The first publication dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld's glamorous
homes, known for their eclectic interiors, ranging from the Art
Deco to the ultramodern. While Karl Lagerfeld was famous for being
at the very centre of the fashion industry for over half a century,
he was equally opinionated when it came to interiors, which acted
as a private creative outlet alongside his fashion designs.
Following an introduction by Patrick Mauriès, each house is
introduced by a short text by Marie Kalt unveiling Lagerfeld's
homes’ history and identifying key designers and pieces. From the
elegant Art-Deco inspired apartment in Saint-Sulpice, Paris, to the
incredibly ornate 18th-century mansion, Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo (his
muse and collaborator Amanda Harlech described Lagerfeld as having
‘a Versailles complex’) – Lagerfeld’s houses reveal he was
a collector of a Renaissance scale, and showed spectacular range in
his decorating styles. Lagerfeld would balance the old with the
new, humorously describing the minimalist decor of his 200-year old
apartment in Quai Voltaire, Paris as ‘like floating in your own
spaceship over a very civilised past’, and moved from one
atmosphere to the next, leaving a Memphis-designed apartment in
Monte Carlo for a Grand-Tour themed Roman pied-Ã -terre,
followed by bucolic French country houses and even a majestic
Nordic villa in his native Hamburg. Presented in a large, elegant
format, Karl Lagerfeld: A Life in Houses will be a rich source of
inspiration for those interested in interior design, and will
appeal to fans of the decorative arts and the fashion designer
himself.
Our life experiences are meant to be shared with others in an
effort to let them know that they're not going through life alone
and that God is real. Footprints in the Sand, My Date with God, and
Prayer Changes things are only a few of the insightful poems from
my personal journey found in my latest book, Sunflower Poetry
"Seeds for the Soul." These seeds are intended to enlighten,
encourage and empower you to grow and do greater things.
