A Beautiful Story

This little tale was related to me by one of the participants. He, along with a noted British film director were once working on a commercial with Karl Lagerfeld. During a meeting with the great man the noted director mentioned in passing how much he liked KL's shirt and in a moment of cheekiness asked if he could have one. "No", the maestro replied, "my tailor makes all my shirts. I cannot wear prêt-à-porter. It cuts me like a knife."

Genius. That's how fashion designers should behave. I am going to describe anything I disapprove of from now as "cutting me like a knife".
