The World According to Karl
My admiration for this man, this mysterious man who has spent years hiding behind a pair of dark glasses, seeing the world without being seen, dates back many years.
Master of the seam, has the ability to break paradigms and modernize the classic without losing its essence, and for someone like me who dreamed about being a very successful fashion designer was an enviable quality as each collection under his command is something completely different, unexpected, fabulous and elegant.
The most curious thing about Karl is that he is not only an extremely talented designer, but through the years has become a brand, an icon, the uncle of all fashion freaks and one of the most multifaceted people in the industry. As a well stablished designer, photographer and filmmaker I would call him the cornucopia of art in the fashion scene.
This book "The World According To Karl" is one that I love, because it summarizes all his iconic quotes impregnated with his characteristic attitude, a little proud, never modest, with a pinch of sincereness and a base of confidence that we love about him.
Don't you love to read phrases perfectly describing your mood or simply inspiring?
That is what every single one of this sayings does to me. Some of them are just too good to be truth and I've decided to share them with you! Hope you like them!
