A little while ago, I posted on my Facebook and Twitter pages how trilled I was with the last Marie Claire Spain November magazine issue which was chief edited by Karl Lagerfeld for magazine's 25th anniversary. 

I usually don't buy Marie Claire on a regular basics but since for a past year and a half I am trying to learn Spanish I have been purchasing more and more of Spanish fashion magazines. This particular November issue attracted me both with its amazing cover photo, lovely stories and fashion spreads as well as the 25th anniversary gift – this stylish KARL by Karl Lagerfeld canvas tote.

In preparing this post I dedicated some time to research this fairly young brand and brows through its FW 2013. collection available exclusively on Net-a-porter and it took me about 4 minutes to run to get my credit card. Ouu yes...I am hooked on Karl. 

This is Karl Lagerfeld's second collection for lower-priced line Karl by Karl Lagerfeld. The Kaiser Karl has launched sophisticated and edgy mix of clothing and accessories available for online purchase via Net-a-porter.

Like Lagerfeld’s first collection for Karl, this new collection offers a feminine twist on the designer’s signature personal style: There are sharp tuxedo jackets, embellished crisp white collars, and, of course, studded leather gloves. The collection is predominately black and white, but Lagerfeld also included a lovely miniature camouflage print and red stand out coat as well as some silver and gold stand out pieces. Most of the items are within a price range from $50 to $1000, so collection is as last year quite possible to sell out soon.

Iconic London department store Selfridges was where two collections from the fashion brand including KARL MAN + WOMAN and newly launched premium line KARL LAGERFELD PARIS MAN and KARL LAGERFELD PARIS WOMEN debuted.

Bellow are my favorite pieces from KARL collection, couple of these are already on their way to me J

KARL'S lower priced as well as his premium lines are available for purchase exclusively via www.Net-a-porter.com women's lines and www.LuisaViaRoma.com men's lines.  Lagerfeld launched pop-up-stores on 3rd floor of Selfridges but also at Luisa Via Roma and St Tropez which closed earlier this October. 

Saint Tropez pop-up-store  offered holiday makers the opportunity to discover – besides the beach line collection developed exclusively for that place – a selection of ready to wear items for the KARL and KARL LAGERFELD PARIS lines. Last pop-up-store opened was at Bleecker Street in New York.
