Did Karl Finally Get a Sour Set of Reviews?
Certain ballet afficianados are in a tizzy over Karl Lagerfeld’s costumes for the English National Ballet. The Daily Telegraph’s Sarah Crompton ranted about the “awful outfit that put Elena Glurdjidze’s Dying Swan in a feathered neck brace…did nothing to aid her performance of Anna Pavlova’s favourite party piece,” and The Guardian’s Judith Mackrell agreed, calling the tutu “the one fake note” of the performance, “conceived with cavalier disregard for the ballerina’s working body–the line of the neck broken by an egregious, fluffy ruff, the waistline broken by a too-high skirt.” What say you, darlings? As for us, naturellement, we maintain the Kaiser can do no wrong…
