Karl Lagerfeld is expected back in New York

I once saw him, in Harrods, in London. I was like, "Whos that I know him?", then I was like, "Oh yea, it's Karl Lagerfeld" and I thought "Cool, he shops here too".

from fashion week daily...hopefully this will infuse some much needed juice to NY Fashion Week...

Watch out New York, Karl’s a’coming to the Big Apple. Over the weekend, at the pre-Halloween bash he hosted in honor of Fendi, Lagerfeld confirmed to The Daily that he will not only stage his first fashion show for Lagerfeld Gallery in New York next February, but plans on showing the line in New York going forward.

“I’ve moved my entire Paris operation to New York,” he said, pointing out his new offices at 601 West 26th Street. “I like the idea of showing in New York and am excited.” While it remains unclear where he will stage his show—rumors have him scouting a space in the Meatpacking District and also checking out the Tents at Bryant Park—Alex de Betak is said to have been asked by Lagerfeld to produce his show. If that were to happen, it would mark the first time the two creative geniuses will have worked together. As for the Bryant Park notion, a 7th on Sixth employee noted that they would begin working on the schedule for February shows in the next few weeks and that nothing has been confirmed.

[leyla m.]

well from what i've heard(my sources here) the brand is slowly but surely dyieng. this is someone closest to karl. he gives him another 6months and then : bye bye

 

[kimair]

wow...really leyla? i thought he just received a huge influx of cash via tommy hilfiger (although his own business is on the block)...

that would be sad...i have really loved the last 2 lagerfeld gallery collections...

I think bringing Lagerfeld Gallery to the US was more of a strategic move, rather than he just wants a change of pace. Showing in New York will generate a buzz around his line and hopefully attract more customers. I can't wait to see the line and I think it will bring a new energy to New York fashion week.

 

[zamb]

other than Hype, I dont think it will make new york fashion week any better. although i do regard Mr. Lagerfeld as one of the greatest designers of his generation (he has somehow managed to remain very relevant when his contemporaries such as Saint Laurent, Ungaro, Givenchy and others are no longer working) he has never had the ability to design great collections under his own name. His Lagerfeld Gallery collections have always seemed to be a feminized version of the clothes he wears himself.

more on lagerfeld gallery moving to nyc, from fwd:

Karl Lagerfeld’s New York plans are crystallizing by the day. First he confirmed to The Daily his plan to present his fall/winter 2006 Lagerfeld Gallery collection show in New York. Now he’s confirmed a date and time. The Lagerfeld Gallery show will take place on Feb. 10 at 8pm. That choice of day and time ensures Lagerfeld the likelihood that he will close New York Fashion Week, thus joining the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, both of whom have held what seems to have become the most coveted spot the last two years. A location has not yet been announced.

...bad move.

 

[mb117]

If you watch the Lagerfeld Gallery video on style.com I believe you will see one of the models comment on the brand's relocation. She thinks its fantastic...but what else was she going to say?

 

[liberty33r1b]

i think this really sounds like a good move for the label.....hope it works out well, though.
