警告：关于性侵犯的讨论。
Earlier this week, the 2023Met Galawas revealed to be Karl Lagerfeld-themed — an announcement that's already garnered controversy.
If you're unfamiliar with Karl's work, he was the creative director of Chanel, Fendi, and his own label. The Met Gala will coincide with the Met's exhibition "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" — which will see大约150件paired with Lagerfeld's original sketches.
However, the designer has been the subject of criticism throughout his career. In particular, his anti-fat language surrounding women's bodies has beencalled“残酷” - 甚至explicitly saying"no one wants to see round women" when the magazine Brigitte announced that it would use "ordinary, realistic" women over models in 2009.
然后是拉格斐（Lagerfeld）的性侵犯历史。他sent flowersto accused rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn. He辩护的设计师卡尔·坦普勒（Karl Templer）after he was accused of sexual assault and said, "If you don't want your pants pulled about, don't become a model! Join a nunnery, there'll always be a place for you in the convent" and说他被“受够了”我也是动作。
他had Claudia Schifferappear在2008年的黑脸和黄脸。calledMuslims the "worst enemies" of Jewish people in 2017 while criticizing the acceptance of refugees in France. Indeed, much of this wasreexamined在他在2019年去世之后。
随后，在大都会大都会的宣布之后，许多人进入社交媒体批评主题。其中包括贾梅拉·贾米尔（Jameela Jamil）vocal criticof Lagerfeld for years:
@PopBase A line of racism, fat phobia and a hatred of the Me Too movement. Excited to see all the ladies celebrate this great lover of women!
“这个男人……的确很有才华，但以一种明显的可恶方式使用了他的平台，主要是朝着女性的，直到他生命的最后几年，都没有s悔，没有赎罪，没有道歉，没有道歉，对他攻击的团体没有帮助，”她继续在Instagram上。“没有解释他的残酷爆发。”
"Why is THIS who we celebrate when there are so many AMAZING designers out who aren't bigoted white men?" she added. "We didn't fight all this shit just to throw it all away because some white guy made some pretty clothes for people's skinny faves...come on now."
Jameela was far from the only one questioning the theme:
关于下一个Met Gala主题，重点是Karl Lagerfeld。尽管他为时尚界做出了贡献，但我们不应该庆祝一个在他的职业生涯中发表脂肪，种族主义和性别歧视的人。
Karl Lagerfeld defended the sexual assault of models and contributed to the stigma around coming forward years after an assault. He will be rewarded next year as the theme of “fashion’s biggest night,” because there is no consequence for defending sexual assault.
Oooh, people can show up on the red carpet and recite their favorite Karl Lagerfeld quotes about fat people, sexual assault, immigrants and the Holocaust. So many to choose from. Bravo, Anna Wintour. Great choice: https://t.co/gxb4Bs2sgr https://t.co/FJKCLYXYmv
