The Belgian-born American designer is known for the iconic wrap dress which she designed and launched in 1972, selling one million pieces in just four years. This success has made her famous all over the world.

In 2005, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She was named president of this important structure in fashion in 2006.

What is Design Concept

a. WHAT ?

 A design concept is the idea behind a design.

 It’s how you plan on solving the design problem in front of you.

 It’s the underlying logic, thinking, and reasoning for how you’ll design a website. 

 Your concept will lead to your choices in color and type.

 It’ll choose your aesthetic and determine your grid. 

 Every design decision you make will fall back on your concept for direction.

  Your design concept becomes the framework for all your design decisions.

 – Steven Bradley, 2013.

b. HOW ?

Create a concept : 

Design Brief ;Once the basic needs are identified, you then prepare what’s called a design brief. 

A design brief is a clear statement of objectives for the project, listed in order of priority.

The brief indicates how you plan to meet those objectives and includes a timeframe in which each step will be accomplished. 

The brief explains in detail what the design steps are as well as explain the approval and edit cycles which are part of the overall process

Direction ;Even if you’re clear about what you’re designing and why, 

your plan also will be defined by your budget.

Sketching Out the Idea ;While you may not yet have the complete concept totally finalized in your mind,

 it’s time to start transferring snippets and ideas from

 your brain to the page (and, yes, we do mean a piece of paper, not a page on the computer screen).

 From your first drawings, approaches will emerge that will lead you to your final design. 

That’s the essence of concept development—taking your thoughts and ideas and putting them down on paper.

Example : Many elements of fashion run in cycles, some being short, and some lasting longer.

Typical to these cycles are:

 -Lengths , Fabrics, Silhouettes, Colours, Historical Inuences 

  Karl Lagerfeld opened his first concept store in Paris

Karl Lagerfeld opened his first concept store in the stylish and well-known area, St. Germain (194 Boulevard) in Paris on March 1, 2013. For Karl Lagerfeld, the seventh district is the “fashion center of the world”; he says he cannot find another place more suitable than this area for opening his first store in Europe.

 The shop window shows that Karl has mixed the modern, classic and luxury  elements as his source of inspiration. Black and white colors, mirrors and the humorous Karl Lagerfeld cartoon dolls in the shop attract all types of fashion lovers

 Menswear, womenswear and accessories are the main products provided in the store. Plus the well-known Lagerfeld style  accessories such as sunglasses, detachable collars or watches are displayed on the prominent  desks. Moreover, the photo albums and books of the designer  allow you to find novelty and surprising fashion ideas.

in the dressing rooms there are  some digital touch screens, the customer will have the opportunity to capture their photos in Karl’s style, and share their different looks on Facebook, Twitter and through email .

Design Philosophy 

What does others say about the designer’s work / style:
 Magnus Berger "What I found really interesting about the last show season in Paris, it’s almost this epidemic of referencing the Nineties, and a lot looks the same, even the editors. With a few exceptions, the ones who are supposed to be pushing for new things, they’re all wearing the same things"





What did the designer says his philosophyin design is :
   “My job is not just to design clothes but to also give a new vision to fashion,”
