KARL LAGERFELD GOES DUBAI

Krazy Karl is back. He is becoming a regular guest on these pages. Well, so be it then. The old man is not giving up. Hell bent on keeping his name in the headlines - and this fine blog – he’s signed up to design 80 homes in Dubai’s famous artificial The World archipelago.



The rich oil country has decided to build Isla Moda, a fashion island where Karl and four other designers have been invited to contribute houses. “Dubai is a fashion bud on the verge of blossoming into the next fashion hub of the world”, Kaiser Karl said of the project.

Developers Dubai Infinity Holdings said: “The island will incorporate unparalleled architecture, lifestyle services, brand partnerships and design”.

Now I know where I’m going on holiday next year!

KARL LAGERFELD IS WEARING WHAT?

Years ago, there was much talk about how Karl Lagerfeld lost weight to fit into a Dior Homme suit. That was of course a while ago, when Hedi Slimane was still in charge. Who would loose anything, but their common sense, to fit into a Kris von Arse suit these days?

But back to Kaiser Karl. He never seizes to surprise, does he? This is the man himself in an ad, which appears to be for road safety. Now he has lost weight to don a top worn by construction site workers. Saying that, it looks pretty good on him.



But obviously it works the other way around. If I was driving along and saw him on the side of the road, wearing his sunglasses, several kilos of Chrome Heart jewellery and a fluorescent waistcoat, I’d definitively crash! And look at his car in the background – is Karl Lagerfeld driving a Skoda?

So much for fashionable road safety.
