Chanel Paris-Shanghai Pre-Fall 2010
Are you fucking kidding me with those hats? For a show oriented for the Chinese masses? Fuck you, Karl Lagerfeld. How do people like him get away with this shit ALL THE TIME?

humm i guess he thought he was being ironic in some way. What is it about him using the hats that you find offensive, if you don’t mind me asking?

December 6th, 2009 at 11:39 ambecause that hat is a symbol that’s been used for a long time to mock those of chinese descent, and sometimes on a broader scale, asian descent. it’s stereotypical and a lazy shorthand to represent chinese-ness, which is what he’s doing here for the paris-shanghai show. he’s never used this hat and he probably will not use these hats for his regular shows in paris or milan, but he chooses to use them in this setting.

the nice thing about being a hypocrite is being able to define everything away by using intellectually bankrupt and politically charged and motivated sociological “concepts” taken from the detritus of cultural Marxism and postmodernism.
