Description
Karl Lagerfeld is a modern master of couture. He is also famously outspoken: his wise, surprising statements pop up like offbeat news flashes. This collection of quotations pays homage to the legendary éminence grise of the fashion world.
Lagerfeld's pronouncements—on fashion, women, art, politics, love, and life high and low—are famously oracular, seized upon by fashionistas, acolytes and sages around the world. Created with the full approval of the designer himself, this cornucopia of Lagerfeld's maxims is required reading for us all today as we negotiate the trickiest curves of modern life.
Cultivated, unpredictable, provocative, and sometimes shocking, Lagerfeld's bons mots are always impossible to ignore.
The World According to Karl captures the wit and wisdom of this iconic figure, offering insights that remain relevant in navigating modern life's complexities.
