Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld

Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld Talk About Themselves - NYTimes.com: " . . . Mr. Jacobs admitted to the occasional doubt about his designs, or how long customers will be interested in the artist collaborations he does with Louis Vuitton. Despite any dark moments, however, his passion always seems to come back. “Even when I think that I’m jaded, or that this is just doing ‘this’ again,” he said, “then I get surprised and excited all over again.” Mr. Lagerfeld, by comparison, chooses to gloss over the past. He would never write a memoir because there are people who may have played an unpleasant role in his life, he said, “and I don’t want to give them the pleasure of ever mentioning their name.” But it takes a lot of effort these days to keep people engaged, which is why he has shown recent Chanel collections in far-out places like a castle in Edinburgh. Next time, he said, he wants to show in Dallas. “Today, everything is shown on the net and on TV,” Mr. Lagerfeld said. “When you have a show with only girls coming out of the door and walking across the runway, it is O.K. for the fashion freaks, but the public gets very bored, very quickly. They need some magic around it.” The take-away from this conference, perhaps, is that designers need to keep being titillating, at least for their sake if not ours. . . "
