Karl Lagerfeld has been through countless style reinventions over the past five decades. He’s morphed from bodybuilder to 18th century nobleman, and been both admired and mocked along the way. Well, no one’s making fun of Karl anymore. Ever since his draconian diet nearly 5 year ago, the designer has embraced a new look– haute rock star. And rightfully so; the man has climbed the ranks of fashion royalty and marketed himself into the stratosphere.

Now part of Karl’s signature look is a mere stroll away on rue de Castiglione near Place Vendome.

Whether they are black or silver, python or lamb, KL is rarely seen without his fingerless gloves (he’s always had insecurity issues about his man hands). The designer orders them in bulk from esteemed ‘gantier,’ the House of Causse. This season, the house had produced a luxurious collection for women… zebra and leopard prints, vernis, chocolate mink… all available to drool over at www.causse-gantier.com.
