Karl Lagerfeld had a little too much to say about British songstress Adele over the weekend.
When asked by Metro Paris about what he thought of singer Lana del Rey, the 78-year-old creative director and lead designer for Chanel also mentioned Adele.
‘The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice,’ Lagerfeld told Metro. As for what he said about Del Rey, who is significantly thinner than Adele: ‘Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful.’
(Lagerfeld’s outspoken comments regarding beauty didn’t stop there. He went on to say: ‘If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.’
Perhaps Lagerfeld’s constant exposure to rail-thin fashion models has skewed his sense of a ‘normal’ female body size.
