Karl Lagerfeld shows a keen sense of current affairs here, referring to a tax on high incomes announced by François Hollande during the 2012 presidential election.
The Socialist presidential candidate had relaunched his campaign by promising a ‘tax rate’ of 75% on income in excess of €1 million a year.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) denounced a measure that would seal ‘the death of French football’.
