(met gala takes start at 40:15)
karl lagerfeld (who is german). may day protests in berlin. my met gala best and worst (and the designers that won the night). against the equation of "fantasy" with thinness in the fashion industry. recession-core. cats. it’s a fun one.
digressions take the form of a few questions: did cruella influence the met gala red carpet fashion just as much (if not more) than karl did? is it cooler to go edgy-goth or normcore to a party at berlin fashion school? did emma chamberlain serve or flop? is “quiet luxury” an excuse to be boring?
