Karl Lagerfeld is looking extra-Vampiric on Christopher Lee Suave's Karl t-shirt.
Uncle Karl, as he has been affectionately dubbed by the Internet, resembles a mythical vampire even on his best days. With chalky, pale skin, white hair and a grim expression (which is always partially hidden by large black sunglasses), Lagerfeld looks like he wouldn't mind quenching his thirst with the B-positive coursing through your veins.
The T-shirt Karl is even more vampy-looking, with bright red lips that look blood-stained. His skin is as white as the 100% cotton jersey it's printed on, making him appear even more ghostly than usual. Fashion lovers will definitely get a kick out of wearing this Karl t-shirt for Halloween.
