Karl Largefeld!!!

Karl Largerfeld is one of my favourite designers. I am however more interested in his early work. Everything he made was a big statement piece, yet his designs are very feminine. When I think of Karl Largerfeld I think of the 1980's and the opulance that the era represented. Karl Largerfeld costume jewellery is beautiful and richly decorated with luxurious materials. Large Faux pearls, heavy rolled gold bases, supple leathers, are just a few things used to create his timeless creations.

Karl Largerfeld's creativity draws on a wealth of inspirations. He has used an ordinary chair as inspiration for this charm bracelet. The cuff looks like an ornate photo frame and I imagine some ancient royal treasure was the inspiration for the choker and earrings.

Vintage Largerfeld for me, evokes that feeling of luxury not found in today's retail experience. It is very sad but today most of what is produced lacks individuality. It is mass produced and even among retailers there is no point of difference. By that I mean, once Myer and David Jones were very different. Myer and David Jones had a definite point of difference that no longer exists in todays retail.

Shopping for vintage is fun- you can pick up something that almost no one else will have. I have several beautiful examples of Karl Largerfeld right now I hope you like them.
