Karl Lagerfeld is launching a new, affordable “rock n’roll” inspired womenswear line called Karl in January 2012. The collection will be exclusively sold online atNet-a-porter.
Karl: " It's my today's taste and style and a reflection of how I think a great number of people would like to be dressed now. I just want not too expensive clothes that people may like and perhaps want to wear. That was my concept for a long time but my business partners in the past wanted to be like Chanel or Fendi without putting behind what is needed to be like that." (www.wwd.com)
