But I suddenly wanted to dress differently to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane….But these fashions modeled by very very slim boys—and not men of my age—required me to lose at least eighty pounds....I did not think that it was possible to lose so much weight in one year....[But] in fact it took me exactly thirteen months. —Karl Lagerfeld Karl Lagerfeld’s case is spectacular as it shows how it is possible through determination and willpower to return to a harmonious balance even when excess weight is of a long-standing deeply ingrained nature.
