Karl On Boys And Skirts

[Lena]

i certainly need to see this

YOU’VE GOT MALE: After sending boys down the Chanel runway in tweed jackets earlier this month during Paris Fashion Week, Karl Lagerfeld has an encore planned. He’s booked a male model for Chanel’s fall advertising campaign, which he plans to lens this week at his studio in Biarritz. “But he won’t be wearing any chiffon dresses,” he hastened to add. “Girls can borrow from the boys, but boys cannot borrow everything from the girls.” To wit: Although Lagerfeld famously models a Yohji Yamamoto skirt in the current issue of V Man, he’ll take a pass on the look for real life, even if his Dior Homme buddy Hedi Slimane has endorsed skirts for men with long, densely pleated kilts. “I’m afraid they’re a little heavy, and I don’t think they would stay on my hips,” he quipped. Instead, Lagerfeld is sticking with jeans, including ones by his latest fashion discovery, DSquared. “They’re the only things from the shoot I wanted to keep,” he said.

he's 70 or so isn't he? B) i wonder if i'll have the energy to do what he does at that age..

 

[datura001]

He's lucky, so slim hipped, so rich and stylish! I love how he goes around rocking Chrome Hearts chains and rings and things, he looks like he's having such a good time. And those Dior skirts are just plain gross but long enough so you don't have to wear anything underneath them...I guess those could come in handy!

i find him a bit sad to be honest, all this age, money and culture and still he seems uptight , trying too hard to fight time and quite deprived

i dont think he's a happy man, he seems quite unbalanced for this age and status

i'm sorry but who goes from dior homme to dsquared...??

cute...but you are supposed to lie the other way darling...

i remember those proenza schouler boys first coming on the scene and all everyone talked about was how they had jus graduated from parson's....so i assumed they were unbelievably young and was very impressed...turns out their in their mid-late twenties...pr/marketing...


who wants to bet that this lagerfeld shoot is not going to be good?
any takers...

 

[Erzébeth]

hey, i thought proenza schouler were 19 when they got hyped up.. mid late twenties? porky pies! kind of tacky IMO.
