Lesser Known Facts about Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld is the name best known for reinvigorating the brand Chanel and pushing it into creative and financial prosperity after the demise of its founder Coco Chanel. The designer is famous for his merciless wit coupled with a sharp tongue but there are some lesser known facts about him that you’d love skimming through. Take a look here:

1.      He was a polyglot and could fluently speak English, French, German and Italian.

2.      Lagerfeld finished his secondary school at the Lycée Montaigne in Paris, where he majored in drawing and history.

3.      He wanted to become a cartoonist, but he chose to pursue fashion instead because he thought he could make a living following a career in the latter.

4.      At his first job in 1955, Lagerfeld was an assistant to Pierre Balmain. He then went on to work with Fendi in 1967 and Chanel in 1983.

5.      The flamboyant designer had a personal butler who carried his favorite drink Pepsi in every party that he attended.

6.      He stayed away from alcohol because it made him sleepy and didn’t smoke a cigarette because he needed his hands for sketching.

7.      Lagerfeld didn’t like drinking water because it was not tasty.

12. Chanel’s style pattern exhibiting interlocked ‘CC’ was a brainchild of the man himself.
