Karl Lagerfeld and Kaia Gerber reveal Capsule Collection
Karl Lagerfeld and Kaia Gerber have teamed up for a new capsule collection for his eponymous label.
Titled ‘Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia’, the capsule consists of ready-to-wear: wetsuit-inspired bodysuits, logo hoodies, biker jackets, double-breasted tuxedos, and accessories: monogram chokers, over-the-knee socks, mini rucksacks, velvet bags, trainers and chain-embellished hats.
The project is the largest collaborative to date for the fashion house and blends Lagerfeld’s timeless, Parisian chic aesthetic with Gerber’s confident vision and L.A. style. Kaia was very involved in the design process, which took place in Los Angeles and the workshop of Karl Lagerfeld in Paris. She also modeled for the collection while Lagerfeld himself shot the campaign images at his 7L studio in Paris.
‘I have loved being a part of the creative process and working with Karl is a dream,’ said Gerber. ‘I’ve always thought that he’s a genius, so it’s amazing that he’s shown me some of his trade. It has given me a new appreciation for how hard designers work, and how much creativity and thought goes into every collection.’
‘Kaia has a youthful, independent attitude that is inspiring,’ said Lagerfeld.
The collection will be exclusively available from 30th August from Karl.com, Karl Lagerfeld stores and a number of premium stores and online retailers such as Selfridges, Excelsior Milan, Luisa Via Roma, KaDeWe, Jelmoli and La Rinascente.
