Like everything he comes even into relative contact with, Karl Lagerfeld has an opinion on Emmanuelle Alt‘s recent appointment to Editrix-in-Chief of Vogue Paris: ” Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out. I personally like her.”
The Kaiser went on to croak Alt’s praises: “She’s a handsome French woman. She has a style, but is it enough to make a whole magazine?”
Well, it’s a valid question, one that Lagerfeld will surely answer in his usual straight-forward way, though he said he would “reserve judgement” until she spearheaded a few issues.
Karl Lagerfeld is great at many things, but reserving judgement?
How much longer do we have to wait before he declares French Vogue officially dead, has Baptiste Giabiconi steel away in the night to behead Emmanuelle Alt and use her Swarovski crystal-encrusted skull as the centerpiece for one of Chanel‘s Resort collections?
Seriously, I’m taking bets.

I was center square from 1969 to 1978, during which I perfected the art of the zing as well as a crippling cocaine addiction. Bea Arthur was responsible for both.
