Lindsay Lohan wore fingerless gloves to match with Karl Lagerfeld. Karl Lagerfeld was always spotted wearing such gloves. What was the reason?
In a book, “The Beautiful Fall,” by Alicia Drake revealed the reason behind.
“He was self-conscious about the length of his arms and legs, but it was his hands that were the cause of greatest chagrin. He had been made to hate his hands by his mother, who had told Karl ever since he was a boy that she disliked them."
"Karl’s cousin, Kurt Lagerfeld remembers that she used to call them ‘farmer’s hands’ or worse, ‘peasant’s hands.’ They were, in fact, Lagerfeld hands, like those of his father, strong with thick fingers. But his mother’s criticism marked Karl and his hands became a source of considerable anguish.”
