Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty
By Andrew Bolton
With contributions by Tadao Ando, Anita Briey, Stefania D'Alfonso, Olivia Douchez, Amanda Harlech, Patrick Hourcade, Mellissa Huber, Nicole Lefort, Kai Toussaint Marcel, Jacqueline Mercier, Loïc Prigent, and Anna Wintour
Photographs by Julia Hetta
This investigation into Karl Lagerfeld's (1933–2019) artistry explores his extraordinary sixty-five-year career, from the designs for Chloé and Fendi in the 1960s and 1970s to his celebrated leadership in the 1980s and beyond at Chanel and his own label. Inspired by the "line of beauty" theorized by eighteenth-century English painter William Hogarth, this dazzling publication pursues the straight and serpentine "lines" and their intersections in Lagerfeld's work as a means of understanding his unique creative process.
Andrew Bolton is the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
