Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue, said of Mr. Lagerfeld when presenting him with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards in 2015.
...
Karl Lagerfeld was born Karl Otto Lagerfeldt in Hamburg, Germany. While the famous fashion designer has never revealed the exact date of his birth, it's believed he was born on September 10, 1933. Often lauded for his constant reinvention, he removed the "t" at the end of his last name early in his career in order to make it sound "more commercial."
From an early age, Lagerfeld expressed an interest in design and fashion. As a child he often cut out pictures from fashion magazines and he was also known to be critical of what others wore to school.
Sensing his future lay elsewhere, 14-year-old Lagerfeld made the bold decision, with the blessing of his parents, to move to Paris. He'd been there just two years when he submitted a series of sketches and fabric samples to a design competition. He ended up taking first place in the coat category and meeting another winner, Yves Saint Laurent, who would become a close friend.
Soon, Lagerfeld had full-time work with French designer Pierre Balmain, first as a junior assistant, and later as an apprentice.
Good work soon followed, with Lagerfeld designing collections for Chloe, Fendi (where he was brought on to oversee the company's fur line) and others. Lagerfeld became known in the fashion industry for his innovative, in-the-moment styles.
At Chanel in the early 1980s he did what few thought possible: He returned what was perceived to be a near-dead brand back to life with a revamped ready-to-wear fashion line. He took its heritage of tweed, fringing, camellias and pearls and - with a large dose of irreverence -reinvented it for the times.
Rue St-Guillaume Bucket Bag
A fashionable bag in a new shape adds playful lines to chic or casual looks.
The versatility of the bucket bag is guaranteed thanks to the optional shoulder strap and the famous KARL address logo on the front is that little something that really made the bag feel extra special.

KARL LAGERFELD X L'ORÉAL PARIS VOLUME MASCARA
...
The brand Moschino was originally created in 1983 by the late Franco Moschino and became famous for his innovative, colorful – sometimes eccentric – designs, for his love of fairies, for his criticisms of the fashion industry and for his social awareness campaigns in the early 1990s. Today the creative director of the company is American fashion designer Jeremy Scott.
Love Moschino was born in 2008: a playful, vibrant and super chic line, a sort of minor sister of the main brand. Designed for men and women (and even a child line) who like to break the rules of dress code and build their own personal and unconventional style.
Love Moschino therefore retains all the creative, intelligent and ironic character of Moschino, but it blends with all the values of “love”: empathy and feeling. A universal, positive word, recognized throughout the world that seems to bring new energy to a brand that was already well established and appreciated.
What are its distinctive features? Pop art prints, hearts, golden chains, maxi lettering and bright colours. The ironic, surprising and irreverent style, which saw its maximum expression thanks to the creative genius of Jeremy Scott.
Prices of the Love Moschino line are definitely cheaper than Moschino couture line and it allows everyone to wear the creations of this colourful and iconic brand.
Details about my second Christmas present:
Love Moschino Shiny Quilted shoulder bag
Glittery Eyes
Emerald Smokey Eye
Bold Lip
Dramatic Wing
I love a good winged eye look any day of the year and this same look is easy to accentuate for special occasions, such as a big holiday party! If you are already used to winging out your eyeliner, this look should be rather simple for you. You simply just emphasis the outline so it creates a really nice defined swoop – or opt for a thicker wing!
Lashes for Days
Natural Glow
Touch Of Plaid
Not all holiday looks need to incorporate solid red into them. Red plaid prints manage to look cheery and bright whether that’s a mini skirt, coat, or flannel top. Add a red plaid coat or blazer over your favourite blouse and leather skirt – pants are cool too. This particular combo is one that will take you from day to night anytime throughout the holiday season.

Dark Glam
If you cannot help but gravitate towards black for any occasion, here is your outfit inspiration. You can still get into the holiday spirit in an all black outfit by incorporating fun details, some sparkle or some chic accessories. This little black dress is one of my favourite and it is anything but boring.

All The Way
My attention was caught by The Enchanted Beauty Makeup Set available in two different colourways. The Unbearably Glam Makeup Set is blue themed of packaging, but the Foxy Neutrals is pink. Each of the two sets - Unbearably Glam Makeup Set and Foxy Neutrals Makeup Set includes an eyeshadow palette with 12 multi-finish shades, a miniature mascara and also a blush and highlight duo.
Foxy Neutrals Makeup Set Includes:
- Eyeshadows in Oh What Fun!, Ginger Snatched, Last Christmas, Lump Of Coal, Jingle Jangle, Chimney, Drummer Girl, Better Not Pout, Elfed Up, Claus Out, Cookie Butter, Lady Bells
- Here For The Hos Blush
- Angel Frostbite Highlighter
- Damn Girl Mascara in Black
Have you tried either of these mascaras before? Which one are you leaning towards? If you haven’t tried either I would love to know your current go-to as I’m always looking out for new ones to try.
The New Too Faced Christmas Holiday Collection really has something for everyone. Although there is some repetition with colours and products there is a lot of originality in the collections as well! See the whole Christmas range of 2020 here.
Happy holiday shopping!
