It was just two days ago that Karl Lagerfeld really stepped in it, offering his unwanted opinions on everything from Russian men (ugly!) to Lana del Rey’s plastic quotient (high!). But it was his comment on singer Adele’s body weight that really got people going—most especially our verbalist, Sarah Nicole Prickett.

Well it seems the Kaiser hasn’t yet learned his lesson: just yesterday he offered one of the most circular, confusing, nonsensical apologies we’ve ever heard.

They said/We said: The best tidbits from Karl’s Metro interview, including thoughts on M.I.A.’s middle finger and Michelle Obama

If you were ever in doubt if Karl Lagerfeld had a verbal filter, his musings in Metro should clear things up. Acting as guest EIC, the designer took to the global newspaper to give his two cents (more like an entire change purse!) on various topics.

Amid the array of outrageous comments, the most shocking is calling Adele “a little too fat.” Lagerfeld has been known to weigh in on body size and has said before that those who criticized models for looking anorexic were fat “chip-eating, jealous mummies”—ironic coming from someone who’s no stranger to being heavy, having lost nearly 100 pounds in 2001.

Adele however, was not the only singer in his latest musings—Lana Del Rey also gets a mention. As well as the Greek economic crisis and Florence Welch, the designer had things to say regarding:

Quotable: Well, at least Karl still likes Lana Del Rey

By Randi Bergman | February 7th, 2012 | 12:00 pm

Oh Kaaarl. The Chanel/Fendi/KARL/every-line-ever designer is making waves today for calling Adele “a little too fat” in his interview with the French edition of Metro, but we’ve uncovered another nugget! While the Adele remarks have been the crux of the news for today, he did make another comment—this time about our beloved bee-stung Lana Del Rey:

“Lana Del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She’s not alone with implants.”

View the stunning Chanel Athletics campaign images and go behind-the-scenes at the shoot in the paradisal Cap d’Antibes

Another day, another creation from the prolific genius that is Karl Lagerfeld. Earlier this week, it was Chanel couture, this month it’s the international KARL pop-ups for the collection released THIS SECOND, and today it’s the ad campaign he shot for the Spring 2012 Chanel Athletics collection. The truly exquisite shots feature Joan Smalls and Saskia de Brauw doing sporty things over the ocean in Le Cap d’Antibes in frothy, pleated, and poofed dresses. Dare we say, the behind-the-scenes shots are equally as spellbinding. Images of a team—which included the Kaiser and Carine Roitfeld, to name a few—whisking through the ocean, have us counting down to our own vacations.

They said/We said: Starlets to harlots! Karl Lagerfeld shoots the look book for a former escort’s lingerie collection

By Ilmie Dharmaratna | January 20th, 2012 | 5:00 pm

Comments

From starlets to harlots! Karl Lagerfeld’s latest project with alleged former French escort Zahia Dehar is likely to cause quite a stir. Lagerfeld has taken it upon himself to shoot a look book for the upcoming lingerie line of the scandal-ridden “designer.”

For those unfamiliar with Dehar, designing lingerie is not her only love—she also seems to have a thing for French football players. She was the source of much uproar in Europe back in 2010, when it was discovered that she was involved with three prominent footie players for the nonchalant rate of £2,000 per night. (Oh, and she was also underage at the time.) Sacrebleu! Read more »

Eileen Fisher

Karl Lagerfeld, as quoted by Coco Rocha on Twitter, has a strong opinion on holiday loungewear: “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.” Thankfully, Eileen Fisher comes to the rescue. The brand, known for simply chic and wearable apparel, has opened its first Canadian storefront in Vancouver (2721 Granville St., 604-733-5225, eileenfisher.com). Perfect for a cozy chalet getaway.

Your sneak peek at KARL, the kaiser’s new line in partnership with Net-A-Porter

By Laura Kathleen Maize | December 15th, 2011 | 1:00 pm

Talk about a perfect pairing. Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with Net-A-Porter for the launch of his recently announced new line, KARL. The online luxury retailer will be the only place to snag these styles in North America when the line becomes available on January 25 of next year. In the sneak-peek images, we’re seeing mostly traditional shapes with the iconic Lagerfeld edge—and we’re already dreaming of owning it all. With over 70 pieces in the collection, and the price point much lower than lots of his other wears—from Karl-cameo’d totes at $50 all the way up to leather biker jackets for around $1,000—you should probably save up that extra Christmas money, it’s not long now till it’s all available.
