Just think of how much you can do with the dark suit, the sunglasses, the black gloves, the frilly shirts and the walking stick... not to mention the powdered hair and his weird diet book. It’s all kind of goth meets Victorian era vampire and nobody else in the fashion world is walking around like that. Monsieur Lagerfeld’s latest project is appearing in these French road safety ads for fluorescent jackets. The tag line says, “It’s yellow, it’s ugly, it doesn’t go with anything, but it could save your life.” I can't wait to see what he does next.
