Karl Lagerfeld has had his hands on a lot of projects lately, from a wine label to book projects to a Macy’s collection. The only thing missing is a namesake line. Today, WWD reports that is soon to change; Lagerfeld is set to launch a “rock ‘n’ roll-flavored” 100-piece collection ($95 to $450) of his own on Net-a-Porter.com on January 25.
The new president of Karl Lagerfeld BV, Pier Paolo Righi, says after the affordable collection’s debut at Paris Couture Week, a string of Karl pop-up shops and “Karl Lagerfeld experience” flagship boutiques will follow. The Karl collection, stamped with the Kaiser’s signature, including fingerless gloves, detachable collars, and silvery jeans, is geared toward women in their “late teens and early twenties.”
