Lagerfeld doesn't talk to journalists that stink
Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
His wildly eccentric personality and ultra confident belief in his own skills have launched Karl Lagerfeld -- fingerless gloves and all -- into rockstar status in the world of pop culture. He's appearing on t-shirts, videogames, etc. It's a good thing that he's not letting it all go to his head.
Nope, according to this article in fashionologie, Karl's still his same old humble and gracious self. You know, the guy who designs a $1,500 teddy bear. They were able to score an interview with the busy man, who of course made them wait forever, but they got a few interestingly candid quotes from the genius mind of Lagerfeld. Let's see what we can learn from a trip inside Karl's brain -- after the break.
- He might piss you off, but he's only doing it to get a laugh. For instance, he'll make rock star-esque requests:
"They sent a private jet. I said, 'It's too small. I need a bigger plane.' It's fun, no?"
- Maybe his secret lies in his fabulous shoes:
"I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels."
- If you ever do get a chance to meet Karl, don't skip out on the Listerine:
"I have no problem with journalists – many are friends. Only if they are really stupid, or if they've got bad breath, or if they smell. Yesterday [after the Chanel couture show] I had a problem. I said, 'I'm sorry, you've got to tell this woman that she needs to be taken away. Her smell is not possible.' "
