Karl Lagerfeld F/W 13.14 Paris

[Stereo_Flo]

Starting with the fall collection, the designer decided to unite his masstige Karl range and the more upscale Karl Lagerfeld Paris line under one label called — you guessed it — Karl Lagerfeld.

It was a smart move, given the flattening of the high and low fashion worlds, and it yielded a better balance between Lagerfeld’s rocker and couture personas. The women’s collection was loaded with feminized Karl-isms: white shirts with contrast collars and trims; slim wool dress coats with pyramid studs on the collar, and lean denim with biker details or done in glossy finishes. Camouflage jeans, actually composed of Lagerfeld’s iconic cameo, underpinned a cool group in army greens, with shirts and dresses trimmed in leather.

The men’s wear was just as succinct: cummerbund pleats jazzing up shirts; panels of quilting on sleek leather blousons, and meaty sweaters festooned with toggle closures.

Shown on racks in Lagerfeld’s new boutique on Boulevard Saint-Germain, the presentation only served to accentuate the clothes’ commercial appeal.

Love how the model changed from female to male and I didn't even notice
Is this all?

This looks really cheap.

Generic. This is something you would see in Zara or something.

Apparently I quite like it even though I'd love to see more colors (It was great)

Good collection, not technically good for Lagerfeld (although I've basically forgotten about Chanel these days too). Big fan of the shoes in the first images though.

very cool and wearable collection. it's classic Karl.

Some of these looks are breathtakingly pretty to me. Simplistic and chic and there's not a thing I dislike. Bravo.

I like it too, but it could have been styled a lot better. I love those ankle boots and the collection of watches which was launched today is mind blowing (I see one of the models here).

The bags look like bad replicas of Dior "New Lock" bags...almost identical.

me too, I had to do a double take.


I really like the simplicity of the collection. The first images are to generic, but the new shots show a pretty, wearable collection but nothing exciting.

I like it. I looks like Chanel for young women.
