Karl Lagerfeld

The strange thing about Karl Lagerfeld (besides his bizarre German courtesan image) is that whilst his own collections are never particularly ground-breaking, his work at Fendi, and more notably for Chanel, has made him one of the most influential designers working today. From his runway show for Fendi on the Great Wall of China (yes, that really happened) to his catwalk merry-go-round of 10 foot tall jewellery for Chanel, this is a man with big ideas and the vision to put them into practice.
