Need proof? Read on for some of Karl’s bitchiest quotes ever:
On Andy Warhol: “I shouldn’t say this, but physically he was quite repulsive.”
On former muse Ines de la Fressange: “I wish her all the luck in the world, just so long as I don’t have to see her anymore or hear her spoken about.”
“The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.”
On Yves Saint Laurent: “He is very middle-of-the-road French-very pied-noir, very provincial.”
“Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, the sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.”
“I had an interview once with some German journalist – some horrible ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists – maybe a week after – and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me: ‘It’s impolite; remove your glasses.’ I said: ‘Do I ask you to remove your bra?'”
On Heidi Klum: “I don’t know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn’t know who she is.”
“If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.”
