SICK OF LAGERFELD?

So is he...

Karl Lagerfeld is so overexposed, he's getting sick of himself.

The German designer, who presented his ready-to-wear collection for Chanel last Friday, also designs for Fendi and his own Karl Lagerfeld line.

With his trademark white ponytail and dark glasses, the pop culture icon is the subject of an umpteenth documentary, that showed on French television on Sunday, and he was even featured in the latest installment of the video game Grand Theft Auto.

"I'm suffering from an overdose of myself," Lagerfeld told reporters after the show. "At a certain point, you ask yourself, am I a puppet or not?"

To paraphrase Shakespeare, the gentleman doth protest too much.

Friday's show was worthy of a Hollywood production, with models parading across a film set reproducing Chanel's headquarters in the exclusive rue Cambon--five-storey facade, pavement and all.
