If fashion was a kingdom, Karl Lagerfeld would certainly be the king on the throne. This versatile genius designs all the lines from Chanel, Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, he takes pictures, makes short movies and designed a new SS11 capsule collection for Hogan as well as high street collaboration with H&M among other intellectual and social activities. He needs to find a new idea every 5 minutes or even seconds at the rate his going. The only time he doesn't think about clothes seems to be when he wakes up, as Karl has a fashion uniform- the man had found what suits him the best and wears it everyday with a big emphasis on his trademark accessories.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you think about it, every single influential person in the fashion industry has their trademark outfit and sticks to it. “Azzedine Alaia” must have 500 black Mao suits, “Olivier Zahm”- the new prince of hipsters- owner of “Purple Magazine” never leaves home without his aviator sunglasses, tight pants and a leather or a jeans jacket. Oh I could continue for hours with many prime examples.
Tom Ford
On the runways, this Spring Summer collection was on the more demure side, with a lot of blacks and camels. Classic elegance is key for the next two seasons, so as I said earlier you really need to emphasize on accessories. Do not hesitate to shop at your old school Loro Piana, Ralph Lauren, Burberry or Pringle of Scotland store. One more affordable brand under my radar these past few seasons would definitely be J-Crew, Jenna Lyons the new creative director and president gave it a big boost taking it from old school to new cool.
I recently came across this brand Bamford Watch Department for customised Rolex, completed with a pair of Band of Outsiders and Moscot sunglasses would put the look together perfectly. That would be the trendiest pick for a hot fall in Dubai. Check it out, tell me what you think.
Tell is about your own style of success, what kind of acessory makes you "YOU"?
