Rip Karl Lagerfeld

I wondered if he was ill when he was missing from the Chanel Haute Couture show last month.Poor Choupette.

Ten of Lagerfeld's most acerbic comments


On short, unattractive people: 'Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.'

On people who complain about thin models: 'They are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly.'

On former friend and Chanel muse, Inès de la Fressange: 'I wish her all the luck in the world, just so long as I don't have to see her anymore or hear her spoken about.'

On pop star, Seal: 'I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.'

On Heidi Klum: 'I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.'

On fur: 'It is farmers who are nice to the cows and the pigs and then kill them. It's even more hypocritical than hunters. At least the hunters don't flatter the animals....I don't like that people butcher animals, but I don't like them to butcher humans either, which is apparently very popular in the world.'

On the Queen: 'She looks a little bit like her grandmother - a more smiley version. "In terms of what she wears, she's come into herself a little bit more - whatever that is.'

On Michelle Obama: 'I don't understand the change of hair. I adore Madame Obama, I love her. But there is a news reader at LCI which has this haircut...Frankly, this doesn't suit her. The fringe was a bad idea, it's not good.'

On Adele: 'The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.'

On Lana del Rey: 'Is she a construct with all her implants?'

😈😈😈😁

RIP. I love that he didn't give any fucks.
