The annual Met Gala, one of the most high-profile events in the fashion calendar, have selected Karl Lagerfeld as their theme for 2023’s edition.

With a career that spanned over six decades, Lagerfeld designed for some of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel and Fendi. His influence on the industry continues today through his own eponymous brand KARL LAGERELD.

The Met Gala’s theme ‘Karl Lagerfeld; A Line of Beauty” is a testament to his enduring legacy and status as one of the most iconic and influential designers of all time. The event and exhibition promise to be fitting tributes to Lagerfeld, showcasing the best of his designs and celebrating his lasting impact on the world of fashion.

As we eagerly await the event, we can’t help but wonder which of Karl’s many iconic fashion designs we will see paraded down that famous red carpet on the 1st of May.

Let’s delve into some of the statement styles that helped earn Karl his iconic status in fashion.

The Chanel Suit: Lagerfeld’s reinterpretation of Coco Chanel’s classic suit became a signature of his time at the house. He updated the design with modern fabrics and details, but the essence of the piece remained the same: a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication.

The Fingerless Gloves: Lagerfeld’s fondness for fingerless gloves was as much a fashion statement as a practical choice.  They became a signature of his personal style, adding an edgy touch to his signature tailored look.

The Monochrome Look: Lagerfeld was a master of monochrome dressing, often seen in head-to-toe black or white. He used this technique to create a sleek, streamlined silhouette that was both modern and timeless.
