Karl Lagerfeld is widely recognized as one of the most influential fashion designers of the late 20th century and known for his collaborations with high fashion brands like Chloé, Fendi and Chanel.
Having built the most complicated resume, unlike that of any designer, with his own labels, including perfume and clothing, Karl isn’t willing to limit his versatility to the fashion world.
Photography, being an art that’s secluded from fashion, happens to be his second passion. And as expected, he takes it pretty seriously.
Langen Foundation, a museum located on the premises of a former nuclear missile silo near Düsseldorf in Germany, is where the man is showing off his photographic works.
In his photography, he writes, “the future and the timeless meet.”
Describing his work, Lagerfeld speaks of a “visual order without any apparent logic” as a well as graphical effects that are taken “hors contexte,” or “out of context.”
He says his photographs can be enjoyed by all. “Anyone can view these photos “without having to ask any questions.”
Examining his photographs, the curators are calling Lagerfeld’s work “classics.”
With Karl Lagerfeld going at it… Why not ???
