Is Lagerfeld Slumming It? (H & M)

Stockholm,

Karl Lagerfeld, taste maker for premium brands including Chanel and Fendi is now designing for those of us hit by the economic downturn... Swedish retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H & M) is THE place for KL's latest creations... we kid you not!

 

The question on every fashionista's lips is whether Lagerfeld has abandoned his traditional high-end clientele in favor of the great unwashed, who will be able to wear his tops, dresses and turtleneck sweaters this fall.

 
Not at all, says the revered 65-year-old designer with a penchant for ponytails, sunglasses and deep, dark, tropical tans. He's just moving with the tide as he sees it, taking his talent to where the fashion current's flowing.

"Because people who buy Chanel and other expensive things buy there, too," he said in an interview. "For me, this is fashion today. People wear t-shirts and jeans with exceptional things."

 

Look for his limited line to appear in H & M stores this month of November.
