Music / Sound of FashionKarl Lagerfeld: secret fan of the musical undergroundDidn't expect Chanel’s bouclé suits to be soundtracked by A. G. Cook and Chromatics? Think againShareLink copied ✔️August 21, 2015MusicSound of FashionTextOwen Myers The Kaiser's stamp of approval doesn't come easily. Things that Mr Lagerfeld hates? Telephones, rice, sweatpants, and selfies. But the choosy creative director is a little more broad-minded when it comes to music.

Cook, Clark and Hercules & Love Affair for show soundtracks in recent years, as well as inviting Chromatics to perform at SS13 and using Lo-Fang on a Chanel No. 5 short film.
