Shannon, isn’t this why are you covering such old news!??!? This is sorta very last month!

MAGGIE, I don’t know where you got your info but Karl clearly did NOT bash Heidi. Just do a google search.

Wow, that was a pretty nasty statement coming from a man who looks like he stuff a sock down his pants.

Evil Uncle Karl is developing a nice FUPA. He better start learning from his models and purge, purge, purge his next few meals. Of course, it could be the same problems that large snakes have — unhinge the jaw and take in a large meal, after which, there is a bulge for a bit, but the gastric juices and evil sauces thin it down after a few hours. Or, he just has gas. Don’t like him.

Wow I had not heard this but that is amazing. I understand that he is around models and the modeling world but that does not give him reason to bash anyone esp Klum, who is amazing looking. She is stunning and has 4 kids. To also bash Seal is awful esp because the scares he has are do to war. If he has personal issues with them he should keep them personal, with culture would.

As to having issue with large people that is rude. I am sure that is idea of heavy is very different then most, exp Hedi. I am also sure that many of his cliental are quite large.

All in all very tacky for a man that represents such an elegant company.

I think Coco is turning in her grave. Very shameful to make such comments.

Actually, that MYTH has been debunked. Those comments were falsely attributed to Karl Lagerfeld and actually are the words of another German fashion designer, Wolfgang Joop. This can be confirmedby looking at The Sun (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2231213.ece), New York Magazine (http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/02/is_heidi_klum_heavy_germany_se.html), The Local (http://www.thelocal.de/society/20090305-17823.html), and the original source of the comments, Bind.com (http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/celebrity-gossip/2009/02/12/heidi-klum-too-heavy/german-designer-wolfgang-joop-says-she-is-no-runway-supermodel.html)
He has however, said she is “too bling bling”- a totally inconsequential statement, not to mention that he “declared” bling “over” (http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/slaves-to-fashion/2009/01/more-in-modesty-news-karl-lage.html)- and that she is insignificant in the world of high fashion (http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/celebrity-gossip/2009/02/17/heidi-klum-attacked-by-karl-lagerfeld/fashion-designer-says-supermodel-is-too-bling-bling.html) which is true. Please don’t falsely attribute comments to the man. He’s already had enough trouble in the fact that his own line never took off like those of his contemporaries (Yves Saint Laurent for instance). Karl’s not my favorite person in the world for many of his comments on body image, but all in all, my point is, it was Joop who dissed Heidi.

I, too, dreamed of owning a classic Chanel handbag. His comments haven’t turned me off of the brand, but they did make me see him in a different light. He’s an a$$.

With that being said, I just think of CoCo when I dream of having my Chanel.

Wow. Not only is his paunch obvious in all of these pictures but has he checked who wears his bags lately… let’s not isolate an entire demographic. Chanel was never my favorite and this comment seals the deal.

Uh Karl’s comments are coming from a man who has tons of wrinkles on his face, a HUGE paunch, and pants so ill-fit that you can see the freaking shape of his crotch through his pants. And don’t even get me started on the wiry hair that is neither here nor there – not touseled enough to be carefree, yet not neat enough to be sleek.

Ya know what Karl? Before you call a supermodel fat, check your fat old ass in the mirror. Now go for some liposuction and some botox, and while you’re at it, update your dress size – obviously you’re still under the illusion that you’re still wearing the same pants size that you wore when you were 30. And oh yeah, do the hair – wiry hair with no sense of style direction is so not the look this season, or any season for that matter.

And a little fashion tip, Mr I’m-fat-but-it’s-ok-cause-I’m-a-guy-not-a-girl – horizontal stripes just make you look wider, and thus fatter. But don’t say its the shirt that’s making you look fat. Your paunch is casting a shadow over your shoes.
