One of the world’s most renowned fashion designers, Karl Lagerfield, decided to mash his Parisian high-fashion style with 17-year-old model Kaia Gerber’s L.A. charm. The day-to-night line is a capsule collection of ready-to-wear and accessories, coming off as the ideal mix of elegance and character.
The project comprises mainly monochrome pieces, including wetsuit-looking bodysuits, logo hoodies, biker jackets and double-breasted tuxedos. The accessories include monogram chokers, over-the-knee socks, mini rucksacks and velvet bags, trainers and chain-embellished hats.
About the collaboration, Gerber said, “I have loved being a part of the creative process and working with Karl is a dream. I’ve always thought that he’s a genius, so it’s amazing that he’s shown me some of his trade. It has given me a new appreciation for how hard designers work, and how much creativity and thought goes into every collection.”
The collection became available on sale starting August 30th on karl.com and revolve.com for two weeks, as Gerber showed up at special launch events all over Los Angeles, New York and Paris. Starting now, the collection will be available through international wholesalers and online retailer, including Karl Lagerfeld stores, of course.
