UAnd then the museum also wanted a dress that no longer exists. But Anita Briey remembered, she still had the picture from the fashion show, and she knew Karl Lagerfeld so well that she just tailored it from memory. Now it hangs here: a black velvet dress with thick embroidery of a two-armed gold candlestick, a dress for autumn and winter 1985 that only a historically educated and satirically gifted fashion designer could bring to the stage. So he. And you.
Anita Briey stands at the cutting table in the Paris headquarters of the Karl Lagerfeld brand. Left Bank, 21 rue Saint-Guillaume, first floor on the left. Next door, Lagerfeld had his office, his drawings are still hanging on the wall, his pens are still on the desk. Actually, this is the executive office. But Pier Paolo Righi, who has been at the helm of the Karl Lagerfeld brand for more than a decade, is usually at the Amsterdam headquarters anyway. Now Anita, as they all call it, the tailor, rules the brand memory and sews and irons and embroiders and smooths and embroiders until everything is perfect, “parfait” before the journey begins.
