Coco through Karl

Coco Avant Chanel premiers September 25th in the US, hence Harper's Bazaar asking Karl Lagerfeld to "channel" Coco Chanel for an interview. He calls himself an idiot (which makes me love him insanely), says "The Kills" suit her character and Coco declares herself as never a femenist. Here we go; 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 1920's. Are you still a femenist? KL(as CC): I was never a femenist 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. (fashionologie)
