Life of Karl Lagerfeld & his Collection.

2. Introduction
• Karl Lagerfeld (born Karl Otto Lagerfeldt) on 10
September 1933 in Hamburg) is a German fashion designer,
artist and photographer based in Paris.
• He has collaborated on a variety of fashion and art related
projects, most notably as head designer and creative
director for the fashion house Chanel. Lagerfeld has his own
label fashion house, as well as the Italian house Fendi.
• At the age of 22, Lagerfeld was awarded

International Wool Secretaria.

Karl's signature designs are hidden in
every detail that makes instant
recognition possible and his favorite
pieces are always the ones from the
next collection, which is also his
ultimate goal. When asked to describe
his own work, the designer quoted
Voltaire's line:
Everything that needs an
explanation is not worth it.

7. International Fame
• Lagerfeld designed the costumes for the Carmen
sequences in the 2002 film Callas Forever. In 2004 he
designed some outfits for the international music artist
Madonna, for her Re-Invention tour, and recently
designed outfits for Kylie Minogue's Show girl tour.
• Lagerfeld collaborated with the international Swedish
fashion brand H&M. On November 12, 2004, H&M
offered a limited range of different Lagerfeld clothes in
chosen outlets for both women and men.

8. Weight Loss
• When Lagerfeld lost 42kg (roughly 92.6
pounds) in 13 months, his explanation was
“...I suddenly wanted to dress differently,
to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane.
• He said “But these fashions modeled by
very very slim boys-and not men my age-
required me to lose at least 40kg. It took me
exactly thirteen months.”
• The diet was created specially for Lagerfeld
by Dr. Jean Claude Houdret, which led to
a book called The Karl Lagerfeld Diet.

11. • Karl Lagerfeld's collection for
H&M, the first designer
collaboration with a fast-fashion
retailer, hit stores. And less than 72
hours later, the company was
apologizing, half happily, half
guiltily: Nearly the entire collection
was sold out. "We've been operating
this business for some 60 years and
we've never seen anything like it,"
H&M's marketing director said.
