In another piece of feather ruffling fashion news, Karl Lagerfeld recently told German Magazine Focus that fashion is about, “dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.” The charming Lagerfeld went on to say that those that decry skinny models are, “… fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television.”
Karl was clearly born in a time before political correctness and tact were in vogue.
He reminds me of those crotchety old men who unflinchingly say whatever’s on their mind, even if their thoughts are totally offensive.
Nothing about fashion surprises me anymore. It’s become a twisted comedy that excludes everyone but thin, European eccentrics…like Karl.
