Typographical Portrait Tees

The Karl Lagerfeld Shirt by I Love Dust is Iconic

Taking advantage of the fashion king's iconic image, British agency I Love Dust has produced a type-heavy T-shirt design for Karl Lagerfeld.

Featuring the sassy designer's easily recognizable face, the t-shirt stands out because of the interesting way they integrated famous and entertaining musings from the man himself. Just as famous for his work as he is for his often offensive quotes, this is an appropriate way to showcase Lagerfeld. The tee, which is set to be released as part of Lagerfeld's 'Karl' line, will be sold as limited edition products.

Balancing simple design with a punch of personality, the Lagerfeld shirt is an eye-catching piece. As bold as the man who inspired it, this tee by I Love Dust is a must-have for Chanel enthusiasts.
