LOL! KARL LAGERFELD DEFENDS SUPER SKINNY MODELS! SAY'S NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK AT "FAT MUMMIES" ON THE RUNWAY!

Fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld is defending the use of rail-thin models to sell clothes.
Indeed, the 76-year-old German designer says no one wants to look at plus-size women on the runway, according to the New Zealand Herald.

"Fat mummies sit there in front of the television with their chip packets and say skinny models are ugly," Lagerfeld said in an interview with Focus magazine.

Lagerfeld was responding to the ongoing debate over the use of thin models, which heated up last week when the editor of the German magazine Brigitte announced last week that the publication would not hire professional models starting next year and instead would use real women.

Why?

The Editor-in-Chief of the mag, Andreas Lebert, told the Herald last week that the staff was tired of re-touching bone-thin models to make them look bigger.

"We're looking for women who have their own identity, whether it be the 18-year-old A-level student, the company chairwoman, the musician, or the footballer," he said.


But despite outrage in the industry over underweight models, Lagerfeld told the mag that the world of fashion is ultimately about "dreams and illusions" not reality.
