_Promoted

KARL LAGERFELD presents its Fall-Winter 2022 womenswear collection. Drawing inspiration from the playful science-fiction aesthetic of retro-futurism, the collection elevates the movement with references to beauty and positivity. This commitment to optimism and a visionary spirit is expressed across the collection through hypnotic color-changing styles, innovative transforming silhouettes, and sustainably sourced materials.

“This collection is timeless – it’s forward-facing while also grounded in the now and inspired by retro-futuristic references. It is also conscious. Pieces have been designed with function, environmental impact, and style in mind,“ said KARL LAGERFELD Design Director Hun Kim.

Environmentally conscious fabrics and gender-neutral, transformer styles form the foundation of outerwear pieces for Fall-Winter 2022. Key pieces include a faux-leather puffer jacket, perfect for giving relaxed or sophisticated looks an edgy reboot, and a faux-shearling coat that transforms from a long-length style to a plush short jacket. Meanwhile, reflective materials and color-changing technology are showcased on a down jacket featuring the House monogram print and a luminous bomber that reacts to body temperature. A cutting-edge, LED-enhanced jacket completes the collection’s head-turning outerwear line-up.

Infused with iconic KARL style, statement denim pieces experience a resurgence in the Fall-Winter 2022 selection. From wide-leg jeans with up-turned pin-tuck cuffs to relaxed silhouettes adorned with an all-over KL-monogram design and rhinestone-embellished stonewashed classics, this season’s diverse denim assortment has something for every occasion and style. Continuing with the theme of renewal, the elegant orchid print, inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite flower, returns with a graphic refresh. The design enriches selected styles including a romantic ruffled blouse and silk shirt dress.

Tailoring and occasion-wear are integral to brand’s DNA, and this latest collection showcases exactly that. Elevated suiting is offered in a boxy, double-breasted jacket with matching wide-leg trousers, bringing a laid-back attitude to boardroom chic. Meanwhile, a Karl Lagerfeld archive-inspired suit and coordinating coat with color-pop accents offer timeless yet contemporary tailoring.

Sleek leather pieces offer effortless desk-to-dinner styling. Key pieces include a V-neck midi-dress with flared sleeves, ribbed-cuff leather pants, and a puffed-sleeve faux-leather shirt. Moreover, the Fall-Winter 2022 collection has showstopping evening looks in abundance. A highlight this season is a caped jumpsuit, embellished with sheer georgette sleeves for dramatic impact. Additional hero pieces include the iridescent KL-monogram jacquard blouse and midi-skirt twin set, crafted from sparkling lurex, and the long-line tunic shirt embellished with shimmering sequins.

ACCESSORIES

The Fall-Winter 2022 accessories assortment introduces sharp lines, celestial silhouettes, and futuristic finishes to complement the season’s overarching theme. The K/ID bag, crafted from upcycled leather, juxtaposes the smooth curves of its half-moon silhouette with edgy metal hardware, while the sleek K/Bridge group offers a contemporary and minimalist alternative to evening accessorizing. Another addition to the accessory collection includes the K/Kross Archive top handle - a reimagining of an original Karl Lagerfeld design that is available in a range of eye-catching hues.

Best-selling styles also get a seasonal reboot in the form of vibrant colorways, plush silhouettes, and tech-infused constructions. Making its debut, the K/Autograph Soft offers a cushioned, oversized silhouette crafted in soft lamb leather, while the K/Saddle Chain sees the classic style upgraded by an all-over embossed KL-monogram design. Embodying the futuristic spirit of the season, the voluminous K/Signature Soft collection is reinvigorated with degradé finishes, reflective fabrics, and color-changing heat technology.

To complement the occasion wear, the vintage-inspired K/Kross clutch returns in shimmering gold and fuchsia. Similarly, the geometric Essential K silhouette gets a croc-embossed leather update, accentuated by brushed-metal highlights for evening accessorizing with metallic impact.

JEWELRY

The collection continues to expand the KARL LAGERFELD jewelry offering by fusing vintage-inspired pieces with a fashion-forward outlook. Taking inspiration directly from Karl Lagerfeld’s catalog of designs, the K/Karl Archive assortment offers an opulent multi-strand freshwater pearl necklace and matching bracelet, while the K/ID collection brings an edgy update to retro identity plaque chain-link bracelets. Pearls also feature in black and white as timeless necklace and earring designs from the sophisticated K/Essential selection.

Bold statement jewelry is showcased in the K/Monogram and K/Monogram Chain groups where the House monogram adorns a variety of slim and chunky chain necklaces, rings, and hoop earrings. Lastly, bringing a playful and light-hearted touch to this season’s jewelry collection, the K/Ikonik line sees Karl and Choupette cast as hanging charms from silver and gold-toned necklaces and bracelets, as well as from black and white beaded necklaces for a monochrome outlook.
