Karl: The New Yorker
By Miles Socha

PARIS — Despite all the laundries that dot the streets of Manhattan, none is quite good enough for Karl Lagerfeld's beloved wardrobe of Hilditch & Key shirts.
"Starched collars are not really done well there," the designer laments, blaming that shortcoming for his tendency to overpack for trips like this week's New York jaunt to close fashion week with his hotly anticipated show.
"My problem is being overweight, not in myself — in my luggage," he quips in his dizzying, mile-a-minute manner. "I'm always bringing too many books and papers, cameras and music machines and tons of clothes because I never like to wear the same thing twice ... My life is a trunk show" (of the Goyard variety).
Otherwise, New York suits the slim designer to a T. "I feel very much at home in New York," he says in an interview about the latest fashion capital he's conquering, after Paris with Chanel and Milan with Fendi. "New York is a city where I like to go out every night, something I don't do in Paris."
