      Lagerfeld Talks Fashion and Religion in New Documentary: An upcoming German documentary -- to be released on September 7th -- makes comparisons between fashion and religion: think glossies vs. the Bible, runway models vs. angels, and avid shoppers vs. religious followers. To support their theory of fashion being similar to religion, the film taps “fashion missionary” (as he refers to himself in the movie) Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld expresses his views on many related fashion-meets-religion topics, including the popes. “The only pope I thought was chic was Pius XII. Even though he may not be remembered for his popularity, I thought he was elegant. And Pope John XXIII was the most charismatic; you can keep all the others,” he said. [WWD]
