Do our ears and eyes deceive us? Nope! It’s true, Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld has joined forces with online retailer, Net-A-Porter to create an affordable fusion line for fashion lovers everywhere.
Karl Lagerfeld is a “fashion opportunist”.
The Chanel creative director has teamed up with online retailer Net-A-Porter for affordable diffusion line Karl – which goes on sale on January 25 – and the legendary designer says he agreed to the venture because no one of his standing had done so in the past.
He said, “This is something that didn’t exist in the past and I am a fashion opportunist. I like to do things that have not been done. It has not been done with a name like mine so I think it’s interesting and very exciting.”
Net-A-Porter are equally excited by the collection – which is largely monochrome – describing it as “exuding effortless cool”. The site’s buying director Holly Rogers told Britain’s Grazia magazine, “From leather biker jackets to tailoring to the season’s must-have detachable collar, the line exudes effortless cool.”
When the collaboration was announced, Karl promised it would be “amazing”. He said, “We’re working on a lot of amazing ideas that are all about making luxury affordable and accessible.”
We can’t wait!
