La Mode, Ça Fait Quelque Chose: We met Karl

Yes and Yes! We met Karl Lagerfeld in Selfridges on 24th of July around 8 pm. My friend and I, we had waited for almost 5 hours. As a result, we got to know every single corner of Selfridges. Well, the waiting was worthful. We first saw Mario Testino. I didn't have my glasses on, so I didn't recognize him until 2 seconds after he was on the carpet. And I was too excited to get my iPhone ready, just got the back of him. Anyway, later on when he went back to take the photo, I finally caught the front of him!

Around 8 PM, we finally saw Karl coming! Surrounded by the bodyguards, medias and cameras, he was exactly what I saw on TV. Because we planned ahead of time, I caught a few good shots. However, without my real camera, iPhone didn't provide much quality.... Probably 10 minutes before he left for the roof cocktail party, my friend and I already lined up in front to catch up the last front photo of him. All of sudden, I saw he was signing for the girls while walking towards the elevator.... I didn't prepare for this, and thanks G that I had my tiny memo with me and he was kind enough to sign for me!

The purpose of Karl's trip was to launch his Karl line in Selfridges and to host a private cocktail party to honor this event. In fact, Selfridges will also debut the designer's premium line: Karl Lagerfeld Paris Man and a womenswear pop-up store (where we saw Karl. P.S the collection is awesome!) presenting the Olympic themed collection that named Team Karl!
