King Karl..

[Lena]

ahh if only i could get hold of the latest issue of french monarchy obsessed magazine 'Point de Vue'
i'm sure it has people laughing their heart out reading the eight pages long article where Karl is 'drawing' plans of he way he could rule, if he was ..king.
thanks heavens that this will never happen

What would France be like if it were a monarchy ruled by Karl Lagerfeld? Expect a modern palace by architects Zaha Hadid or Tadao Ando, a crown of white hair only (no jewels necessary), chic new army uniforms by Hedi Slimane and zero tolerance for obesity. Those are among the tongue-in-cheek dictums the designer reveals in an eight-page feature in the issue of Point de Vue hitting newsstands today. Lagerfeld's longtime friend Colombe Pringle, the new editor in chief of the royalty-obsessed weekly, commissioned the piece for its 3,000th issue. The designer's illustrations depict himself pondering whether to include scissors in his coat-of-arms and explaining to a chubby fellow that his regime will be totalitarian — régime being the French word for diet. Not that Lagerfeld would be an inflexible ruler. In a play on Louis XIV's famous saying, "L'Etat c'est Moi" or "I am the State," Lagerfeld's said he's "more about a state of mind."

King of bad taste... He's showing his age, alas. Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando??? yuk! He is tres out of touch with the REAL art and architecture scene and the next movement. Time to get out of fashion aussi, mon vieux.

I'd ban the walking dead from wearing clothes designed for teenagers... la victime c'est toi, Karl.

Remember that you were an obese chum hiding behind a fan and obnoxious sunglasses, Karl...
