Luxferity, 13.09.2022
The collaboration is inspired by the mutual love between Karl Lagerfeld and Cara Delevingne. More than simple colleagues, Karl and Cara had an incredibly special bond.
The CARA LOVES KARL collection infuses Karl’s iconic aesthetic with Cara’s multi-faceted influence while featuring sustainable materials and focusing on gender neutral, size-inclusive pieces that reflect the values that both Cara and KARL are passionate about.
The capsule showcases diverse and premium transformable pieces across the full collection that offer a wider range of styling options with just one garment. This approach translates into a minimized overall impact on consumption and the planet.
Starting with timeless and outerwear pieces, the laid-back, trans-seasonal parka offers chic practicality and street-style credibility in equal doses. Crafted from environmentally conscious materials, this polished, adaptable blazer features a drawstring that allows the wearer to cinch the waist and further emphasize a more defined silhouette.

With a focus on inclusivity across the board, key highlights include a two-tone, gender-neutral, denim jacket, a stunning bomber with a removable hood and sleeves, as well as transformable, button-up blazer.
A key look in the capsule collection is the long-line tuxedo gilet, crafted from premium, recycled materials. The fashion-forward garment can be worn as a sophisticated layering piece or entirely on its own as an exquisite, above-the-knee dress. With a focus on true KARL DNA, the ultimate white shirt is reimagined with chic transformability in mind. A timeless button-down can be transformed into an alluring, cropped silhouette, while the bi-patterned version can also be styled and unbuttoned down the back to construct a playful and more seductive look.
Gender-neutral tailoring is revamped with elevated and edgy tuxedo suits. The items pair impeccably with crisp, timeless shirting or can be worn on their own for a more revealing, and elegant look. Taking transformability to the next level, the capsule showcases a hooded, cropped and/or long line denim jacket that can be buttoned-up along the front and back panels. The item can be worn in its traditional silhouette or combined in a mismatched fashion to create a stunning and altogether avant-garde look.
Select denim pieces can be combined seamlessly with the casual jersey selection, namely comprised of avatar and logo-printed t-shirts and sweatshirts crafted from organic and recycled materials A cozy faux-shearling-lined biker jacket features detachable sleeves that can transform the silhouette into a smart gilet, offering versatility and functionality ideal for the transitional season.
For a softer approach to crisp weather dressing, the selection features a reversible faux-fur, hooded bomber made with nylon on the other side. The transformability factor makes it a smart option for days when the temperature fluctuates or potentially when rain is forecast.
Jersey is also featured in the one-of-a-kind capsule collection with a key look taking the shape of an elevated, street-wear adjacent hoodie. Ultra-soft, oversized and comfortable, the logo-clad piece can just as easily be worn as a layering item or a street-style dress.
Drawing on a more classic design and infused with on point transformational styling, a striking tailored coat is crafted with a smart wool-blend on one side and recycled nylon on the other, while the waist is accentuated with a logo embellished, webbing belt. As a twist, the detachable sleeve-and-hood combo can also be worn on its own for a more daring and undeniably modern fashion statement.
The accessories selection is diverse and designed with all genders in mind.
The entire range is crafted from environmentally conscious materials such as recycled nylon and organic cotton.
The packable nylon bumbag is compact and easy to wear, while the small crossbody was inspired by the KL seven design and updated with a sporty twist. The satchel and camera bag are crafted in a plush faux- shearling material that works well with any number of coldweather looks.
The collection also highlights wear-everywhere accessories, such as eye-catching, logo-clad canvas shoppers, street-style beanies, and webbing belts that pair up perfectly with the capsule’s ready-to-wear selection.
