An Open Letter to Karl Lagerfeld Re: Calling Adele "Fat"

Rae Alexandra Feb 8, 2012 7:57 AM


Dear Karl,

We know you live in a world where protruding bones, malnourishment, and constant critical analysis of the female form is perfectly normal, but we don't like it very much when you step into our world (the non-fashion one, where ladies are allowed to eat more than 500 calories worth of food a day if they want to), and force your limited view of womanhood on everyone.

We mention this because of the interview you did with the Metro newspaper in Paris this week. You may recall that when you were asked your opinion of Lana Del Rey, you responded: "I prefer Adele... The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."
