There’s no denying the world has its fair share of douches and after reading about fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld saying Adele is “a little too fat.” I’ve taken it upon myself to start a new series titled “Douche of the Day”. It comes as no surprise that the first douche would be none other then Karl Lagerfeld!
In an interview with Metro US, 78 year old fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld was asked about his favourite female singers. Among the singers he mentioned was Adele … who Lagerfeld says is a “little too fat”. Call me stupid, but I don’t know what the hell Adele’s weight has to do with her being a talented singer. However, Lagerfeld felt that it was necessary for him to throw in his outrageous commentary on Adele‘s size. Click below to read Karl Lagerfeld‘s comments in full.
In an interview with Metro US, fashion mogul Karl Lagerfeld, the outspoken creative director for Chanel, shared his brutally honest thoughts about pop singer Adele and her figure. “I prefer Adele and Florence Welch,” he told the newspaper. “But as a modern singer [Lana Del Rey] is not bad. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana Del Rey is not bad at all. 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.”
This is utterly disgusting and repulsive. If you ask me, it is this kinda stuff that is wrong with the fashion industry. The fact that a designer like Karl Lagerfeld could so easily attack a woman for her weight when he was merely asked who his favourite singers are, is proof that this man is completely out of touch. Just because you might be one of the world’s most successful fashion designers with money grabbing models hanging of your shoulders, does not give you the right to comment on other people’s weight, especially when the question asked had nothing to do with it. I’m completely repulsed that Lagerfeld first, felt it was necessary to comment on Adele‘s weight and second, that he thought he was being polite by following up his “fat”comment with his assertion that she has a “beautiful face and a divine voice”.
You make me sick, and people in glass houses shouldn’t go throwing stones.
Karl Lagerfeld, you are a DOUCHE!
much love Special K

You know what I am repulsed by? This modern "politically correct" world in which nothing can be called by its real name. Adele is a public figure and she IS fat. If she cannot deal with someone pointing the obvious out, I suggest that she loses some weight. And I have a strong sense that applies to you too, dear.
