If there's one thing I like about Karl Lagerfeld, it's his consistency. No matter where he is, what time of the day or what occasion, he looks the same.
His palette is always black and white, hair tied back in a ponytail, eyes behind a pair of dark glasses, and his signature high collar.
If he was an advertising campaign, he'd be an excellent one because of one quality - consistency. A good campaign is recognizable wherever and whenever you see it, and that's what Karl Lagefeld is.
As everyone knows, a Chanel would set you back tens and thousands of dollars. But thanks to The Landmark, I found a look that channels Karl Lagerfeld, and it costs less than a thousand pesos. In fact, this ensemble costs only P560.00!
The look is more inspired than Karl rather than copied from him. I just took certain elements that he's known for, then reinterpreted it in a way that's more fun and feminine. That's the reason why this look is just black and white, following suit from his signature colors. (Or non-colors, if you will.)
Instead of a tuxedo top and trousers, this look is a top and a skirt, both in black. The top is a sleeveless, tailored blouse which fits in with Karl's tailored look.
Here's the detail of the top that I like. It has a standing collar, similar to Karl's trademark. It's also rendered in black which adds to the effect.
This detail alone makes the look very Karl, and the black and white dotted skirt adds femininity to the entire ensemble.
I'm not sure if Karl will be pleased, but with a look this chic for less than P500, I certainly am.
