Freaky or Fabulous? Karl Lagerfeld, the Teddy Bear

Karl Lagerfeld is the last person I would compare to a teddy bear, but a German toy company seems to think otherwise. Steiff, a famous maker of stuffed animals, has created limited-edition mini Karls that look just like the designer, even down to the black sunglasses, lacquered jeans, and high white shirt collar. But this bear doesn't come cheap. You must fork over $1,500 to get your Karl teddy at Neiman Marcus in September. It doesn't sound like Karl is going to pay up any time soon. "Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection. Frightening," he said. So, is this freaky or fabulous? Adorably freaky?

First the Karl teddy bear, now a Manga doll. It's official: Karl Lagerfeld is an icon. The Italian maker of Japanese-inspired collectible figurines has created a Karl Tokidoki. Karl is clad in vinyl and is 10 inches tall - and he's affordable! Sorta. At 129 euros, about $190, they will be distributed at Tokidoki flagships in New York, Milan, and Los Angeles and select specialty stores for the holidays. Karl Tokidoki is wearing clothes from his K Karl Lagerfeld Collection; the severe sunnies and rhinestone-studded tie are quintessential Karl.
