Why is Karl Lagerfeld, the Met Gala theme, controversial? | AP News

Karl Lagerfeld transformed Chanel from frumpy to modern. He revolutionized the merging of hip-hop culture and high fashion. He dressed and befriended delighted celebrities. He was also a self-proclaimed “big mouth.” The fashion icon who died in 2019 publicly sounded off as a fatphobic. He made contentious remarks about migrants. He spoke out against gay men adopting children. He declared himself “fed up” by the #MeToo movement. All without apology. And he left behind the receipts, in his own words. Come May 1, fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, will honor the man with the mouth.
