Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld seems to have swapped designing for advising as the Chanel supremo has written a fashion advice column for Harper's Bazaar magazine.

Karl is as sharp and truthful as you would expect. When asked how to wear heels at a cocktail party he scoffs: "Please, your question is childish. Don't drink when you wear stilettos.

"I can't advise you to get drunk at home to find out if you would be able to walk in them at a party. Plus, you aren't on the runway. Life should not be a fashion show. Only the girls in the shows have to wear unfinished prototypes. What you see later in the shops are safe--or safer."

He does offer some good advise though on how to adapt to the recession: "Reinvent your look. Start at the beginning. Look at yourself honestly, and don't ask me to tell you what you want to hear. I am not here only to please you. My job is also to tell you that it's time for a little change. I hope you don't mind."

Someone give that man a magazine deal!
