CHANEL may have called time early on its Mobile Art project over concerns about the economic climate, but creative director Karl Lagerfeld whose one of my favorite fashion designer , isn't too affected by the impending calmness.
"I see it like a cleaning up - it was too rotten anyway - so it had to be cleaned up," the designer muses stoically. "I see it like a healthy thing - horrible but healthy, like some miracle treatment of the world."said Karl Lagerfel in one of his interview.
It certainly won't stop him from doing what he does best - creating beautiful designs that people aspire to own. Indeed, he adds, in a climate of such doom and gloom, that's more important than ever.
"People have different kinds of dreams. After all, people need a handbag, there are cheaper handbags. But if you can buy a beautiful one and if that's your dream to buy, why not? I can be interested in a $20 million diamond I will never buy, without desiring the diamond," he tells NEWS.BBC.CO.UK. "If you want only things you can afford, it's boring."
"It's great to see things you may not buy - because you don't have the money - but it is very ugly to think they shouldn't exist because you can not buy them."
