Funny that this should pop up in my Ebuzzing account, just as I was beginning to wonder to what extreme degree all fashion designers are both egotistical and self-indulgent...! (Have been looking into this for another post, which I will hopefully publish next week...) Couldn't let this one slide...!
So here we have Karl Lagerfeld interviewing himself, (yes, himself) for Net-a-Porter. It's actually quite funny and entertaining, so is worth a watch if you have a spare ten minutes! It's funny, because if this were any other person doing this, then we would all be questioning both his sanity, and that of anyone involved in the production. Dissociative Identity Disorder is the obvious mental health issue that springs to mind (amongst others). But, oh no, it's KARL LAGERFELD, it's not 'split' personality- it's just HIS personality! Love it. In fairness, I am not sure if it was his brain-child or that of Net-a-Porter, but either way, I couldn't see this working so well as a debut with any other designer. They will apparently be doing this with a series of different designers though, so watch this space...
Here he talks about always being late, the opinion of himself, muses, being fashion driven and of course his new line Karl, for Net-a-porter in this new Face-to-Face campaign:
Personally, I really rate the collection- and it's not over priced. Anything that involves metallics, leather and blouses of any description is going to get my attention at the moment, no end. It's quality designs at high-street prices, what's not to like? Here are my picks:
Bao cotton-poplin shirt
£125
Blanca PVC-front cotton-poplin shirt
£175
Sachi pleated faux leather skirt
£135
Silver-sprayed mid-rise skinny jeans
£195
Batya wrap-effect metallic silk-blend crepe top
£145
Sina sequined pencil skirt
£225
Check out the website. You can even download the app to get 'Karlified' (your face with his hair, sunglasses and collar?!), and the man himself will pick the winner as to who best impersonates him!
What ego?
