Lagerfeld Everywhere I Look

August 22, 2008 by WendyB

Which is more amusing? A Karl Lagerfeld teddy bear…?

Photo from W

… Or Karl Lagerfeld Keds designed by Jill Sherman at Trend de la Creme? (You can design your own Keds at zazzle.com, but it’s going to be tough to top Jill’s.)

    KL overload … as much as I love him, I think his own branding technique is becoming unbearable. I wonder who would replace him at Chanel? He is bound to retire one day, isn’t he?

    July Stars, did you just say unBEARable?

    Dunno, that looks like a weasel to me…

    (r)evolver is right. And, weasels are much chicer than bears.

    And, I would love to see Karl and the weasel wearing the shoes.

    $1,500 for a teddy bear is really unbearable.
    Jill’s shoes are incredible!

    The Teddy Bear is more amusing.

  7. WendyB says

    Wrong answer, KD! Always side with the blogger 😉

    ugh i adore karl. he is like a german tim gunn i.e. he would beat you while making you laugh.

    I really like the shoes.

    Funny. I will pass them both up.

    The bear is hilarious. Despite the artful tinting, I think having KL stare back at me from the toes of my Keds might be kind of scary.

    The bear has to win, just because that photo is so fabulously ridiculous.

    I suppose one could take out some anger by kicking balls straight off Karl Langerfeld’s face.

  15. WendyB says

    August 22, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    Good point, Skye. LBR, maybe this is how you should style your weasels?

    Ooh I want that teddy bear.

  17. Sammy says

    Hahahha! That teddy bear is hilarious! Never before (or again) will i probably think of Karl as cuddly :OP

  18. Carolina Lange says

    August 22, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Too much of Karl!
    And the bear is just hilarious!

  19. Prunella Jones says

    The are both good for a chortle, but I’ll go for the first one. It has an extra “awww” flavor because of the bear.

    OMG… what will they think of next to put his image on!
    I have been working illustrations for a Coco Chanel book which includes Lagerfeld… so I had to come up with 3 motifs for his background… fun illustration job… I will have to let you know when the book comes out!
    Thanks for the laugh!

    Must they compete for the honor of “Most Amusing?” Can’t they all just get along?

  22. Songy says

    August 22, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    I should say the bear!

  23. Pretty In Black says

    August 22, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    I would say the bear, but there’s something about Lagerfel + Keds that gives me a tickle.

  24. The Clothes Horse says

    August 22, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    How wrong is it that I want that teddy bear?

  25. styleraven says

    August 22, 2008 at 11:04 pm

    I’d go for the bear.
    If I was to wear clothing/shoes with his face, I’d want the Urban Outfitters shirt. It’s a cartoon Karl so it’s not a literal image of him.

  26. Kitt says

    August 23, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Definitely the bear.

  27. pistols at dawn says

    August 23, 2008 at 11:26 am

    Take that, Rodin, you hack!

  28. -h of candid cool says

    August 23, 2008 at 11:29 am

    you’re right he is popping up in some unexpected places

  29. petite and dynamite says

    August 23, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    that’s a nice tribute.. your face on a pair of sneakers… so warhol like.. Note to self…I think I’ll get a pair of Marilyn M’s…

    The first pic is so funny! xD

    I’m with The Clothes Horse here, how bad is it that I would love to have that teddy bear?
