I don’t know why but this seems so old school and awesome. I love that the fashion industry (a moment like this at least) is almost parody of itself. So Conchita Wurst, LGBT icon and Europop sensation is the new Andre J. First she walked in and closed the Jean Paul Gaultier couture show and now Karl Lagerfeld has just shot her for CR Fashion Book.
According to CR, “Her music and “drag-to-riches” story have captured many, which is why she—along with pregnant model Ashleigh Good—were chosen to represent the emerging fashion icons of today.” According to Karl Lagerfeld, Conchita “gives new meaning to the term drag” and for his most recent couture show, Ashleigh Good walked the runway, with child, in bridal couture.
