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)
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
