It's always fun when Karl Lagerfeld opens his mouth, which he did quite a bit during a recent stint as guest editor of Metro. His most buzz-generating quote is about Adele: "The thing at the moment is Adele," he says. "She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice." More of his thoughts:
- On Lana Del Rey: "She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants."
- On Russians: "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."
- On MIA's middle finger: "Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly—it's not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women." (Note: We have no idea what that last sentence has to do with MIA, but it's just too good to omit...)
- On Michelle Obama: "I'm a big fan of Mrs. Obama—and her face, I think, is magical. [Barack] would not be there without her. Mrs. Obama is not a fashion statement, but she has other things to do. My favorite thing about Mrs. Obama was when she was asked if her skirt was not too tight and she answered 'Why, you don't like my big black ass?'" (This quote predictably caused the first lady's Director of Communications to issue a rebuttal noting, "Mrs. Obama never made that statement.")
