Karl Lagerfeld began his career in the 1950’s. He worked at several top fashion houses including Balmain, Patou and Chloe before joining Chanel in 1983 as creative director. He oversaw every aspect of Chanel. He brought the brand to life. He was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi. In addition, he had his own label. He is known for expert tailoring and incredible attention to detail.

His influence was evident in fashion for the masses too. Who didn’t have a power suit in the ’80″s that that wasn’t stamped like one of his creations?

He was known for his attention to detail and fabulous trims.

One always should look good leaving the room too!

My personal favorites were from Chanel.

GORGEOUS!

I’m sure you will find a favorite here too

To see many more dresses, suits and coats go to The Metropolitan Museum of Art to view the exhibit which runs through July 16, 2023. You will love it.
