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.

JoantheFennel · 08/02/2012 13:28

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

HippoPottyMouth · 08/02/2012 13:28

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

silverfrog · 08/02/2012 13:29

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.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/02/2012 13:31

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.

HippoPottyMouth · 08/02/2012 13:31

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"

Spidermama · 08/02/2012 13:35

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.

mousymouseafraidofdogs · 08/02/2012 13:38

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

SocialMoray · 08/02/2012 13:39

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

silverfrog · 08/02/2012 13:39

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

he gave it.

non-story, tbh.

JustHecate · 08/02/2012 13:39

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.

Kenobi · 08/02/2012 13:41

He should know. He was massively overweight for years.

Now he looks like a baggy tortoise.

HippoPottyMouth · 08/02/2012 13:41

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.

CalamityKate · 08/02/2012 13:41

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

ZuzuBailey · 08/02/2012 13:42

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

ValarMorghulis · 08/02/2012 13:46

uproar why?

OtterNonsense · 08/02/2012 13:46

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

sonicrainboom · 08/02/2012 13:46

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