Portrayal in Fiction
In the Metalocalypse episode "Dethfashion", the clothing designer Eric Von Wiechlinghammer is an obvious parody of Karl Lagerfeld and his views on the appropriate look for models.
It has been widely speculated that a character from the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (named Hoity Toity) is based on Lagerfeld due to sharing a strong resemblance to him (white bouffant hairstyle, dark glasses, ascots and a fan shaped cutie mark) as well as his portrayal as a snobby fashion designer. Ironically enough, German artist Mari Kasurinen created a My Little Pony doll based on Lagerfeld's likeness

Famous quotes containing the words portrayal and/or fiction:
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
