What to know about Karl Lagerfeld
Contemporary prices, not couture
Founded in 1984 and relaunched in 2012 as a contemporary line, it sits at accessible mid-to-high prices rather than the runway houses Lagerfeld designed for.
The designer as graphic
The house signature is black-and-white rock-inflected graphics and the "Ikonik" silhouette of Lagerfeld himself, applied across logo tees, biker jackets, quilted bags and sneakers.
Corporate-owned, licensed widely
G-III Apparel Group bought the remaining 81% stake for €200 million in 2022, and the name also runs across fragrance, kidswear, homeware, hotels and a separate North American line.
