At this week’s Gordon Parks Foundation dinner, Elle asked Karl Lagerfeld who he’d pick to write his biography. “Whoever has time, because I couldn’t care less. Today nobody’s really found the real story,” he answered. And he definitely won’t go out of his way to throw would-be biographers a bone: “I don’t have too much consideration for the poor people who try to write that book … But it’s interesting that people in fact are lazy. If they worked hard they would find interesting things. Nobody finds it! So I’m in a position to say ‘Fuck you, you’re all lazy pigs.’ And I certainly won’t help them!” [Elle.com]
