Because Karl Lagerfeld’s signature expression is wearing sunglasses, holding a fan in his hand, and dragging his white hair into long braids. As we all know, in ancient China only the Manchu people wore long braids. The Manchu leader was originally called "Manzhu", which translated means "Master X". In order to express Karl Lagerfeld's status in the fashion industry, Chinese people affectionately call him "Old Master".

In fact, in addition to the title of "Old Master X", he also has the title of "Caesar of the Fashion Industry". The origin of these titles is his advanced age and his unique leadership position in the fashion industry.

He speaks with a strong voice, looks cool and dotes on small animals. During his lifetime, he maintained a high-intensity job. It is said that he worked 16 hours a day, operating in a three-language environment.

Lagerfeld previously stated in an interview with the New York Times that although he likes to interact with people, he still likes to be alone in order to read and think. Throughout his life, starting from childhood, the only thing he thought about was "how to become unique". In the decades after his adulthood, he regarded "being different" as ambition, interest and even everything.
