Karl Lagerfeld’s Legacy Auction at Sotheby’s
From Choupette to Bedazzled iPods Karl Lagerfeld’s Auction of Wonders
Entertainment 24 Jan 2025

Attention all fashion lovers, pop culture enthusiasts, and those with a flair for the fabulously eccentric – the final chapter of Karl Lagerfeld’s Estate V, Le Studio is here. Running until 31 January at 1:00 PM CET, this Sotheby’s auction is a celebration of the late designer’s life, style, and wildly eclectic personal treasures.

From the absurdly chic to the downright unexpected, this collection offers something for everyone. Fancy a bedazzled iPod Mini and microphone? Or perhaps you’d prefer a Lanvin biscuit box, signed by Alber Elbaz, filled with biscuits that are as old as a decade?

For those who adore Choupette, Lagerfeld’s beloved blue-eyed feline muse, you’re in luck – the auction includes a Choupette photo album, alongside an array of caricatures, fashion sketches, and even meticulously recreated ensembles from the designer’s iconic wardrobe. It’s a rare chance to peek into the genius behind those dark sunglasses. Let’s not forget the furniture, either. Limited-edition pieces from Hedi Slimane’s F System collection are up for grabs, offering a piece of Lagerfeld’s effortlessly chic taste in interiors.

A set of four Apple ipod Nano, 5th generation (2009)

The exhibition is free and open to the public at 83 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, now on view until 31 January, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

So, whether you’re in the market for a collection of iPod Nanos (because who isn’t?) or just want to soak up the spectacle, this is your moment. Don’t miss out – these items are as unforgettable as Karl himself.

Explore the full auction here and place your bids now – the clock’s ticking!
