Fashion Is Fun

Karl: Officially a Character

meta karl.jpgHe’s got his own teddy bear, a lead figurine, a vinyl Kidrobot - so what would be the next logical move?


A character in a video game, of course.

But not just any video game - Karl Lagerfeld’s likeness will soon appear as a radio DJ in teen boy favorite Grand Theft Auto.

The game’s in stores April 29, so you’ll have to wait a little bit to find out if any of the “politically incorrect dialogue” the game writers included (and that Karl so loved) made it into the final cut. We imagine him saying stuff like, “If you hadn’t stopped at D&D earlier you might be able to cruise through that hairpin turn a little faster” or whatever.

In other Meta-Karl news, reader Emily sent us an old Adult Swim clip we somehow missed from Metalocalypse - she thinks the fashion designer in question was drawn to look like Karl.

What do you guys think?

That Adult Swim clip was a little too intense for my liking.

Yeah, it was a *tad* intense. I do think the designer in the clip was drawn to look like Karl. The accent, the clothing, the skinny pants (lol) - definitely.

Oh yeah, when that episode came on even my husband, who knows not of such things, goes: "Oh my god! It's Karl Lagerfeld!"

Particularly when he declared the whole band "awful fatties" (even the Tokis) and gave them all eating disorders.

This is hilarious. I work in the video game industry...but have a side passion for fashion. It's TOO weird seeing my worlds collide...
