Jeanne Baker asked the Chanel designer what he thinks about the way women look today and Lagerfeld’s response was actually quite positive. “The average woman looks 100 times better than 30 years ago,” Lagerfeld said. Part of the reason why he thinks the ladies have stepped it up over the past decades is because of how photo-heavy our society has become thanks to the advent of social media. “We live in a world of images, so [women] are more image-concerned than they were in the past,” he said. “In the past, there was a mirror but now, you have your cell phone, you have all that.”
Of course, no interview with Karl would be complete without a bit of cut-and-dry frankness. “We live in a world of images. You don’t want to put out the ugliest image ever.” Uncle Karl, never change.
