KARL LAGERFELD Clothing for Women

Balancing commitments with Fendi and Chanel, iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld added an eponymous line to his fashion portfolio when he launched his own namesake label in 2004. Describing the collections as a 'graphic idea of what I like, what could be translated from me to girls," the label eschews the high-end in favour of targeting the mid-range market with a collection of stark and edgy pieces that range from graphic T-shirts emblazoned with Lagerfeld's silhouette, to biker jackets and fingerless leather gloves. Sophisticated and elegant yet infused with attitude, the brand is a must-shop name for the fashion crowd.
