In fact, many would suggest the creative director of Chanel and Fendi appears to court it, and ultimately revels in the outrage born of his comments.
In the past he has made derogatory comments about Stella McCartney’s career trajectory, derided Adele’s appearance, and suggested Kim Kardashian was to blame for the robbery which was carried out in her Paris apartment.

Lagerfeld insisted that the social movements born of the Weinstein scandal have done little to alter his approach to the fashion industry, before defending a peer against allegations of misconduct.
I read somewhere that now you must ask a model if she is comfortable with posing. It’s simply too much, from now on, as a designer, you can’t do anything. As for the accusations against the poor Karl Templar, I don’t believe a single word of it.

Lagerfeld’s interview has drawn considerable criticism, with members of the public taking to Twitter to condemn the German designer.
