Freaky or Fabulous? Karl Lagerfeld, the Teddy Bear

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:00:22 PDT

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?
