Daddy Karl Lagerfeld Opens New York Flagship in Soho

April, 17th

Daddy Karl Lagerfeld moved to the Big Apple. That is his flagship store and not him of course! Located at 420 Broadway in SoHo, the ready-to-wear, footwear and handbag flagship is housed near Chanel and Fendi, which is only fitting.

This opening is a milestone of global growth for Daddy. According to CEO of KARL LAGERFELD, Pier Paolo Righi, New York City is an international fashion capital with a modern spirit and energy that make it the ideal setting for our new flagship. With our W. Broadway location, we can invite our consumers to immerse themselves in the complete KARL LAGERFELD retail experience and continue to build meaningful connections with them.

Inside the black, white and red store alongside the library wall – inspired by our home and Daddy’s studio – is ready-to-wear for women and men, accessories, footwear, and soon the debut of the KARL LAGERFELD + ModelCo colour cosmetics collection. You might even spot moi (in statue form) and my personal Daddy-designed collection of clothes and accessories. If you do, be sure to tag me on Instagram @ChoupetteDiary to get a special shout-out!

P.S -Throughout 2018, keep an eye out for event and activation invites including the launch of the highly anticipated KARL LAGERFELD X Kaia range in September 2018.

Into the Woods for Chanel Fall/Winter 2018-19

March, 6th

You can always count on Daddy Karl Lagerfeld to put on a spectacle during Paris Fashion Week and the Fall/Winter 2018/19 ready-to-wear collection was no different. Daddy transformed the Grand Palais into a woodsy moss-covered forest. The perfect setting for a brisk autumn walk with your dog…if you’re into that sort of thing.

As the smell of rich soil wafted through the air, Grace Elizabeth opened the show in a black velvet overcoat and a crisp white collared shirt. Parading through crunchy fall leaves (which Daddy was adamant I couldn’t pounce in. #Buzzkill)in western shape metallic gold over-the-knee boots and patent leather brogues, models dressed in Chanel’s signature tweeds, metallic boxy trousers, printed dresses and coats, colorful opera length fingerless gloves, faux fur coats, quilted puffers, black lace gowns, oversized scarves, and mismatched Chanel double C earrings.

With a total of 80 looks, Daddy gradually wove in bright hues of blue, orange, and pink alongside classic Fall shades of black and grey. While the mods got to take a leisurely stroll, creating 80 looks was not exactly a walk in the park for Daddy, but as per usual, he outdid himself with another immersive experience.

Can I please finally pounce in the leaves?

Inside Daddy Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Spring ’18 Haute Couture Garden Party

January, 23rd

On Tuesday, Daddy Karl Lagerfeld traded in the Eiffel Tower, supermarket, and extravagant airport terminal for a more intimate garden party inside the Grand Palais. While there was no rocketship blast-off, the fanciful French garden was complete with a bubbling fountain (which I dared not go near for fear of falling into that chilly liquid) and approximately 10K English roses.

Models bloomed from behind trellises in opulent gowns mirroring the botanic setting, iconic jackets with exaggerated “faceted shoulders”, tweed shorts, split and tulip-shaped skirts, short floral lace dresses overlaid with embellished organza, and bodices that blossomed with floral crystals. Roses crept from decor to dresses with flowers adorning transparent ankle boots with lucite heels, headbands, empire waists, and bouquet-topped veils.

A range of silhouettes — short, long, straight, full-skirted, cutaway — mixed with new A-shaped jackets and dresses in a palette of pink, jade, bright blue, and black. Daddy’s mix of essential favorites and new constructions made the Chanel Spring ’18 Haute Couture show “haute, haute couture.”

Take a moment to stop and smell the English roses…but don’t let Daddy’s freshly-grown facial hair distract you.
