Although Karl Lagerfeld Paris was founded much later than many of the designer brands we're familiar with, the history and reputation of the brand grants it the coveted luxury status.

He created designs for various fashion houses and brands throughout his career. His most notable collaborations were with Chanel and Fendi, where he served as creative director for both brands. Lagerfeld helped revitalize Chanel and modernize Fendi, designing iconic pieces such as the "baguette" handbag.

Karl Lagerfeld was a fashion industry icon and one of the most acclaimed designers in the 20th century, spending many of his years thriving in brands like Fendi and Chanel, collaborating and creating ready to wear and couture lines as well as his own label later on.

In 1983 Lagerfeld produced his first couture collection for Chanel, and in 1984, after a year at Chanel, he launched his own eponymous label.
