The Press

Yesterday I received in the mail, via a series of tubes and butlers, a copy of "Elle Collections" magazine, in which an article by myself is featured (along with an article by the wonderful Robin Givhan, et al). The article in question is my 10 commandments of style. I thought delivering the 10 commandments on a mountain was a bit inefficient- a bit old fashioned, really. Who really gathers around mountains these days, hm? And stone tablets- frankly, it's not very modern. So I thought delivering my commandments via a magazine would be more accessible to the public, more in the now.

A few of you may be thinking- "hang on Karl, wouldn't it be more modern to tweet it?"

To this I argue that tweets are disposable, 140 character objects of frivolity. They're fine for talking about Alpacas and the like, but a set of commandments needs to someone one can hold, can lick, can feel. So the magazine format suited me perfectly for deploying the basis of the religion of fashion. I feel a little late in doing this- fashion's already been around for a thousand years or more- but it's really no different to certain designers starting their shows late, hm?

Anyway, you should all ring the bell for your butler to go an obtain a copy for you of this magazine. Otherwise you could be sinning and you won't even know it!

Felix Hoenikker: What is sin?

Karl: I don't know either, Felix. But human beings seem to require it.
