Karl Lagerfeld in Vermont for Chanel Campaign!

Not so long ago, Karl Lagerfeld bought a six-bedroom landmark building on the island of Lake Champlain, Vermont. The designer is there now getting ready to shoot the new Chanel campaign at his place. He was caught by reporters on his front porch with his favorite male model, the hot Brad Kroenig, pictured below. The restaurant that was hired to cater the Chanel shoot said that, “the designer was kind and gracious.” Reportedly, the neighbors are quite excited as well in this small town with one of them, Loomis Bean saying, “We’re not duck hunting or fishing — this is exciting!” Lagerfeld was drown to the property for its trees and views and reminded him of Northern Europe, from where he is originally. Knowing his great artistic talent, we cannot wait to see the photo shoot!

Karl Lagerfeld Buys a Home in Vermont

The famous designer, Karl Lagerfeld has bought a six bedroom “landmark building” on an island in Lake Champlain, Vermont which dates back to 1840. “I love it. It’s very much Emily Dickinson,” Karl said backstage at the Chanel fashion show in Paris to WWD, adding that the home reminds him of Northern Europe from where he is originally from as Karl was born in Hamburg, Germany. The great designer also said that he “will start doing the Chanel campaigns there.” Lagerfeld is already planning the perfect fashion decor and we can only imagine what it would look like.

Lake Champlain is a beautiful lake containing about 80 islands. On one of the islands, Isle La Motte, one can find the oldest reef in the world, The Chazy Reef. The lake was actually named after the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who found it in 1609. So, while Lagerfeld may seem as he is turning to America, he is not as far away from France as many might think.
