The man
Behind the dark sunglasses, polished suit and flawless hair –– behind the international fashion icon –– Karl Lagerfeld was an incredible human. He was a force of nature, coupled with an enigmatic persona and an original perspective on fashion and pop culture.
His visionary talent further expanded beyond fashion to include illustration, photography, styling
and publishing.
IKONIK STYLE
It’s impossible to think about Karl Lagerfeld without envisioning his signature style: sleek leather gloves, mysterious dark sunglasses and, above all, a tailored white shirt.
THE REAL KARL
Extraordinarily perceptive. Brilliantly well-read.
A dazzling storyteller. And as a surprise to
many, he had a biting sense of humor. While the public perception of him was a carefully
curated image, there was much more to Karl than what meets the eye.
EMBRACE THE PRESENT AND INVENT THE FUTURE
Design was the foundation of Karl’s life; for him, expressing his inexhaustible creativity was an intrinsic need. This was fueled by an unrelenting mind and boundless sources of inspiration, from people and places to art and pop culture.
KARL & CHOUPETTE
It’s hard to believe that Karl’s love for cats didn’t come until later in his life — and in fact, it was just one feline who won his heart. Karl was originally asked to take care of Choupette for a week, but come Monday he insisted she never leave. “It was love at first sight,” Karl recalled.
