Fashion PR: written by Shannon Nelson
Karl Lagerfeld, brilliant fashion designer and an undeniably eccentric man, has a new paperback book coming out this May called The Beauty of Violence. Lagerfeld's muse, Italian fashion model Baptiste Giabiconi, is said to be enacting an "erotic seizure" through body language and fashion throughout the 96 pages of what is sure to have art and fashion lovers talking. Let me say that again just in case your eyes glazed over like mine did, "erotic seizure."
Giabiconi is said to be "provocative with a sultry stare and at times withdraws from it into a state of feigned self-absorption." Now Mr. Lagerfeld has always been superb at encapsulating the essence of sensuality, albiet through Chanel, and I'm sure this expression of sexual aggression will be no different, ecclectic certainly, but it falls right in with the Lagerfeld branding.
Knowing what you know about Karl Lagerfeld, what are your expectations for this book?
