Karl Lagerfeld tucked his multiple necks into one of his high-collared shirts and trotted up to the Elysée Palace to receive a Commander of the Legion of Honour award from President Sarkozy last week.

"I am much better at making small talk than at giving speeches" explained a stunned Karl, "If it wasn’t for 99 percent of the people in this room, it would all amount to nothing. So in fact, this is for me but it is also for all of you."

Fittingly, Kaiser Karl's award was a one-off bespoke creation made-to-order by the French Mint and Chanel. The pink gold medal is encrusted with diamonds and white quartz stones. Following the ceremony where Sarkozy praised his dedicated work ethic, everyone indulged in a piss-up garden party, where Karl no doubt let down his ponytail and shook his bony ass alongside Carla Bruni. Go Karl!
