World famous designer Karl Lagerfeld was in the papers a few weeks ago for taking a pop at the UK singing sensation Adele, saying she was overweight, well it seems the fashion icon should have a look in the mirror before passing judgement on the appearance of others. Karl was a guest on German talk show Markus Lanz yesterday, and he showed up sporting a rather unpleasant set of brown teeth, which did nothing to complement his standard black and white outfit, complete with dark shades indoors. Although the designer’s teeth didn’t appear to be in a severe state of decay, they certainly looked like they could do with a good brush and polish.
The 78-eight-year old is not normally one to show off his smile or even have his picture taken with his mouth open, so it was something of a surprise to fans and photographers alike when he was papped whilst speaking during the appearance in Hamburg. With a set of gnashers in such a state of disrepair, it perhaps isn’t surprising that the designer is less than enthusiastic about having his picture taken.
Lagerfeld has more reason to smile than most lately, as he has been commissioned to design an exclusive fleet of VIP helicopters for aircraft manufacturers Agusta Westland. Perhaps he will invest in a tooth whitening treatment before embarking on another round of press conferences and talk show appearances to promote his latest venture.
