Conchita Wurst Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for CR Fashion Book

Austrian singer and Eurovision Song Contest winner Conchita Wurst has been photographed by fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld for the new issue of CR Fashion Book.

Knowing how much that girl loves fashion, I would hazard a guess this was probably one of the highlights of her very exciting year.

Looking at the photos, however, fans may be in for a little surprise as the way Karl Lagerfeld photographed Conchita Wurst, she is looking a whole lot more like her alter ego Tom Neuwirth than the Conchita Wurst we all know and love.

Conchita was photographed by Lagerfeld in a variety of poses and clothes, with an interesting combination of both masculine and feminine styles, including suspenders and very masculine-style pants.

With Conchita’s strong features and, of course, the beard, however, that made these photographs very masculine in nature.

Personally, I am still not sure I am a huge fan of the Karl Lagerfeld Conchita Wurst photographs as, due to the limited amount of make-up she’s wearing, they are just a bit too masculine for my taste and more about Tom than Conchita.

Knowing Tom’s penchant for privacy, I have to admit that bothers me a little bit as well.

After all, right now she has a lot of privacy when not in full make-up, heels, dress and a wig.

However, I am thrilled for Conchita that she got an opportunity to meet someone I am sure she has just idolized for half of her life, and was able to do a fashion shoot that, if nothing else, is definitely getting a lot of people talking.
