Karl Lagerfeld Changes Tune and Shoots Plus-Size Performer for V Magazine

For Someone who defended skinny models, this is a change or is it a stunt! hmmm

Just three months ago, designer Karl Lagerfeld was defending skinny models and claiming that "no one wants to see round women."

Hmmm, we wonder how he feels now after photographing the very voluptuous burlesque star Miss Dirty Martini for V magazine's "Size Issue," on newsstands Jan. 14.

For the lingerie-themed shoot, Lagerfeld invited Miss Martini to the hallowed Chanel atelier off of 31 rue Cambon in Paris, where a Coco Chanel look-alike posed alongside the busty and scantily clad performer.

Oddly enough, Martini doesn't don any garments by Chanel; instead she wears the brand's accessories including a chain belt, jewelry, purse, Chanel's new temporary fashion tattoos and brooches refashioned as pasties.

For the actual clothing -- of which there is little -- she wears her own lingerie (black bras and panties with flapper fringe) as well as seductive pieces by Chantal Thomas, Rigby & Peller, Comme des Garçons and Dolce & Gabbana.
