An appreciation of Karl Lagerfeld (look, thin)

[Cida]

I notice that most essays are skipping over his most controversial elements. Still, it's an interesting life. Look at the photograph of his desk!


Karl Lagerfeld
He created up to 17 collections a year for 54 years, but his greatest invention may have been himself.
Lagerfeld’s greatest invention may have been himself. He was ostentatious without being silly. He dieted madly, but allowed himself 10 to 20 Coca-Colas a day. He seemed genderless before such a thing existed, and yet not at all P.C. (“The problem with political correctness is that it rapidly becomes very boring,” he said.) Though he was a voracious reader, he liked to appear superficial.

10 to 20 cokes per day! That's wild. I'm amazed he lived to be 85.

But what's the point of being rich and famous if you can't be self-indulgent in a few areas?

And I just ran across this, too.

The Lagerfeld Economy
He may have been a monster boss, but the late Chanel designer was a one-man stimulus package for a handful of Paris shops.
“I have no human feelings,” he once claimed.
