As if Karl Lagerfeld wasn’t busy enough, his newest line – K by Karl Lagerfeld – is debuting for F/W 07.
K is Karl’s concession to the high-end denim market – and a brainchild of the Hilfiger/ Lagerfeld union, when Tommy’s company bought Lagerfeld’s self-named brand.
This lower-priced line (not to be confused with low priced!) includes jeans branded with a signature K, knitwear, and tees. The collection is eerily reminiscent of Karl’s own style: skinny ties, rehab jeans, fingerless gloves.
We found images of K’s ad campaign online – and could not get over how Brazilian model Jeisa Chiminazzo was styled to look like a mini-Karl!
What is most surprising is her wholesome and innocent smile – two adjectives rarely associated with our man Karl.
Sadly though, the line is only available in Europe and Canada – so die-hard Karl fans will have to head north of the border for their Lagerfeld fix.
But maybe there’s an eBay hope…
