Karl Lagerfeld Steiff Teddy


Must. have. it.
Here's what the website has to say about their new teddy bear:
NEW! Karl Lagerfeld now has a double. The resemblance is absolutely remarkable. Glamour and star appeal: simply fascinating. The incredibly lovable "alter ego" of the world-famous fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld, was born with the Karl Lagerfeld Teddy bear by Steiff. Today, the multi-talented designer is already a living legend. And the Lagerfeld Teddy bear is on its way to baffle the international fashion scene with its outstanding appearance and to inspire all the fans of Steiff and Karl Lagerfeld with its charisma. The Fashion Designer Lagerfeld himself was also enthused when he first heard about the idea to collaborate with the Steiff company to create an original Steiff Karl Lagerfeld Teddy bear. With a healthy dose of humour, a tongue-in-cheek attitude and a dash of curiosity, the master created his bearish likeness with lots of loving attention to detail. The clothing and accessories typical for Lagerfeld are of course an absolute “must” for the Teddy bear as well. The bear made of the finest white alpaca is wearing a white poplin dress shirt with a stand-up collar as well as the characteristic Lagerfeld jeans with patina that give it both an elegant as well as extravagant appearance. The design and patterns for the elegant jacket made of Italian wool originate from the masters studio in Paris. The Teddy bear’s poised, designer appearance is completed by the classic Lagerfeld accessories: a black silk tie with Swarovski crystal, a sophisticated leather belt with the crystal-studded initials “KL” as well as the ever-present trademark of the maestro – the miniature black designer sunglasses from the “Karl Lagerfeld Eyewear” collection. Therefore, the Lagerfeld Teddy bear is not only incredibly sophisticated – is it above all: tres chic, sympathique – tres Lagerfeld. From head to toe. With every fibre of its fur. The Karl Lagerfeld Teddy Bear is a Limited Edition of 2,500 pieces worldwide and bears a white-gold plated “Button in Ear” as a symbol of its exclusiveness.
Oh, and by the way, that fucker is $1500!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I'm going to have to buy my own white teddy and dress him up in whatever I can find in black and pretend it's a Steiff.
btw, who the hell buys a teddy for $1500? who can afford it? I guess the people that can afford his designs for Chanel, ie; not me.
