Karl Lagerfeld continued his American tour with a Friday-night stop at the Pace/MacGill Gallery in Manhattan to fête his new book, “Metamorphoses of an American.” Stephen Gan, Glenda Bailey, Amanda Harlech, and Olivier Zahm came to check out Lagerfeld’s documentation of model Brad Kroenig in a variety of iconic guises as well as several au naturel shots. We asked the Kaiser to reminisce on his hang-out time in Miami. “I had no time,” he said. “I did the Chanel show, then the big party afterwards. I had no time to go to even Wet Willie’s.” Bummer. With only three days in New York and two shoots scheduled, we can’t imagine he’s going to get much rest here, either. Especially with the crush of autograph seekers and camera phone snappers that greet him everywhere he goes. “It’s pretty much the same everywhere,” said Kroenig, Lagerfeld’s frequent travel partner. “But Tokyo is the most insane. There are actually Japanese girls crying.” Lagerfeld, however, can hardly tell the difference. “I can’t cross the street anywhere,” he said.
