“I prefer Adele and Florence Welch to Lana Del Rey, but as a modern singer she is not bad. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. 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.”
-Karl Lagerfeld, formerly a ‘little too fat’ too, reveals to Vogue.
Karl squared.
Here are our favorite quotes from the video:
“You know if you ask me how to be chic there’s little hope to become chic.”
“There are peasants who are beyond chic in poor rags & very rich women who are not chic in the most expensive dress.”
“I never talk about the good old days but I’m not sure they were that good…just old.”
“You know if you ask me how to be chic there’s little hope to become chic.”
Enjoy…

“I think they should make a tax so that when you earn a certain amount of money, you have to spend a certain amount on shopping. To buy whatever … And that way, we create tons of jobs. I think it’s a good idea. What I hate is people with a lot of money who don’t spend it.”

So K-Lag interviewed Carine Roitfeld for Interview Magazine and jeeze this guy sure knows how to ask some hard-hitting questions. Ok, well, actually, Karl Lagerfeld is magical because how often are the questions more interesting than the answers given by the actual person being interviewed?
Here are some snippets:
LAGERFELD: What I think is particularly accomplished with you is that you always have a vision of fashion and a fashionable woman, but you also have a very successful life as a family woman. You have beautiful, intelligent children and they give you stability and credibility in the eyes of others.
ROITFELD: It’s because I’m a Virgo. Either you are a good Virgo or a crazy Virgo! The good Virgo side of me is educating and raising the children—being there for them.
LAGERFELD: Yes, no one can say that you don’t take care of them. You’re also lucky because they are very beautiful. It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.

LAGERFELD: Do you surf the internet?
ROITFELD: No.
LAGERFELD: Me neither. Never. Besides, I don’t even want to have things associated with my name on the internet—it’s very dangerous.
ROITFELD: Is there a fake Karl Lagerfeld Twitter account?
LAGERFELD: Yes.
ROITFELD: There’s one for me, too. Everything is fake. [Deep!]
LAGERFELD: I am not a fake . . . I hope. [Deeeeeeper!]
ROITFELD: I don’t have a Facebook account.
LAGERFELD: I know enough people. We’re happy with the people we know, right? That’s enough for us.
Omg, don’t you wish you were a fly in the room for this sh*t? How hilarious! Please do yourself a favor and read the whole interview here.
