channeling chanel

for an upcoming issue, Harper's Bazaar decieded to interview Karl Lagerfeld but have him answers the question as if he was Coco Chanel herself. Here's a preview...


Harper's Bazaar: What's the new Chanel classic? Karl Lagerfeld as Coco Chanel: As apparently my old jacket is still around, done by this idiot Karl, I have to help him find a new idea.

HB: What's on your iPod? KL as CC: The Kills. They suit my character.

HB: What would you change about your looks? Would you consider Botox? KL as CC: When I look at myself in the mirror, I think I'm pretty modern — whatever that means. But maybe I should change my makeup. In my day, the products were dreadful.

HB: Your clothing liberated women in the 1920s. Are you still a feminist?
KL as CC: I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

HB: You were famous for your paramours. Whom would you have an affair with today?
KL as CC: I like handsome men, so there would be many possibilities, but dukes and princes are not the right escort for a woman like me today. I like to charm younger men. This has not changed.
