Designer Says: “No One Wants To Look At Fat Women”

By Jeanene James October 15, 2009 10:00 am

picture-62

Famed Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld has gone on the record about his distaste for plus-sized (plus-sized meaning anything larger than size 0) models and women. In response to recent criticisms of the fashion industry’s skinny-standard, Lagerfeld has used “Focus Magazine” as an outlet to voice his defense of the industry’s discriminatory practices.  He states,

“Fat mummies sit there in front of the television with their chip packets and say skinny models are ugly.”

He goes on to insist that no one wants to look at “fat” women on the runway.  His comments have caused quite an uproar of disapproval.  In particular, Refinery29.com made a list of some of their “favorite bodacious, curvaceous ladies,” to show support for the women who are not 80 pounds soaking wet.

We believe that beauty has no standard size, and appreciate women of all makes and models.  And as much as we appreciate Lagerfeld’s creative genius, he should probably stick to discussing all things haute couture, because his comments are just a haute mess! Plus, we remember when you were part of the plus-sized family Karl; The hypocrisy!

In honor of Refinery 29’s tribute, here are a few of Hello Beautiful’s favorite women with curves:

    A haute mess! LOL! Now THAT’S the funniest, most clever thing I’ve read over here all morning. Big ups on that one. :)

    Let me put it right out there: I AM A FAT WOMAN, having said that… I have had so much body hatred directed towards me in my life, that if I could get paid for every lousy, s**tty, despicable thing said or done to me because of my weight, I’d literally be MORE than worth my weight in gold.

    It has forced me to develop a thick skin, a cynical outlook and a take-it-with-a-grain-of-salt attitude in regards to what other people have to say about me, because NIGGAS IS ALWAYS RUNNING GAME UP IN THIS B***H! Games like “Tell them they’re UGLY so they’ll buy your BEAUTY PRODUCTS” and “Tell them that nappy hair is UGLY so they’ll buy your HAIR STRAIGHTENERS” or “Keep telling them they’re SICK so they’ll buy your MEDICINE. Yada yada yada… Been there, done that, FOOL. How many times you gonna pull that one on me? Life has taught me this, along with a few other nasty little things It has also made me more aware of other people’s faults that I should be, because I’ve often used that knowledge to “defend myself” in the past by attacking the weaknesses of others. But I’ve realized something along the way and I’ll gladly share it with those of you who are still struggling with this, that only makes sense if you perceive your body size as a FAULT or a WEAKNESS. If you just accept the fact that some of us are THIN and some of us are FAT and leave it at that, life begins to take on a much more positive tone and you don’t feel the need to be so defensive about your weight anymore, because you realize that YOU AREN’T THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. You’re (more-or-less) content with yourself and the person who you are. It’s OTHERS that are not content with themselves or you or they’d just LEAVE YOU THE F**K ALONE.

    When you reach that place of wisdom and beauty inside yourself, you just look at pasty-faced, astro-turf wig-wearing old Tales-From-The-Fashion-Crypt looking mofos like Karl Lagerfeld and laugh HA HA HA, because you KNOW that just underneath that fake ass picture of success and wealth lies the REAL Dorian-Gray-like picture of a man who JUST CAN’T DEAL WITH THE S**T THAT’S REAL like people being FAT and getting OLD and losing your HAIR or your ERECTION. Some of us are FAT and some of us are thin, Karlito. DEAL WITH IT, BIATCH! If it don’t kill ya, it’ll only make ya stronger! ;D

    HOLLA at Rihanna, y’all, cause she look GOOD. F**k you, Chris Brown.

    “Fat mummies sit there in front of the television with their chip packets and say skinny models are ugly.” I find it so damn funny that he chose those first two words. i remember when he was fat, and now he looks like a mummy. He could use a “chip packet”. as for MsAdament, please don’t beat yourself up about what you see in the mirror. Be beautiful sexy and confident NOW, until you can get to where you want to be. I am willing to bet that you are hot brown sugar!!!

    Karl Lagerfeld is not even talking about fat people. He’s referring those that are about 99 lbs or who are GASP have a double digit clothing size. Never mind that he used to be the fat girl.

    as a “fat girl” I think that was ignorant but I don’t care. what one man hates, another appreciates. And don’t worry ugly man, not even the ugliest fattest chick would give your @$$ a shot

    I am 253lbs of as Mo’Nique said it in Phat Girls Sexy Succulent, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld it is people like you who makes little girls and grown women become Bulimic and Anorexic,because skinny is all anyone sees in the mags and tv. I pray that people would not judge them for what they look like,but unfortunately they do so I am just going to say I am just so glad God do not judge us on looks he judges the heart, and not every thick or fat however you want to call it does not sit around and eat some people may just like the way they look. And that is the way it should be.
