While Karl Lagerfeld was famous for being at the very center 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.Following an introduction by Patrick Mauriès, each house is introduced by a short text by Marie Kalt unveiling the history of Lagerfelds homes while identifying key designers and pieces.
From his elegant art decoinspired apartment in Saint-Sulpice, Paris, to the incredibly ornate eighteenth-century mansion Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo, Lagerfelds houses reveal he was a collector on a Renaissance scale as they showcase his spectacular range. Lagerfeld balanced the old with the new and moved from one atmosphere to the next, leaving a Memphis-designed apartment in Monte Carlo for a grand tourthemed Roman pied-à-terre, followed by bucolic French country houses and even a majestic Nordic villa in his native Hamburg.Karl Lagerfeld: A Life in Houses
