Check out this lengthy interview with Karl Lagerfeld, the "Kaiser of style," from Prestige Hong Kong Magazine. The enigmatic man of mystery has always sort of scared me, like I'm not even cool enough to look at him. To me he's kind of like an alien, sent here to bring fashion genius to the world, and then one day disappear. Can anyone picture him with a walker? I can't. Only Germany could have produced his kind of eccentricity. He famously lost a ton of weight, reportedly to fit into a pair of Heidi Slimane trousers. I chuckle at the fact that "slim" is right in the name. He even wrote a diet book about it...can anyone please get me this book?
Highlight of the interview: "I hate children of all kinds." Oh, you little schnitzel of shock, how you entertain me. Some might say he was one sour Kraut! (Wikipedia tells me that Kraut is a pejorative term...see Karl, I can be choquant aussi!)
This reminded me of one of the funniest posts on gofugyourself, featuring a fictional dialog between M. Lagerfeld and Lindsey Lohan. It's best when you read the real interview, then the fictional one. See it here, laugh maniacally...Karl Lagerfeld style, hmm?
