The Karl Lagerfeld Look Book

You might be asking yourself, does Karl Lagerfeld have more than one look? Has his style, in fact, evolved over the last 400 years? The answers to your questions are: yes, and yes! A long, long time ago, the Kaiser could be caught without his suit jacket and ponytail — and on April 19, 1972, he wore a colorful button-down shirt and jeans. As he’s fine-tuned his uniform, he’s mixed in various accessories, like folding fans, sunglasses, chain belts, animal prints, and, his current go-to, fingerless gloves. But one thing’s always remained the same: his marvelous smile. Click ahead for a trip down Lagerfeld Lane.
