Karl Lagerfeld

Karl (Otto) Lagerfeld (born September 10, 1938 (according to some sources 1933) in Hamburg, Germany) is widely recognized as one of the most influential fashion designers of the late twentieth century. He made his name as an independent creator who collaborated with a variety of different fashion labels, including Chloe, Fendi and Chanel. In the early 1980s he set up his own label, called Lagerfeld, which launched perfumes and clothing lines. He has also played a role in equipping leading artists.

Weight loss

Lagerfeld is also famous for a dramatic transformation of his body, when he lost around 80 pounds (36 kg) in one year. ?I suddenly wanted to dress differently, to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane,? he said. ?But these fashions, modeled by very, very slim boys—and not men my age—required me to lose at least eighty pounds. It took me exactly thirteen months.?

The diet was created specially for Lagerfeld by Dr. Jean-Claude Houdret, which led to a book called The Karl Lagerfeld Diet.
