Chanel Fashion Designer Criticised For Describing Adele As 'A Little Too Fat'

A world-famous fashion designer has landed himself in controversy after he was quoted saying that he thought superstar soul singer Adele was ‘too fat’.
Karl Lagerfield, head of Chanel’s fashion house, was being interviewed by Metro New York when he confessed that although he was a fan of the star, he thought she was ‘a little too fat’. He went on to give his opinion on M.I.A, Lana Del Rey and Florence Welch.
“I prefer Adele and Florence Welch [to Del Rey],” Lagerfield told Metro New York. “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.”
“Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly - it's not the best behaviour. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.”
As you’d expect, the rude comments have received a backlash from a number of people, including LA-based blog ‘Curves and Chaos’, who wrote: “Are you freaking kidding me? We're done with him and Chanel as long as he's involved with them.”
