Karl Lagerfeld on how Chanel needs to be thought of post Coco Chanel; 1989

Karl Lagerfeld is interviewed around the time of the Chanel Ready to Wear show, as part of Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 1989-1990. Karl Lagerfeld was chief designer at Chanel at the time. He sits inside Coco Chanel's original studio in Paris. Karl comments that we don't know what Coco Chanel would have designed today, as a woman in her 40s or 50s (interview is in 1989), how what she did at the end of her life was one thing, but what she did earlier on as a younger woman was different, so you have to look at Chanel differently, depending on the period; 1989 (RSEA650F - AEVZ001J)
