Karl Lagerfeld Women

Visionary, enigmatic, iconic and always avant-garde, Karl Lagerfeld was more than just a clothes designer. He was an illustrator, photographer, stylist and editor at an epic scale who bequeathed to the world of fashion a massive creative legacy, including his eponymous brand. Today in the hands of two of the Kaiser's confidantes, stylist Hun Kim and previous editor-in-chief of French Vogue Carine Roitfeld, the brand's artistic direction perpetuates its iconic codes with ready-to-wear and accessories that are Parisian, pop and a bit rock, just like Karl himself. Sometimes initialled or adorned with playful images of the founder or his cat Choupette, the pieces are functional, impeccably made and affordable, too. Karl's spirit and his mantra, "embracing the present and inventing the future" fill the innovative, contemporary collections with perfect cuts and sleek lines, subtly evoking the slender, monochrome silhouette and of the man who held the reins of Chanel for three decades. Countless admirers of this singular style will find in these collections the ingredients for refining their style, rendering a much-deserved homage to this man who will forever remain totally unique.
