The famed creative director of Chanel addressed reporters during the label's fashion show in Paris on Tuesday, and he did not mince his words on the reality star's life-threatening experience. "I don't understand why she was in a hotel with no security and think like this," the 83-year-old designer began. "If you are that famous and you put all your jewelry on the net, you go to hotels where nobody can come near to the room. You cannot display your wealth and then be surprised that some people want to share it with you." As a resident of Paris, Lagerfeld also commented on how the event may impact the area, particularly after the country suffered two of its deadliest terrorist attacks in November and July.
"Image-wise, I think it is very bad," he told reporters. "We make all the efforts to make Paris appealing."
Lagerfeld did write a message of support on a note photographed and shared on social media, to Kim Kardashian, reading, "Dearest Kim, We are all with you. Love, Karl." Lagerfeld has collaborated with the Kardashians and Jenners in the past, casting Kim's younger sister Kendall Jenner in several runway shows over the years. Most recently, he photographed Kim and Kanye West for the coveted September issue of Harper's Bazaar.
"Kim's contribution to beauty and fashion? is the fact that you don't have to be super slim and very tall to be beautiful," he told Page Six last year. "I like her mother [Kris Jenner] a lot and I adore her little half-sister Kendall."
