We know Karl Lagerfeld for his keen sense of fashion, or his sharp eye for photography. But Karl was a jack-of-all-trades, and didn ‘t stop at fashion design or haute couture. An inveterate bibliophile, he founded his own publishing house and bookshop of the same name: 7L. An incredible place, open since 1999, where you’ll find books not only on fashion, but also on design, architecture and cooking. An amazing place that we recommend you visit at least once in your life!
Karl Lagerfeld’s bookshop: an astonishing and resolutely fashionable place!
This bookshop is more than a boutique ; it’s a secret and very intimate part of Karl Lagerfeld. Dedicated to the latest in the visual arts, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for if you love photography, architecture, fashion or design. This eclectic venue includes a bookshop, a publishing house and a library exclusively open to members of the “Friends of 7L”. A fantastic venue, the designer’s former photography studio regularly hosts concerts, and literary encounters every month. Surrounded by books, most of which belong to the fashion designer, this place is well worth a visit for anyone lucky enough to be a member.
“The smell of a freshly printed book is the best perfume in the world” Karl Lagerfeld
But if that’s not your case, don’t worry: the bookshop is open to all. You’ll find everything your artistic heart desires: cuisine, fashion, architecture, art of living… a cutting-edge selection that will enhance your knowledge and make you want to build on what you’ve learned! In short, an incredible and very secret bookshop for all art lovers to discover.
