Arnaud Maillard describes his ex-boss Karl Lagerfeld as a "genius", but that didn't stop him from writing a scathing tell-all book called "Merci Karl!". In the book, Arnaud - who won a wrongful termination lawsuit against Karl in 2005 - dishes about his former boss owing back taxes and being a diva, a narcissist, etc.
He's an unbelievable narcissist. He needs an eternity to get ready in the morning. He takes photos of himself at every photo shoot and puts them everywhere. He surrounds himself with a kind of royal court, nobody disagrees with him. Wherever he goes, there is Pepsi-Cola in a Baccarat crystal glass waiting for him and it gets replaced every 30 minutes. It's like the 18th century....It goes beyond that. He dumps people at the drop of a dime. Lagerfeld employees have to be available 24 hours a day. He can be very generous. When I was looking for my first apartment in Paris, he discreetly slipped me an envelope that made it possible to afford. But he can also be merciless. I've seen him simply stop talking to people, stop acknowledging their existence. In the fashion industry, nobody raises their voice; they say the worst things in a very polite tone."

I was just thinking when I saw his bag "Who's Karl?" that he was a narcissist and then I read it. He is a very bizarre creepy man.
