One rainy Friday night in midtown the Cut found itself in a gallery with a glass of wine staring at walls plastered with pictures of male model Brad Kroenig. The photos were taken by none other than Karl Lagerfeld and were selections from his new book, Metamorphoses of an American. We were told the Kaiser himself would make an appearance at this book party, so we dallied about waiting for him for two hours. When he finally showed, we managed to get face time (and no, we didn't faint!). Find out why he picked Brad, if he'll ever do a show in New York, and what exactly he thinks of Hillary Clinton's pants.
