I didn't knew her and found it funny because I assumed she was an important person in fashion. It the joke was made with someone unrelated to fashion it would be worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 1 point 6 months ago Hugo Boss was a fashion icon and a literal nazi, but the joke wouldn't work with him either. It works because it's a bait and switch: when the girl asks "you know what Coco Chanel said...", you're expecting the famous "Before you leave the house, look at yourself in the mirror and take one thing off." permalink fedilink source parent
