Oh Karl...

As I glanced back at one of my last postings, it reminded me of when I took an inspiring trip too Fendi in Rome. During my quick visit, I was able to see how the fur samples were made in addition to the original paper pattern's. The picture above is from the rooftop of Fendi (overlooking Rome).
A pattern for one of the amazing fur jackets. Karl Lagerfeld's sketch of the jacket has been pinned on the front. ( I wanted to rip it off and take it home!)The studio itself was a work of art. As you may have realized by now I generally do not find myself inspired by extremely modern architecture. The studio was very modern, but I immediately fell in love by the way it was able to capture light. The space was refreshing and airy. Don't worry... I took an imported antique elevator to reach this floor. Mr. Lagerfeld does not disappoint.
