Designer Karl Lagerfeld has no time for social media.
The Chanel boss, who has four iPhones, said he is not a fan of new gadgets and will not be joining Twitter anytime soon, reported Femalefirst.
"The world is distorted by these (iPhones). I have no time for it. The day is too short. I am not interested in looking for unknown friends. I know enough people already.
"I don't even go in the street anymore. Even in the middle of the night, there's somebody (outside my house). The people who come up to me are all very nice but at the same time it's a bore," he said.
Although Chanel has embraced celebrity culture, counting A-list stars Blake Lively, Alexa Chung and Keira Knightley as followers, the fashion designer is not keen to dwell on celebrity.
"I am tired of celebrities. Let's go back to unknown beauties. Celebrities and icons are overdone," he said.
