Karl Lagerfeld Has Never Been To A Supermarket

True or False: Karl Lagerfeld has never been to the supermarket before.

Shake your head and roll your eyes, but apparently it's true: the Chanel designer and King of All Things Fabulous has not deigned to push a metal shopping cart under harsh fluorescent lights in search of a good 2-for-1 deal in, well, ever.

The Kaiser revealed this and more in an interview in the upcoming issue of French Elle, previewed in Women's Wear Daily today. In the upcoming issue, he walks the junk food-filled aisles with wonder and tells the magazine:

"It’s the first time I’ve stepped into a supermarket. It’s crazy -- fascinating what one can buy. There’s enough here to easily gain 20 kilos."

Don't we know it. Karl also hasn't driven a car since he was 18; as he is now 78, Lagerfeld has employed a driver for a full 60 years.

And that wraps up this edition of The Fabulous Life Of Karl Lagerfeld. Tune in next time, when we may or may not discuss the Kaiser's gold-plated iPad and his refusal to eat anything that's not from Nobu.

Yikes! He does look embalmed. Perhaps too much surgery too early in his life?

He actually looks more like a university bursar. Yicky.

One of my simple pleasures in life is driving. I've always enjoyed it from the time I first got my learner's permit.

Manual transmission only, of course. Motorcycling as well.

I know that many men of privileged means have enjoyed driving - Lagerfeld's predilections lay elsewhere, as it were.

He probably spends all his time eating figs in his psychiatrist's office...

So out of touch. I just read an article about him where he talked about his average day. He sleeps in a white linen nightgown that he has pressed before he wears it. To bed. To sleep.

He was born into a rich family so it's not surprising that he's never done any grocery shopping.

Yeah, but..... he never passed by a plastic surgeon without going in.

I'm getting strong vibes for a (un)reality show.
