As of today, a capsule collection from
Karl by Karl Lagerfeld has been made available for sale exclusively at
net-a-porter.com.
There are just 5 dresses which comprise this new collection, and only 50 models are available of each. Prices start at about £660 (it seems I won't be touching his 'premium' line,
Karl Lagerfeld Paris, any time soon) but on the plus side you do get a signed sketch by Karl like this one:
Now I do realise that these pieces are not in a sale, but I've noticed that the prices in euros (I'm currently in Grenoble) and pounds sterling are practically the same! This means that for example, if you bought the beaded organza dress below for 4500 euros instead of £4,400, you'd save yourself about £800! With which you could buy the cotton-blend one! Then with the £140 you save from that you can buy someone else, and it just goes on and on. Genius I think.
Take a look:

| Beaded organza dress, £4,415 |
 |
| Cotton-blend jersey and tulle tuxedo gown, £785 |
 |
| Sequin-embellished faux suede dress, £1,765 |
 |
Tulle and mess-lace mini dress, £1,080

The original collection was released in January, when net-a-porter created this video to accompany it. I love the rather dramatic reporter, and the cut scene of people relaxing on a beach to illustrate 'Karl mania reaching a phenomenal climax'!
