Poor Karl Lagerfeld is sick of seeing himself depicted on t-shirts, in video games, and in the form of a Steiff teddy bear. After the Chanel show in Paris last week, he told reporters, "I'm suffering from an overdose of myself. At a certain point, you ask yourself, am I a puppet or not?" We think the answer to that question probably has something to do with the handbags he designed recently, which have his face printed on them. [The Canadian Press, Fabsugar]
