Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Karl Lagerfeld. This is the man who cranks out smart and simple styles for Chanel while telling models that live on Tic Tacs and cigarettes they are too fat. I have learned that if you are going to through judgment around, you better wake up in the morning and piss perfection. Apparently, the Crypt Keeper of little black dresses and tweed hasn’t seen a toothbrush since he rode dinosaurs to school.
In a guest post for the free paper the Metro, Karl Lagerfeld shared his taste in music. The Chanel designer loves himself some Adele (who doesn’t?), but he felt the need to qualify that statement in regard to her size.
According to Star magazine, Kristen Stewart is a “fashion pariah” because she has “grubby nails, ratty sneakers and a bad attitude.” Karl Lagerfeld is probably giving their report a slow clap.
Blake Lively has nabbed a campaign spot for Chanel’s handbags. She has been hanging around with Karl Lagerfeld and seen at every event involving the label. From the front row at the fashion house’s Paris fashion week show to the relaunch of the Soho store in NY, Blake has been on the arm of Grampy McRhinestone Cowboy. It has all paid off.

“The Gossip Girl beauty will star in a new ad campaign for Chanel. I’m told she was just in Paris shooting for the French fashion house’s handbag collection. The ads should launch early next year, the source says.”
I like the new direction with curvier models campaigning the brand. Thumbs up. It’s a leap forward from hungry teenagers looking like they’d stab someone for a cheese cube.

I make it no secret that I cannot stand Karl Lagerfeld but adore some of his creations. It’s a love hate relationship. Now I am seriously considering cutting the bitch should his comments be true.
According to reports, he went on a scathing rant attacking Heidi Klum and her family. Lagerfeld wasn’t shy in agreeing with the Germans regarding Heidi’s weight in February. Most attacked her for being “too heavy” after posing completely nude on the cover of German GQ. Karl was one of the voices accusing her of being fat.
He lashed out again and the jealousy didn’t stop at her weight. He claimed that no one in the fashion world know who she is. His rationalization is that his pal Claudia Schiffer doesn’t know who she is.
Per The Sun:
“I don’t know her. Claudia doesn’t know her. She was never in Paris, we don’t know her.”
Hmmm…that’s odd. He claims not to know her, but knows she is a model and married to Seal. Karl even went as low as to attack her husband’s skin.
“I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.”
That is beyond low. I doubt Klum is sweating his words. She has created a successful empire for herself and recently guest edited for German Vogue. Plus he really shouldn’t be the one to point the chubby finger. Their once was a pudgy Lagerfeld who was substation ally more tolerable. So I would be careful if I was him. Karl is quickly becoming the Star Jones of the fashion world.

Our Lady of Drunken Ruckus, Lily Allen, has been dubbed the new face of Chanel’s handbag campaign. Rumors that Allen has gone to work for Karl have been circulating for a few years. In November of 2006 she was said to be meeting with Lagerfeld for a 2007 campaign.
Lily has become a walking advertisement of the label, decked from head to toe in Chanel on several public appearances lately. She also sat in the front row at the Fall 2009 Runway Presentation. Karl Lagerfeld himself has finally confirmed that she is the new face of the handbag campaign code named Chanel Coco Cocoon and is due to start shooting next week.
Per WWD:
“Karl Lagerfeld has cast another surprising personality for his next Chanel handbag campaign: Lily Allen. “She’s fun,” enthused Lagerfeld, who plans to turn his lens on the British pop star next week.”
Meh…why not.

The pretensions and self serving Karl Lagerfeld has put together a short film centered around the woman who built a clothing empire. Coco Chanel has been captured in Lagerfeld’s silent film dedication thanks to model Edita Vilkeviciute. She plays Coco in her 1920’s era.
The entire movie lasts a quick 10 minutes. Flapper heavy and set in Paris begins in the year 1913, the film capture’s the young designer and her rise to fashion glory with her first designing endeavor…hats. Thanks to her partnership with her love, Boy Capell, she sets up her first hat shop.
As reported in WWD Nov. 17, Tallulah Ormsby-Gore plays a Chanel model who has to sell her real-life mother, Lady Amanda Harlech, a hat in the film. Even the workers in the Chanel atelier got to play parts as workers in the fashion house. “I cannot take extras,” Lagerfeld notes. “They don’t know how to touch the clothes.”
The second half of the film fast forwards to 1923. This features Coco, real name Gabrielle Chanel, in her prime. She is an established designer who has the art of seduction to match her touch with clothing.
I really cannot stand Karl Lagerfeld. However, this I would give a toe to see.
