In VOGUE: The 1990s | Episode 4: Karl Lagerfeld and The Role of Creative Director

We’re excited to bring you a new series from Vogue -- In Vogue: The 1990s. If you miss the 90s for all its nostalgia, fashion, and culture, you're going to love this episode on Karl Lagerfeld.

Karl Lagerfeld reinvented the role of designer as a creative director, rather than just an in-house couturier. That model, which is standard today, came to wider prominence in the 90’s — a shift which will be perhaps his most lasting legacy. Lagerfeld channeled the zeitgeist and made fundamental changes to the production and marketing of every house he worked at, but most famously, Karl reinvigorated the legendary house of Chanel. His success at Chanel became the blueprint for creative directors of legacy fashion houses. Episode 4: Karl Lagerfled & The Role of Creative Director features guest interviews with Amanda Harlech, Anna Wintour, Kim Jenkins, Eric Wright, Tom Ford, and Claudia Schiffer. From Vogue’s Editorial team: Laird Borelli-Persson and Mark Holgate.
