A compendium of Karl Lagerfeld's early photographs. Lagerfeld took up photography in the late 1980s. It stemmed from a childhood desire to capture portraits, alongside a wish to control the process of fashion creation from initial sketch to final advertisement. Collected here are a series of portraits of friends and fashion photographs.
