Karl Lagerfeld has collaborated with English model, actress, singer, writer and activist Cara Delevingne on an upcoming collection Cara Loves Karl Loves Cara. “He believed in me when so many others didn’t, including myself. He was a visionary, a genius, but more than that, a dear friend," Delevingne said.

“One of the biggest lessons I learned from Karl was to be myself. To trust my instincts. To not conform. Hearing that from him changed the course of my life." She added that she is "honoured to be able to partner with the only fashion house that carries Karl’s name and get the chance to make a personal contribution to his legacy. It’s been great to share my ideas with the creative team, have a say in the designs and just have some fun in the process."

Cara will work with Karl Lagerfeld design director Hun Kim on the collection, focusing on "inclusive, gender-neutral pieces" and featuring sustainable materials. The collection is slated to launch in September 2022
