Catherine Duchess of Cambridge has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy (Prince William). I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister (Pippa Middleton) struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.
Has done many photo shoots for celebrities, including Dakota Fanning.

When he collaborated with the Swedish fashion chain "H&M", which offered a limited number of his designs, almost all the clothes were sold out after two days (2004).
As he wanted to dress differently and wear the clothes of fellow designer Hedi Slimane, he lost 36 kilograms in one year, which led to a book called "The Karl Lagerfeld Diet".
German-born fashion designer (mostly for Chanel), Lagerfeld moved to Paris at the age of 14 and speaks fluently 4 languages (German, French, English and Italian).
