Americans have to deal with Donald Trump, says Karl Lagerfeld

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld says people of the US have elected Donald Trump and now they should learn to deal with him.

"I knew Trump before, when he was not in politics. I'm not American, but he's a democratically elected president of America, so people have to deal with it," the 83-year-old designer said.

German-born Lagerfeld added that he does not believe the worlds of fashion and politics need to mix the way they often do these days, reported Us magazine.

"Fashion people are fashion, they are not politics," he said.

The iconic designer gave German Chancellor Angela Merkel as an example, saying, "Maybe her clothes are horrible, but she is not in fashion, hmm?"

"I loved Michelle Obama, but she doesn't want to (run for office). Mrs. Trump is a very nice woman and pretty handsome.

Good body, no? And this Ivanka is quite cute, no?" he added.

Melania Trump made her first official White House appearance in a white cashmere Karl Lagerfeld pencil skirt and matching jacket.
