As the latest member to join the TEAM KARL Family, the multi-talented actress, model, singer, writer and activist Cara Delevingne has co-created a capsule collection with gender-neutral styles that feature sustainable materials, launched in September 2022.

The collaboration is inspired by the mutual love between Karl Lagerfeld and Cara. More than simple colleagues, Karl and Cara had an incredibly special bond that went far beyond the bounds of the muse-and-artist relationship — one based on mutual love and respect, and of course the charismatic joie de vivre they both shared.

“I am so proud of the collection I have created along with the incredibly talented team at KARL LAGERFELD,” Cara shares. “Karl was, and still is, an extremely important influence in my life and I'm honored to have created this collection under his name. I believe that Karl would have been very proud of the sustainable, genderless direction we went with, and I like to imagine he even would have worn some of the pieces himself. I can’t wait to see how people wear all the different pieces we created.”

Karl loved and appreciated Cara, finding her brave and daring, once noting “She’s a character. She’s the Charlie Chaplin of the fashion world. She’s a kind of genius, like a character out of a silent movie.” For her part, Cara admired and idolized Karl as a true mentor and confidant who gave her the courage and freedom to be herself, “He believed in me when so many others didn’t, including myself. He was a visionary, a genius, but more than that… a dear friend.”

“I’m honored to be able to partner with the only fashion house that carries Karl’s name and get the chance to make a personal contribution to his legacy. It’s been great to share my ideas with the creative team, have a say in the designs, and just have some fun in the process.”
