Papa Lagerfield Karl Lagerfeld inspired so many trends throughout his career. My favorite and the most prominent collaboration was when he became director of Coco Chanel and re-branded the iconic double C logo. I remember that double c logo becoming the essence of high fashion couture near the turn of the 21st century. I’m an elder millennial as Liza Schlesinger would say. Being a kid in the 80s and 90s for me were all about daydreaming of the day you’d grow up to be a powerhouse wonder woman doing astounding things, taking everyone’s breath away, because that shiny black classic Chanel flap bag, with the double C turn lock, gave you that exact boost of confidence you needed for the day. That’s the feeling Karl transpired when he joined Chanel and reminded the world what a special fashion piece could do for your self-esteem. Although, Being one of my favorite designers of my generation, for his brilliant work, he was also known to spark controversies and feminine uproars with his many offensive public comments about some women in our pop culture. Like when he addressed Adele’s weight, or Pipers looks, to name a few. But, People still respected him, they slapped him on the wrist for those comments and continued with their day.  Why do you think he got away with making such cruel remarks? Because if we did hammer him with protests and boycotts, it would be like condemning grandma for saying something outdated. Yeaup! you heard me I’m calling this ageism. I mean we all know we shouldn’t body shame, but who’s going to hold nana’s head to the fire when she judges your best friend for being 40 and still unmarried. Most would call Lagerfield the pope of fashion; for all his year’s of fashion accuracy, being a trailblazer for couture and the latest trends, plus, let’s not dismiss what it also takes to be the pope; YEARS of experience hence the age haha, I believe he has all the fashion right to critique in whatever way he pleases. Sidebar, I entirely, do not agree with any of his snarky remarks, and I am still brainstorming on how I feel about ageism in 2019. Nonetheless, he will forever be Fashions Pope. It was a pleasure having you Papa Lagerfield. Thank you.
