Lagerfeld’s Lens
June 30th, 2010

Karl Lagerfeld isn’t just an iconic fashion designer with a weird diet and little fingerless gloves. He’s also a photographer – mostly of men and modern architecture (both well-constructed).

Lagerfeld’s latest book of photography, The Beauty of Violence, captures model Baptiste Giabiconi (Lagerfeld’s muse) writhing ecstatically in a pair of tights.

Whether The Beauty of Violence is an homage to the male form, a personality study, or simply Lagerfeld perving on his latest boy-toy, its title doesn’t lie: this is one beautiful book.
