Karl Lagerfeld was best known as the man behind the iconic fashion house of Chanel—the one where Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel designed iconic fashion pieces like the 2.55 quilted bag, two-tone shoes, the tweed jacket, the little black dress, faux pearls, and the breton top.

Long after mademoiselle Coco Chanel's passing, Karl Lagerfeld has been able to constantly reinvent the fashion house's most iconic pieces in the best possible way, through fashion-forward designs that speak to women all over the world. In his 36 years with Chanel, Lagerfeld was able to put the fashion house constantly on top with every collection he has ever created, making every Chanel piece a treasured possession for fashion lovers and regular folk alike.
