The Fashion Shudder

[Blind Gossip] This well-known designer did not seem to be too pleased about who was getting all the attention at the CFDA Fashion Awards!

After a couple of drinks, they seemed to be more than a bit nostalgic for the good old days.

[They] were saying, “Remember when this was all about designers and models? I mean REAL designers and REAL models. You know who will be on the covers tomorrow? Reality stars and fat women. And the people who made this industry will have to smile and pretend to be fine with that!”

Then they let off an exaggerated little shudder.

  1. lol any designer maybe the olsen twins??
    reality star: lol do we even need to say?
    more obsessed with followers than talent

  6. I can imagine Michael Kors making that statement… he is talking about Kim Kardashian who won some ridiculous award at that event and probably talking about Kanye as a “designer.” In the past ten years the fashion industry has become more about celebrity and less about fashion and true models. Personally I’m a little sick of the nepotism and the children of reality characters becoming the face of a fashion label. If I see a Kardashian, a Hadid, a Beckham hawking a brand, I won’t buy it.

    • Ooh just realized Karl Lagerfeld makes ALOT of similar comments….could be him too.

  7. No idea who the designer is, but the fat reality star is definitely Kim K.

  9. Not sure, but I miss real models being on the mag covers. Now the models are not the gal next door discovered from the small town (US or otherwise) who made it big, but they are all kids of celebs. Put models back on the covers–and not a Hadid or Kardashian.

  12. Designer: Donatella Versace

    Reality Star They Dislike: Kim Kardashian

    I miss seeing more of the “real” models, the real beautiful and natural woman, not this celebrities / “models”.
    I really hope this celebrity trendy goes away soon. I cannot stand to see more news or photos about this reality shows celebrities, especially the Kard-something.

  13. designer: Karl Lagerfeld, he’s such a meanie
    reality show designer: Christian Siriano
    Who cares how CS was discovered, he’s uber talented and makes ALL women look gorgeous, not just slim or skeletal models
    optional: I’m glad fashion is including ALL women, maybe there will be less eating disorders! More healthy views of ourselves!

    • I totally agree with sim1fun.

      I’m not too thrilled about the reality tv models like the Jenners or Hadids but complaining about “fat women” being on covers is just plain stupid. It’s weird how the fashion industry relies so heavily on their female customer base yet hate them (and the ones that don’t confirm to their ridiculous beauty standards).

      Karl Lagerfeld has made a comment once about only “fat housewives complaining about the skinny models”. But he also loved Cara D so idk

  14. Designer: ?

    Reality Star They Dislike: Kim Kardashian

    [Optional] In the past ten years, the fashion industry has become more UNBELIEVABLE. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think it’s great for inclusion but that’s truly not what’s happening. The industry has become too ‘Hollywood’ and lost any respectability it ever had.

  15. Kelly Cutone

    Based on Kim’s “unfortunate” fashion choices, I’m assuming she is getting an honor for “what not to wear”.

  16. Kim K was getting attention

    fashion industry is getting taken over by nose job-and-fillers reality tv daughters who only get jobs because they have a lot of followers on social media. it’s a bad thing. girls are idolizing kendall’s lip fillers and bella hadid’s nose job.

  17. I don’t know why but I read that quote in Michael Kors voice.
    Kim Kardashian

  19. Karl Lagerfeld.
    Kim Kardashian.
    celebrity driven…and it’s a horrible thing.

  23. Designer: Marc Jacobs
    Reality star: Kim K.

    Fashion world has become more diverse. It is both good and bad. IG models shouldn’t be considered supermodels.

  24. Don’t know about the designer
    Obviously Kim (as a reality star) who has no taste but people are ready to jump outta their pants to kiss her butt, and tell her how marvelous she is.

    The fashion industry is getting even more fake.
