Substitution: Lagerfeld

Fashion's Forward Star Sketches Himself Into the Game

In his (hardly abundant) free time between designing for Chanel, Fendi and his own eponymous line, Karl Lagerfeld is a keen photographer and illustrator. Here “Fashion’s greatest Renaissance man,” as SEPP magazine’s co-editor Godfrey Deeny calls the German legend, offers his own graphic take on the 2010 World Cup for the fifth issue of the football-fashion publication, sketching several of the great talents on display in South Africa: UK’s Wayne Rooney, Argentina’s Lionel Messi and the Ivorian Didier Drogba. But surely the flashiest player in the set, with that signature élan, tall collar and shades, is Lagerfeld himself. See Karl Kick.
