Karl Lagerfeld at Pitti Uomo

Having conquered Cuba, Karl Lagerfeld has landed at Pitti Uomo in Florence. This time, though, Lagerfeld’s show is taking place off the runway: Palazzo Pitti is hosting “Karl Lagerfeld – Visions of Fashion,” his exhibition of over 200 portraits, many previously unseen, from today until October 23rd. Alongside outtakes from both Chanel and Fendi campaigns, there’s also plenty of familiar faces like Freja Beha, Mariacarla Boscono, and Linda Evangelista, not to mention Karl’s no. 1 muse: himself. Get a look inside, here.
