A new book on Karl Lagerfeld, ‘The World According To Karl,’ is due to launch this week featuring a collection of ‘Karlisms’ from the acid-tongued Chanel designer.

Famously outspoken, his sharp tongue can often get him into hot water. Earlier this year, he famously called the singer Adele “fat” which caused a tirade of outrage on Twitter and online.

The book, edited by Patrick Mauries, draws together Lagerfeld’s musings on everything from love and life to Chanel, fashion, his mother and more, with specially commissioned illustrations. A must-read for any Karl fans!

The World According to Karl (Thames & Hudson), £18.95
