“I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth,” Karl Lagerfeld would often proudly blurt out. This enigmatic personality who revolutionized the world of fashion, in turn becoming an icon, founded his own fashion brand in the 1980s – a brand which he named after himself. The brand continues to live on after his death, vindicating the legacy of its founder and maintaining his essence, which combines Parisian styles with a carefree, rock-chic look.
In the Basque Country, Karl Lagerfeld has come in strong, hand in hand with the Galas Boutique, thanks to the opening of two stores in San Sebastián: in the Old Quarter and in the city center. These establishments feature a wide range of lifestyle collections, complete with accessories and prêt-à-porter garments for men and women – including pieces from the Rue Saint-Guillaume, Monogram, and Karl Ikonik lines, with a fun graphic feature that represents Lagerfeld dressed in his signature outfit: sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and a suit jacket. They also have clothing and accessories from the sustainable line, which uses materials such as recycled leather, polyester from used PET bottles, recycled wool, nylon produced by recycling fishing nets, and cotton from post-consumer waste.
Also, throughout the year, the boutiques offer capsule collections created by celebrities such as Cara Delevingne, Archie Alled Martínez, Amber Valletta, and Kenneth Ize.
The Karl Lagerfeld brand and the collaborating collections invite you to discover the overflowing creative world of the designer: his personality, his wit, his refined approach, and his pioneering perspective which always looked towards the future. Going back to one of the designer’s phrases… “I’m a very down-to-earth person, but it is my job to make that earth more pleasant.”
