Last season it was a country house in Vermont, and for spring 2010 Karl Lagerfeld is packing up his model crew-Claudia Schiffer, Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi-and headed to South America to shoot the next Chanel advertising campaign.

Lagerfeld told Women's Wear Daily he has never visited the continent before. "I'm not a tourist. I only go to places if I have a professional reason." Never wasting a moment, the industrious designer will also be working on a book about architecture in Argentina. [WWD]
