Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty | Exhibition Tour | The Metropolitan Museum of Art | June 2023

In this video, we visit the long-awaited exhibition Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, organized by the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The show examines the work of Karl Lagerfeld, focusing on the designer’s stylistic vocabulary as expressed in aesthetic themes that appear time and again in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019. The exhibition features approximately 150 pieces on display accompanied by Lagerfeld’s sketches, which underscore his complex creative process and the collaborative relationships with his premières or head seamstresses. Lagerfeld’s fluid lines united his designs for Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his eponymous label, Karl Lagerfeld, creating a diverse and prolific body of work unparalleled in the history of fashion.
