Lagerfeld scores again

Designer Karl Lagerfeld really does appear to have the Midas touch. His collaboration with H&M appears to be a success. Paris shoppers stood in line outside H&M last Friday at 6am just for a taste of the high life that the limited edition Lagerfeld for H&M collection offers them. According to one Paris shopper, the hype in France might have something to do with the fact that he designs for Chanel.

In London, the reactions were slightly more subdued. London shoppers seemed wary of the idea of such a great designer creating for a mass-market chain, according to Oxford street store manager Paul Roberts. Lagerfeld responds to these fears by stating that design is not a question of price anymore. Perhaps, in his case, it isn't.
