The Red Army Faction considered kidnapped designer Karl Lagerfeld during the 1970's. The Red Army Faction (RAF) is described as "one of post war West Germany's most active and prominent left wing groups". RAF targeted Lagerfeld due to his family's wealth and prominent fashion industry standing.

During the 1970's, Lagerfeld was associating with Anna Piaggi, and designing for Pierre Balmain and Jean Patou. It wasn't until 1982 that Karl moved to Chanel. RAF is suspected of killing over 30 people in the 1970's, and while Lagerfeld wasn't the groups only fashion target, sources failed to reveal why the plan never went into action.

Among Lagerfeld's latest projects is K Karl Lagerfeld, a collection of jeans and tees available in July 2007.

One of four pairs of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard Of Oz have been stolen! Apparently, the sequined heels have been missing since mid 2005, and no thief has yet to be apprehended. The shoes, while insured for $1 million, were valued only at $666,000 based on the last known sale of a pair in 2000. Snarky media doctrinaires, Gawker, had to weigh in on the subject. Who do they think is behind the heist? The gays.

"There are people all over the country obsessed with these slippers, an underground world more than I ever imagined," said police officer Gene Bennet. In fact, there are people so obsessed, they've formed the Ruby Slippers Fan Club.

Oh dear. This seems like it's getting out of hand. Why not just buy a pair of knock offs and get over it? Three clicks isn't going to bring the slippers (or the thief) home this time!
