Catching The Outstanding Maneuvers of Karl Lagerfield

If some people describe the vogue in Germany as 'subtle' or 'discreet,' wait 'til they get to know Karl Lagerfield and see his concoctions. Born in Hamburg, he already shared his desire and passion for designing at the tender age of 17, when he won in a competition in France. His success in the said contest did not go unnoticed as he took on prestigious jobs with well-known personalities. Not long after, he decided to go freelance in the world of haute couture, working with well-known products such as Valentino and Charles Jourdan.

After a shortened hiatus from the vogue world, near the end of the '60s, Lagerfield decided to try his designing talent again by partnering with Fendi as a consultant. In the following years, he easily became associated with RTW collections, still under well-known products such as Chloe and Chanel. While he was working on the aforementioned collections, he was able to share his style and preference for comfortable yet special and colorful designs, especially on jackets and knitwear.

Generally, Lagerfield is well-known for pairing the wild with the classic. If I am not mistaken, it was during his popularity that the fishnet stockings and the huge jacket was paired with the common denim mini. I suppose it was also during his time that the laced-up boots and the leather jacket became faves in the closet.

So, with all that Lagerfield has up his sleeve, would you still suppose the same concept about German designers?
