Ahead of the Met Gala, Vogue Business sat down with the CEO and design director of Karl Lagerfeld’s namesake brand to find out how they plan to drive it to €1 billion in sales.

Officially open to the public from today, there are 15 pieces from the Karl Lagerfeld archives on display in the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. What can visitors expect from Karl's namesake brand? 

Korean stars have global appeal; it’s why many were invited by luxury brands to attend their AW23 shows. On Monday, Chanel global ambassador and #Blackpink star Jennie made her #MetGala debut on Monday paying homage to Karl Lagerfeld in archival Chanel. Luxury brands are betting big on K-Pop, will it pay off?

Bridalwear is no longer just about the dress for the big day, take it from the carpet at this year's #MetGala. From runway to red carpet brands are noticing the opportunity for non-traditional, modern bridalwear for an array of occasions. 

Versace is among the surviving brands benefitting from archives dating back to heydays around Y2K and the 1990s, which are not only thriving trends now but we're also leant heavily into during the 2023 #MetGala - where #AnneHathaway wore custom #Versace.
