In one big final flourish, Jack Mackenroth serves up a celeb-filled photo album of Fall Fashion Week 09 — with a certain towering fashion icon!

If you have been following my blog entries for the past week or so you know that I have been lurking around the tents at Bryant Park watching as many fashion shows at my sleep-deprived brain could handle. What I forgot to mention is that throughout the entire week I have been sneaking a plus one into all of the shows with me. He is a fashion powerhouse and very slim due to his amazing diet techniques so he slips right into my pocket. His name is Karl Lagerfelt. Not to be confused with the real Karl Lagerfeld.

I wish I could lie and take credit for making this absolutely genius creation but the credit goes to a woman named Melanie Howard who hand sews each and every little Karl herself. She also makes a Marc Jacobs and a Vivienne Westwood but Karl is the fiercest. Everyone who met him during fashion week instantly knew who he was supposed to be.

After the jump, Karl poses with celebs galore! TIM GUNN! NINA GARCIA! SEAN LENNON! HOT MODELS! “30 ROCK” STARS!

Now before I delve into our adventures I want to clarify that this is in NO WAY meant to be slanderous toward the real Mr. Lagerfeld. I ADORE him and I think he is an amazing, eccentric artistic genius. That being said, the felt Karl can be a snarky little middle finger puppet from time to time.

So while I was covering the shows and interviewing designers I was also approaching celebs, designers and models and asking them to participate in my pocket Lagerfelt photo essay. I was shameless about asking anyone I could get close to, and, with the exception of Marc Jacobs, everyone thought the idea and the puppet were hilarious and graciously agreed. I wonder if Marc would have posed with his own facsimile? Maybe next season.

I probably should have told some of the PR firms putting on the shows that I was coming with such a VIP. Then maybe I wouldn’t have been completely denied tickets to Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, Nanette Lepore, Anna Sui, J.Mendel, Miss Sixty, Zac Posen, and everyone even closely associated with the PR firm People’s Revolution-DVF, Alexandre Herchcovich, Nicholas K and Chado Ralph Rucci. ALL DENIED. Did that come out bitter?

Anyway Karl had a front row seat at every show, but he has no legs so unless I could get a ticket as well he skipped them altogether. Regardless of his superstar status he definitely needs a front row seat because seeing over anyone is out of the question due to his diminutive stature.

All in all we had a great week. Karl got lots of kisses from girls and boys and had more fingers up his hind quarters than I care to recount. Luckily I also carried a tiny Purell pump along with me. That put him in a good mood which was nice because he was a bit snippy since he was missing his fan. I tried to point out to him that he had no hands with which to hold a tiny fan but he ignored me. He did fallen asleep during a few of the shows, but I think that’s due to the fact that he only ate 3 cubes of cheese during the entire week. The following photos are some of the amazing people at fashion week that played with pint sized Karly. I thank everyone for being such a good sport.

Karl is inappropriate with Mad Men’s Alison Brie. He was cold.
