Karl Lagerfeld is ... I Don't Even Know...

Karl Lagerfeld did an interview with Bruce LaBruce for Vice, and because of it I have a brand new fascination with Lagerfeld. He's some sort of fucked-up genius.

He's against gay marriage and gay men having babies:

Yes, I’m against it for a very simple reason: In the 60s they all said we had the right to the difference. And now, suddenly, they want a bourgeois life.

For me it’s difficult to imagine—one of the papas at work and the other at home with the baby. How would that be for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than I see boys married with babies. And I also believe more in the relationship between mother and child than in that between father and child.

He admires porn and prefers escorts:

I admire porn.

And I personally only like high-class escorts. I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy. And for the way the rich live, this is possible. But the other world, I think they need porn. I also think it’s much more difficult to perform in porn than to fake some emotion on the face as an actor.

On his childhood:

I was very much like a grown-up. I have photos of me as a child wearing a tie, and it’s the same as I am today. And of course I was very successful with pedophilia. I knew about it when I was ten.

The rest of the seven page interview is here. And completely worth the read.

Karl Lagerfeld Buys a Piece of Vermont

Karl Lagerfeld is going to Vermont. And staying there. The designer bought himself a six bedroom building on an island in Lake Champlain having only seen it from pictures. WWD reports:

“I love it. It’s very much Emily Dickinson,” Lagerfeld said backstage at Chanel, describing a landscape not unlike the North of Europe, from which he hails. The designer is already plotting a décor worthy of a Vilhelm Hammershoi painting – and perfect for a fashion campaign. “I’ll start doing the Chanel campaigns there,” he said.

When I grow up I want to be Karl Lagerfeld. Or maybe I just want enough money to buy houses because I like the pictures. Either is good.
