Karl V.S. Heidi
To be honest, I don't really like Heidi Klum. I think she gets way too much credit for a career that she never had, while Tyra - who did have a career working for top designers, gets absolutely no credit. However, I really cannot stand Karl Lagerfeld's views on almost everything. Really. For a 75 year old professional man, who has had one of the most prestigious roles in the business for decades and decades - he sure sounds like an ignorant stereotype.
After going on about how Heidi Klum is simply too fat, he begins to say; "She always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde - that is commercial."
Wow. I'm embarrassed. Honestly, that sounds like something someone would say if they were imitating Karl Lagerfeld - like, an outsider's view on what fashion is all about from watching "Zoolander" a few too many times. Smiling 'is commercial' - really? Very sophisticated, and unique view on fashion, Karl. Heidi Klum is fat - really? I always thought she was just a 36 year old woman, I guess I was wrong. She should really have the body of a 12 year old if she ever wants to be considered a model.
God. I wish Yves Saint Laurent was still alive.
After that, he went on about Heidi's husband Seal. "I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters." Yeah, maybe that's because he suffers from Discoid Lupus Erythematosus which caused his cheeks to scar, and significant scalp involvement causing hair loss when Seal was just a young teenager.
Karl, I don't know you. I've tried hard to like you, but everything you say is just so offensive. You could attach your name to any European label, live in the most expensive home in the world, have Anna Wintour worship you for all I care, but at the end of the day, I wonder if you really are as great as your success.

Karl, as respected as he is, actually has a lot of enemies in the fashion industry
Azzedine Alaia, my best friend (and I say that like I know him lol), cannot stand to stay in the same room as uncle Karl.
Boo you, Karl.
I think it is not just Karl's fault, I mean I saw what he said on German TV and he just said that Heidi never existed in France because she neither walked for his shows nor for anyone's else, and that is true.
A few days later Seal called him ! a sad old man that nobody knows"
It's just odd to me. Some might say Coco Chanel was the epitome of grace. Yet, Karl's behavior is just so ridiculous. I don't understand how you could say those things regardless. I mean, calling someone fat and saying they smile stupidly, and then insulting someone's syndrome affects, sounds like something a child would do. Not a 75 year old man.
