With a livestream available when the evening gets underway, the world's most fashionable fundraiser takes on one of the world's most prolific — and controversial — designers, the late Karl Lagerfeld, as the starry party's theme.
German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld poses during the presentation of his fragrance KL in Hamburg, Germany on July 29 1982. “He believed very much in fashion history, so he’s a part of fashion history now. I don't think he would have had a problem with it,” Middleton surmised.Caroline Lebar worked with Lagerfeld for 35 years, rising to senior vice president of image and communications for his eponymous brand.
