Karl Lagerfeld Sketches His Life

The famous and extravagant designer tells his personal life and his career through drawings.
Subscribe for more! bit.ly/JansonYo...
A funny self-portrait, both vivid and unique, much like the fashion titan himself, Karl Lagerfeld sketches the events of his life and his career, punctuated by comments and snippets of intimate stories, lively, tinted self-deprecating humor, and sometimes even emotion.
He outlines everything from his childhood (his house, his parents, his original clothes already ...) to his first fashion designs for Paris Balmain and Jean Patou.

Not the first tine the germans save the Italians

[@leftyfourguns]

He was 80 years old here. Still sharp and full of energy. His pen was zipping across the paper like he was a teenager.

[@barfuss2007]

I saw as a child Lagerfelds drawings in TV. He fascinated me. So I became an Art Director. RIP Karl.

[@bobbobby2092]

Every stroke he draw tells you that he’s the legendary artist.

exactly.

[@mohamedaslam7809]

Like how? For me it looks like a scribble. He’s a good fashion designer but definitely not an artist.

[@cykablyat1881]

Seeing people dissing on him about his drawings, saying it's just scribbles and he can't draw properly...... I mean.... They are scribbles... But his scribbles does have amazing structures and good study of anatomy, just look at how he drew his father and mother. Try drawing from your mind without a reference with someone posing like that, it's not easy.

[@reasonablyserious]

Haven't read a single comment like that. Everyone's impressed.

[@DaRUde117]

I did and it looked exactly like his. I dont see what the big deal is.

[@deusvult6938]

so basically just learn anatomy and practice with a bunch of poses. if other people got this much praise for basic things such this then a better art would be considered some miracle. his drawings are shit, but thats not the point cuz he isnt an artist, he is a fashion designer.

[@jhb61249]

He draws exactly as I do. It is based on the very first lessons of drawing, especially figure drawing, using gesture to conceptualized the the body and energy in general and in completion, that is top to bottom and side to side, feeling the internal and touching on each point of existence. Ex, starting at the head, quickly move down to the feet, back to the head, out to the far extremity (hand) and back to the opposite hand, the to the mid section, exploring all as you move on and adding new information as you repeat the over all gesture of the whole. Details come later if you desire them. There is no magic, no "talent", but only knowledge, skill and practice, and choice. Anyone can do it. There are many other approaches and techniques as well, but this type better serves fashion and conceptualizing fashion design.

[@mohamedaslam7809]

This is what I’m trying to explain to his fans (morons). There’s nothing special with his drawing skills.

[@valiakloeppel7252]

You must have the EYE to imagine the distance between points. It is an inherited talent.

I held it for a second and put it back. I’m not into fashion at all actually, i just stumbled upon it in a store many years ago and bought it.

Ampi terrazzamento con balaustra ad anfore di clessidra e sul terrazzo tanti vasi di fiori di tanti colori. Lei con pelle bianchissima immusonita còn le braccia conserte sul terrazzo. Abito attillatissimo lungo bianco a collo alto e attillatissima tunica incollata in tulle di pizzo ecrù. Capello lungo fair a coda di cavallo. Rivolta a sinistra.
