Why do we have to have people like Leonor Scherrer<\/strong><\/a>? The daughter of French designer Jean-Louis Scherrer, she is the ultimate spoiled, entitled ultra-hipster who favors a dykey Goth look and has started a company called Leonor Funeral Couture to provide “fashion for the bereaved.”<\/p>\n

“Her line even comes complete with its own fragrance, Maximilia, named after Maximilian Kolbe, the Polish friar who took the place of a condemned man at Auschwitz.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

But wait! She’s also recording an album that includes a cover of Schubert\u2019s \u201cDeath and The Maiden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Get it? She loves death! Death is so cool!<\/p>\n

Riccardo Tisci<\/strong> adores her and so does Diane Pernet<\/strong>. In an interview with Diane, Leonor says, “I had no idea death was such a taboo.<\/strong>”\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe on her planet, they\u00a0\u00a0 have different taboos. How can one expect such a person to know what we proles are like?<\/p>\n

But aside from her breathtaking level of pretentiousness, she also offers the discerning enthusiast the kind of self-aggrandizing clulessness that results in a confession like this one:<\/p>\n

“I lost a close friend recently and the grieving process takes a long time. I think of him every time I see someone on the street looking like him. In fact, I\u2019ve still got his number on my phone and haven\u2019t been able to delete it yet.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Her friend died recently but she hasn’t deleted his phone number yet?!? The woman is a fucking saint.<\/p>\n

Actually, no. In fact, the first thing I thought upon reading about her was, Wow. What a fucking cunt\u00a0! Why doesn’t she have anything better to do than market an ironic appreciation of death?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
