Fashion isn’t just driving girls crazy, it’s also like driving a�racecar according to�Karl Lagerfeld. After a�runway show of�glacial proportions the�Creative Director of�Chanel told WWD:

“We live in�a�speedy world. We are here to�make the�products light and�modern. If speed is too much for�you, don’t complain. That’s our world. We are not in�the�old days with two couture collections a�year. At�Chanel, we have six ready-to-wear collections, in�fact: fall, pre-fall, matiers d’art, spring, pre-spring and�cruise, and�so the�merchandise in�the�stores changes every two months. We reduce the�time as�much as�we can. Creativity is not an�issue. If you are not capable of�doing it, you do another job. Doing fashion today is like being a�racecar driver. That’s how I�see it. So if the�world of�today doesn’t fit with your creativity, do your thing in�an�intimate, small way, but don’t play the�victim. We have to�fit in�to�our times.”

While there’s no racecar with Chanel emblems yet, there is a�segway, raft, snowboard, skis, and�a�bicycle. A�racecar does seem like a�natural progression for�Lagerfeld who continues to�impress the�fashion world.
