If style 's like large school, Karl Lagerfeld's the creepy vice-principal: terrifying, inaccessible, all over the place.
This month, Karl the Kaiser will be in New York to shoot the Chanel Spring 2013 campaign and stink up the metropolis with his noxious odor, a delicate mix of style genius and moral vacuity, with some Diet plan Coke undernotes. Ugh, keep that sh*t in Paris.
The designer's longtime muse, Stella Tennant, will star in the marketing campaign alongside newcomer Ondria Hardin. Hardin is significantly less a newcomer to the modeling entire world (she appeared in Prada's Fall 2011 print marketing campaign, did an ultra- controversial walk down Marc Jacobs' Fall 2012 runway, and paraded all up and down the European catwalks this previous year, creating appearances at Chloe, Valentino, and Dolce & Gabbana) and much more a newcomer to the world Earth &mdash Hardin is fifteen a long time aged.
Her Marc Jacobs strut was a violation of the CFDA Health Intitiative, which makes an attempt to boost working conditions for versions and make the manner business marginally less horrible. Karl's like, Thanks but no thanks! It's not style unless of course you're exploiting a person. Practically nothing like spitting in the confront of an honor code to truly feel like a huge guy.
There is so not a scarcity of above -sixteen types, I can't even make a joke about it. In truth, have you observed ladies ? There are many lovely kinds. The fact that designers can't even stick to a sixteen-and- in excess of age guideline in the types they cast is plainly sick, and considering about it makes me nauseous. Hardin is a attractive female and requires excellent backstage photographs and I'm convinced she's really good, but the a single matter that really seperates her from other teenage styles is her tabooed age.
&ldquoShe doesn&rsquot search 15. She seems to be 18 or 19,&rdquo the designer informed WWD.
Then why cast her at all? Lagerfeld wants to press back again from even the most permissive age limitations, mainly because much better working circumstances for styles would give youthful ladies in vogue more energy. It's possible that at some point even the strength to say no to him.
And what's Karl if folks aren't frightened of him? Just an previous guy with a ponytail.
