Karl Lagerfeld teams with rising star Kaia Gerber for new essentials line

Karl Lagerfeld has joined forces with up-and-coming model Kaia Gerber
for a new collection of Parisian inspired essentials combined with Los
Angeles flair.

The 16-year-old, who is the daughter of Cindy
Crawford and Rande Gerber, and the German designer and Chanel creative
director are set to release the line next week, which features
ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear, sunglasses and jewelry. Among the
essential pieces are tuxedo blazers, biker jackets and little black
dresses.

“I have loved being a part of the creative process and
working with Karl is a dream,” Kaia Gerber said in a press release for the
brand. “I’ve always thought that he’s a genius, so it’s amazing that he’s
shown me some of his trade. It has given me a new appreciation for how hard
designers work, and how much creativity and thought goes into every
collection.”

The Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia collection can be purchased
exclusively on Karl.COM and Revolve.com for two weeks and
from September 14 at various online stores and Karl Lagerfeld retailers.

Since making her runway debut last year, Gerber has represented new
lines for several brands. In February, she teamed with Lagerfeld on a
Chanel campaign and headlined collections for Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang
and Prada.
