Uh, that’s exactly what he did. Chanel announced yesterday that Virginie Viard, his “right and left hand” for the past 30 years, will be taking over as CD.

Yet, here you are, 30 comments deep into a conversation about this tiresome shit that nobody should care about. Good for you.

Nah. He’s doing great things at Margiela. Much more his wheelhouse.

Question answered: Virginie Viard, Lagerfeld’s “right and left hand” for the past 30 years will take over as CD at Chanel—that was her you saw taking a bow at last month’s couture show:

Training in technique and process is possible for almost anyone—again, Raf Simons is proof of that. I really want to see a modernist in the role. I don’t think Alber is that. And I would extra love it if a woman stepped into the role.

To my knowledge, Karl didn’t sew and construct. Classic houses can’t keep hiring old people just to keep tradition alive. If you have a great creative mind, the artisans in the atelier can fill in all the rest. But you’re not trying to imply that Phoebe Philo is some newbie millennial, are you?

I love Alber. But I think he would be a very expected choice for Chanel, which is probably not the right way to take the brand into the future, IMO.

I think that the Premieres and Petites Mains at the Chanel atelier are skillful enough to help any new CD that comes on. Look at Raf Simons at Dior. Those women (and a few men) are actually the ones bringing everything to life to the couture standard—they are the ones making the magic happen. If the right person is in

Lagerfeld was the typical “creative genius” who was also an insufferable asshole. That said, the man made some beautiful fashion for an insane amount of time. He single-handedly brought Chanel back to relevancy, and knew that irreverence would be key to making the house last. His knack for branding was unsurpassed.

If she was the only celeb to ever wave off the band or talk through the time limit, I would agree. But she is far from alone in this behavior. Lots of celebs talk past their time limitthe bigger the star, the more likely the producers are to call off the band.

Nope. Lady Gaga stepped up and she she would not perform unless all 5 nominees performed. So they reversed that terrible decision, too.

That’s not Roberts saying she’s more important than anyone else—she was demanding more time, and they gave it to her (squeaky wheel, and all that). I don’t begrudge her wanting to thank the people she wanted to thank—it’s not like she’ll be up there again. Most important: she didn’t take her time at the expense of

NEVER CUT THE ORIGINAL SONG PERFORMANCES! That is one of my fave parts. Cut the stupid skits—no one needs to see celebs take a selfie, or get pizza delivered to them in an auditorium.

I love watching the Oscars. Back in the day, they used to have segments in which they would showcase the costumes and hair and makeup created for the films live on stage. I was riveted by the craftsmanship. These days, I really enjoy seeing the lesser-known people who make these beautiful films a reality have their

Exactly, the R. Kelly comparisons are really, really off base.

I don’t think he looks at what happened with Holcomb as abusive—not in the same ways the women in his treatment center experienced. He views what happened with Holcomb as a relationship, and he is trying to help girls who have experienced incest, physical and emotional abuse, rape, assault, etc. So the centers are not

I am with you. But Tyler describes it similarly in his recounting in his memoir, stating that there was a needle to the belly, then he saw the fetus come out dead (the idea that it was alive and then died is absurd, of course).

I prefer jail for monsters like this, with the emphasis on a “hard time” approach: rotting slowly away, hope slipping away day by day in a prolonged state of mental and physical agony.

Yeah. I saw that and was like, ooh, Emma Roberts is gonna be PISSED!

So you think Kushner’s formatting on an early rough draft needs to be final? It’s an early draft, he’s roughing it out in a way that makes sense for him to make the script come together. I don’t know why everyone is going so nuts over an element of his creative process. It’s not like he’s some hack with a history of
