A genius with a cat: Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld imprinted his name, his face, and even his legendary cat Choupette onto every corner of the fashion world. His initials “KL” and signature details became synonymous with the creativity and precision that defined his work. Every piece, from iconic handbags to casual hoodies, carried the unmistakable mark of his personality.

The logo of Karl and Choupette evolved into a symbol of provocative elegance, always refined down to the last detail. Karl Lagerfeld effortlessly bridged the world of haute couture with streetwear: bold graphic prints, daring silhouettes, and striking elements. With every design, he pushed the boundaries of fashion, proving that it can be playful, sophisticated, and unforgettable all at once.

Black and white are two signature colors that, in the hands of Karl Lagerfeld, became a timeless symbol of elegance. His profound passion for black defined much of his work, from everyday outfits to the most striking evening gowns. With masterful ease, Lagerfeld combined black with white accents, creating sophisticated contrasts inspired by the ageless tradition of the tuxedo.

Characteristic were:

• Fluid silhouettes that highlighted femininity and grace.
• Cocktail dresses with white details, adding freshness and originality.
• Sophisticated pieces with lace patterns, where black and white played in a harmonious dance of light and shadow.

This noble pairing of black and white became Lagerfeld’s signature, a symbol of his ability to fuse classic refinement with modern sensibility and infuse every creation with a mark of distinction.

Lagerfeld believed that accessories are the alpha and omega of every outfit. Among those with a strong legacy is the elegant crossbody bag bearing the “Karl” logo that gives the impression of minimalism yet is striking. The quilted travel bag is a stylish companion for every journey. And the leather gloves embossed with Karl and Choupette emblems are both extravagant and practical. And last but not least, we can’t forget the silk scarf decorated with sketches by Karl himself.

Whether it was high heels combining an elegant pointed silhouette with modern branding, or comfortable loafers with chunky soles, glossy finishes, and tassels, Karl always ensured that footwear completed the overall look. Each step reflected not only elegance, but also uncompromising taste and the courage to stand out. Just like Karl himself.
