CARA IS THE NEW KATE MOSS

KARL LAGERFELD: CARA DELEVIGNE IS THE NEW KATE MOSS

In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Karl Lagerfeld talks about a subject we’re all talking about, all the time: Cara Delevingne. The Chanel creative director, who tapped the model to open his fall ready-to-wear show last week, compares her to two great, very different, faces: Charlie Chaplin and Kate Moss.

“She’s a character. She’s the Charlie Chaplin of the fashion world,” he says. “She is kind of genius, like a character out of a silent movie. I would see her better in a silent movie than a talkie because she over-accents the movement. Girls admire her like they used to Kate Moss. They all want to be as free as her.”

Another gem from the interview surrounds the designer’s signature white ponytail: “My mother had beautiful white hair,” he says. “Mine is a little peepee yellow, so that’s why I put the white powder in.”
