Karl Lagerfeld is back..!

Ok, he didn’t really disappear from the fashion radar as he is still after all the official mister Chanel (and Fendi). But he did, over the years, distanced himself from his own labels, so much that they both stopped all activity, Lagerfeld Gallery in 2006 and Karl Lagerfeld in 2010…

 

But this belong to the past as the Kaiser is now back with not one, not two, but three new lines!

The Karl Lagerfeld Paris being the most expensive collection, uses the finest trims and fabrics, leathers and furs. Lagerfeld is the everyday menswear line and Karl the everyday and affordable women line.

I had the opportunity to see his new collection last week at the Negri Firman studio while working  as their photographer for the event. And I have to say, the three collections are all very elegant, well cut, and functional.

 

Some might hate Mister Lagerfeld for his outspokenness, sometimes well offbeat and others on the contrary will love him for it. For my part, what I love about the man is his undeniable talent and ability to design for several brands while always renewing himself. And in my opinion it is a rare quality.

You see, it is already quite a task to create new collections over and over again but to design for two or more brands is an achievement in itself. Especially that you have to be capable of infusing your identity just enough for everyone to recognize your touch but not enough to smother the brand’s own identity…

 

Back to the clothes, what I loved the most in his new collections was his attention to the details and the fabrics. Ah yes, and those shoes…!

 

What about you? What do you think about his new collection?
