The exhibition will be on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 5-July 16. Many of the objects will be accompanied by the designer’s sketches, which underscore his complex creative process and trace the evolution of his fashions from two-dimensional drawings to three-dimensional garments realized through the collaborative relationships with his premières.

“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” will explore the German designer’s stylistic vocabulary as it was expressed in through lines-aesthetic themes that appear time and again-in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019 and spotlight his unique working methodology.Īpproximately 150 pieces will be on view, spanning Lagerfeld’s career as the creative director of Chanel, Chloé, Fendi and his eponymous label, as well as his time at Balmain and Patou.
