Karl Lagerfeld, Parisian
Lagerfeld is shown here in the bookshop he owns on Paris's Left Bank. Although born in Germany, he has lived in Paris since he was a teenager. He is renowned for hosting soirees at his sumptuous Left Bank town house, filled with an ever-changing assortment of books, art, and antiques -- all of which he collects passionately. "I am an intellectual opportunist," he says. "What I like most is change."
