The 'Where's Karl?' Picture Book Refashions an Iconic Kid's Classic

Fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld has become even more impossible to find in his latest book 'Where's Karl?.' The posh picture book is a high-fashion adaptation of the timeless 'Where's Waldo?' series.

Though Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most recognizable faces in fashion, the German fashion designer is quite illusive during fashion week festivities. In partnership with Ajiri A. Aki, Stacey Caldwell has captured the successful anomaly through this very fabulous version of the children's book 'Where's Waldo?.' Titled 'Where's Karl?' this book follows a fictional fashion blogger through 15 cities around the world in pursuit of the infamous Karl.

Each page displays brilliant illustrations by Michelle Baron, who draws Karl juxtaposed among other fashion personalities such as Ricardo Tisci, Bill Cunningham, Grace Coddington and many more.
