Designer apologises for calling singer ‘too fat’

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has apologised for calling Adele “too fat” and claims he is the singer’s biggest fan.

Lagerfeld, head of the fashion house of Chanel, said this week that although Adele had a “divine voice”, she was “a little too fat”. After coming under fire for his comments, the designer has clarified his remarks in an interview with Metro New York and insisted they were taken out of context.

“I’d like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer,” he said. “Sometimes when you take a sentence out of the article it changes the meaning of the thought.”
