Cara Delevingne Showcases Her Love For Karl Lagerfeld In New Capsule Collection

Published

You know here at FROW, we’re always here to update you with the all the latest happening in fashion, and of course, brand collaborations with some well known faces. Well today, the Karl Lagerfeld brand launches a new capsule collection with model, actress and activist, Cara Delevingne, and you just have to hear all about this one!

Titled “Cara Loves Karl”, this gender-neutral collection marks the brand’s most significant collaboration to date as it honours the pair’s longstanding friendship, constructed of mutual love and respect. Celebrating Lagerfeld and Delevingne’s shared philosophies and passions in their creatively authentic close friendship, this range features a variety of ready-to-wear clothing items and accessories, all crafted from more sustainable and premium materials.

Encouraging limitless self-expression, the range sees signature transformable pieces that offer numerous styling options in just one garment – also helping minimise the impact on fashion consumption and our planet. With inclusive sizes ranging from XXS to XXL, the collection introduces timeless tailoring, in the form of suits, shirts, gilets and structured tuxedo blazers, and fundamental transeasonal pieces including outerwear and iconic white shirts (reimagined as two-in-one items so you can remove or add details and accessories – as well as a reversibility option!) We also welcome denim separates that have been designed for a seamless combinations with casual jersey, logo-printed tees or oversized sweats made with organic and recycled materials. Moving over to accessories, which too are gender-neutral, a bumbag, satchel, beanies and belts all crafted from environmentally conscious materials, are highlighted as standout must-haves.

To celebrate the launch, the duo will star in an immersive 3D campaign as they interact as avatars in a digital playground – a first for the fashion industry. You may see these avatars pop up IRL as they make their debut on the brand’s social channels and illuminated on a large 3D screen in New York’s Times Square – appearing once every hour, so keep your eyes peeled! Not in New York this week? Don’t worry, as 15 CARA LOVES KARL shops will pop up around the globe, from Milan to Los Angeles.

Proud of the collection she created alongside the Karl Lagerfeld team, Cara Delevingne said: “Karl was, and still is, an extremely important influence in my life and I’m honored to have created this collection under his name. I believe that Karl would have been very proud of the sustainable, genderless direction we went with, and I like to imagine he even would have worn some of the pieces himself. I can’t wait to see how people wear all the different pieces we created.”

Our design process with Cara was extremely collaborative, and it was inspiring to hear her share her stories, ideas and anecdotes. We share a singular vision: clothes should build confidence, respect the planet, and look great — no matter who you are.

Hun Kim, Design Director of KARL LAGERFELD

Highlighting the uniqueness of the love that Karl and Cara had for each other, Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of KARL LAGERFELD said: “This is our most significant brand collaboration to date, and it embraces the values that Karl and Cara shared together — especially the courage to be your true self. It’s meaningful to us that it reflects the values at the heart of our brand, with a focus on sustainability, creative storytelling and self-expression.”
