Karl Lagerfeld is tightening his belt, and no, it's not because he's on another diet.
It looks like good old Karl is a new recessionista! He's moved to a smaller home in Paris and according to Spiegel Online, his new vacation home is "not giant ... very Emily Dickinson ... In fact it's almost Puritanical. For me it's a new form of modesty."
Could it be that profligate spending is finally out?
Or that Karl simply doesn't "fancy having so much staff now" since you know, the economy's tanking and all that. I guess deep down, he's really one of us!
"The chambermaid, chauffeur and chef are still musts," he says, "around the clock."
Heh. Maybe not.
