Karl Lagerfeld
The Kaiser of the Fashion Galaxy
Black is not a color. It’s an attitude.
Fashion is not about fabric. It’s about posture, presence, provocation. I arrived at Chanel when it was a sleeping legacy and woke it with a whip of modernity. Fendi taught me extravagance. Chloe gave me romance. But I answer to no house—I answer to beauty, reinvented. I live in books, in art, in the future. Choupette understands me better than most.
What I'm Into: tweed reimagined, Choupette’s latest tantrum, 18th-century France, futuristic ateliers, my white ponytail
