Unkle Karl Slams Galliano

Filed Under: Karl Lagerfeld LVMH John Galliano

There's at least one person in the fashion industry who won't be supporting John Galliano, and that's Karl Lagerfeld.

The designer said in a statement:

"I’m furious, if you want to know. I’m furious that it could happen, because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy in that story. The thing is, we are a business world where, especially today, with the Internet, one has to be more careful than ever, especially if you are a publicly known person. You cannot go in the street and be drunk — there are things you cannot do… I’m furious with him because of the harm he did to LVMH and [chairman and ceo] Bernard Arnault, who is a friend, and who supported him more than he supported any other designer in his group, because Dior is his favorite label. It’s as if he had his child hurt."

You know Unkle Karl does have a good point.

With all the technology that's out there, celebs should be more cautious with what they do and say because as soon as it leaves their lips it can be on the internet.

Are U listening Patricia Field and Franca Sozzani???
