We long ago gave up trying to figure out Karl Lagerfeld. He is just too damn weird. And considering that The Corsair has an Aquarius ascendant, that's saying something. But even for a freak like me Lagerfeld takes the space-cake. That whole "I-Wear-My-Sunglasses-At-Night" thingie. Those fingerless gloves. That manorexia. The eccentric diet of horsemeat -- "le chevaux" -- tomatoes, and Diet Coke (Eew).

And now, apparently, he is going to recreate his eighteenth century 31 Rue Cambon headquarters for his Paris Fashion Week Show. Or something. Don't even ask us how that works on the runway. It's his vision. And we just don't understand. Fashion, see. From Fashionweekdaily:

"There is not a more classic sighting in Paris during Fashion Week than seeing Karl Lagerfeld departing The Ritz after being accompanied to the entrance by Anna Wintour. Though the Vogue editrix seemingly had dinner with Stefano Pilati earlier in the week, tonight was for Karl and carrying on a lavish tradition. Every season, the two dine at Michel Roth's famed L'Espadon inside the hotel, and this year's meal ended around 10:15 p.m.

"The Daily was lucky enough to exit our own engagement at the Ritz at the very same time, so we caught up with the velvet suit-wearing designer, while Sebastian Jondeau waited with a car. 'You know, I've never felt more wonderful,' Lagerfeld smiled as his longtime muse Amanda Harlech looked on. 'I just feel calmer about things' ... So Karl... what's the top-secret centerpiece of the show this year? ... After going back and forth with Harlech on whether he wanted to divulge on the details, Lagerfeld decided to confide in us with a smile. 'It will be truly magnificent. It's a massive 35-foot recreation of our famous 31 Rue Cambon. Wait 'til you see it. It will be absolutely epic!'"

Or absolutely weird, Mr. Ambassador from the Crab Nebulae. How will the models navigate that thusness?
