Karl Lagerfeld
Karl Lagerfeld

One of the best known ? and busiest ? designers in modern history, Karl Lagerfeld is legendary for the creativity and integrity he maintains across the numerous lines he designs every year. He leads his own fashion house, designs furs for the Italian house Fendi and, perhaps most notably, serves as head designer and creative director for the house of Chanel.

Describing himself as a "fashion chameleon" Lagerfeld says of himself, "When I do Fendi, I am another person from when I do Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, or KL. It's like being four people in one. Perhaps I have no personality at all, or perhaps I have more than one."

A lover of opera, theater, and films, Lagerfeld has created costumes for La Scala in Milan, for the Schnitzler plays, and for many films, including The Sun Also Rises, Babette's Feast, Viva le Vie, and Le General de L'Armee Morte.

He is also a respected and sought-after photographer, shooting fashion advertisements for both Chanel and for his House of Lagerfeld. Gallery shows of his photos in Paris draw legions of admirers.

Well known for his distinct personal sense of style, Lagerfeld says of his signature long ponytail: "My father died reading the newspaper when he was over 90. His parents lived to be 98. I'm looking forward to growing old. Ponytails look good with white hair."
