Karl Lagerfeld

The new collection has been developed in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the design duo Christian Roth and Eric Domege, who are supporting Marchon on this exciting launch. The design and palette will reflect the spirit and sophistication of the KARL LAGERFELD brand.

Karl Lagerfeld has a signature look – his white ponytail, the white shirt and black suit, his leather fingerless driving gloves and his sunglasses. So it comes as no surprise that together with Marchon Eyewear the Chanel and Fendi creative director has released the Karl Lagerfeld eyewear collection.

“Karl has such a strong personality,” recalled Giancarla Agnoli, senior vice president of design at Marchon. “It’s not just interpreting a vision, it’s interpreting a personality that is so iconic in the fashion world. And he has so many interests – music, photography, fashion – so it was almost like, where does one begin?”

The designers took cues from Lagerfeld’s penchant for bold black-and-white shapes with a Sixities intellectual feel and aviator shapes, with a pair of frames featuring details which resembled an old-fashioned film roll on the temple.
