You would have no idea that Karl Lagerfeld lives on the historic Quai Voltaire in the heart of the romantic city of lights.  Completely modern and streamlined, Lagerfeld’s apartment is practically black and white, save for one room which acts as a shrine to his staggering collection of art books.  Lagerfeld says that he wanted to be surrounded by glass and transparency, because in his daily life he is constantly surrounded by color.

«Je voulais un appartement avec du verre et de la transparence partout … Ici, pas de couleur, car je suis entouré de couleur en permanence. Je préfère vivre dans un environnement neutre.»
