Karl Lagerfeld is Now Designing VIP Helicopters, Too

If they ever make a sequel to I Don’t Know How She Does It, I suggest they base it on Karl Lagerfeld’s life and call it I Don’t Know How He Does It—because really, I don’t. In addition to his duties with Chanel, Fendi, and his diffusion line Karl, and his stints editing Metro and making wine, he just announced his latest project: designing VIP helicopters. Does the guy ever sleep?!

The Anglo-Italian company AgustaWestland has hired the Kaiser to revamp their AW139 twin-turbine helicopters, according to the Daily Mail. He’ll be designing both the interiors and exteriors of the 15-passenger choppers, adding a bit of exclusivity to a mode of transportation that is admittedly already pretty elite. In a lot of ways, it’s a match made in heaven—or at least, made in the sky; we’re pretty certain that Lagerfeld is quite familiar with private travel, plus the fact that this particular model is described as having an “ample baggage compartment” seems perfect for the fashion icon.

This is just an outfit from Lagerfeld's newly launched Karl line...but could it one day be what flight attendants on his helicopters wear?

There is still one thing you’ll never catch him doing: flying the helicopter. According to the Daily Mail, Lagerfeld admitted to being less than accomplished behind the wheel. As he put it, “I haven’t driven since I was 18, and that’s a benefit to society because I ended up in a ditch, without knowing why!”

What would you want a Karl Lagerfeld-designed helicopter to look like? And what has Kaiser Karl not designed or collaborated on yet that you’d like to see? Let’s hear it in the comments!
