[it-boy's nature]

wow ........go karlB)

 

[sogangsta]

Karl's aesthetic is getting really dated. And it's especially apparent with that piano.

i played piano for so many years, been to numerous competitions, performances, recitals etc...
honestly, if they had that piano at anywhere, i think the people would be too busy laughing.
it looks like a toy. stick to clothing, karl

I didnt realize...That Piano is so 80s

 

[Ameera]

huh?

 

[notmanons]

i was thinking that..haha
change the color to neon green and magenta and i'm ready to disco!B)

 

[Dkammern]

i quite like it... dot really sure about those legs though

i think karl lagerfeld is becoming/has become some sort of a worldwide influence as Andy Warhol was in his time... he is an icon himself (physically) as andy was, and he designs clothes, pianos, champagne bottle-cases, produces videos, takes photos, does advertising, creates a CD music selection, owns ipods, and collects art pieces from furnitures to antique rings!
who could ever do that, being at least 80% succesful as he may be!

Well atleast I'm thankful that Louis Vuitton haven't decided to go ahead and make pianos. Oh God imagine a monogram piano.

 

[Ameera]

i beg you... don't put that image into my mind! gekh!!!

 

[Dkammern]

^^ i'm surprised gucci doesnt make "guccissima" leather pianos... it would be perfect for our Pointless Designer Accessories! and you could always buy the matching eraser, pencil and notebook... all of them gucci!!lol

I like how douty it is. It reminds me of painfully boring piano lessons from my early years.

Really? To me, his designs for Chanel <at least for the Sprin/Summer 07 RTW line> has gotten younger which appeals to me. A lot. or am i reading your post wrongly?

and I like the piano. Red and Black. Love that combination!!!

Not 'dated' as in 'old woman-ish' (though that is exactly what his couture and Monte-Carlo collections are), but rather 'dated' as in too 80's/90's.
