Karl Lagerfeld Praises Fake Fur At Channel Fashion Show

Karl Lagerfeld is digging the fake fur scene!
The designer recently praised fake fur used in the Channel fall 2010 runway show.
Has Lagerfeld experienced a change in heart?
As Allure discusses, Lagerfeld was quoted by The Telegraph saying discussing the ethics of fur in fashion was “childish.”
But the beauty of faux has caught Lagerfeld’s attention and if he’s not doing it for ethics, at least he’s appreciating the aesthetic value of using material from something other than an animal.
Plus, the new fake fur is now soft and cuddly, according to Lagerfeld.
“Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing—not one piece,” said Lagerfeld. “That was the idea. The material is beautiful and new in a way, because it was not that perfect before. It looked vaguely ok, but if you touched it, it was stiff and harsh. Now, it’s not like that at all anymore.”
On another positive note, Allure says Lagerfeld also doesn’t eat meat.
