Paris is holding its biannual antiques fair, the Biennale des Antiquaires, at the Grand Palais from September 14 to 23. For the 26th edition of the Biennale, designer Karl Lagerfeld is decorating and creating the visuals for the event.

Evoking Fendi’s Italian heritage, Karl Lagerfeld captured Joan Smalls near olive trees in Chiant, Italy for the Fall 2012 campaign styled by Charlotte Stockdale.

Just last month Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld announced he was teaming up with Japanese beauty giant Shu Uemura on a one-off beauty line, and the designer has now unveiled a teaser showcasing the collection’s mascot.

Karl Lagerfeld, also known for owning an impressive library has launched in collaboration with Wallpaper magazine “a perfume that smells like books!”

The magazine asked German publisher Gerhard Steidl to work with avant-garde perfumer Geza Schoen to try and bottle that scent — while Karl Lagerfeld came on board to design the packaging and come up with the name “Paper Passion”.

Karl Lagerfeld will launch his Olympics-inspired line at Selfridges on July 24, three days before the Opening Ceremonies in London.

Lagerfeld will attend an exclusive party at the London department store that evening to kick-off his exclusive shops within the store.

A womenswear space will pop-up on the third floor, where the capsule collection of clothing and accessories will sell underneath the banner labeled “Team Karl.”
