It’s no wonder Karl Lagerfeld is known as The Kaiser. He regally leads the fashion crowd with edgy designs for Chanel, Fendi and his namesake line, all while adorned in a distinctive uniform of shrunken black jackets, dark shades and punk gloves.
His photography for magazines like V and Harper’s Bazaar never fails to push the envelope. And his witty bon mots can melt the iciest of “Blue Steel” stares. Lucky for his subjects, Lagerfeld’s new book, “The World According to Karl,” arrives Tuesday, chock-full of his Karl-isms.
