Karl Lagerfeld (born Karl Otto Lagerfeldt on September 10, 1938) is a prominent fashion designer. He has collaborated with a variety of fashion labels, most notably Chanel but also Chloéand Fendi. Lagerfeld owns several labels, which he launched in the early 1980s, in various industries including perfume and clothing.
Karl Lagerfeld emigrated to Paris in 1953. In 1955, at the age of 22, Lagerfeld was awarded a position as an apprentice at Pierre Balmain, after winning a competition for a coat sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat. He told a reporter a few years later, "I won on coats, but actually I like designing coats least of all. What I really love are little black dresses."
