De beste quotes van 2012

Van Karl Lagerfeld over Kate Middleton tot Alexa Chung over het beeld van vrouwen in de media. Dit waren de beste quotes uit de modewereld van 2012.

Karl Lagerfeld

Omdat Karl wel vaak een opmerkelijke uitspraak doet, hebben we er enkele geselecteerd.

“Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.” M magazine, september 2012.

“I love hats, in a way, but when I was a child, I’d wear Tyrolean hats, and my mother – I was something like eight – said to me: ‘You shouldn’t wear hats. You look like an old dyke.’ Do you say such things to children? She was quite funny, no?” M magazine, september 2012.

“I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time. If you’re young and tight, maybe it’s OK, but…” M magazine, september 2012.

“Why should I stop working? If I do, I’ll die and it’ll all be finished. There’s something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.” Britse Vogue, oktober 2012.

Kate Moss

Kate Moss deed een opmerkelijke uitspraak over haar breuk met acteur Johnny Depp enkele jaren geleden.

“There’s nobody that’s ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said: ‘What do I do?’ – he’d tell me. And that’s what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. It was a nightmare – years and years of crying. Oh, the tears.” Vanity Fair, okober 2012.

Kristen Stewart

Het was een turbulent jaar voor Kristen Stewart. Na een affaire met Rupert Sanders en de breuk met Robert die erop volgde, werd het koppel opnieuw herenigd voor de première van de laatste Twilight film.

“I’m so in love with my boyfriend. I wish he were here now. I want to have his babies. God I love the way he smells. And him me. Like, he loves to lick under my armpits. I don’t get this obsession with washing the smell off. That smell of someone you love. Don’t you think that’s the whole point?” Vogue, oktober 2012.

Rihanna over haar liefdesleven “No one asks me out. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point.” Vogue, oktober 2012.

Stella McCartney De Britse ontwerpster mocht de outfits voor het Britse Olympische team ontwerpen en vond dat best een uitdaging.

“Doing the Olympic kit fittings for the men is quite out of my comfort zone. I’m like, ‘Oooh where do I look?'” Britse Vogue, februari 2012.

Alexa Chung over het beeld van vrouwen in de media “I think it’s about time people stopped judging women on their appearance and more on their intellect, like you can appreciate my style without having to appreciate my weight. It’s not actually mutually inclusive.” Fashionista, oktober 2012.

Diane von Furstenberg over hoe ze in het leven staat

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I just knew the sort of woman I wanted to be. I wanted to be independent, I wanted to have my own money and be able to stand on my own – not be the type of woman that waits for a man to call.” Vogue, april 2012

Riccardo Tisci over couture
“Couture is like a religion, really I’m very respectful of it and very very protective. When you go into the atelier and you see these ladies working day and night… I want them to feel valued too.” Vogue, oktober 2012.

Grace Coddington over modeshows

“I used to find attending the shows so invigorating and exciting, but [now] you have to be there with blinders on – to cut out all the rubbish that’s going on around, where the focus seems to be more on the audience than on the clothes that go down the runway. Any old shit can go down the runway and they all sit there and clap.” The Huffington Post, december 2012.

Raf Simons over zijn functie bij Dior

John Galliano is een heel sterke ontwerper maar heeft bij Dior een mentaliteit ontwikkeld die volgens mij indruist tegen die van Christian Dior zelf. Knack Weekend, september 2012. (RDM)
