High Fashion Feuds

Karl Lagerfeld Has it Out for Heidi Klum and Husband, Seal

Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld has once again dissed Heidi Klum, along with her husband Seal.

Back in February, Karl Lagerfeld claimed he didn't know who Heidi Klum was and that Claudia Schiffer didn't even know who she was. Lagerfeld has now turned to unleash his anger toward Seal, saying, “I am no dermatologist, but I wouldn't want his skin.”

Could the slump in the fashion industry be behind Karl Lagerfeld's mean spirits?

Implications - His aggressive attitude definitely won't win over more fashion fans for him, and let's face it, the Klum clan combined has a ton of supportive followers. With Heidi's modelling background and Seal's successful singing background behind them, Lagerfeld will have quite the confrontational crowd to face.
