Collaging an Image

The designer that inspires me is Karl Lagerfeld. I love his sense of fashion and his different collections. Karl Lagerfeld is a German fashion designer, photographer and costumer. He started his career in France in the 1950s. He creates his own collections for women and men since 1974. Lagerfeld is also the creative director of the French fashion boutique Chanel. That caused him an international billion concern.

In my opinion are the different collections he designed stunning. He has a talent for patterns and posh. Karl Lagerfeld also gets inspired by different cultures for example Greece.I also like about his fashion that some collections   are wearable in our everyday lives.

For those reasons I based my collages on him. I printed a model wearing his dress and added white paper to design different outfits. My pieces look extravagant and in combination with Lagerfeld's model it appears also glamorous.

At first I did not like the task because I thought it was waste but as I finished designing my first collage I liked my outcome and I learned that it is important to look at other designers as well. It is not about coming up with new fashion trends it is about looking around and getting inspired by everything. But it is necessary to develope an own handwriting and do not copy it from someone else.
