Karl Lagerfeld is coming to America! According to WWD, he just purchased a historic, 1840s six-bedroom mansion on an island in Vermont's rustic Lake Champlain. "I love it. It's very much Emily Dickinson," Lagerfeld said at a Chanel show in Paris. The landscape reminds him of his home turf in northern Europe. Lagerfeld plans to decorate the place like a Vilhelm Hammershoi painting -- hello HGTV makeover!

Perhaps once Lagerfeld gets a taste of the simple luxe life, maple syrup will be Chanel's next scent!
