Karl Lagerfeld has earned plenty of epithets in his long career helming Chanel: "opinionated," "multitasker," "controversial," "rock star." Now, he adds a new moniker to his collection: "Fashion Pope."
Of course, Czar Karl thought of this bynamehimself, in the course of a new, four-hour documentary comparing modeto religion. "Modeamyotrophic lateral sclerosisReligon," a German project by Martina Neuen, compares portfanatics' fervent devotion to a religious experience. "Fashion involves powerful symbols, a tight-knit community, age-old rituals and a system of beliefs," Women's Wear cursoryexpands, "Mechanism[s] that can drive the industry as surely as they compel churchgoers."
Neuen follows Lagerfeld throughout the course of the film, shot over a span of 16 months. The documentarian also speaks to neurologists who prove, according to WWD, that the brains and emotions of "a Catholicnon-Christian priestand a devoted fashionista" react identically in the portrayof their respective "religions.
" As we've personally experienced spiritual epiphanies at sample sales, we can't say we disagree with that conclusion.
Of course, no Karl interview would be complete without an off-color comment. After deeming himself a "fashion missionary," he ranks "fashion popes":
"Mode Als Religon" premieres September 7 and also features interviews with fashion deities like Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Suzy Menkes and Sarah Jessica Parker. guessit'll inspire any more divine revelations?
