Now and Then : Karl Lagerfeld

Who woulda thought that the Austrian cutie in lederhosen would become a world leader in clothin' (note the attempt at a rhyme)

Yet I can still see the resemblance, which proves that, although you might like to forget the crazy confections you wore as a child, style perseveres.

So Karl went from bowl cut to pony tail, sedate smile to surly frown, but here's what stuck:

- tie with some sort of bolo-type embellishment
- white shirt with prominent collar
- flashy jewelry/metallics (note similarity in shape and style between belt buckle and lederhosen adornment)
