The Panoptikum Museum in Hamburg, Germany unveiled a spot-on wax sculpture of Karl Lagerfeld. The wax museum, which is located in the designer’s hometown, released a statement along with the wax figure proclaiming that it took artist Saskia Ruth a year to create the figure.
People.com tweeted a picture of Karl along with his wax figure asking its readers, “Can you tell the real Karl Lagerfeld from his wax figure?” I definitely can’t. Can you?
Fashionista added, “Karl Lagerfeld has finally been immortalized—so long as he stays away from any open flames and/or direct sunlight.”
Fashionologie followed up with one of the most important questions to date, “Karl Lagerfeld has been honored with a wax sculpture. Will @ChoupettesDiary get one next?” One can only hope.
