Karl Lagerfeld Explains His Crazy Cruise Collection, Reveals Extravagant Plans ...

He goes on to describe the collection as “very rock” (which we see a little bit in most of his collections) and “not at all 18th century,” though, obviously, there were 18th century elements and, you know, the show took place at Versailles.
Despite Chanel’s disdain for mini skirts and denim , both of which definitely feature heavily in this collection, along with some even more risqué pieces, Lagerfeld reveals that the collection was actually inspired by his predecessor. Apparently, some of Coco Chanel’s designs were inspired by a figure from a Watteau painting that she dressed up as for a masquerade ball in 1937. And that’s what inspired this collection. “With one little thing like this, I make a collection.” He makes it sound so easy, and explains his plans for next year’s Cruise spectacle with the same nonchalance.
Er, um, I mean, Easter. It’s always been about the candy for me, and Easter is prime candy hunting season. So, sometime last week I went on the hunt for what else – Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. The orange ones, in particular. I could find none. I went to Walmart because it was 1am and I needed trash bags and a light bulb. All I could find were the mini regular Creme Eggs and only chocolate and caramel 4 packs in the regular sized Creme Eggs. I almost went for the caramel ones, but thought I should research whether they were the typical Creme Egg (fondant) texture, or actual caramel, before I committed to 4 of them. To me, the appeal of the Creme Egg is the fondant. I love the stiff-yet-runny sugary texture. But seriously, why should I doubt them either way? It’s not just Cadbury, but Cadbury’s caramel. I distinctly remember eating entire bags full of individually wrapped Caramellos all by my lonesome when I was in junior high. I mean, not in one day, but they probably should have lasted longer than they did. (Okay. I’ve officially convinced myself that it’s time to try the Caramel Creme Eggs. They’re fondant, by the way. I can’t possibly go wrong with that, no matter how many of them I buy.)
