Karl Lagerfeld is a German-born fashion designer and artist based in Paris, France. He has collaborated with on a variety of fashion and art related projects, most notably as head designer and creative director for the fashion house Chanel. Lagerfeld helms his own label fashion house, as well as the Italian house Fendi, both of which produce luxury fashion items (including perfumes and accessories).
He still wins plaudits for keeping Chanel fresh while preserving its classic appeal. He also designs for Italy's Fendi, and churns out collections under his own Lagerfeld labels. So potent is his name that last fall's launch of the bargain-priced "Karl Lagerfeld for H&M" apparel line for Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz touched off near-riots in stores from Manhattan to Milan. With his white ponytail, dark glasses, and black-and-white wardrobe, Lagerfeld is an enduring icon in an industry where superstardom is usually fleeting. Yet he recoils at the suggestion that he has become an institution. He thinks that the moment you stop and think about your past, the magic starts to fade. He strongly believes that change is the healthiest way to survive.
