Karl Lagerfeld’s Daily Routine

It is apparent that Karl Lagerfeld’s lifestyle is one that cannot be compared to ours, but until now, I don’t think anyone ever realized just how outrageous it was. And by outrageous, I mean it is absolutely fantastic. It is comical to say the least, but it is Karl Lagerfeld and he can do whatever he wants.

Seeing Karl grocery shopping or behind the wheel of a car was out of the ordinary for him as captured in the photographs of the recent issue of French Elle, but it makes you wonder…if he is not doing these things, what exactly is he doing? Harper’s Bazaar decided to highlight aspects of  his daily routine in their “My List” feature detailing his habits on choice of beverage, sleeping, how he works, and much more.

On his bath products:

When I’m ready, I soak in the bathtub, if you really want to know. I used to have a product I loved, by Shu Uemura, but they don’t make it anymore, so I found a French product that softens the water; it’s a hundred years old. I put half a bottle in the bathtub.

Karl Lagerfeld Is Not Like Us

If Karl Lagerfeld were right next to you in the cleaning products aisle, what would you do? What would you say? Would you ask him why he had two models with him? Probably not, wanna know why? Because Karl Lagerfeld can do whatever he wants. So when I tell you next that this staged photo shoot was the first time that Karl has ever stepped into a super market, you probably shouldn’t be too surprised. I mean, when has he ever had a reason to shop for his own groceries, really? When you’re eating like Karl every night, you probably would find yourself in a similar situation.

This photo along with several other photos are featured in a new piece for French Elle showcasing Karl Lagerfeld in a way like you’ve “never seen him before.” Basically he’s photographed in scenarios that would never happen to him in real life such as the grocery shopping or behind the wheel of a car. The fashion designer hasn’t driven a car since he was 18.

“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.”
