Karl Lagerfeld has always been something of a question-mark; amazingly talented at, well, everything aparently but we don't know much about his personal life. The designer took time out of his jam-packed schedule to guest edit the Paris Metro and we got a small glimpse into his thoughts. Of course, being Kaiser Karl, the scraps he shared were full of controversial statements! He talks about everything from why Obama should be re-elected to Lana Del Rey in an interview with the paper, which came out on the 6th Feb. 

Karl on Adele, Florence Welch and Lana Del Rey:

"I prefer Adele and Florence Welch but as a modern singer she is not bad. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana Del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants."

Karl on Obama's Re-Election:

"Yes he does (deserve to be re-elected), especially because of Mrs. Obama. I'm a big fan of Mrs. Obama - and her face, I think, is magical. He would not be there without her. Mrs. Obama is not a fashion statement, but she has other things to do. My favourite thing about Mrs. Obama was when she was asked if her skirt was not too tight and she answered “Why you don’t like my big black ass?” I want (Barack) Obama to win because there is nothing better anyway, and especially because of her.

Karl on Russian Women:

If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.

Karl on the Greek Economic Crisis:

Greece needs to work on a cleaner image. It’s a big problem, as (Greeks) have this reputation of being so corrupt. You can’t be sure the money will go where it’s supposed to go. They need to build trust, and that takes time too. Nobody wants Greece to disappear, but they have really disgusting habits – Italy as well.

Karl on Never Voting:

I never voted in my life. I will never vote. I know too much about politics from what’s going on backstage. To vote you have to believe all that garbage that they promise you, and they can’t keep those promises. If someone gave me an Obama pin, I would just put it on.

Karl on M.I.A Giving the Finger at the Superbowl:

Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it’s not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what’s new about that? It’s just become a bad habit.

Yes folks, that's the world according to Karl! Do you agree?
