Karl Lagerfeld, born in Hamburg in 1933, died in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 2019 and was above all an active fashion designer, designer, photographer and costume designer living in Paris,
Wikipedia summarizes his life briefly
.
In addition, he was considered very eccentric, also in his outward appearance. Which undoubtedly suited his profession well. It is also certain that he not only owned one or two iPods like “normal users”, but hundreds of them – and filled them with a wide variety of music, as Benedict Evans shared on Twitter, including a photo of the well-known iPods from Lagerfeld.
I vaguely remember reading that Karl Lagerfeld (🐐) had literally hundreds of iPods, all loaded with different music. Well, here they are. pic.twitter.com/qR8rBbdBzN

He had these in a wide variety of colors and stuck a sticker to the back of each one. Apparently, the respective performers for whom an iPod was reserved are written down there, such as Rihanna, David Bowie and other greats from the scene. With some, however, you can only decipher “KL” (as its abbreviation?) and numbers. He must have known what for. A user on the Twitter chat says that Lagerfeld probably didn’t know any playlists. And another calculates: “100 nanos are shown, without the shuffles that’s 1.6 TB, assuming the maximum capacity. A modern iPhone can store two-thirds of that.”
But it can be assumed that the fashion star didn’t bother with such calculations, preferring instead to choose a colour-coordinated iPod with his outfit and perhaps also with the right music for the evening or the occasion… Of course, you can’t know for sure. Another user there puts it in a nutshell: “You can’t equate fashion with practicality.” Karl Lagerfeld would probably have agreed with this sentence.
