Quote of Note | Kennedy Fraser

“I once wrote the sentence, ‘Haute couture is a degenerative institution propped up by a sycophantic press,’ but now I understand much more deeply the preciousness of tradition. Later, when I was writing a profile on Karl Lagerfeld, I spent time at Chanel and met some of the women who worked in the atelier. What I saw was a very beautiful quality of humility. I watched the seamstresses after the show; it was one of those massive modern presentations with music and special effects.
