Putin Looks Great, But Other Russian Men are Ugly, Says Karl Lagerfeld

German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has branded Russian men as ugly, Mrs.Obama as magical, and Queen Elizabeth as being a more smiley version of her grandmother Queen Victoria, in a column he wrote as guest editor-in-chief of Tuesday’s edition of Metro, a global newspaper, RIA Novosti reports.

As part of a series of images of key political figures for the Metro, he created a drawing of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wearing a crown with the inscription “Putin’s dream.”

About Putin, who is a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections, he said: “You know he looks great. I don’t even know how old he is. Well, I don’t think he is that old.”

On Barack Obama: “I’m a big fan of Mrs. Obama and her face, I think, is magical. My favorite thing about Mrs. Obama was when she was asked if her skirt was not too tight and she answered, ‘Why, you don’t like my big black ass?’ I want Obama to win because there is nothing better anyway, and especially because of her.”

On Russian men: “If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.”
