The man is everywhere -- the runway, bookshelves, even hotels, and now...your CD player. Apparently, Karl Lagerfeld has an obsession with music and "is almost as well-known" for it as he is for fashion and style. According to Style.com, the designer owns "upwards of 70 iPods and needs every gigabyte to hold his collection of over 60,000 CDs." That is a lot of music.

Now Lagerfeld is playing DJ, putting together his favorite tracks on a two-disc CD set called Karl Lagerfeld: Les Musiques Que J'aime. One CD is a mellower "at home" mix, and the second CD is a "fashion show" mix. The CD set is not yet available in the US, but until it makes it way here in November, you can order the CDs through amazon.fr.

Not that he's any sort of litmus test for normalcy, but Karl Lagerfeld seems to think that the hoopla about skinny models is full of bunk. Citing the existence of something he calls "skinny bones", Lagerfeld suggested that the models who did not pass the BMI test in Madrid were not necessarily unhealthy, even if the UN says they are. Skinny bones, eh? Never heard of that one before.

But then again, there is a lot of stuff that Karl Lagerfeld does that I've never heard of before. For instance, he "vampires". (What is "vampiring" you ask? Well, it's feeding off the creative energy of others.) And don't even get me started on the Karl Lagerfeld diet! Composed largely of things like drinking Diet Coke and moving as little as possible lest he get hungry, Lagerfeld is not exactly the picture of good health, even if he did manage to lose 93 pounds.
