Inspired by sunlit days on the boulevards of Paris, the KARL LAGERFELD Spring-Summer 2025 Womenswear collection is the epitome of relaxed refinement. Rising temperatures encourage everyone to spend long afternoons on café terraces; for the occasion, the signature look reinvents timeless classics with a fashion-forward twist that’s cool and current. Tailoring essentials are modernized with fluid fabrics, while accessories are defined by craftsmanship and creativity. This is a new season wardrobe the KARL way: chic, sophisticated and effortlessly elegant.
To open the collection, Paris’ iconic café culture inspires an elevated update to casual-chic dressing. Sophisticated suiting and seamlines are combined with lace details and pops of mint green. There’s an understated nod to an urban safari, albeit in a feminine way: neutral khaki tones meet lightweight linen materials and flat pocket details. Bold floral appliqués are a key motif of the season, making a playful statement across tops, dresses and bodysuits. Accessories are functionally designed for women on the go, with soft structures, subtle logos and easy-to-wear pieces. The K/KUILT is available in a neutral nougat shade, while the K/FOREVER has a new oil green tone. The K/AUTOGRAPH is reimagined in a summer-approved raffia with gold hardware, while the K/CIRCLE features a whipstitch detail and the new K/PILLOW group has a textural, puffy appearance.
Preparing for a street party, KARL celebrates the annual Fête de la Musique festival. Embroideries and embellishments match the electric atmosphere, with beautiful broderie anglaise and floral prints. Fluid tailoring and sheer fabrics are ideal for warm weather, with feminine floral prints and pop-over jackets. Next to KARL’s trademark black and white are the ultimate high summer colors, like hibiscus red and ultramarine blue. Accessories include spacious bucket shapes, raffia textures and the favorite IKON/K in new silhouettes. For after-hours wear, glamorous evening bags are topped with sequins and rhinestones that sparkle under the moonlight.
KARL LAGERFELD X JORGE PARRA
The Spring-Summer 2025 season features a capsule created in collaboration with Jorge Parra, a renowned Spanish designer and illustrator. His original hand-drawn sketches are inspired by “Café de Karl,” with nods to Choupette, Karl’s signature ponytail, Paris coffee culture, and the iconic Maison KARL LAGERFELD at 21 Rue Saint-Guillaume. The whimsically chic range includes a denim jacket, t-shirts and sweatshirts, complemented by accessories like a canvas shopper and a hat.
KARL LAGERFELD STUDIO X JOANN
This season’s KARL LAGERFELD STUDIO collection includes a collaboration with Joann, an Armenian artist and creative director who is known for AI-generated design. The statement pieces are inspired by a fusion of architecture and nature, which results in unexpected finishes like dramatic pleating, ruffles and sharp seamlines across dresses, blouses, a tunic, a blazer and pants. A clean black and white palette further punctuates the look with bold contrasts. Accessories include a large, medium and nano bracelet bag in contrast black and white leather.
The KARL LAGERFELD STUDIO collection features the pinnacle pieces of KARL LAGERFELD’s atelier, fusing iconic heritage and savoir-faire with luxe materials and artisanal craftsmanship.
