KL’S SELF-LOATHING VINYL TOY.
KL’s relentless war on the fat continued to blossom this week as he defended the skinny people who wear his clothes from the teeming hordes who want to tie his waifish models to pick-up truck bumpers and drag them through Parisian streets. As he levels cantankerous tweets at the overweight it would lead one to believe that Karl had never been fat. Read on
KL IMAGINES HIMSELF AS A WOMAN.
Karl Lagerfeld is not shy to taking on impersonations and roles. A year ago in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Lagerfeld dressed up in his fantasy role of thugged out and cypher flowing rapper KL – apparently the man loves himself some rap. This time around with “Coco Avant Chanel” hitting the screens on September 25th, Bazaar asked him to do an impersonation of Coco as if she were rendezvous-ing today. This subsequently led to KL as Madame Chanel calling himself “idiot Karl”. Self-realization is the bees knees coming from this man. Read on
KL Receives a Crushing Phone Call.

Are we in advertising? Are we making art and calling it advertising? We have no answers for these questions as of yet but keep checking back to see if we’ve gotten any closer to working it out.

KL Makes Downtempo Tapas Video.
We strive daily at WMIG to take our Karl Lagerfeld obsession to great new heights. At times this even involves pointing a gun at an unpaid intern to make sure Karl gets googled all day and night. So when this accessory video slipped through our fingertips and onto a million other blogs before it came to our attention we felt like failures. To us, KL is the only bro who can string together jewelry, models, and headpieces into a dialogue-less music video for some downtempo tapas lounge singer and have us be like: “You’re sick, Karl! You’re sick!”
