Karl Lagerfeld, the wildly off-beat, mildly likeable, endlessly stylish trustee of the Coco Chanel legacy, was in Texas recently wearing a Stetson cowboy hat and posing like a dude. Not the "hey dude, cool hat" kind of dude, but the "LA cowboy" kind of dude. Still. he played along, smiled at the camera and was a good sport about it all.
The thing I like about Lagerfeld is his jewelry. Everything he ever put on a catwalk is just fabulous and accessorized to perfection. I'm saying, his serious jewelry collections are sublime. Only Oscar de la Renta does it better. Beyond Lagerfeld's designer pieces is the iconic jewelry he wears himself, his cuffs, rings, tie sticks, and chains. Man in Black with jewelry.
He has a mouth and has set-off a lot of folks. The whole House of Windsor was miffed when he said that Pippa would do the world a favor if it never had to look at her ugly face. Yes he DID. He said that.
Short men don't much like Lagerfeld either. Not since that day he revealed to an oblivious world that short men aren't only ugly; they're ugly AND angry.
And there was that pieing by PETA that missed Lagerfeld and hit Calvin Kline (in a tiff over fur issues).
He's careful not to make enemies in Texas though. We sit the fence on PETA, but insult our women and our short, ugly, angry men and we do more than throw pies. Mister Lagerfeld behaves himself in Texas.
