Lagerfeld<\/strong><\/em>, it is the story of the giant that was incarning french fashion. There is good designers, really good designers and Karl Lagerfeld<\/strong><\/em>. He is a timeless fashion and has a very well defined vision of how women should be and should be weared.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

LAGERFELD, The beggining.<\/h1>\n

Karl Lagerfeld<\/strong><\/em> is born next to the Elbe river in Germany and grew up in a splendid house 40 km far from Hamburg. In 1954, aged 21, and recently installed in Paris, he takes part of the\u00a0Secr\u00e9tariat international de la laine contest and win the first price in the coat category. His piece is made of yellow wool with a big decollete in the back part and had a je ne sais quoi\u00a0<\/em> of scandalous for the time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spotted by Monsieur Balmain of whom he become the personnal assistant, he takes the artistic direction of Jean Patou in 1959, aged 26. In the following years, between 1964 and 1983, he is creating ready to wear clothes for Chlo\u00e9 with a boheme and romantic style aligned with the free spirit of the 70\u2019s. Luxury, yes, but in a comfortable way.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1965, he joins the famous italian fur house FENDI. For it, he even draws the logo on a table corner, two \u201cF\u201d for \u201cFun Fur\u201d. In tribute of his 50 years of work in the famous house, he organises the scandalous fashion show\u00a0 \u201cHaute Fourrure\u201d in 2015. Composed of 30 different looks, this show was exibiting a coat made of the extremely rare sable fur and valued\u00a0$1 million according to the Financial Time.<\/p>\n

LAGERFELD at Chanel.<\/h1>\n

Chanel history is universaly known. Chanel is the ancestral house created in 1910 by Mademoiselle Coco to give women their freedom. The identification codes of the famous brand are innumerable, the boater, the camellia, the node, the quilted bag and obviously the initial \u201cCC\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In short, it is an incredibly wealthy and prestigious house that Lagerfeld<\/em> <\/strong>take back in 1983 ! However Chanel is , at that time somehow unfashionned and he needs to give it a second youth to be a reference in couture again. Lagerfeld<\/strong> <\/em>will lead this project with talent, mainly thanks his collaboration with the model In\u00e8s de la Fressange who will be the first model in history to obtain an exclusivity contract with a couture house. The 2 of them re invent Chanel, and make of it one of the trendiest fashion house. Lagerfeld<\/strong> <\/em>see fashion at 360\u00ba. He is drawing hundreds of collections, shoot the press releases and imagine the show decors, he litteraly incarn the brand, he becomes the brand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, every CHANEL fashion show had been an event, haute couture collections of course, but ready to wear also, cruise collections, or art works collections. It is with an incredible rythm that Lagerfeld<\/em> <\/strong>create and impose his vision of french fashion to the world.<\/p>\n

LAGERFELD \u2026 in person.<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We know him for his impetuous quotes, for his visceral hate of conventionnal, Lagerfeld<\/strong> <\/em>express really well his point of view about women, about fashion, about style, about everything ! The character is fully cosmopolitan, from German birth, living in Paris, but always mooving between Roma and New-York, he speaks 4 languages and says \u201cFendi is my italian ID, Chanel is the French one\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lagerfeld<\/em><\/strong> is multi tasking person, he is capable of printing his\u00a0silhouette\u00a0 on a bottle of Coca-Cola Light or even to strick the pose for the road security with a yellow jacket. With an amazing humour, he was telling us without any complex :<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants to see round women on podiums\u201d<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like animal massacre, but I don\u2019t like either human\u00a0massacre and visibly, it is quite popular around the world\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate to have intellectual conversation, only my own opinion interest me\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Monsieur<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lagerfeld<\/strong> <\/em>is also a great art fan. He is making the full design of a flat of Monte Carlo with the brand Memphis. He is also practicing photography since 1987, thanks to a studio on the back of his library, 7 rue de Lille. Finally he is a great admirator of the artist Szekely from whom he bought a lot of pieces.<\/p>\n

Karl Lagerfeld<\/b> is the story os half a century of fashion and he will never really leave us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am living my memories, I don\u2019t need to write them\u201d<\/p>\n
