Now he's claimed no-one in the fashion industry knows who she is.

So was there an incident that lead up to this verbal attack? or is this the green eyed monster rearing its ugly head?

What shock, acid words from a sassy flamboyant designer that's been propelled as the messiah of couture. Even if one were to acknowledge Channel as less inventive than other houses it's a gold mine as far its profitability--especially considering that many luxury lines are near the chopping block. The man can say what he wants and if it has to do with the fashion business he's probably right.

Who do he think he is! Karl is just mad because he can't look like Heidi and he is probably upset because Seal want Heidi and not him...
I always thought Karl had some psychological issues but who do you expect from a old man he probably has the beginning stages of senality.

I wrote Lagerfeld off years ago because after Princess Diana's death he said "Princess Diana was stupid" and that "Camilla Parker-Bowles is a goer", so there is no accounting for his bad taste.

Now, Lagerfeld is just lashing out at happy couples, like Heidi and Seal, in particular frustration because he can't pay anyone to touch him anymore; there are literally no takers.

Princess Diana was an extremely troubled woman and did some very foolish things because of her paranoia and insecurities, deeply hurting many along the way. She did, indeed, behave very stupidly on many occasions.

Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, has always behaved impeccably and with a lot of class. She is becoming very popular now because she is so genuine. Two of her biggest fans are Prince William and Prince Harry.

Perhaps, if you took the time to really do some research about these two women, you would gain a realistic perspective.

The Duchess of Cornwall was villainized because she and Prince Charles had an affair. How hypocritical. Prince Charles didn't take up his affair with her again until long after Diana had cheated on him with James Hewitt. She was also villainized, because she is not as good looking as Princess Diana was. How shallow.

Ther is more than ounce of truth in what Karl Lagerfeld said.

To Nevaforleadership,

I have done my research way before Diana was killed in Paris to know that you’re just another ass kissing, sycophant for the British Royal Family in their attempt to re-write history.

The Duchess of Cornwall is in fact very unpopular in Britain as she ever was, her picture can’t be place on the cover of any British tabloid because it won't sell. The majority of the British public do not want Camilla crowned as Queen, when her stolen husband takes the throne; just like she is not called the Princess of Wales but the Duchess of Cromwell because it would offend too many people.

The last thing Camilla has ever exhibited is class; she was too busy banging both her real husband and Prince Charles during Prince Charles and Diana's marriage. Major Parker-Bowles (you know she never received an annulment from her first marriage which she became a Catholic in order to marry him).

Diana was entitled to her husband and if they wanted her to share him then they damn sure should have told her that before the wedding. Once Charles got two kids out of Diana he told her she’d remain his wife and future Queen but that he no longer intended to sleep with her yet you think Diana was paranoid? It seems Diana had a lot to be insecure about and if anyone has been deeply hurt it was Diana.

You have no shame at all and no creditability whatsoever.

Oh, designers say this kind of thing about models all the time. Even Janice Dickinson regularly talks about models like this. This is fashion.

Heidi was never much for couture work anyway. She was a Sports Illustrated star, right? The catwalk stars are all super skinny, coatracks in heels. Heidi has a lovely more real woman's body, albeit kept in immaculate condition. She's more of a pinup.

He needs to keep on fanning himself with that ridiculous fan and shut the hell up. How sad to get to his age an be so bitter.

there is NOTHING more unattractive and tacky than a 200 year old queen dissing others while continuing to act and look like a complete ponce ---

love your Agnes/Bankhead...two incomparable artists...love them, love them both so much!...what a lovely surprise to see that...

anyway, yes, it's sad that he stooped this low...sounds like she may have rejected him perhaps in a fashion shoot...either way...makes him look really bad

no reason to talk about her and her husband that way...Sea has Lupus...no reason to insult that...

And, with GOOD reason. She's lovely, as is Seal, and certainly as are her kiddies. Poor old has-been Karl...alone and lonely and bitter.
