Karl Lagerfeld SS08

Paris fashion week is here and Karl Lagerfeld shows us his collection.
I lie if I said that I don't like his collection at all.....
I totally love it !!


The way he chose the color and the model, it's totally great. I think his collection is entertaining for our eyes :).

The make up - oh I totally LOVE it. It's not too strong but also not too mellow as well, just about right. You know what I mean?

I think short skirt and asymmetrical model is back.

Great job Karl !!







Here is review from Wall Street Journal

Karl Lagerfeld, at 74 years old, is a fashion multi-tasker.
In addition to designing several collections a year for Chanel, where he has worked for 25 years, he also is the longtime creative director of LVMH’s Fendi label.




Today, unveiling the collection for the third and smaller brand he designs — the Karl Lagerfeld collection — he sought inspiration from the 1980s club scene.
He presented a collection of angular tailored jackets and tight one-shouldered mini-dresses in bright colors against a backdrop of a neon rainbow. Models wore chunky lucite accessories, like drop earrings shaped like a triangle, and spiked headbands.
“Karl’s girl has a bit of sweetness with an ‘S&M’ edge,” says Ann Watson, fashion director at Henri Bendel in New York.
Mr. Lagerfeld’s label has struggled to craft a distinct identity in the marketplace, underscoring the difficulty—no matter how famous the designer—of developing a brand from scratch, as opposed to drawing on the long history of an established label.
Tommy Hilfiger Corp., which bought the Karl Lagerfeld brand in 2005 for about $30 million, threw an elaborate fashion show in New York last year to fete the launch of the collection of $150 T-shirts and $400 sweaters in the U.S. It was then discontinued after one disappointing season. (Mr. Lagerfeld himself remarked to Women’s Wear Daily that the collection was too expensive.)
Tommy Hilfiger was bought by private-equity fund Apax Partners last year. Following the acquisition, Mr. Lagerfeld’s brand took a backseat to Apax’s plans to overhaul the Hilfiger label. Fred Gehring, chief executive of Tommy Hilfiger, attended the Lagerfeld show but declined to answer questions backstage.
A Hilfiger spokeswoman said that relaunching the brand in the U.S. for the Spring 2008 season remains “a possibility.”
Representatives from Neiman Marcus, Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman were all at the show, though it remains to be seen if they will buy the collection.
