more deserving fashion icons that should’ve been the inspiration, such as Vivienne Westwood or even do another Gala inspired in the works of Alexander McQueen! But I guess that because he had such close ties with Anna, she decided to pay homage to her late friend Karl

Chanel itself is underwhelming and boring, all exciting parts aren't due to his designs but impeccable craftsmanship of the embroiderers, seamstresses, pleaters and accessory designers. Besides introducing logos and logomania, Chanel didn't do anything iconic for it's run. Can you recall a particular collection? I can draw Galliano, McQueen, Margiela, original YSl , Balmain, Madame Gres, Balenciaga from memory pretty accurately, as most fashion people. Name one iconic, unique design of Karl (no, not Chanel's boxy tweed suit( , a collection that influenced fashion in different way than introducing commercial logos. I'll wait.

This video is exceptional! Loved every second. So informative while still being fun to watch. Thank you♥️ regards from Germany
Thank you for this tutorial on the Lagerfeld history. I have never had this reference of theme BEFORE the Met Gala before. Can’t wait to watch coverage of this years Gala and your review soon after. I really enjoy your videos!
Why am I obsessed with the Fendi sister's names. Paola, Alda, Franca, Carla, Anna - what a cool set of names!!
This is one my favorite videos that’s you have made. I love the longfrom designer deep dives.
I love these kinds of longer videos. I can tell that a lot of time and research went into creating this because it was so informative. I also love that you included the more controversial points because it's so easy to ignore the negative aspects of someone that is incredibly talented!
What an incredibly informative & detail-rich piece of art you have created here. I highly appreciate the incredible work you put into detailing the history of Karl's professional & personal life; I've not seen anything like it. Your understanding of the fashion industry and appreciation for the nitty gritty of its history makes this a fascinating watch. Thank you so, so much for this, and for everything you do.
Even though your summary at the end was short, it was very powerful and intelligent. As someone who is on the chubby side, interested in the art and history of fashion but often repelled by the the industry and some of its prominent figures I am thankful for people like you, who are intelligent and sharp and at the same time gentle and kind- bravo!
Wow, Luke! That was amazing! So thorough, interesting, and concise. Loved all the images and footage you were able to put together. I learn so much from you; this video was very well done. Thank you!!
I love these historical travels through the lives and careers of designers. This a good reminder, that a talented designer will send their line down a runway with echoes of their personality and their history for good or bad. In the discussion of separating the art from the artist, I have not found an answer that applies to all cases. I guess we just need to keep having that discussion, especially when the art is present. Thank you to Luke for issuing this timely and well-prepared video.
So eloquent, so thoughtful, so researched. Thank you so much. This is a masterpiece
Your videos have always been extremely good but a steady increase of quality has been so cool to see
Wow! Great work on this history fashion lesson, detailed, effective and nuanced. It shows off your passion and dedication. Love it♥️
I love it when you do these deep dives! They provide insight on what I can hopefully expect in the Met Gala. Hope there will be 2 parts in the Met Gala review!
How UTTERLY fascinating. Hearing how connected Karl was to other cultural icons like Warhol is mind-boggling. I forget that culture today stems entirely from these early connections between artists and the after effect of their relationships. It's really insightful and inspirational to hear these cultural histories- makes me wonder if I'll ever cross over with future creative pioneers in the years to come! Such a lovely, well-researched video and presented in your usual effortless cadence! SLAY
Excellent explanation and very weell said! Complete information and all the research you've done! 👏👏 Very, very good!
In regards to his parents being Nazis, his father actively hated the Nazis and only joined after he was forced to to save his business. Meanwhile, his mother actually chose to join the Nazis very early on because they kind of told people that thye just wanted to run germany with a strong hand, which she believed in. However, shortly after Karl was born, Hitler began killing jewish people and she realised her mistake at joining the party. She kept her distain secret, then kept her gay and jewish friends covert and interest in books from both groups hidden so not to bring attention to themselves. But she didn't hide this from Karl, and he knew that the Nazis were bad even from a young age (source: Paradise Now, 2023)

I grew up in the 90’s and it was completely normal to tear someone else’s appearance apart, especially if they were in the public eye. I love how respectful you are about that. Anyway this was thoroughly enjoyable, thank you for all the hard work I’m sure you did to put this all together!
