Celebrity feuds are awesomely entertaining, especially when they get super petty. Chanel head designer Karl Lagerfeld is getting persistent in his attacks on Victoria Secret supermodel Heidi Klum and — a bit below the belt, I have to say — Heidi’s musician husband Seal:
In February German-born Karl was blasted after saying Heidi was ‘too heavy’ to be a catwalk model.
Now he’s claimed no-one in the fashion industry knows who she is.
The French-based fashionista said: “I don’t know her. CLAUDIA SCHIFFER doesn’t know her.
“She was never in Paris, we don’t know her.”
He also had it in for the pregnant beauty’s husband SEAL — taking an an evil swipe at the singer’s skin condition.
Karl added: “I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin.
“Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.”
Ouch! For the record, Seal’s facial scars are due to discoid lupus erythematosus, which he developed as a teenager. So way to be a total jerk there, Karl.
Also, Karl doesn’t talk about it much, but he used to weigh 92 pounds more. He has said he lost the weight so he could fit into clothes made for “very, very slim boys.” Perhaps I ask too much, but you’d expect someone who has struggled with his appearance in the past to have at least enough class not to pick on people who seem to have healthy self-esteem and successful careers.

He probably is correct that Heidi is considered “heavy” for a catwalk model, but did he ever think the standards are too thin? I know several people who would love to look like her after their 3 child.
If I had my choice between Karl and Seal, I would always pick Seal. Karl just doesn’t seem right in the head.
What the heck is up with this guy? He sounds like an aging old fart on the way out, being jealous of those possibly taking his place in the biz. He’s got his own successes, why be so belligerent I wonder? Must be some kind of behind the scenes biz grudge going on. He sounds worse than a ranting jealous teenaged girl dishing at the cafeteria table during lunch. :-p
I would totally hit that one fat chick, Heidi Klum.
Glad to see you’re making up for lost time, Jrod. No one was getting hit around here for a while. You were missed.
Karl Lagerfeld joke. Some assembly required.
Lost 92 lbs. Very, Very slim boys, windowless van, Playboys.
(Don’t want the Deceiver people mad at me.)
Real mature ‘Mean Girls’ stuff there Karl. What a tool. A creepy tool at that.
I wouldn’t want Karl’s mouth. It’s seen too much of too many very, very slim boys.
I would rather look at Seal’s face than an over botoxed ugly mug like Karls
true dat aaw. Seal’s skin condition is unfortunate, but his talent and class pretty much make everyone forget about it. Karl on the other hand looks like he’s had more plastic injected into his face than a Ken doll.
Karl looks like one of those Sprockets guys from SNL.

Well, the only way Lagerfeld’s skin looks better than Seal’s is that it has been stretched tight-as-a-drum and filled with so much plastic it looks like a scary doll face. I would take Seal’s natural looks any day over that overblown puff of a man & his ego.
He also apparently has a problem with the fact that she smiles– it’s not at all avant-garde.

She’s a Victoria’s Secret model, you moron! Of course she has “too large a breast” or however the hell he worded it.
Lagerfeld is a nasty old man and KNOWS he is old and getting older every day, hence his “problem” with the couple. He needs to get out that uppity stick someone shoved up his bum. Heidi and Seal are beautiful the way they are.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Claudia Schiffer a Guess Jeans girl with “too large breasts” herself in the 90s? Come to think of it, weren’t most supermodels in the 90s (aside from Kate Moss), pretty well-endowed and curvy by fashion standards?
What a little bitch.
This is one of the few photos where I’ve seen him without the ever-present neck-concealing collar. Awww, does someone have a wattle?
Had a girlfriend at one time who waited on a party of Karl Lagerfeld and two models in Hawaii back about 12 years ago. Lagerfeld was an pain in the ass the whole night before tipping her a grand. As in $1,000. True story.
So what if Heidi’s too curvy for the catwalk?
The real money is in photograpy and product representation where they let you eat more than radish sprouts and notebook paper.
Too true, Minnow. Gisele Bunchen ain’t getting ridiculously rich from prowling the catwalk at Chanel.
Hmmm… A person co-responsible for personality and self-esteem issues that fashion induces in lots and lots of people is actually giving a hard time to one of the very few in fashion industry who managed to stay largely human? I can’t even think of a better metaphor for hypocrisy. I guess it’s true what they say – it’s no coincidence that the words “fashion” and “fascism” are so close together…
How tall is Heidi? I know for the most part, female runway models should be about 5′10″. But like I said, she’s a freaking Victoria’s Secret model, which means she’s supposed to be a bit curvier than a walking coathanger. And as I recall, Kate Moss, who IS a walking coathanger, is 5′9″ or so…
Keep in mind this is the same guy who blasted H&M for having the nerve to carry his guest line in sizes larger than small, extra-small, and miniscule; he said, “I make clothes for slender women.” Thus, if I ever get the money to buy designer clothes anywhere but the resale shop, I will refuse to buy any one of his designs. I think he’s just foaming at the mouth that Seal and Heidi Klum will always blow him out of the water, as far as looks and taste are concerned. (Yes, I think Seal’s hot, scars and all. He’s in great shape, he always dresses in sharp suits, and his face is beautiful, especially when he smiles.)
