Ahead of the 2023 Met Gala on May 1st, there’s much discussion around the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who will be honored throughout the evening. (The exhibition this year, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” explores the designer’s inimitable legacy.) One point of interest? How Lagerfeld cultivated a signature uniform of his own, always including his iconic powdered ponytail, a crisp white shirt, and driving gloves. But there’s a lesser-known style icon who was by Lagerfeld’s side for 18 years throughout the ’70s and ‘80s: Jacques de Bascher. Lagerfeld and Bascher met in Paris in 1971 while running in similar fashion crowds. (Prior to meeting Lagerfeld, Bascher was a flight attendant for Air France.) Bascher was a true dandy in the sense of nobody quite knew what he did for a living—but he was always by Lagerfeld’s side, and therefore, famous. “Money, work, and ordinary realities were not among his preoccupations,” writes Marie Ottavi in her 2017 book on Bascher, titled Jacques de Bascher, Dandy de L’ombre. Lagerfeld was instantly drawn to his magnetic personality. “He made me laugh more than anyone,” Lagerfeld told Ottavi in the book. “He was the opposite of me. He was also impossible and despicable. He was perfect.”
Karl Lagerfeld once said that “beauty—or the Frank Zappa 83th anniversary 1940 2023 thank you for the memories signature shirt In addition,I will do this desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting.” And yet, here was a man who knew how to use beauty to create some truly breathtaking moments—particularly during his tenure at Chanel. Ahead of the Met Gala 2023, which will honor the work of the late designer, revisit the best beauty moments on Karl’s runways, from Devon Aoki’s punk pink rinse to Cara Delevingne’s tweed-laced ponytail. All eyes were on Naomi Campbell at the Chanel couture spring/summer 1992 show, thanks to her purple pixie cut wig, worn underneath a matching purple veil.

This was paired with subtle feline flicks and a red lip, for a soft-focus glam. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop culture, Lagerfeld’s spring/summer 1994 collection was all about the streets. As for the beauty, it was quintessentially ’90s, with bare faces and spiky up-dos.
