Mumsnet Talk

What a prick! At least she looks like she's alive.
She's a musician not a bloody model.
No wonder so many girls are so miserable about their weight.

Here.

Yeah but she can lose her weight whereas he's stuck with that face for the rest of his life.

Yes, because he's known for such a healthy attitude to the female form.

he's not wrong though, is he?
although she has lost weight recently - I guess she agrees

I think there is a huge difference between 'looking like you are alive' (ie not a dieted-to-within-an-inch-of-your-life size zero with bones sticking out all over the place) and being overweight.

Adele is a bit overweight.

should this be commented on, since she is a singer, rathert han trying to make money from ehr looks? no it shouldn't. but that doesn't change the fact that she is a bit overweight (and more so than is necessary to 'look alive' imo.)

Fuck witted fashionista.

Eeeeww.

He gives me the willies.

Is he even a real person?
He looks like a cross between Peter Stringfellow and a Thunderbirds puppet.

Fair play, she is a bit big but, she's a singer.
I'd like to be as big as Adele, I doubt I'll achieve it without a gastric band though.
KL is a nobber. I won't be buying any more of his clothes in protest.

and let's get it in context, a little. He actually said "She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

he didn't just say "she's fat"

Of course Adele's a little bit fat but he has no business commenting on that in public. If she were a model or a fitness instructor, then yes. She's a singer!

No-one comments in the press about the weight of our tubbier male singers.

Hippo he said, 'she's a little too fat' for what? For singing? For his taste? Also, people in glass houses and all that. He's utterly terrifying to look at.

well, she is overweight. (and has a beautiful face and wonderful voice)
why shouldn't he talk about that in public?

He looks like he could do with a few pies himself.

he was (as someone from the fashion industry) asked his opinion of Adele.

he gave it.

non-story, tbh.

ah, but you forget. What matters about a man is his ability.

What matters about a woman is her looks, her body and her age.

He should know. He was massively overweight for years.

Now he looks like a baggy tortoise.

yes exactly, silver, he gave his opinion on her image i suppose. He was being asked about current singers. i expect he's quite a visual person, being a fashion designer and all.

Well, she is a bit chubby but it was rude of him to say it.

Wasn't he the 'designer' who brought out a range of clothes entitled 'Shaped to be raped' ?

She's a bit fat.

He looks like he's been dug up after twelve years in the ground.

That is all.

and i think people used to comment on demis roussos' weight

and gary 'fat dancer' barlow

she is overweight.
he is a nob.

uproar why?

Adele says, "Did you mean to sound so rude, Karl?"

Some fashion git thinks some woman is fat. How is this "news"? I will continue to not give a damn about Lagerfeld's opinions.
