Karl Lagerfeld’s luxury apartment in Paris, once owned by the late legendary fashion designer, has just changed hands at an exclusive auction, fetching a staggering 10 million euros. This extraordinary transaction captured the attention not only of fashion enthusiasts but also the entire world of luxury. The final price, reaching 11 million euros including notary fees, astonished many observers, as it was nearly double the initial asking price set at 5.3 million euros. Nevertheless, despite the high amount, details about the new owner remain a mystery.

The apartment is located in a charming 17th-century building on Quai Voltaire, which gives it a unique atmosphere and character. It consists of three spacious rooms, and its greatest asset is the breathtaking view of the Seine and the iconic Louvre. This place radiates history, style, and prestige, making it one of the most sought-after properties in the world of luxury real estate. This exceptional event marks a new chapter in the story of the apartment, which for years was a source of creative inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld himself. Now, as it passes into new hands, the only question that remains is what incredible stories and experiences await the future owners of this extraordinary place.

Karl Lagerfeld, born in Germany, was an undisputed giant in the world of fashion. With his spectacular creations and runway shows for his own brand, he forever changed the landscape of global fashion. He lived in this apartment for about a decade, until his death at the age of 85 in February 2019. As a result, every corner of this place carried the breath of his refined style and extraordinary creativity. His office and library are now open to the public, serving as a bookstore and event space in the very heart of Paris.

The new owner of the apartment admitted that he tried to emulate Lagerfeld’s aesthetic tastes and understand why this place was so extraordinary. However, despite his efforts, he acknowledges that it is difficult to match Lagerfeld’s perfectionism when it comes to aesthetics and style. “I tried my best… but the furniture, posters, photographs, paintings, books… being such a perfectionist about aesthetics is something I absolutely relate to, but of course I’m useless in comparison”, said Brühl.
