The signature dark glasses, collared white shirts, grey haired ponytail hair and fingerless leather gloves... a look... that defined Karl LagerfeldFashion for him was more than a passion. It was a reason to exist. upsot:if we could go back that by a few millimeters.It was his meticulous attention to detail and precision earnt him the status of the "Kaiser of fashion"He was born in Hamburg in the 1930s but the exact date of his birth remains a mystery. In 1952 Karl Lagerfeld moved to Paris.He proved himself in the fashio n houses of Bal main, Jean Patou and Chloe, before joining Fendi in 1965 - where he remained artistic director.But it was at Chanel that Karl Lagerfeld truly came into his own...In 1983, he took over as the head of the fashion house and revivied the brand.Soon enough the two intertwined C's became affiliated with luxury.He designed the perfect cut for his tweed jackets and the classic little black dress...combining the masculine with the feminine with his monochrome palete.And with that Chanel was reborn.
But that didnt leave Karl Lagerfeld resting on his laurels...
In 2004, he became the first high profile fashion designer to collaborate on a collection with H&M.He puts his photographic skills to use and exhibited his work in 2011.SOT KL for Fr24:If I were only in fashion, I would risk isolating myself. which is the worst thing for creativity.By doing photography, even fashion photography and advertising,, which I love, I stay within the movement of fashion, people of fashion and my bubble is not the only thing that I see.Karl Lagerfeld launched his own brand, created perfumes, stood out as an interior designer and even opened his own bookstore in Paris.SOT KL:I wear dark glasses to see better. Observation is more precise, and you can't tell if I'm looking left or right. I want to know everything... if I wasn't like this I wouldn't own 300,000 books and I wouldn't be obsessed with the desire to know everything. I'm completely obsessed with this.It was an obsession that stayed with him till the end.Loved or loathed, Karl Lagerfeld has left an indelible mark on the history of fashion.

The best thing about Karl Lagerfeld is that he never designed anything that couldn't be worn. His perennial consistency and astute attention to classic details made his eclectic aesthetics the paragon of designer fashion—he will never be matched.

As much as i love 💓 his work, much as i hate him for being a pro fur designer . He is an indirect killer to enormous rabbits, wolves, foxes, and boa snakes, chanel and fendi under him killed enormous animals for skin and a 3 sec showoff that we see on runway.
