"One fine morning I woke up and decided that I was no longer happy with my physique. Although I was overweight, I had gotten along fine and had no health problems. But I suddenly wanted to dress differently, to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane….But these fashions, modeled by very, very slim boys—and not men of my age—required me to lose at least eighty pounds....I did not think that it was possible to lose so much weight in one year....[But] in fact, it took me exactly thirteen months." —Karl Lagerfeld "Karl Lagerfeld’s case is spectacular as it shows how it is possible, through determination and willpower, to return to a harmonious balance even when excess weight is of a long-standing, deeply ingrained nature. I hope that many will be inspired by the example of the slimmed-down, elegant, and indefatigable Karl Lagerfeld to lose either the few pounds they feel should be sacrificed for their happiness or the several dozen pounds that are detrimental to their survival." —Dr. Jean-Claude Houdret The Karl Lagerfeld Diet, developed exclusively for Karl Lagerfeld by Dr. Jean-Claude Houdret, reveals the secret techniques of Lagerfeld’s amazing weight loss regimen. By first addressing the mental and behavioral causes of varying degrees of obesity, this book provides valuable insights and useful tips for preparing the mind and developing the willpower necessary to commit to this diet. It then provides one hundred twenty gourmet recipes devised by Dr. Houdret, which cover breakfast, soups, starters and salads, eggs, seafood and fish, meat, pasta and pizza, vegetables, sauces, and desserts. Topping it off, Lagerfeld provides his personal tips for staying slim, attractive, and fit with additional chapters on skin care procedures, cosmetic treatments and surgery, general medical care, stress management, giving up tobacco, sleep, and exercise. Both an instructional guide and a motivational coach, The Karl Lagerfeld Diet is the ultimate accessory for healthy living.

À plus de soixante ans, le couturier Karl Lagerfeld décide de changer radicalement d'apparence et de se "redéfinir". Il entame un régime conçu par le médecin Jean-Claude Houdret. Le résultat est spectaculaire: au bout d'un an seulement, il a perdu 42 kilos et peut porter la première taille existant en confection masculine! Ce ne sont ni des problèmes de santé ni une image dépréciée de soi qui ont poussé Karl Lagerfeld à maigrir. Il voulait simplement devenir un "cintre" idéal de 60 kilos pour 1,80 m. Retrouver un plaisir à porter des vêtements que les stylistes qu'il aime ont créés... Le Dr Jean-Claude Houdret explique dans cet ouvrage les principes fondamentaux de sa méthode et propose plus de 120 recettes variées, conçues pour les gourmets. Un programme dermatologique – compléments de phytothérapie, oligo-éléments, crèmes esthétiques – accompagne la méthode. Programme grâce auquel Karl Lagerfeld, malgré l'énorme perte de poids, n'a dû subir aucune opération esthétique.Avec l'humour et la distance qu'on lui connaît, Karl Lagerfeld fait partager son enthousiasme et raconte une expérience qui a marqué pour lui une nouvelle étape dans sa création. En plus du long entretien par lequel débute l'ouvrage, photos, commentaires et croquis de Karl Lagerfeld illustrent ce livre de régime "pas comme les autres".

For decades the king of Paris fashion, Karl Lagerfeld is an artist whose work comes to life in front of the camera. But what happens when this legendary designer steps behind the lens? Magic, mystery, and more, as is evidenced by this volume of beautiful, sensual, and imaginative images that reveals an entirely new dimension to Lagerfeld’s genius. Spanning all aspects of the genre from classic to avant-garde, these photographs—many of which have never before been published—recall the work of Atget, Richter, and Peter Lindbergh. Scenes of Paris streets and buildings, fashion models, celebrities, nudes, still-lives, and other objects of beauty provide insight into Lagerfeld’s aesthetic. And his discerning eye captures the life of high fashion, while also possessing a reverence for the unexpected moment. Known for his exacting demands when designing and producing clothing, Lagerfeld is an equally precise photographer. His technical skills, use of lighting, and sense of composition rival that of his most accomplished contemporaries. Anyone new to the talents of Karl Lagerfeld will discover a practiced and often surprising sensibility, while his many fans will delight in the designer’s newest collection, one that exposes him truly to be a man of many talents.

The supermodel phenomenon has captured the 90s all over the globe, surpassing everyknown form of star cult. Peter Lindbergh, German photographer living in Paris, made a major contribution to the optical creation of this worldwide myth. The most beautiful and most celebrated supermodels owe many of their best photographs to Peter Lindbergh’s creativity, perception, and particularly his sensitive camera eye. 
In his first book Ten Women, published in 1996, Peter Lindbergh has devoted one chapter to each of his most beautiful young women: Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kristen McMenamy, Kate Moss, Tatjana Patitz, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Amber Valetta. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld wrote a short foreword to the book, not devoid of a streak of melancholy. Argentinian star designer Juan Gatti composed the orderly format of this publication, now available in a softcover reprint.

With his Big Nudes, in the 1980s Helmut Newton created a quite unprecedented long-term bestseller. Simultaneously, it provided a concentrated image of his aesthetic agenda. Powerful women were presented in all their naked truth without fig leaves or fashion frills. This series of black-and-white photos, produced between 1979 and 1981, also marked a stylistic change in Newton's work. Elaborate layouts full of luxury and decadence gave way to an unambiguously formulated and monumental statement "Here they come!" Dressed only in their indispensable high heels, Newton's amazons selfconfidently paraded on show. They rippled their muscles and marched individually as well as in formation toward the observer. Helmut Newton's classic work was published by us in 1990 for the first time.

The Chanel Mobile Art Container is an extraordinary traveling exhibition space built by architect Zaha Hadid at the invitation of Chanel helmsman Karl Lagerfeld. This book collects Lagerfeld's black-and-white photographs of the container, taken during its tour of Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York in 2008. The fluid architecture of this mobile, collapsible exhibition pod is echoed in Lagerfeld's images, which abstract the structure into a series of white curves and grey planes silhouetted against a black sky. The art inside, by some 20 international artists--including Yoko Ono, Stephen Shore and Sophie Calle--was inspired by the elements that give the Chanel bag its identity. Sylvie Fleury, for instance, lined an entire room in leather, creating the sensation of being able to walk inside the iconic purse. Included are three DVDs with amazing footage of the container against the backdrops of Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York.

"Images left behind are in the end stronger than truth and facts. Through Douglas Kirkland's images we can imagine what the famous Coco had been all about before she became the formidable Chanel," muses Karl Lagerfeld in Mademoiselle, a selection of photographs of Chanel taken by Douglas Kirkland in 1962 on assignment in Paris for the American magazine Look. Lagerfeld is the designer currently at the helm of the Parisian fashion house, made iconic by designer Coco Chanel during her long reign, from 1909-1971--and the designer of this handsome edition as well. Through his introduction and captions to these photographs, we understand how important Chanel's image has been to the success of the century-old French couture line. Kirkland, a Los Angeles-based photographer famous for his portrayals of Chanel and Marilyn Monroe, gives us a glimpse of the sympathetic character beneath the hard-working fashion doyenne's ever-impeccable exterior, with his elegant shots of Mademoiselle leaving her suite at the Ritz Hotel, in her apartment and studio at 31 rue Cambon and watching a runway show from the apartment's famous mirrored staircase.

Work in Progress is a survey of Karl Lagerfeld's photography, showcasing Lagerfeld's phenomenal range and versatility from his beginnings as a photographer in 1987 to his most recent work. This book is the long anticipated English version of the now sold-out Parcours de Travail which accompanied an exhibition of the same name at the Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris in 2010. Work in Progress shows Lagerfeld moving sleekly between genres such as portraiture, architecture and landscape, with the same restlessness with which he experiments with both rare and progressive photographic techniques including algraphy, serigraphy, resinotypes and sepia prints. Unchanging, however, is Lagerfeld's fascination with interpreting and reinventing the work of other artists and writers, be it Oskar Schlemmer, Fritz Lang, Lyonel Feininger or Alexej von Jawlensky, to name just a few. Work in Progress is testament to Lagerfeld's unparalleled photographic achievement to date as well as a promise that the best is still to come.
