Ludwig wasn’t the most regal of people,and his taste in clothing ran to tacky, but when you have that much money, nobody will tell you that you look like a dork. (It’s also why Bill Gates dressed like a nerd his whole life).

In a kingdom of fine fabrics, fringed/ rules a monarch with madness tinged/ a vile little vermin/ who is swaddled in ermine/ and an ego who’s clearly unhinged.

It’s the new battlefield look from that fresh new talent, Karl Lagerfeld. What do you mean the men won’t follow me into battle looking like this? I never intended to go in the first place, darling!
