This is a fantastic picture any which way you look at it…In this image by the amazingly talented & handsome Olivier Zahm we can see Baptiste Giabiconi (woof), Eric Pfrunder and Karl Lagerfeld.

No they are not getting ready for a good old fashion splashing in the pool (although, picturing that will keep a smile on my face all day. “Karl, quit hogging the dolphin.”), they’re about to do a shoot for Purple Magazine and they are holding ready-made Jeff Koons art.

Karl does not travel with Louis Vuitton trunks. He’s into Goyard.

And he’s a frigobox-toerist! Who would have guessed?  What do you think’s in there? Chilled diet Coke? Anna?

The next four or five months are going to be incredibly busy work-wise. So thank you for allowing me to vicariously living through you, Monsieur Zahm. I can’t wait for the new issue of Purple Magazine.

Hey, according to my friends at SUPERSUPER the future is brown.

And I’m kind of wishing they’d invent a sort of brownish day-glo shade to dip their next cover in.

If anyone can do it, they can!

At KNOTORYUS we are avid magazine-collectors.

We used to buy & read everything. And when we say everything. We mean everything.

We trimmed it down a bit. Only getting what’s worth collecting.

( we ain’t too proud to read the goss while waiting in line at the supermarket)

And we ain’t giving up on the SuperS!

How beautiful is this girl? How bad do I want that hairdo?

I’m watching the big From G’s To Gents Finale tonight.

Blue or Mito (I love pronouncing his name – Miii-t-000W)

Pssj-i-ont-know.

Bentley will work it out.

That was him in Giant Magazine.

ID – DIY!

You know who we put in the ELLE DIY issue of 2007?

SUPERSUPER cutie Thomas Sels!

He’s come a long way since then though. Being fashion editor and all.

Concocting his own line.

Magic that is.

Supermodels got boyfriends.

I think Karl wouldn’t mind being called the ultimate coverfucker.

I’ve had a couple of dreams about taking the family back to Tokyo.

The new Honeyee only makes it worse.

Tokyo-Moskow-Miami. 2nd half of the year. That’d be good.

Suggestions? Let us know!

… And I’m not paying full price!

This one’s for la petite Candy.

And for you too of course.

I know you’ve seen this. But as of today you can actually buy it…

I can’t afford it , but I do think it’s handsomeness…

It’s kinda like a Fabergé Egg.

Or a Ming Vase.

Just way more steiffer.

Colette e-shop!

Karl is still so very much the shit.

Starting this week, he’ll be plastered all over France, advising everyone to wear yellow jackets to stay safe on the road.

English translation after the jump.

“It’s yellow. It’s fugly. It doesn’t match with anything else. But it could save your life one day.”

It’s what y’all been waiting for, ain’t it?

Two Lagerfeld posts in one day? As the French would say: “Vy not?”

Excerpts from Karl’s interview with Hong Kong magazine ‘Prestige’.

Food.
I hate the smell of cooking. Some people love it, but I don’t care for it. I don’t eat sweet things. I don’t eat greasy things. And I like fish better than meat. In fact, I hate meat. My doctor calls me to eat meat twice a week, as apparently we are cannibals. There used to be a Nobu here in Paris but it was very bad; it was horrible. The one one in London is great. It’s my favorite restaurant in London.

Fat people.
Yes, new Russian girls are like this. But this is a subject I won’t discuss. You know why? In France there are a large percentage of young girls who are overweight and less than one percent are skinny. So let’s talk about the 25 percent who have a weight problem, or are overweight. We don’t need to discuss the less than one percent. Anorexia is nothing to do with fashion. These Russian girls are so young. Chinese ones are skinny, too, and bony. I don’t think it’s a subject to discuss. And in today’s world, many people take drugs, not only models, hmm? It’s an unnecessary subject. Let’s talk about the fat ones.

Children.
Do you ever wish you had a son to pass on your wisdom to, to continue the Chanel heritage?
That’s the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it’s fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.

Going to other places that involve people.
I live in certain isolation. I never take appointments in the morning. I leave my house only after lunch. I don’t want to have a social life. I’ve had enough of that in my life. It’s demode. It’s another era. Perhaps people are still excited by that era, but not me. It’s uninteresting today. It says nothing. It’s boring, pretentious and vulgar…Even for charity, people get paid. I try to avoid charity. It doesn’t happen for me. I’m rich enough not to have to do that. Thank God I don’t have to do that. I do a lot of unnecessary things for free, but I’m very much against that. Money itself isn’t interesting, the use of it is.

Going to other places, period.
Sometimes, to be inspired by things or places, it’s better not to go there. You have to imagine. I imagine the world from my window. I am not a traveler. I hate it. I never look at my watch. The good thing about private jets is that you go whenever you’re ready. That’s the real luxury of today. In all my contracts it says, if you want me, send a private jet.

People who try to touch him.
Also I cannot go on airlines because people stare at me, you have to be touched by people. I hate that…I hate bespoke because I hate to be touched by strangers. It bores me to death.

People who try to analyze him.
Diane von Furstenberg told me she thinks you may not be the best designer aesthetically, but that you’re by far the smartest.
And look at her prints, hmm? Maybe I’ve known her for too many years. Maybe she’s right, I don’t know. If she were an expert, perhaps her designs may be more impressive…I’m not a frustrated writer or architect, I’m frustrated by nothing at all, and frustration is the mother of all crimes. Ambition? I have no ambition. I just want things in a certain way…I don’t want to be a teacher. I don’t want to inform others through myself. In that way, it’s all for myself. I’m the most selfish person in the world. Being selfish, I take care of others. My mother always used to say, “Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.

The nineties.
I think that Claudia Schiffer is better than ever. There are few very, very, very great girls. But it’s not like in the ’90s, the days of Linda Evangelista. That’s demode now, that’s another era. Very tacky, hmmm? On the one hand there was something intellectual going on during that time. On the other, it was just tacky. But you know, decades have a look, a mood, but that was that. We know what the ’90s looked like now, but during the ’90s we thought it was great perhaps…I put on weight in the early ’90s because clothes were so large, then they got tighter, so I slimmed down. Never go one size ahead. Go down but not up.

Technology, the internet, etc.
I’m a computer by myself. I have a memory also for unnecessary things. Telephone numbers are a problem, but historical details are not.

Love.
Love is a subject I don’t analyze publicly. Love is only an interesting subject when it’s beyond. When it’s down to earth it ceases to become interesting. It’s a very dangerous subject. I’ve had so many tragedies in life, it’s hard to discuss the subject.

Karl Lagerfeld is so very much the shit. (more info after the jump)..

“Players can pick from multiple radio stations for the soundtrack, ranging from licensed songs to new ones. Lagerfeld picked his favorite electronica and dance music and peppered the selection with some of his rapid-fire commentary.
“They had written a politically incorrect dialogue,” the designer said. “I loved it, [particularly] in a time when everybody wants to be so politically correct when they talk.”
He didn’t have to dig too deep to find his music selection. “Music is part of the life of fashion, too,” he said. “Through the famous sound stylist Michel Gaubert, I’m very much ‘au courant’ and know what’s going on.”
