Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld says to just get over the anti-Trump hysteria

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld says to just get over the anti-Trump hysteria February 17, 2017

Remember when fashion designers refused to dress Melania Trump for her husband’s inauguration?

Well, Page Six reports on Karl Lagerfeld’s recent comments that will make you SO happy:

“Fashion people are fashion, they are not politics,” he tells WSJ Magazine’s March issue. Referring to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he said, “Maybe her clothes are horrible, but she is not in fashion, hmm?”

The designer reveals he “loved Michelle Obama,” and “Mrs. Trump is a very nice woman and pretty handsome. Good body, no? And this Ivanka is quite cute, no?”

He says, “I knew [Donald] Trump before, when he was not in politics. I’m not American, but he’s a democratically elected president … so people have to deal with it.”

Isn’t that great?  I wish I could call him up and order a gown right now.

Wait, first, I have to go to work, pick up the kids from school, and dinner.  But I would if I could.  Thanks, Karl, for the candid take on how fashion and politics really shouldn’t mix.
