Style Drama ^ | Dec 12th, 2008 | Style Drama

[Mister Ghost]

Meet Karl Lagerfeld’s new role: dish designer. He has designed a champagne coupe that was inspired by Queen Marie Antoinette’s breasts and comes in the form of a new breast-shaped bowl modeled after the bosom of supermodel Claudia Schiffer.

How nice for Him

Note the resemblance to Lloyd Bentsen.

"I knew Marie Antoinette, Marie Antoinette was a friend of mine"

[frankenMonkey]

...So Claudia Schiffer’s got jugs?
(three of ‘em!)

Honest? From the pic it looks like he borrowed her gloves. Maybe he didn't give them back. She really doesn't need them. ;-)

[trisham]

His contempt for the public is clear.

The champagne flute has historically thought to have been modelled on MA’s breasts.

“The champagne flute has historically thought to have been modelled on MA’s breasts.”

I thought they were modeled after Josephine, Napoleon’s sister (who is known to have posed for artists).

[Billthedrill]

I just picked it up as a Christmas gift. Mom’s gonna love it.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

First off, anybody who had breasts shaped like champagne flutes wouldn't be inspiring much of anybody.

The champagne coupe might have been modeled on a breast, but it dates back to at least a hundred years before Marie Antoinette or Josephine.

[RichInOC]

Perhaps one of the few, if not only, times in Karl’s life that he was inspired by the female breast.

[Popman]

Now how thw hell does he knnow what Marie Antoinette’s breasts looked like. She’s been dead since 1793.

I think he was inspired by her hat : )

Mmmmmkay - rock on dude!

Actually, Empress Josephine was Napoleon’s wife.

It was his sister Pauline Bonaparte who when asked how could she pose in the nude, replied “Why not? It wasn’t cold. There was a fireplace in the studio.”

(Look up the Canova nude. Nothing wrong with those perkies.)

And it was the headmistress of the School of Love in Paris, Ninon de Lenclos, who was asked what was considered an adequate size for a woman’s breasts.

She answered,

“Enough to fill the hand of an honest man!”

;^)

[BushCountry]

Not an honest man's hands; closest I could get.
