Karl Lagerfeld has grown a beard, but the fashion crowd is divided on his new look
It’s official: Karl Lagerfeld has switched up his world-renowned aesthetic for the first time in two decades.
The mastermind at the helm of Chanel and Fendi may be famous for his penchant for motorcycle-inspired gloves, a peppered white ponytail, and tinted sunnies, but the fashion mogul surprised the front row with a new accessory earlier this week.
Yes, Lagerfeld debuted a (surprisingly) untamed beard at the Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2018 show as he grabbed a seat beside the likes of Robert Pattinson and Bella Hadid.
And it was close friend and journalist Suzy Menkes who alerted the fashion world to his transformation as she joked: “So KARL has an exciting new facial accessory. But TRAGICALLY I cannot copy it…”
But his look has divided the internet, as fashion followers took to Twitter to debate his latest accessory:
I’ve just saw Karl Lagerfeld w/ beard, am I the only one who’s freakin out?
