Karl Lagerfeld launched together with Italian shoe tycon Diego Della Valle – fashion land calls them the Dynamic Duo – their latest collaboration for Hogan. Next to that amazing fashion line (think futuristic outerwear with hand-finished details) Karl exposed a series of black and white portraits of 13 celebs like Lou Doillon, Elisa Sednaoui, Leigh Lezark and our number one favorite male model – and singer.. – Baptiste Giabiconi.
“I’m furious that it could happen. Because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy in that story. The thing is, we are a business world where, especially today, with the internet, one has to be more careful than ever, especially if you are a publicly known person. You cannot go in the street and be drunk – there are things you cannot do.”
Karl Lagerfeld is furious about John Galliano’s anti semetic remark to a Jewish woman and her friend in Paris.
We love Karl Lagerfeld! Especially after we’ve heard that Volkswagen tackled the fashion designer for a new commercial featuring also muse Baptiste Giabiconi. Sweet!
Karl Lagerfeld is one lucky man. Our second favorite designer (Marc Jacobs is still our number one) will be in New York on September 10 to receive an important fashion award.
The rumour-mill is ungoing. Is Karl Lagerfeld really leaving Chanel? Although he has reached the age of 76, we can’t imagine Chanel without the youthful and creative mind of Karl. His ‘supposed’ replacement, Alber Elbaz is a good designer, but no one beats Karl’s talents.
Fortunately a spokesperson from Chanel firmly denies the rumours, and released the following statement to Vogue:
We love dolls. Especially Barbie is our old time favorite. But we also like the Karl Lagerfeld Spongebob puppet and the fashionable Liberty dolls. New in the doll house: these haute fashion puppets called The Kouklitas.
