There is a simple answer to this question. Why would someone travel with fourteen pieces of luggage? Because they can. “They” in this instance is Karl Lagerfeld, the head of Chanel. The funny part about him traveling with this many pieces of luggage is the fact that this 76-year-old fashion designer is known for his daily uniform of a white shirt, black tie, blazer, jeans or trousers. What in the world can possibly be packed in that many bags? Maybe he changes five times a day? That doesn’t seem right. Shoes? Who knows.
Lagerfeld rarely deviates from his monochrome look. If anything, he accessorizes. Fingerless leather gloves, sunglasses, black stacked heels. As reported by the UK Daily Mail, in 2007 and 2008, Lagerfeld could be seen virtually wearing the same outfit, save for a change in jewelry.
The head honcho of Chanel was seen leaving his New York hotel with stacks upon stacks of luggage. He was in the States working on shooting an advert for the couture house’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 collection.
Despite rumors, Chanel said they have no plans to replace their long-standing head designer. A spokesperson for Chanel said: ‘KL is Chanel’s creative director and has a long-term contract that is by no means reassessed. ‘His succession is not on the agenda.’
