Karl Lagerfeld weighs in:
“I think after the ugly skinny boys of Hedi [Slimane’s] days . . . some ‘beauty’ was needed, but new beauty." Baptiste Giabiconi, who is peppered all over Lagerfeld's recent editorial and advertising work, Karl likens to “a boy version of Gisele [Bündchen]: skinny, skinny but with an athletic body — good for clothes and great with no clothes.” Even Naomi Campbell, according to Lagerfeld, was envious when she met Baptiste in Moscow recently - she told him: “It’s not right: We all have defects. You have none.”
