B-Boy Karl Works it in Harpers Bazaar
Karl Lagerfeld revealed to Harper's Bazaar "Believe it or not, I love rap." I believe it, Karl. With your dozens of loaded up iPODS and the badass attitude that scored you the gig in Grand Theft Auto IV, it's not that inconceivable.
The magazine's September issue features a spread on designers dressing as fantasy characters. Others include Giorgio Armani as Fred Astaire, Roberto Cavalli doing Rhett Butler, and Michael Kors channelling James Stewart's L.B. Jeffries character from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. It appears that Lagerfeld rocking the Phat Farm jeans as a rapper is the most interesting character by far, which is owed to his being such a great one himself. What would we do without him?
I wish the photo was bigger, or that I'd remembered to pick up a copy before leaving Canada, so I could closely inspect what is going on under his jacket - do I see his signature earlobe-grazing collar peeking out? Pure Karl.
I can't wait for the Jay-Z/Timbaland/Karl Lagerfeld collaboration.
