Every first Monday in May, the Met Gala showcases its “superbowl of fashion”. We expect this year’s 2023 theme, “
Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” to honor the fashion designer in a big way. The designer’s passing in 2019 left a huge void in the fashion world and honoring him at fashion’s biggest night will live up to all its hype. After the Met Gala is over, we thought a book would be one great way to keep Lagerfeld’s memory alive!
Penguin Random House’s “Where’s Karl?” (15.99 Bergdorf Goodman), is a fashion-forward parody, by Stacey Caldwell and Ajiri A. Aki, that takes readers on an adventure around the world with Karl Lagerfeld, as he travels to different cities for fashion shows, events, and photo shoots. Michelle Baron’s illustrations of iconic landmarks and fashionable characters challenged readers to find Karl in each scene.

The book is not only entertaining but also educational, as readers learn about different cities and their unique cultures. “Where’s Karl?” is a perfect coffee table book for fashion enthusiasts and travelers alike, and it is sure to provide hours of entertainment and inspiration.
