Legendary German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has weighed into the debate on skinny magazine models in typical flamboyant style, ridiculing the backlash against unrealistic body images.
In the wake of Brigitte magazine’s decision to stop using online models in its pages, Lagerfeld said the whole debate was absurd.Fat mummies sit there in front of the television with their potato chips and say skinny models are ugly,he said in remarks published by Focus magazine on Sunday.
Various online models are available and many young women want to become a fashion model.
The world of fashion where all types of modeling are there like advertisement models and runway models etc. was all about dreams and illusions, Lagerfeld added, concluding that no one really wanted to see overweight women.
Last week, Brigitte, which is one of Germany’s top women’s magazines, announced it would be replacing models in its photo in different dress and it spreads with readers and staff who better represented ordinary women.
The magazine’s co-editor Andreas Lebert said many women found the idea of beauty conveyed by fashion advertisement models and other models to be outdated and moulded by the fashion industry.
